The Story Of A Monkey Nation

Once upon a time some mad monkeys got free,
They knew nothing, except jumping on the tree!

A wise man died helping is now being venerated as father,
But these monkeys just love to emulate their own kind rather,

Those few brave men, who suffered helping set monkeys free,
Now lamenting that why evolution isn’t happening on this tree?!

Nature is saying, those you helped are just bunch of baboons,
They will stay buffoons, since sanity can’t be fed via spoons,

Watching other human nations progress, monkeys just grate,
Monkey mantra is, yeh we’re dumb but our ancestors were great!

In monkey nation nobody asks where they are really going,
Moving backward doesn’t matter, it’s just ride they’re enjoying,

When you talk about science, they gasp exclaiming ‘what?!’,
Monkeys aren’t learning anything after inventing ‘naught’!

While being a beggar, they say, we had lots of leaves & fruits,
Now tree is empty because of those human tyrants’ past loots,

Why some transform into human and some remain as monkey?
First of all, ability to have such thought is the evolution’s key!

Next generation of monkeys, still addicted to the same dope,
What they want to do is just be a bigger monkey and sit on top!

So who want to help these mad monkeys and give some rope,
Well, to such thankless and useless job, my answer is nope!

Not  because  I  don’t  have  ability  or  the  required  rope,
But when asked, God smiled and winked, indicating no hope!

No monkey has been harmed while writing this piece. ( If they are mangling each other themselves then it’s a different story ) 😉

This is pure work of fiction and any resemblances to any nation or its citizens is just a coincidence. ( Unless you are intelligent enough to know that it is not! ) 😉

Voluntary Personality Evaluation Test

Select the expression best suits you while reading the above piece,

1.) It just doesn’t make any sense or I just can’t understand it

2.) It makes me angry

3.) I just burst out of laughter

 Answers:

If you selected,

1.) Congratulations – you have successfully preserved your ancestral cerebral abilities

2.) Now you are not just an ape but a mad ape

3.) Glad to confirm that evolution is working in your case!

_________________

From our research we have found following few more indicators which depicts an ape like aptitude and behavior

– Wasting time on social media sending ‘Happy Independence Day’ messages without understanding or mediating on what freedom really means.

– Changing personal or group DP, simply because ‘others’ are doing it’ suggests strong affinity to ‘ape-titude’.

– You have a strong belief that some person, politician or a religion will set you free.

I will end here because once a wise man told me that apes don’t take it well if asked to use their mind for too long. Or maybe I was just saying that to myself…

The Origin

If everything can be created from basic elements,
Then from where comes, the spirit and sentiments!

Logic is really limited by our perceptual embodiments,
Awareness is the only sublime, rest is just physical sediments,

Material things can never exist without its own impediments,
Be enlightened to feel universe beyond sensual experiments!

True knowledge stands for tearing down religious regiments,
Godliness doesn’t stay inside the stagnant sectorial segments.

What is it that without understanding it, even if you understand everything else, you understand nothing? Or What is it that by just understanding it, you understand everything, even if you don’t understand anything else?

There are things beyond the grasp of our senses which can just detect very tiny part of vast universe. That’s why rising above the physical senses is the first step of Yog. Because how can you connect and feel the unlimited by being limited! A sense of the world devised by our perceptions is very limited. Then our limited ability of logic puts additional restraints on our efforts of understanding the things which are beyond logic. Beyond logic in terms of, beyond your pay-grade if you will! Our definition of ‘existence’ is very rudimentary and just considers the physical aspects of being. True ability of awareness is something most human beings can’t contemplate. That’s the reason that enlightenment eludes them.

Religions even add more blurriness to the already blinded and miserable beings. Subscribing to any religion is like putting a thick faulty monochrome filter in front of the eyes of a person already suffering with limitedly illumined understanding ability. That is the reason that so-called religions or imaginations of God, doesn’t help alleviate the misery of the masses.

Perhaps that’s why Shree Krishna says,

“…. यततामपि सिद्धानां कश्चिन्मां वेत्ति तत्वतः||” (Geeta 7.3)

Sometimes someone from millions of men makes an effort to become a true Yogi. And even from (millions of) those who have become Yogi, hardly a single yogi is able to know/understand about my true nature of existence.

Today is the day to meditate and contemplate on that Krishna-tatva.

