Hinduism and its offshoots has brought forth with it many Quixotic spiritual theories which has little or no practical applications. Some of them are: Non Duality, Sat-Chit-Ananda, Nirvana, Moksha, Siddhi & Sahasrara.
They all belong to the realms of a world of fantasy created with God as the base. They are all about supramental & psychic consciousness, merging with the God, liberation from reincarnation & suffering, and all such “spiritual nautanki”!
People who swear by these theories project these as some kind of a formula to experience everlasting bliss and liberation from sufferings of all kind.
For me those spiritual formulas are nothing but HALLUCINATIONS…
… suffered by people who have drugged themselves with the believe in God! And some of them go about peddling such hallucinatory ideas amongst the masses with great articulation and oration – and also create a business out of it.
And since the masses already have minds which are extremely prone to all kinds of superstition and irrational beliefs, they lap everything up without any questions.
Little do they realize that spiritual theories emanating from and based on God are all bakwas having NO practical value at all! Because it’s always about surrendering to God or merging with Him or achieving some (impossible) level of consciousness.
The reason why such self-delusory beliefs have taken roots is because…
… its proponents having sacrificed the real world around them (and do not live the kind of lives that the ordinary person does…that is looking after a family and building a career and all that), have spent their whole lives drugging themselves with the belief in a supernatural power called God - and creating hallucinatory spiritual theories with God as the main base. And because of the psychological make-up of theists, people are instantly attracted to it.
But has humanity benefited from these “spiritual nautanki”? In no way at all!
Has the world become highly spiritual? No!
Has the world seen the end of all kinds of social miseries and social evils? No!
Of course, I want the human society to me more Spiritual…
… and more Disciplined and also more Matured. But I do not want to parade some idealistic and exotic and fantastic spiritual ideas for this. I am not interested in some idealistic society. For the simple reason that this is IMPOSSIBLE to achieve!
In order to be more Spiritual and more Disciplined and also more Matured, I suggest that people read books written by authors all over the world on these issues and many more. More importantly, such books are not influenced by any God. They all are secular, practical, realistic and to-the-point, in whatever they are trying to explain.
I admit even then no idealistic society is possible!
But, at least, people can learn something practical and achievable and try to implement them in their lives, in varying degrees.
Finally, another reason why those “spiritual nautanki” is being paraded…
… is because it also makes for GOOD BUSINESS too!
