Todays humans facing lot of challenges. However, challenges at psychic level are more than physical level. Could it be possible to rectify these challenges. I am quite hopeful but human civilization needs radicalized change in their thought process because as problem is at mental level, thus, corrections are also required in same domain.
Todays humans are more concerned for their success but in real sense, they do not know what they are looking at. If you take my opinion, all human beings are concerned for peace which resides in infinite happiness. As humans are surviving at three different stages i.e. physical, mental and spiritual. Thus, success may be considered in three different domains i.e. success at physical, mental and spiritual level. however, according to philosophy, success in other two domains is just a misnomer, and true success is success in spiritual domain. Now, question arises that why success is spiritual domain is true success because success in other two domain is not permanent however, success is spiritual domain is permanent. However, it is quite difficult to support this fact with suitable example but let us try to do the same. The answer to this question lies in the concept that humans are more psycho-spiritual than physico-psychic. Before going to explain this fact, it is necessary to define certain terminologies.
What is spirituality? In my opinion, spirituality starts at mental level with a thought process that everything is possible with strong connection of Almighty. Spirituality gives you strength in difficult situation to fight against all odds. Scientifically, it has also been proven at number of times. Let us take a suitable example. Today’s world has heard about the placebo effect. What is placebo effect? One person gets cured even taking sugar pills and without taking suitable medicine for the particular disease. How could it be that possible. How science explains this fact. The answer lies in spirituality where people feel that some entity is helping us and ultimately his body is reacting is same manner at physiological level which makes his body free from any disease. Thus, this statement may be given that spirituality is the base of every human life.
Now, if you talk about the god and ask a question about how he looks like and then, you may get number of different answers. Let us analyse this fact. Why you are getting different answers because no one seen the god and its not possible at all at physical level. However, it is possible at psychic level. GOD is omnipresent and limitless entity, and it is impossible to give size and shape to such entity. Number of philosophers has tried to do the same, but they failed miserably in doing the same.
Today’s world with different religions (Hinduism, Christanism, Islamism, Buddhism, janism), all thought process gives GOD a limited entity with certain idol figures. How could it be possible to explain the unlimited entity with limited idol figure. However, Anada marga is another school of thought where spirituality or unlimitedness could be attained using limited entity. Shrii Ananda murti jii is the founder head of the organization called Anada Marga where HE has given number of theories which actually will save the suffering humanity.
What is difference between idol worship and Ananda Marga philosophy. First of all, it’s not possible to limit the unlimited entity using any suitable idol. Second, if someone proposing it as a symbolic figure of GOD, then, again, it is not justifiable approach because as you think, you become. Thus, if you are worshipping any idols, then, you become limited at mental level and using the same path, it is quite difficult to attain unlimited.
However, question arises that whether photograph (prati roop) may be taken into account to attain unlimited entity. In case of Ananda Marga philosophy, Ananda Margi’s generally tries to attain unlimitedness by taking into account of shrii Ananda Murti jii photograph (Prati roop or they loving called BABA) by doing BABA NAM KEVALAM kirtana and doing meditation twice a day. Now, this concept looks reliable in my opinion because there are only three historic figures came on this planet who have given strong impetus to human civilization on this planet. These figures are Lord Shiva, Lord Krishna and Lord Anada Murti jii. However, any non-anada Margi may not accept the same theory and it is quite justifiable approach as well. Let us analyse this fact. As both Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna did not come during digital age, thus, it is not possible to have any photograph of the same.
People generally make their idols depending upon their memory and further, lot of modifications are quite realistic as people love someone, then, they try to add something (ornamental features) according to their imaginations as well. Further, respect for photograph is quite logical because this entity is true GURU. What is meaning of GURU? GURU is made of two terms i.e. GU and RU. A true guru is one who escapes darkness from you. A true GURU is one who makes you realize about the unlimited entity and also keeps good co-ordination with this physical world. Thus, photograph has very profound meaning because each and every photograph has strong vibration and vibration coming out the photograph will be helpful in realizing the supreme consciousness or about the unlimited entity.
Now, Ananda Marga is a way of life which has been propounded by number of theories by Shrii Ananda Murti jii while Ananda Marga organization is a physical structure where spirituality or morality is the essence of life supported by good thought process at mental level and co-ordinated effort at physical level. But currently in true sense, Ananda Marga Organisation has lost its path and moving in different directions as directed by Shrii Ananda Murti jii.
A basic idealistic principle of Ananda Marga Organization is “all human being is one and indivisible” (In hindi, a proverb is quite common as “EK CHULHA EK CHAUKA, EK HAI MANAV SAMAJ”). Ideally after long struggle and cohesion, today, Ananda Marga should be developed as a strong and single alternative for the society but due to internal conflict, organization is slowly succumbing to its own death. If proper measure is not taken, I am quite sure that degradation of Anada Marga organisation and human civilisation is inevitable atleast on this planet. Death of Anada Marga organisation will be death of human civilisation on this planet. However, human civilisation will remain active on some other planet. I am not a fortune teller, but intuition tells that time is very less. Thus, all readers reading this article must come forward to save the Ananda Marga organisation which may be possible through the following process:
- Establishment for ideal principles of guru or parmatma or taraka brahma
- Strengthen the collective unity or better say, organisation
- Restructure the organisation structure
- Go for service like Narayan sewa, starting schools etc.
However, it’s quite difficult to prioritise the points given above but it is almost certain the point 1 is most important and given utmost priority (99% emphasis must be given on point 1). All the points must be taken into account with a subjective approach and objective adjustment.