જન્માષ્ટમી તો એક નિમિત્ત માત્ર છે આવા આ કૃષ્ણતત્વ વિષે વિચારવાની અને એમાં સમાધિસ્થ થવાની કારણ કે જે જન્મ અને મૃત્યુથી પર છે એના જન્મદિવસ ના હોય. લીલાઓની વાર્તાઓ અને એના અનુકૂળ અર્થઘટનો તો ડોશીઓ અથવા તો એવા ઓછી સમજણવાળા લોકો માટે છે. ( પણ એ બહાને પણ કદાચ એમની જિજ્ઞાસાવૃત્તિ જાગૃત થાય અને ભવિષ્યમાં એ સાચા કૃષ્ણને જાણવા પ્રયત કરે તો એમાં પણ કશું ખોટું નથી ) સાચું કૃષ્ણતત્વ તો ગીતા અને ઉપનિષદોમાં આંશિક રીતે ઝીલાયું છે જેનો અભ્યાસ જો ના કર્યો હોય તો, આજ એનું રીમાઇન્ડર છે.

Eventually Settled

Eventually everything will just seem to be settled,
As it always does,  the world  will be  left rattled,

People  will  again   adjust   to  the   new    rhythm,
But future remains same through the reality’s prism,

When  everyone  will  start  singing  about  La  Dolce  Vita,
Fools will resume the fighting, wielding Koran, Bible or Geeta,

What  is  there  to prove with  Cogito Ergo Sum,
When nobody thinks but just beats egoistic drum!

Let’s not forget that no one remembers Memento Mori!
Because  the  death  is  really  not  an end of the  story!

This  world’s  strange  ways are  all  about Caveat Emptor,
If you feel swindled then please start  the new chapter!

While copious calamities come and go, one thing always remains constant and that is the abject stupidity of mankind. It shouldn’t be any surprise that most fail (and will keep on failing) to grasp the basic understanding and keep on repeating the same mistakes again and again.  If I have to bet either for humanity to wise up or for its eternal idiocy then the choice is very clear.

Eventually, it’s up to the individual as this poem says, that nobody is your savior but you yourself. So caveat emptor applies to your own choices in life too dear friends!

Ohh and well, love is not forever and for always, but lunacy is 😉

Lend A Hand

To a fellow human, To you my friend,
I know that you will be the same, that you can’t mend,
But still, to you my friend, I lend my hand,

For all those dear and those in despair,
I knew and I’m aware, that you can’t repair,
But I’ve loved and will love, so here, I lend my hand,

You hated others, for not following your bigot-band,
I know but can’t change, being dogmatic is the new trend,
But I have wished, and still wish for the sense,
so I’m lending my hand,

You asked questions, just like everybody else!
I knew, have known, the answers which can’t be explained,
And I never pretend, so here I truly lend my hand,

You could just grab, not afraid that I might get a stab,
I have always known, the meaning of castles on the sand!
But still, I can’t flinch or bend, and so here I lend my hand,

To a fellow human, to you my friend….
(Whenever you feel like getting up)
Just hold that hand…

Let’s try to forget and forgive fellow human being’s foolishness and lend them a hand to get up and get out of the mess of ignorance. I believe, if you think you are smart and more understanding, then you will definitely try to mend the broken bridges between fellow humans.

There is no shame in apologizing even if you are right, if that unassuming gesture of yours pleases someone and helps them to rethink their behavior towards others. Flexibility, and not the stubbornness is the true quality of an education.  Biggest problem is that one side, often with some sort of degree or better education, thinks they are too smart and always insult and despise others for their way of life. But in fact, it’s them who is making mistake with their snobby attitude. Because if you think that the other person is not capable of thinking much then whom do you think should be of open heart and making concessions.

It’s never about making the difference. It is always about being little different 🙂

Those who say that the change in others is hardly possible, should try to change themselves first 😉

Wit & wisdom with bit of sarcasm

અહીં ફક્ત હાસ્ય પીરસાયું છે, વ્યંગ સમજીને વિનોદથી રહેવું,
જ્ઞાની ગણ તો આનંદિત થશે,  મુર્ખાઓને  પડશે   થોડું સહેવું.

Wit  &  wisdom with bit of sarcasm, ready to serve,
Enjoy with understanding, it’s the joy you deserve,
Wise will adorn their faces with smiley curve,
Fools might feel like it’s pinching their nerve.

I must clearly mention that I really do not claim to teach or preach anyone anything. Neither do I desire to change anyone nor do I despise the stupidity of the people. I am well beyond petty quarrels of petty creatures to give it any thought 🙂

Do I really need to say anything else for the content being served here? 😉
