In Bhagwad Geeta - Lord Krishna says, ‘Surrender all actions in ‘Me’...(because ‘I’ is supreme knowledge)…”! Perhaps realizing the ‘Truth’ of illusory world, an Urdu language poet said, “Butt humko khein kafir/ Allah ki marzi hai( Butt humko kahe Kaafir, as in, the feelingless souls, who are not more than a stone statue(butt), are saying me a traitor(kaafir). Let it be, I take this also as Gods wish ! (Allah ki marzi hai).)…, which is one of the lines of a popular song sung by a character named ‘Ghulam Ali’, a ‘Pakistani’ singer who is popular in Nepal and India’ also. For music was realized by ‘wiser ancients ’ as part of the Omnipresent and is, therefore, apparently is able to break all imaginary barriers created by ‘humans’ at any time. With the background knowledge that ‘temporary man’ was realized by ancients - both in the east and the west – as an image of God, the Omnipotent and Omnipresent, the poet in effect says that it is God’s will (or part of a grand design) that (due to lack of knowledge) an ‘image’ calls another ‘image’ as ‘image worshiper’! Perhaps the same can be seen applicable to temporary, or transient, or fictitious, characters themselves in the ‘present day’, in Kaliyugaya, call ‘Lord Rama’ as fictitious – perhaps because of apparent frustration, on account of inability to realize the ‘Truth’, or Earth, also as fictitious, a thing of the past of the immortal Formless Creator in Super energy form housed at its imaginary center! The progressive reduction in physical and mental efficiency in humans, with time, was understood to happen on account of inherent opposite characteristic properties of the components of human body, which is believably formed out of two components – the material exterior, and the spiritual that remains unseen within the form, imagined like the relation between a fruit’s pulp and its seed, naturally (like a model) embedded within it... The exterior material appears to deteriorate with time - to eventually exhibit in a symbolic manner as in ripening of a fruit that then naturally falls of the parent tree... In human form, this phenomenon believably gets reflected in ‘death’ of the concerned individual, indicating similar to maturity of the seed, baturity of soul, the indestructible component that is believed to be a tiny fraction of the supreme soul or god itself…ready for acquiring another body... Krishna, therefore, in the Gita, asks one not to feel sorry for it is the soul or the seed that is important, and not the body or the fruit! For, the goal of teh sol is to reach the supreme soul, tht is Pashupatinath or theLord of man, he head of the animal world.Perhaps we could also approach the ‘Truth’ from the ‘present day’ knowledge, or finding that ‘life on earth’ evolved in water near the sea-bed where required energy (‘fire’ in the words of ancients) from the core of earth released through fissures is available. And we find even today the ocean waters teeming with a variety of ‘aquatic life’. In so far as life on land is concerned man appears to be the most evolved among all life forms, (he is thus Pashupati, the caretaker of all animals, just as Krishna is believed as a cowboy, or/ rather a super cowboy and, therefore, symbolically Pashupatinath ’s representative, ‘Yogiraja’)… Now, although man’s ‘roots’ are in the sea-water, he cannot imagine even a few hours inside it, the saline water isn’t now potable for him and tears at his natural fiber, the skin. In (sea) water He is ‘like a fish out of water’! He can thus be imagined as reflecting the property of the fruit that although holds the seed(s) that can help in arithmetic, that is multiplication, but cannot directly get connected to his roots – he needs a medium. Hindus, that is, Indians correlated this phenomenon with functions of apparently separated Heavenly Bodies – Earth, provided environment for sustenance of life forms, whereas its absence in Moon, which thus was seen reflecting the ocean, and thus water was believably related with Moon! Camel is called the ship of the desert, and the Hindus believed the better half as the boat that acts as medium form crossng the earth, imagined as sea!Can we also take it as a hint from God when - apparently earlier existing variety of ‘natural’ life forms in abundance in a grand variety - birds are becoming extinct (maybe some samples preserved by God in certain pockets that are kept beyond humans), along with plant life, being replaced by (imperfect) man-made iron machines or robots that we very well know cannot perform multiple functions, as efficiently as the natural, or God-made, life forms did...bird flu and resultant culling of Cocks and hens, the species whose natural function it was to announce the appearance of Sun in the sky as a mark of start of yet another day…
