From the market square, or, the noisy bazar near you selling every nick knacks to fishes and flower, from the ancient barter system following the historical trade routes to India, the spicy route or silk route, however, you may call it, man’s trading and commerce when it takes a step ahead of the altruistic motif, it goes on into inflation, an usurper of the ego, and, using it as a powerful dynamic artifice to control markets and his wild dreams of chasing after an effervescing elephant, I mean “immortality”, for that, power of new technology, search for exoplanets, and, understanding gnosis is important to man to add to his credentials.

He joins the rat race, himself becoming a field rat, testing his own limits, and, cutting off the branch he is sitting on, he forgets that he can grow flowers, sing songs, play guitar, camp outside and be a star gazer….he forgets can work on the synaptic patterns in the brain, study ant behaviour and use bio-mimicry whenever necessary for humanity at large, can use mathematics to study weather patterns, and, all that is good for humanity. But if he fails to find, inspite of all that, the real source of Love, which is the Self abiding in itself not as an object but as pure being-awareness, the reflection of which is in the earth itself,  man would falter to protect his sentience, and, then he would degenerate into a living zombie operated by a chain of AI devices. All that Bob Dylan songs, and the kirtans of the Bauls, the songs of troubadours, and the classic repertoire of Mozart, Bach or a Beethoven would confine us each in a solitary cell called Hell or Dante’s Inferno. To get back to Joni Mitchell’s GARDEN we need to find source of a transcendental love, divine love. it is not a magical phenomenon that is hard to acquire, but, practice or sadhana is required. Otherwise, we would still be doing altruistic service like charity, or, helping others with meals, but, in guise of the ego. We would not even know it, it is so subtle, and, causality would bind us forever. It would be work, but, not Karma Yoga which Swami Vivekananda talked about. Doing work, and, not transforming that into karma yoga is like getting fried in a  living cauldron where time cooks everything thing from grasses to kings and paupers. This is what Yudhisthira answers the Yaksha in Mahabharata when asked about What’s the News….to be with time is to find compassion and love …..then time would follow you or time would on your side always…..- JRC, Tantra foundation
