Leading into the absolute reality of Self


-Kanak Kaushik

There is an utmost requirement of self-awakening torevitalize the world full of crisis. To reshape the world we need to create a seed of thought provoking trend of self.It says…
 Leave the thought for a while and let yourself drawn into this force....
Come into the existence of your own …
Let us grow with in the spheres of mutual understanding and remember that here personal growth must be lying within the realm of conscience…
Let us make this world a better habitat…

With this understanding I have gone through the next chapters of Mahatma’s own written book “Hind Swaraj”.I have realized that here the percepts focusses on the growth of self within the encapsulated brackets of preparednessbut it also leaves everything on the reality of supreme human existence.

While defining Swaraj, Mahatma said that it is when we learn to rule ourselves and thus it is in the palm of our hands. Here he also pointed that we measure the universe by our own miserable foot rule .When we are slaves, we think that the whole universe is enslaved. As the removal of the cause of a disease results in the removal of the disease itself. Similarly, if the cause of India’s slavery be removed, India can become free.So it lies within us to bring about such a state of things.Also, if we keep our own house in order ,only those who are fit to live in it will remain. He pointed that when it becomes English, it will be called not Hindustan but Englistan and this is not the Swaraj that he want.
Further pointed that a slave cannot even dream of Happiness and we are day by day becoming weakened owing to the presence of the English. He said that our people look like terrified men. He urged that we have to remember that all countries are not similarly conditioned. The condition of India is unique and its strength is immeasurable .So we do not need to refer to the history of other countries and marked that when other civilizations have succumbed,the Indians have survived many a shock.
So through this Mahatma wanted to tell that to achieve Independence, the prerequisite must be to remove the slavery from mind.

If we talk about the present era of Globalization, it started with the mere concept of exchange of ideas, commodities and ultimately modifications for the betterment. But if we see the effects, the present generation have been accustomed with factors such as outsourcing in employment, increasing demands and dependency of products from west, importing fragile western culture and especially an ignorance to own scientific Indian culture,etc. This might have helped in increasing the economic growth but we have paralyzed our Indian Ethos by conditioning ourselves, to actually mute our own manifestations and to just respond to the stimuli with similar learnt actions.

As the delving capability of a man makes him the most scrupulous social animal, it is side by side urging it to adept the utmost reality of self ….preparing a brick for memoirs of own.




Real home-rule is self-rule or self-control
