NASTIK education


There are various incidents that are happening in life which are forcing me to think on it and when I do so I found that my thinking on any of such issues/incidents are overlapping as am not differentiating the positive and negative aspect of the same. Recently I saw the movie OMG(O My God) which depicts the reality of the spiritual care taker of god who are so called BABA’s in India who runs the business on the name of god and are diverting devotees and on other side they are also forcing the people to discontinue their faith on the god due to fraud BABA’s and this is not only the reason that  people are not having faith in god, I think that education is also playing an role in making people so called “NASTIK” (as in Hindi phrase).
Education is no doubt providing an individual to think intellectually but this intellectuality is sometimes getting on with the ego and resulting in over confidence. One of my friends shared his experience with me that was he once offered Prasad to one of his professor the professor replied that am not taking it as Prasad but I would take it as a kind of sweet. So this thinking of an highly educated person is somewhat an unfaith in religion which is all due to his high intellectual thinking which came from reading different work of various writers or philosophers. They are trying to imitate their identity to be individual who totally believes in practical and logical work. It’s totally correct that one must think practically on different things and situation and it’s for sure that by consuming any Prasad any one is not going to be benefited but you are a part of society and it is having an actor like religion which is having a great impact in societal life of individual so one must at least try to be inclusive by being the part of the system or belief that is prevailing from long.
So getting educated is not enough for an individual to be the part of the society. One must try to be inclusive in societal norms although its sometimes not making any difference on practical ground.

  1. @ankit it seems that you are trying to many thoughts within limited space. every societal norms, morals and even logic has its deep root in religion. Those who are claiming to value neutral in academics are pseudo intellectuals bcoz for me being neutral is value loaded judgement. overall nice thought creating space for more improvement in writing skills...keep posting, happy blogging :)
