APHORISMS OF LIFE 1

                                     LOVE

● Life is synonymous with love. Life and love are always compatible. Love is the precondition of life. There is love always. There is love as the life's essence. None can live without love.When people are deprived of legitimate love, they love the illegitimate. Deprivation of love for nobility generates love for in-nobility. Hence, there is love for virtues as well as for vices.

● There is hatred everywhere. There are conspirators around. Abettors of death are teeming. There is also love. And this love averts many deaths.

● Love is always purely human and is never selfless or divine.

● One who loves all must be personal to none or to them those who love all. 

● The stronger is your love, the weaker is your self.

● When you subject yourself to love, you submit yourself to anyone and anything that matters in gratification of that love.

● The love that is sublime is impervious to any outside impact, and eternal.

● None yet has measured the depth of love, for love has no fathom.

● While I am unable to give justice to my relationship with you, I have no right to disturb your relationship with others.

● Love for yourself is selfish. Love for others is sacrificial. Love for both is short-lived.

● Love is most precious between two unequals.

● In their continuity acceptance meets love and rejection hatred.

● Stupid lovers are always happier than smart lovers. 

● Love is the nectar of life only if you are eligible for love; if not, love is the most tormenting fatal poison of all.

● In some situations, it is very essential to keep your love hidden within you, especially when you are not eligible for love. But it warrants an extreme self control and a supreme intelligence as love is the only human emotion that sustains life through its nature of manifestation and if suppressed, it destroys the soul... Thus, one-sided love is fatal, either way. 

● The whole problem lies with the one who loses their lover. The loser of love must be ineligible for love.

● Tears flow when your loss of love poses a threat on your life; anger erupts when that loss dents your self ego. 

● The depths of love dug by parting do bring about an invaluable creation. And when parting becomes endless, love becomes immortal in an eternal art of creativity. 

● Love begins as the love for the parents from the cradle and ends as the love for the children in the palliative bed. This is the only True and Spiritual journey of love from birth to death. Other loves are just prurient, and materialistic, and some loves supplement to the main journey of love.

                                  EMOTION

● Optimism or pessimism is a development on the thing you have not seen. Thus the emotion is always fictitious.

                                   HATRED

● Hatred is healthy. It is a guard against mental death... Goodness lies not in speaking or acting against hatred, but against causes of hatred.

                            PORNOGRAPHY

● Pornography is the biggest societal crime. Porn traders are the dangerous criminals.

● Those who post intimate (PDA) selfies on social media carry the dominant traits of showing their nude body and acting in pornography.

                               CONFUSION

● Neo-cultural dynamics like LGBT+ revolution, feminism, etc. and  sustainability of old culture like male-chauvinism or caste system have held the present youths much in confusion and are leading them to anarchy.

                                GROUP-ISM

● Humans are gregarious. So, the whole human society is formed of groups. There are groups of different kinds, sizes and purposes or interests. In fact, these groups are essential for human survival and development as well as for the society. But when groups turn to group-ism, they become rogue groups thus paving the way for divisiveness, struggles, conflicts and ultimate collapse of the society.

                           ONE-WORLDISM

● "One world, one language, one religion" is the true paradise of the earth. The possible language of this paradise is English and its religion is the one into which all existing religions merge. Only true humans can explore this ultimate paradise, for the road to it cannot be constructed without human virtues and human values.

● Religions and languages are standing in the way of the world's becoming a family. The world will remain divided and self-destructive as long as multiple religions and languages are thriving side-by-side, and all peoples will be living with self-denial and penance - doubts inside and assertions outside.

                              SELFISHNESS

● Are you selfish? Are you worried about people's criticizing you for being selfish? Do not worry! Ignore them. You are right hundred per cent. Being selfish is natural. It is never wrong. In fact, everybody is selfish. Nobody can grow selfless. Selfishness is fundamental to one's individual as well as personal well being and the most essential quality, character and condition for your survival. 

                            PROMISCUITY

● Money presents you good for good women. It does so to you for bad women if you are womanizing... The 'moneyed liberals' are hardly known as sexual offenders except for some few seducers... Sexual promiscuity is always a thing of aristocratic morality...

                            COMPETITION

● Competition is the mother of all evils. It is anti-human. It is suicidal. And every pursuit of success through competition is an inspiration for discrimination, disintegration and disunity.

                               STIMULUS

● Many short-lived forgettable incidents cause many unforgettable tragic events by reacting, while many pleasant conditions are lost by not responding.

                         SOCIETY OR GOD?

