LIFE IS A PARADOX PURIYADHA PUDHIR
“The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.” —
Albert Einstein
From where Einstein could have cot it?
Katradhu kaimannalavu kaalladhadhu malaiyalavu Learnt is fistful; the rest
is like a Himalaya. 2000 years ago. But we do not know that.
Shankara considered the purity and steadiness of mind achieved
in Yoga as an aid to gaining moksha knowledge, but such yogic state of mind
cannot in itself give rise to such knowledge. To Shankara, that knowledge
of Brahman springs only from inquiry into the teachings of the Upanishads.
And one who said these words also wrote: Bhavani ashtakam: Na thatho, na
matha, na bandur na datha,
Na puthro, na puthri , na bruthyo , na bartha,
Na jayaa na Vidhya, na Vruthir mamaiva,
Gathisthwam, Gathisthwam Thwam ekaa Bhavani.
Neither the mother nor the father,
Neither the relation nor the friend,
Neither the son nor the daughter,
Neither the servant nor the husband,
Neither the wife nor the knowledge,
And neither my sole occupation,
Are my refuges that I can depend, Oh, Bhavani,
So you are my refuge and my only refuge, Bhavani.
So, paradox means not any kind of mishap happening; but
unexpected results against the wishes; which may be happiness or
sufferings; and calculation of the computer-brain failed one. There is
another word; a battle field; Vazhkaye oru porkalam, athaai vazhndhuthaan
paarkanum; meaning Life is a battle field and one has to undergo the battle
by existing as long as predetermined. One cannot choose his battle. Paradox
is caused by the EGO. How many egos we have met among our bosses? That ego
when cause the paradox, people become astonished and named it as a paradox.
When you win the battle by indirect means undisclosed it is moral victory;
but the same thing done by another dis honest is a surprise paradox; and
one who wins by dharma, is a paradox as he would have paid so much money to
win etc. Mind is the centre where the paradox would arise. KR IRS 301223
