One of the most beautiful aspect of Ram-Ravan face off yesterday was Ram highlighting about Brahma Gyaan. Yes Ravan is knowledgeable. He has the knowledge, vedas, sastras everything. But does he know Brahma, does he know Prakriti. Answer is no. Because if you know Brahma, if you know Prakriti its working you will never misuse your knowledge.
You will understand the knowledge you possess is just a drop of water in the vast ocean of Prakriti. Every moment you will bow in front of Prakriti to show you the way, open up paths for you. You will respect and worship nature as supreme. A miracle. A power that has the same rules for anything that survives on it. You will understand it is Karma Sakshi. It moves as per your karma and it gives you back as per your karma. No gender, religion, racism, country affects it.
If you have this knowledge you wont berate anyone. But on the other hand if you take the words in the books as it is without understanding the inner meanings, symbolisms in it you will end up having ego. You will end up having superiority complex and then you will base rules to prove you are right. Theortical knowledge is the bane of modern society. Terrorism has its roots in theoretical knowledge. Without understanding dharma, you wage a war on dharma. Look at the rule Ram says a dharma yudh doesnt happen after sun set. But are the terrorists in the name of some dharma yudh doing any dharma yudh.
Patriarichy has its roots in theortical knowledge. Highlighting only the funeral part which a son has to perform. Not highlighting the punya or moksha a father gets when he does Kanyadan of a girl as per her wish to an eligible groom. Our vedas talk about fertility rituals that are mostly done by woman. Woman stand for life , that is why she is given more importance in functions such as marriage and childbirth. A man stands for death that is why he is given importance for funeral rituals and rituals related to death.
By ignoring woman our society has ignored life and everyday facing death. Death comes to them in various forms now. Because without woman there is no life. Without Prakriti there is no life. And Prakriti was called Shakthi or Adiparashakthi by our ancestors.
Brahma gyan makes you understand this Prakriti and co exist with her. Theortical knowledge you make Prakriti the destructive force which takes you down as well as your race.
Respect knowledge. Be humble before it. At any point you only hold a drop of it.
