Headless My writings, though informal, have never been intended to get published anywhere. It took six months to start writing, even harder was to think of a subject and now the hardest part seems to give it a heading, so better it’s called Headless! The most disturbing incidents in my educational life or related with it were the sudden departure of Prof KN Navlekar and later, absentmindedness and blank appearance of Dr PK Shriwastav. He was suffering from some disease. They taught me, they loved me. They were good teachers. A teacher can not be confined to a classroom with formal teaching. Any physical or abstract entity can be a teacher. We should not agree to the general interpretation of “One’s life is incomplete without a teacher”. Teacher, for me, stands for “Instinct to learn” on the part of one. One who doesn’t or ceases to learn from man, birds, stone, experience, sea, sky, incidents, books, TV, soil, animals, society, mountain, cosmos or whatsoever, is incomplete. Instinct to learn throughout the life is vital. Any entity can be our teacher and the whole galaxy of such teachers should be represented by our formal teachers!! A little tough job!! We should also learn to understand much explained “Cause-Effect Chain”. Nothing can ever escape this chain. Wise understanding of life, its joys, its sorrows, its surprises, harmony, success, failure, peace, peace of mind solely depends on our understanding of “Cause-Effect Chain” Luck rests in some abandoned corner, only if we understand it. So many known-unknown factors play fairly a big role in shaping of our understandings. So, our understandings no more remain natural, first-hand. They are biased, adulterated. Let’s get rid of our prejudices. Let’s become like a blank slate to ease learning. We live for ours, we live for others. We are what they think of us. Our thoughts, our actions are judged by them just as our teachers do it. Whole world is our teacher. We should learn a lot from our teachers. A much hyped threat today is Climate Change. But it has nothing to do with man-made world. This universe including our earth has been changing for thousand of years, right from its origin. Change is the first law of universe. Man can never bring about any change on it. Human race is too tiny before the vastness and immensity of the universe. It’s not in it from the beginning; it will not be in it for ever. How old are we? Maybe, we are not here in next 500, 1000 or 2000 years. We should not even imagine in our dreams about the human-hand in climate change. It will keep on changing even much after the human race. We are very transient!! And even so is our love. But we ought to learn it. It does not let us loosen our ties with the world and its innumerable manifestations. We are one among its manifestations. An ideal example of love should be of such a status in which one wishes to live longer than another and this much only to save another from the grief of one’s departure. He/she prefers taking on this grief instead. But why are we here? Why have we taken birth? Why do we live? To love, to eat, to work, to meditate, to worship, to eulogize, to reproduce, to fight? No!! We simply spend time on earth, our ways are different, our priorities are different. Ultimately, we spend time. Time is a man-made device that has been stuffed into the motion. Time is static. Time does not move forward. We can easily understand it with a very popular example of a moving train in which a passenger feels himself static and the tress outside running whereas the reality remains entirely opposite. All living beings turn into ashes or dust which in some way or the other help many creatures and plants grow. This is a cycle. Everything has been and becomes parts of this cycle. So life or death is nothing but a simple change of form. Death is another way of being. This change of form is not of much importance. Take death lightly and life seriously. Man is a businessman!! Man invests thoughts, attitudes, efforts, actions, health, feelings and everything, and gets returns accordingly in life. Man is always required to be a good businessman, most important of all. We invest in this world arena. We are a player. At the same time, we should be a keen spectator. This, again, eases our learning and understanding. Uncertainty is another very important factor in human life. It finds roots in our ignorance. We know everything is uncertain in life but only as long as we are ignorant of the facts of cause-effect system. 2+2 is always 4, 5-2 is always 3 but it’s really The Toughest to ascertain the pasts and correlate them to reach the best and nearest conclusion. Reaching the right conclusion being the toughest or rather impossible makes us realize the uncertainty in life. But everything in life is certain, only if we are capable of understanding the life in its fractions minutely. Let’s learn it too!! Good Luck!!