● Which you think is the domain for your recognition ? Society or God ? If society, you confine yourself within this life which inspires for materialistic living. If God, your mind goes beyond this materialistic existence. You reside in a spiritual state by projecting yourself in the afterlife... Confusion comes when a person with a strong urge for material possession, success and self-fame thinks of rebirth, or a person who preaches God becomes possessive about the materialistic life. Accordingly, there are four categories of humans -- 1) Persons with purely spiritualistic beliefs and practices, 2) Persons with purely materialistic beliefs and practices, 3) Persons with materialistic beliefs but spiritualistic practices, and 4) Persons with spiritualistic beliefs but materialistic practices. Of all these categories, the last two categories peoples create all conflicts in the society and confuse the subsequent generations. The second category people are modern demons. And there are no category one people in the present society.

                          WRETCHEDNESS

● No rich person on the death bed can feel the softness of ICU cushion or no poor person the hardness of the coir mat. both skins become numb when old, and internal pains are the same for the both. Painkillers really cannot kill pain, for the immunity-less body cannot host any therapy.

                                EDUCATION

● The status of our money is determined by our attitude towards the incoming information. Our background knowledge, present interest, and understanding help process the information and store in the memory bin.

● The true and comprehensive goal of education is to understand the Creation and the evolutionary process of life on Earth as well as the process and progress of the human evolution and act accordingly to deliver the Ultimate Human Civilization which is the most advanced transformation the human species. 

                               CREATION 

● A perfect creation is based on a perfect knowledge. 

                           EMANCIPATION

● Emancipation of soul follows the renunciation of body.

                             PERCEPTION

● Experiencing is perceiving the real. The perception that you have through any other is just a hallucination. The perception that comes through introspection and intuition is the truth. And the habitual outer perception makes you a clown.

                            COMPARISON

● Compare yourself with your subordinates, you will be arrogant. Compare yourself with your peers, you will be happy. Compare yourself with your superiors, you will grow up.

                             PROHIBITION

● Prohibition is not possible as long as there is poverty and  poverty has happiness as its objective.

                                 SUICIDE

● The cause of suicide is more dreadful than death. 

● The purpose of suicide is not only death but also permanent departure from the attachment.

                                 MEMORY

● The status of our memory is determined by our attitude towards the incoming information. Our background knowledge, present interest and comprehension help process the information and store in the memory bin.

                            BEING A HUMAN

● Being a human is a risk forever taken. Staying human is ever-challenging... Arguably humans face the biggest threat of extinction among all organisms - much before the mass-extinction. Humans have got to learn and measure up their living every moment to protect themselves from premature death and decay. There lies responsibility on each. Each is to learn for survival... Problems crop up when you depend on another's labor, adjust yourself to another's privilege and yet you wish to be unique and undisputed...

                               LIFE SYSTEM

● Life is a process that runs through a system of living. Where the system of living gets corrupted, it disturbs the process of life. The socials, the un-socials and the non-socials. The system as well as the process is different from one to the other. Be a social when in a social system. Be a savage if in the wilderness. Between a human and an animal lies the choice of yours. You can be happy either way. But none can live half-human and half-animal. It is highly self-destructive. It is impossible to break through a system.

                           SOCIALISATION

● Socialisation is very important for an individual. It promotes individual health as well as mind both directly and indirectly. It helps in a number of ways to fulfil both remote and immediate individualistic needs apparent as well as subtle. Selfish orientation through socialisation is a natural trait. It is only through this gainful involvement that we enjoy ourselves and acknowledge our self-regards. However, with its potential advantages for the society, this social process should be renewed, redefined and modified according to social changes...

                                    WORK

● No work is impossible to avoid when avoiding it endangers your life or living.

● Idleness is a big curse on humanity. 

● Like a workful day brings a restful sleep at night, so a life full of work brings the soul a peaceful rest after death. 

                     MIND YOUR THINKING!

● Thinking yourself ordinary and others important will make you a servant. Thinking yourself important and others ordinary will make you a rascal. Thinking yourself ordinary and others ordinary will make you a clown. And thinking yourself important and others important will make you a gentleman. 

● No mind is more destructive than the one empty of reason.

                                      LIFE

● Life is the truth of nature. Living is the truth of survival. The natural truth must not be influenced by the survival truth.

● Nature has given each living thing an uninterrupted life span. It is the life itself which interrupts in its living.

● The more we discover our life, the more we get confused of living. 

● Life has all long been lost into the ignorance of living.

● Interest-less life is an anger-free life. 

● Whatever, you are always true to your own definition of life.

                                HUMANITY

● There is a fact behind one's becoming a criminal and a fact behind one's becoming a saint. Both facts are facts of humanity. 

● The problem of humanity : Vaguely, we are more a future than a past and realistically, we are more a past than a future.

● Everybody can find a wretched human inside a hard-core criminal. 

● Everybody would enjoy to live as an animal without social system. 

● Human life is now far from being definable, and is never worth-celebrating till we discover the secret of immortality. 

● Humanity is next to austerity. A good human is an austere human.

