WILL GOD INCARNATE? DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKARIt is generally observed that; the believers in God; are often agitated by the events; which appear unjust; to them. The belief that God is just; is shaken. The belief that God punishes the evil is shattered. The faith in goodness weakens. In fact; the conflict torments them.
But the story of the atheists is also not different. The “convictions” of various shades of leftist ideologies such as Marxist, Maoist, Leninist; etc; also get eroded; due to the failure; to achieve the projected or anticipated results; of the revolutionary theories and struggles.
As a result; the practice of NAMASMARAN; appears to be futile and the revolutionary efforts; appear to go in vain; respectively.
It is precisely; here that we have to appreciate; that; God; or nature; does not exist and function; according our subjective imaginations, postulations, hypotheses, fantasies; or even so called logical frameworks of ideologies. In other words; God or nature; does not work in accordance with our subjectivity.
Whether we call it emancipation of mankind; or we call it; global revolution bringing about prosperity and profundity; it is essentially; an ongoing process of transformation from subjectivity to objectivity. It is an ongoing process of intellectual, emotional, instinctual and physical evolution resulting in blossoming from within; coupled with tangible manifestation in personal and social life.
Thus if we are theists, then we have to appreciate that God incarnates within us; in the form increasing accuracy, objectivity and universality; in our perspective, thinking, emotions, instincts, physical wants; and our behavior at all these planes.
If we are atheists; then we have to appreciate that our theories of revolutions; would materialize; as and when they become increasingly objective and accurate; i.e. in tune with nature.
It is however; not possible to become objective and accurate; voluntarily; and on our own; even if our ego may suggest so. The simplest way for this; is NAMASMARAN {Jap, jaap, jikra, sumiran, simaran i.e. remembering our true) self}, which reorients and reconstitutes us; in our true and objective self.
If we are agitated by personal or social ‘evils’ or ‘retrogressive forces’; then it is urgent and essential; to practice, propagate and universalize; with top priority; the “oxygen” of NAMASMARAN; amidst our day to day routine and hustle bustle; and conquer our stress, which is pandemic!
