SKR:OF LOOPS AND SYMBOLISMS #4: 1/08: updated on pg. 132 - Page 96

Highlight of today's episode was again Prakriti and Sanskriti. Kumbharan says Dharm is decided by a person's caste, place and time. It changes. Vibishan says Dharma is not something that changes with time. It is constant. It clearly showed the contrast of the brothers. Kumbhakaran who wants to follow the Sanskriti that ever changes according to your place, caste, religion and time. Vibishan talks about Prakriti whose laws are constant. The application of which is not considered based on the race, gender or place. But time, time matters to Prakriti too.

But how does Prakriti and Sanskriti differs in looking at time. Prakriti at any point is in present. It observes the present action. It allows you change your action at any point of time so that your results also changes. Prakriti doesn't question you, Prakriti doesn't shout at you. It observes, it directs.

Sanskriti it is either in past or looks into future. It doesn't look at present. Sanskriti doesn't allow you to come out of past karma. A criminal is a criminal. A widow is a bad omen. If you have a girl think about her marriage, dowry, so abort her in the womb. Arrey your daughter can also be a Sania Mirza or a Saina Nehwal. Just allow her to be born. If it is a son he should go to US. Arrey what if he wants to serve his motherland. It is always taking decisions before hand without understanding the repurcussions. Parents wanted kids to go to US. Pushed them, pulled them , made them ambitious to go abraod. They went and when the parents languish here alone complain kids are not looking. Who is to blame. The child or the parent who made the child materialistic. This is the way we make our choices with half knowledge and when it manifests sit and cry. Complain. So for Sanskriti complaints never ends. It is always about what I don't have. But Prakriti it is bountiful. It always has. If you stop complaining you will be able to see this constant law and bountiful Prakriti.

The way Kumbhkaran looked at Vibhishan and Angad is the way Sanskriti looks at people who follow Prakriti. Cheaters, back stabbers etc. Reason they are the ones because of which the existing bad sanskriti collapses. Sanskriti doesn't mind frighteneing people who want to follow Prakriti and utilize them. Like Shakuni uses Bhishma, Drona and Karna. But reverse not acceptable.

This has been our conflict also and this is why we should always ask guidance so that if we follow Prakriti Lord gives us protection from Sanskriti's assaults.

Ram said a beautiful post about choices. I will make a separate post on it.

I have watched skr after around a month

And I get to see one brilliant episode

Both kumbhakaran and vibhisan stole my heart

Both talked about dharma and karma

But one thing that went on the right beaf was

Dharma is what you wear ..internally and externally

You wear the things only when you know about them

The thing which makes you comfortable

that makes you what you are

A person who is taught to be on the other side will always find his side right

Contrary to This view is the view of vibhisan

This reminds me of my lesson when we were talking about india and Pakistan and one of us had asked why does Pakistan do it ?

To which mam said

Ask the people there

They will say why does india do this

Much of the fact is

Dharma and adharma exist together

Are situational

And need a balance to be maintained properly