                                HAPPINESS

● None is the contributor of happiness to none. Anyone whose happiness is due to contribution by another is abortive. On the other hand, some people who are deprived of happiness create their own happiness and the rest deprived become pariah or succumb to depression. 

                         DEVELOPMENT

● A mighty tree from a small seed is as magical as man stepping on the moon.  One is natural, one is impoverishing.

                                   AGE

● At 40's, if you cannot understand your society, you are not stupid. The social system is faulty.

                                 GENDER

● No man is absolutely a man. No woman is absolutely a woman.

● Men, women, transmen, transwomen, homos, heteros, neutors and what not. All do have gender dysphoria.

                              DEMOCRACY

● Inside every democrat, there lives a fascist.

● Politics is the cause of democratic vices.

● I doubt if democracy can ever be successful with the private economy. 

● Democracy is yet to possess the Soul of "the government of the people, by the people, and for the people", and the void will continue to exist as long as the government is formed through the elections which are won by standing people against people and the winner people are favoured over the loser people...

● You are always against a majority if the majority is not behind you. 

● A Republic is never a true republic when a half of the voters refrain from voting. And of the other half, majority voters are either biased or forced to vote. On the other hand, the intellectuals remain 'silent', as the politicians make merry through this status quo. 

                                     GOD

● There are as many gods as there are human minds... Hinduism shows God can be invented numberlessly.

● Religions are assertive that God has created this universe but they are dumb about whither God is leading it.

● Let alone our belief if God exists or does not, all the religious scriptures that built upon God have made a platform of Truth, Nonviolence, Peace, Love, Righteousness, Tolerance, and Forgiveness for the human race to grow upon and hold the key to survival through pains, sufferings, wants, and deprivation...

                                  SUCCESS 

● Love, respect and honesty are the harbinger triad of success. 

● We celebrate success not because we have achieved it, but because our struggle has come to a fruitful end. And the harder is our struggle, the bigger is our celebration. 

● The secret of your individual success lies in nurturing your indivisible self.

● Your failure is due to your ignorance of the right definition of your action.

                                  DEATH

● A death shocks us more than a birth cheers us.

● Death is a reward for the poor and a punishment for the rich.

                                EMOTION 

● Anger is the assertion of rights; tears are the admission of helplessness. 

● Depression catches you between hope and hopelessness. It is akin to frustration. 

                             GENIUSES 

● All legends are extraterrestrial. 

                           PERFECTION 

● No one has yet died with perfection.

                         SUPERSTITION 

● Ignorance is the source of superstition and grows with the growth of complex social life.

                          RELATIONSHIP 

● No relationship outside blood has been successful without money. 

● Unlike a rich father, a poor father may not spend much on his children, but he can cry harder and is more prepared to die for them.

                                RESPECT 

● Respectful behavior of the respectable draws them more respect. 

● One insult brings you one hundred respects.

                                  MONEY 

● Money as the other form of barter does principally define social relationship. 

● For some, want of money stands between life and death; for some others, between life and immortality. 

● Money is the most dazzling guise to deceive and impress; best diluent of morality, culture and character; most fertile cause of the human conflicts and competitions; and most beguiling master to own millions of wilful slaves. 

                             MATERIALISM

● All sorrows sourced from material loss cannot be redressed by other than regain of the lost matters.

                              CONFIDENCE 

● When you lose confidence in yourself, you lose confidence in the universe. And everybody loses confidence in both at their death.

● Confidence is an obsessive faith in you to succeed. This faith does not notice failure.

● Confidence is riding on possibility in the garb of impossibility. It is like climbing up a steel ladder with a cardboard coating. 

                                PLEASURE

● Pleasure is mostly derived from fantasies as fiction affects the human mind more than fact.

                                  POETRY 

● Poetry is the soul manifest of the distressed.

                                  WOMAN  

● Only two persons listen to a woman: her husband and another woman. 

● Some beautiful women have no brain. Some brainy women have no beauty. Some women are both beautiful and brainy. But there are no women who have neither beauty nor brain. So, there are three categories of women. And along the path of evolution, all these women were interchangably different before their birth and will be interchangably different after their death.

                                      SEX

● Performing arts, visual arts, sports, and literature are the four human-made aphrodisiacs which act as the engine of our pursuit for sexual pleasure. 

                                HUMANITY 

● With the birth of every girl child or boy child, the Universe gives the Earth a Baby Creator to grow and re-create the Nature towards the Divine Purpose of a Perfect Humanity as well as a Perfect Earth where there will be no pains, no sufferings, no diseases, no death... And this is the Ordained Duty of every Creator Parents to nurture their Baby Creator for this Ultimate Purpose of the Creation. 

● Each human would become a Buddha if we realized what the Present Living is. And this Realization which is an Inevitability will create the One and Ultimate Religion, HUMANISM. There will be no more sufferings, decay, and death.
