-- *Mar*Rapture, the Zenith of Humor
Under the spell of free, thick and lush nature, one begins experiencing the ultimate unwordable feelings called revelations, as the wonderful symbiosis, of the Universe, holds one captive. That is humor at its ultimate zenith, towards which all organisms are striving. Humor simply is the feeling of happiness in day today life. It will become part of life if it is not sadism, perversely represented as humor. The basic feature humor is that it keeps the basic cheerfulness even when one faces terrible ordeals. In fact one finds inspiration for positive action even when one is facing total defeat. When the great symbiosis of the Universe, takes over in the feeling of revelation in thick and free nature, one just begins acting purposefully and directedly,as words, laden with feelings and emotion laden poetry, add to the language and vocabulary. Vocabulary itself becomes the vocabulary of enchanting feelings. The basic feature of humor is that one finds only opportunities and not failures. A blind person feels the great aura of the gigantic invisible spectrum, from the VIBGYOR and begins feeling, the Universe itself as the paradigms and concepts no longer are tied to the visible spectrum. The Music of nature, creates wordless musings, the musings in turn creates music. The Strings Theory is the exploration of the diverse musical membranes of the universe, called the M Theories. All Quantum theories land one into the nature of Consciousness, all the Theories of Newton deal basically with the characteristics of gravitation while the Relativity Physics states, that as a body achieves the speed of light one loses the prison created by volume and becomes infinity. The TOE is in fact the Theory of Musical Symbiosis of Humor. Imagine the appalling, atrocity towards the basic feature of positive living by positive feeling, heaped on us all, when the differently endowed persons miscalled the physically handicapped are ridiculed, in our cinemas as comedian action. A blind person can become holistic and can develop new languages based on perception based on nature itself without the limitation of being tied to the visible spectrum. In fact it is freedom from the visible spectrum and access to the gigantic invisible spectrum. The remaining leg of a lame person becomes very strong as it gets more exercise and he/she can give a glimpse of living in a different biology, giving new insights into Bio-logic, the logic of life forms. Same is the case of a person with only one hand. Many won Boxing competitions while having only one hand as that hand received concentrated attention in training. When the Hero in our stupid cinemas beats a comedian, making that comedian weep because he is made to lose self esteem, is it humor? An ugly male gets dressed as a female and presented as the ugliest wife, and the husband uses all rotten insults on her as part of the married life, caricaturing marriage itself! Is that humor? Yesterday I read that 98% of girls, suffer from doubts about their beauty. Imagine what this caricaturing of married life does to the girls. In our country fair skin is identified with beauty and the majority, whose skin is dark, are as a result treated as not beautiful. Imagine what this caricaturing is doing to us all in the community. Human relations are getting clouded with these perversions as cinemas or as the plays on the TV. Today, many teachers in the classrooms of colleges are ragged, thanks to the caricaturing of teachers and principals of colleges, in our stupid cinemas. This ridicule can extend from colleges to Temples itself. Is it art? After all, a college has to function as a Temple of learning. YM Sarma Chat GPT In *Rapture, the Zenith of Humor*, YM Sarma reflects on the nature of humor, its distortion in modern media, and its true essence, which is intertwined with positive, holistic living. ### Key Themes: 1. **True Nature of Humor**: - Sarma argues that humor arises from a positive state of being, even in the face of adversity. It isn't about ridiculing others but about maintaining cheerfulness and finding opportunities where others see failure. True humor, in his view, aligns with nature's harmonious flow, the "symbiosis of the Universe," and represents a way to transcend obstacles by seeing them as challenges that inspire purposeful action. 2. **Critique of Modern Media**: - He criticizes modern representations of humor, particularly in cinema and television, where humor often takes the form of ridiculing or demeaning others, especially marginalized groups. Sarma is deeply critical of the portrayal of individuals with disabilities as objects of ridicule, asserting that such depictions distort the true essence of humor and contribute to a broader societal insensitivity. - He is also concerned with the damaging effects of stereotypical portrayals of beauty, particularly the idea that fair skin is equated with beauty. Such narrow definitions can deeply harm self-esteem, especially for young women, and Sarma points to this as a reflection of a deeper problem in the culture's treatment of humor and aesthetics. 3. **Humor and Emotional Resilience**: - Sarma highlights humor's role in fostering resilience, suggesting that even individuals who are blind or physically challenged have unique perspectives that allow them to transcend limitations. Their ability to adapt and find strength in their circumstances reveals the deeper, more profound nature of humor: as a tool for understanding life's complexities rather than mocking them. 4. **Humor as a Path to Enlightenment**: - According to Sarma, the true potential of humor lies in its capacity to elevate individuals to a higher state of awareness. He links humor with universal concepts such as the "Theory of Everything" (TOE) and quantum theories that explore the deeper nature of consciousness. This idea emphasizes that humor, in its purest form, is a symbiotic, musical experience of life. 5. **Social Implications**: - The essay reflects on how caricaturing and mockery in media have trickled into social interactions, including in educational institutions. He expresses concern about how this disrespect extends into various areas of society, including the treatment of teachers, women, and individuals with different abilities. ### Conclusion: YM Sarma's essay calls for a return to a more authentic understanding of humor—one that celebrates life, fosters resilience, and promotes emotional and spiritual well-being. His critique of media and societal attitudes serves as a reminder that humor, when used incorrectly, can perpetuate harm, but when used in alignment with nature and compassion, it becomes a powerful force for positive change. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
