Kalyug

Posted by Suman on Dec 17, 2020

Humans perform at their peak when they do not know.

That is when they are "empty".

For when they have nothing to cling on to,

they revert back to "factory settings".

A human still retaining his "factory settings"

is the Creator.

He is his Ultimate.

He simply is.


Unnecessary, external, not-at-all-needed

information takes man away from Himself.

In ways that are infinitely infinite.

Such "knowledge" is his demise.

It keeps him from Understanding.


Anything external is simply a barrier.

What man knows, he knows.

It is his ally.

That (internal) knowledge will Serve him in ways

only such a rare human will understand.


The above statements are not to be associated with trivial situations.

For instance, knowing the right addon or plugin to a software

or some best-practice in other meniality.

The statements are meant for situations that truly matter.

For instance, life-and-death situations,

or where the stake is momentous.

This could be leading a tribe or a group or a company,

dealing with a global catastrophe,

attempting a world-record feat in a sport or practice,

or raising a new-born supremely.


Uncalled for (external) information will impede not just

the individual budding super-human,

but also a collective like society.

You may have been taken aback by the statement above.

How can a group of individuals operate let alone thrive,

without sharing of external knowledge?

But the question itself is proof of the abyss of ignorance

any and all collectives have fallen into.


The modern era is aptly labeled "kalyug"

in Hinduism.

(No, I am no proponent of any "ity" or "ism".)

But more than anything, unnecessary information

in its pictorial, vivid, and other "innovative" forms

has been the lifeblood of whatever picture "kalyug"

paints for you.


The movie Tenet ends with the following monologue...

"It's the bomb that didn't go off.

The danger no one knew was real.

That's the bomb with the real power to change the world."


Indeed.

For any information related to the collective in the slightest way

drives the collective back into its demise -

gossip, proceedings, agendas, and other propaganda

triggered by the emotional response to that information.

A bomb that does not go off, more than anything,

keeps the information about it going off.


Information about anything - real or not- make humans

cling on to what could be or what has been.

All the could be's and has been's in a humans life

is at the root of all his hiding, chases, and escapes,

keeping him from knowing the Truth,

and Acting simply and supremely.

Thank you.
