Dosti mei gustaqui karenge
hum sirf ek baar....
dost sab paidal chalenge,
aur hum janaazey pe sawaar...!
I was reminded of this
'gustaaqui' yet again, when I looked at what I churned out as an
'uninvited' response to a comment made by 'x' at a blog of 'y' (where
as, I am not even an 'a/b/c' in the queue!)..
And the response I gave,
....
when I myself tried to
look at it ,...
seemed like a 'same side
goal'....!
(I am almost a critic of
my own very 'religion'!... What a situation!)
this is what I wrote!
Quote:
“"why
didn't Krishna told Gita to everyone present on the battlefield?"
(the reference portion, used for my response...)
Maybe,
they are in the queue!... At the railway enquiry counter, we often
find the counter-clerk showing that 'fatigue' (of having answered the
same question over and over ,) so visibly.. when the next fellow asks
it yet again! Especially the "late running trains, and its
'expected' time of arrival"... People can even read it on a
scribbled white/black board nearby, or even that digital scroll
(now-a-days), but still 'like to make it doubly-sure' !
Why do we "get" a question like, "is it ....'really'... applicable to others too?"... (Now, using the same 'railway counter' as an example... suppose that counter clerk got a 'news' that this 'delayed train' has met with some 'derailment'... details awaited... even that news was a 'spill-over'.. some unconfirmed reports... the scene changes! That 'next to the next' fellow leaning over 2-3 shoulders, would not 're-frame' the question, plus , he would now multiply his 'anxiety' about his family that was 'supposed' to arrive by that-same-train! He does not wait to see, if this information (leak news) really was 'addressed to him'! (Please try to see this 'simplistic' or 'silly-looking' example in the back drop of the entire 'so called religion.... Hinduism' .. it does not even 'compel' a temple visit... it is a 'take-it-or-leave-it' basis! The choices of temples vary (no-two are 'very- alike!.. The deities are same, not the temples! The 'message' almost seems to 'mock-at-my' ... common-sense... almost ridicules with an unsaid punch-dialogue "Hey! You mango-man/aam-aadmi... here are ... so many deities... different 'kinds' of consecration for each of these deities... now, ... you spend a life-time, choosing the 'right one' suited for you! You wouldn't have even visited all the temples available (even, after the quite a few ones that got demolished/etc)... Nor can you 'finish' reading even the bulk of scriptures in one life time... Nor can you grasp the 'full-significance' of even a couple of lines of 'one of those declaratory' verses... Nor can you finish learning all those awkward postures in one life time (number of Yog-aasana are too many).. nor can you 'fully grasp' even one aasana in one life time (Shri BKS Iyengar would vouch this... and he is 'fairly' reliable person... he has nothing to gain 'now' by telling an 'untruth' about something he loves more than his own-life, Yog-aasnas!)... "
Then what is the whole point?
dunno!
