Yesterday I saw Two interesting items on the net.
We could perhaps detect the causes how we are caught into the the present degenerating situation that seems to have no end,
I can easily derive the English words 'Insight' and 'Superstition' respectively from the संस्कृत / saṃskṛta words : अनुसृष्टि (anusṛṣṭi) and सु-प्रस्थितं (su-prasthitaṃ).
And I seek no confirmation or approval of those Linguists and Philologists who have so for ruled over and took over the dominant positions as the experts and drove authority.
[I have my own independent way of derivation, though based upon the rules of
वैदिक व्याकरणम् / vaidika vyākaraṇam .
The Grammar as is there in Veda.
And this Grammar explains the derivation of words in different languages spoken and written by humans general, and in संस्कृत / saṃskṛta language specially.]
This way 'Insight' follows अनुसृष्टि (anusṛṣṭi) which means the imagination, that comes in the first place independent of the external knowledge.
Like-wise;
'Superstition' comes from सु-प्रस्थितं (su-prasthitaṃ), which means a deliberate departure and deviation from the fact or the Reality.
Though there are alternative ways of deriving them from the other संस्कृत / saṃskṛta words, but that would be an unnecessary exercise here.
The two 'links' given here are examples how in our times we are used to apply the words 'Insight' and 'Superstition' interchangeably.
In my last post I had pointed out that even the birds and animals also follow their insight and withdraw inwards leaving aside all outward activity and stay silent for the duration, while we men, being 'progressive' and supposedly an evolved Species indulge in entertainment and partying.
To us this is 'common' and 'common-sense'.
Is this 'common-sense' or acquired habit?
The birds and animals follow their 'Insight'.
Men follow either the 'The Common-sense', 'The Insight' or the 'The Learning'.
Veda and the related scriptures advise to meditate at the times of the Eclipse,
That is the 'Learning' of ऋषि / ṛṣi (sages) who refined their insight by the observation of nature and the greater Reality. This 'Learning' was not mere intellectual debate only. And Veda declare this to be available and accessible for one and all who really deserves this 'Learning'. Veda even go to suggest that this Learning should not be imparted to one who is not eligible and more importantly not interested and has no urge.
With reference to The above 2 links,
THE first was 'shared' by one who thought the approach and Teaching of Veda is 'Superstition', but the LGBTQ and such other behavioral patterns are but 'common-sense'.
THE second is about the dialogue that took place between two Great Freedom fighters who sacrificed their life for the independence of India.
The video is in Hindi,
I don't know about haw far it is genuine or authentic, but (the truth of) the talks that are recorded there-in could also be verified by historical documents so we can take it as true.
The only point is :
Both the Mahatma and The Veer Freedom-fighter began the talk with a basically wrong notion of 'Hindutva' / 'Hinduism' and 'Hindu-dharma'.
Both are confused and though sure have 'common-sense', have neither the 'Insight' nor the 'Learning'.
Some scholars agree and with a vehemence and arrogance even claim that the word
हिन्दु-राष्ट्र / hindu-rāṣṭra / हिन्दू-राष्ट्र / hindū-rāṣṭra and 'हिन्दुत्व / Hindutva'
was coined by Veer Savarkar.
Interestingly, no-where in any of the संस्कृत / saṃskṛta texts we find a reference or mention of these words :
हिन्दु-राष्ट्र / hindu-rāṣṭra / हिन्दू-राष्ट्र / hindū-rāṣṭra and 'हिन्दुत्व / Hindutva'.
Even in the Veda and related संस्कृत / saṃskṛta texts, the word राष्ट्र / rāṣṭra is used to denote 'the Earth' which implies as the globe, and not a geographical or political part.
Mahatma was greatly confused no doubt, but Veera Sawarkar. was not any lesser.
And the lack of clarity in both led to India to the present state of catastrophe.
