হাতে রইলো পেন্সিল

পৃথিবীতে দুটো জাত।

একটা ছোটোলোক , একটা ভদ্রলোক।

ছোটলোকদের ডক্টরেট ডিগ্রি আছে , বড় গাড়ি আছে , সুন্দরী বৌ আছে , সেট করা জ্যোতিষী,পন্ডিতজি , উকিল, একাউন্টেন্ট আছে , ১.৫ কোটি দিয়ে কলকাতায় ফ্ল্যাট কেনার খেমটাও আছে।

ফেসবুক আছে , হোয়াটস্যাপ ইউনিভার্সিটি আছে , ধর্মের গোড়ামি আছে , ওদের জন্যে ক্রিকেট রয়েছে , বলিউড রয়েছে , মাকাইবাড়ির চা আছে , গ্লেনফেদ্দিছের বোতল আছে।

ভদ্রলোকের কিছু নেই , শুধু বইয়ের তাকে দুটো বই আছে ,

ছোটোলোক গুলো যতই বই দুটো কিনুক , বুঝবে কিন্তু না ।

The middle class trap

I have heard this many times that middle class life is bliss. You are not rich enough to be insecure with your wealth, not poor enough to be incapable of meeting your survival needs. It is the middle class that is the fuel of the economy. We, the middle class people, should aspire to educate ourselves , have ambitions to be rich and lead a moral disciplined life. We should be loyal to our friends , families and our jobs. We should be religious and honest and punctual and be sensitive to the needs of the society. However, when I think carefully , it seems that the existence of middle class itself is an illusion. Someone who is a middle class in USA is a poor class person in Africa.

In India a Brahmin and a Sudra can both be economically middle class but in terms of social hierarchy , one of them enjoys higher power and prestige than the other. The use of the term middle class...

The twenty laws of The Mother

To these words , I may add another one , " The Universal Mother" , the ONE , who expresses herself through NATURE. 2) The Universe is the play of existence and non existence and the mutual interactions between them.

We can not think of Life separated from Death or of Good without thinking of evil. These are interdependent of each other and cannot exist in isolation. 4) Matter is Energy that is condensed in finite time and space. Matter is one of many manifestations of energy. The creative and destructive energy of the Universe is manifestation of consciousness. This is the One source of all Truth and Bliss. We can call it Love....

The Introduction to the Bhagavad Gita by Aldous Huxley

This interpretation of perennial philosophy (Sanatana-dharma) by Aldous Huxley is one of my favorite reads from the subject of Philosophy. When I first read it , I realized that it does not take understanding of Quantum Physics and Neurosciences to know the reality. Consciousness , herself has the ability to realize herself through an intuitive knowledge. The Perennial Philosophy, as realized by the subjective experiences of many mystics , in different religious traditions , offers a universal metaphysical framework that transcends individual world views. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of all life and things in the Universe and promotes a path of self-realization and divine unity, offering a profound alternative to the materialistic and action-oriented philosophies that dominate modern thought. Here it is : "The Introduction to the Bhagavad Gita by Aldous Huxley (The Introduction is in the Translation of Bhagavad-Gita by Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood.) ...
