Forest of Relations

Forest of Relations


Human is still native of forest though we are having cement concrete constructed cities and houses, even still we are in the forest, it might make difference that this forest is not with variety of plants and animals just a single species is there and that is human. Psychologist say that human is social animal and can’t leave alone might be the reason forcing human to form various communities, societies, races and casts. Interestingly in all these forms of mutual living the connecting thread is “relations” , at every walk of life human goes under the influences and creates relations.

With the birth human gets relations like race, cast, nation and so on and growing age adds “Friends” a new relation, a more few year of time brings a new relation series in human life, this series called “in-law “ series, yet another mother enters in to human life as the “Mother-in-law”. In fact this relation asked and inspired me for this writing. I don’t know what real situations are in the Europe or in America about this an important relation of human life but in India this relation is the relation of respect and fear. Famous T V serial “Kiyoon Ki Saas Bhi Bahu Thi” is expressing sweets and sours of this relation since past few years. A very famous joke about the fears of this relation goes like this.

A death procession was going on the strange thing about was that all the men following the dead body were moving in proper lines like the military march, The orchestra was at the beginning and between the band and dead body was moving a garlanded dog. A villager visiting city was surprised to see all this so he asked the last man in the line about this and in reply moved to next in the line, subsequently he reached to man moving with dog, who replied “ This is dead body of my “Mother in law” she died due to biting of this dog”. “Will you please give me this dog for just one day?” was the next question of the villager for which he was suggested to go behind and wait in the line for his turn.

I don’t think I need to write more about this dangerous relation of human life, just read the following
MOTHER-IN-LAW:
When you rearrange the letters:
WOMAN HITLER

How long to ignore

How long to ignore

Every platform of the world is being used by the speakers for alarming about the day by day lowering of the values in the human life, the situation is speeding from bad to worst. Our every media of mass communication is highlighted with news of rape, corruption, robbery and other crimes. Why our youth is finding it interesting to kill some one just for the sake of fun? Why there are no morals of conducts in the society? Is our vision of individuality responsible for that? Are we unable to justify our freedom of thoughts and social behavior? These were the few questions among the reasons that tempted me to go for this writing and search my inner self for the answers.

When I searched my heart and mind I found that since centuries it is the tradition that children are getting knowledge and wealth of their parents as heredity rights. In fact parents are encircled with the affection and greed of transferring their knowledge and physical wealth only to their children and during this process often forget that according to Hindu vision of life knowledge and monetary wealth [Laksmi] never remains with undeserving hands, though a scientific base can be provided for this human tendency but it is fact that this is not essential rule of ideal human behavior because in that case a foolish son will become owner of wisdom of the father. Wisdom and knowledge will become property of foolish person that will generate proud within them and they will start working for the lowering the morals of social behavior.

This is happening not only in India but almost in all parts of the world as a natural phenomenon. This affection and greed of the parents, that is working as the root cause of lowering the values and unmoral social behavior is the natural weakness of human beings is an on going natural reaction hence the treatment or the remedial process should also be on going. We are eating at regular interval daily to come over the weakness resulted from our day to day work but since the centuries we are ignoring the remedial process for this affection and greed. The best remedy for this is education and unfortunately our present education institutions are turned in to training centers, from where children are getting trained in the skills of earning instead of gaining the knowledge and wisdom. As long as this ignorance is in existence it is almost impossible for thinking about value respecting and well moral human society.

Dhan Sri Guru Nanak dev Sahib ji tried to establish a tradition by handing over their spiritual powers to Bhai Lahana [Second Sikh Guru, Guru Angad Dev Sahib] instead of own sons Baba Srichand and Baba lakhmichand [who were also spiritually developed]. In this era of economics and monetary powers it is almost hard to implement but surely it is within our reach to stop the ignorance of centuries with honest efforts of making our educational institutions the true place for gaining knowledge and sharpening the wisdom.
