Rationality, Nationality, God and Earthians

The thought of Rationality, Nationality, God and Earthian have vast horizon to decipher. I am bounding my region of the connotations with specific boundary as : Rationality - The quality or state of being agreeable to a reason, Nationality - A statutory bind of a person (including ethnic group) with a state, giving jurisdiction and protection with specific rights and duties, God - A being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe endowed with quality to supersede everything else, Earthian - Species of or from planet earth.
That what is observed is a need of a rationality of ideas and dogmas by the earthians for the existence of god, not bounded by nationality. What is seen is, that there is often very contradiction of the beliefs this rational process which signifies existence. Reason and reasoning often are at loggerheads to one another and the earthians commit and suffer the bulldoze of narrow belief. The concept of faith in certain belief contradicts the consensus on the logical derivatives of co-existence. Existence with dignity is what the human species endeavour. The fact of the foggy delineated de-juro and de-facto views of the way of life, the boundaries segregating nations and of religion and gods, often challenge the very existence of the human beings. The realm of pragmatic view often finding itself groping for the speck of illumination in the dark alley of fanaticism of skewed views of the few. The one is whole and whole is one (quite scientifically demonstrated) often finds in the quagmire of irrationality. Everyone have a right of survival with their own belief and habits simultaneously upholding others opinion and way of life.  God & Nationality was needed to be brought in as a tool, perhaps for morality and social general governance. The rationality of the earthians lies in the ability to integrate god and nationality in a holistic way for a quality sustenance of earthians. The blinds needs to remove with their blindfold with the rationality, for the illumination to come into the minds, to see the pristine beauty of human co-existence with consensus, upholding the values.

Quantam shift of portrayal, Gaint stride in Thought

During the recent Durga Puja/Nav Ratri festivals, I had the opportunity to follow/see the idols of Durga Devi/Shakti/Ambe Mata and the plethora of relevant names of the depicted Female form of Strength and Courage celebrated pan-India, where the Devi vanquish the Asura. It was a feast for sight to see horde of people thronging to various makeshift Pandals (temporary place of placing the idol for worship) or Temples (permanent shrines), where the occasion of Puja was going on. The gaiety was contagious, where the deity armed with her weaponry was annihilating the Evil Asura (Mahis-asura), mostly with her trident (the trinity supreme power of Bhrama, Vishnu and Shiva). Perhaps the translation of the image can be simplified into plain everyday thinking, where in Hindu world, Woman is equal to Nature and Man to Culture. A message where it states that Nature need to regulate Culture. The idea for portraying the idol in a stance waging a fight, is perhaps to depict the Womanhood as equally, or more powerful, in the cycle of life, a ramification planned for posterity. Among all these stereo typical portrayal of the Idol bedecked with weapons and dressings, with the same stance of waging war and the Asura mortally wounded, I noticed an idol at a place called Ruabandha in Bhilai at Chattisgarh (India) where the idol was not at war ! Yes, not at war. The Asura was not lacerated, but the Asura was handing over the weapon with a kneel submission and the Idol of Shakti was Blessing. What a change in the thought ! Is it the quantum leap of thinking that we all are pursuing for humanness... The Purusha (Male) and Prakrti (Female) as an entity being one without the war...This thought of co-existence of surrendering, blessings and understanding with dignity to all is the essence of Life. This, me thinks, is what our society must emulate in vision, action and spirit. Let there be such prudent change spew into the fabric of our thinking for rejoicing the beauty of being human species.
