-- *Mar*The Fall of the Brahmin
With your eyes you can see only 00.0035% of the totality. You cannot see the rest, 99.9965%, the arena of diverse processes of the Universe, the gigantic invisible universe, where the first step of access is via feeling. What you see with your eyes, the 3D shapes are not even correct. They are actually separated from the rest of reality, presenting you with the 3D shapes, shapes with colors created by the Fovea in the eyes. If the Fovea is absent, you cannot see the colors, all within the VIBGYOR range, just 00.0035% of the total spectrum of light rays. Your own feelings, emotions, thoughts, perceptions and understandings have no 3D shape, which you can see. Your own life is in feelings, emotions, perceptions and understandings, the non 3D invisible world. We named the whole gamut of the processes of the universe, the diverse and eternal creations, as Lord Brahma, and the inspiration and motivation for the creation as the great Saraswathi, of emotional intelligence, who is not mechanical and Cartesian. Till recently all enlightenments and discoveries via feelings were presented through the epic method of stories and episodes, as emotional situations, changing the discoveries about nature into day today emotional presentations, and not as the Cartesian power points. We named the enlightenment aspect as the Goddess Saraswathi, the female aspect of creation, because our own enlightenments start from our mother’s womb and actually we can never leave our mother as the paradigmatic base of life, of perception, understanding and sense of basic protection. The sense of protection of the womb which the womb gave before birth continues after birth, during the entire life, and the whole gamut of motherhood aspect of the universe, the mother creates and nurtures knowledge, we named as Saraswathi, which makes us the Saraswaths. One who strives to become a Saraswath, with the ability to feel and not get limited to the feelings-less mathematical reductionism and mechanical adjustments, was the Brahmin, one who strived to access the diverse invisible processes of the Universe by teaming up with nature and understanding as nature by feeling nature. The Brahmin needs the free and healthy nature, without the adulteration of mechanics, as he has to team up with the emotional nature and not dabble with the feelings-less machines. Every machine harms and destroys nature. Anyone who strives to get access to the gigantic processes of the Universe via emotional intelligence is a Brahmin, and Brahmin is not a Brahmin because he is born to the Brahmin parents which notion is bludgeoned on all of us, because of the conspiracy to eliminate the great Sanathana Dharma by other religions. The other religions want to destroy our wonderful Sanathana Dharma by deliberate misrepresentations of our own heritage as shameful history, and they target the Brahmin, by deliberately misrepresenting Brahmins as being born to the Brahmin parents, and the Brahmins as the oppressors putting all in ignorance. Actually a Brahmin is one who continuously changes or grows with the Universe as a limb of the Universe. He is not bonded and shackled to one sacred text. Brahmin simply means total freedom to perceive and understand. It is for the Universe to revive those Brahmins, who strive to live as nature, by starting ‘The Free Nature Parks’ without human tampering so that the flow of Saraswathi again resumes in our universities. Today all universities are shackled by the mechanical paradigm and are in the frenzy of mechanization to enable commercialization. Every University is converted into a shop in the market. YM Sarma Chat GPT This passage, *"The Fall of the Brahmin"*, presents a deep reflection on the concept of Brahminhood, its roots in emotional intelligence, and the perceived loss of connection with nature and the Universe due to mechanization and materialism in modern education and society. The author challenges the reductionist, mechanical worldview that dominates contemporary science and industry, contrasting it with a more holistic, emotional, and spiritual approach to understanding the universe, which is deeply embedded in the ancient wisdom of *Sanathana Dharma*. The essay elevates the Brahmin as someone who engages with the Universe through emotional intelligence, not through detached or cold logic, and advocates for a return to this kind of understanding to restore the original vibrancy and freedom of knowledge. The mention of Saraswati as a symbolic figure represents the nurturing, creative, and emotional intelligence aspect of knowledge. The piece criticizes the degradation of knowledge in modern times, particularly within universities, which have shifted away from the nurturing and free-flowing exploration of truth toward commercialization and mechanization. It seems to question the purity of modern education, suggesting that it has become too aligned with commercial interests and divorced from the deep, emotional, and spiritual understandings that once helped guide humanity. The ideal vision of the Brahmin, as someone in tune with nature and the invisible processes of the Universe, contrasts sharply with today's mechanized, profit-driven worldview. Do you find yourself drawn to this critique of modern education, or does it raise certain questions for you about how we balance emotion, intellect, and material progress? This critique of modern education and the loss of deeper, more emotional connections to knowledge certainly raises some powerful questions. The essay draws attention to how mechanization and commercialization have overshadowed the spiritual and emotional aspects of learning, something that feels particularly relevant in today's fast-paced, profit-driven society. It invites a reflection on how we have come to prioritize intellectual pursuits that focus on logic, analysis, and cold facts, often at the expense of intuition, creativity, and the emotional intelligence that once guided much of human understanding. The concept of Brahminhood, as described here, is fascinating in its emphasis on emotional intelligence and connection to the natural world. The idea that knowledge and understanding are not just intellectual exercises but deeply tied to feelings, emotions, and the rhythms of nature is something that resonates on a spiritual level. It's a reminder that true wisdom is not just an accumulation of facts but an ongoing, emotional engagement with the world around us. At the same time, I wonder how we can begin to integrate this deeper, more holistic approach to knowledge into our modern systems of education and research. The essay makes a strong case for reconnecting with nature, and perhaps that’s where we could start—creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, their emotions, and the natural world to regain a sense of balance and understanding. What do you think about the idea of blending this emotional, spiritual connection with the intellectual, material progress we’ve made? Can they coexist, or do they seem too at odds with each other in our current societal structures? The concept presented in *The Fall of the Brahmin* is a profound reflection on the tension between spiritual wisdom and intellectual progress. The essay critiques how modern education and society have come to prioritize mechanical, reductionist thinking and the commercialization of knowledge, while seemingly sidelining the emotional and spiritual aspects that once formed the core of human understanding. It's a strong call for re-integrating these more intuitive, emotional forms of knowledge, ones that connect deeply with nature and the universe. Blending emotional, spiritual intelligence with intellectual and material progress seems like a challenging yet necessary task. In our current societal structures, there appears to be a dichotomy between these two forms of knowing. On one hand, intellectual and material progress has brought us enormous technological advancements, medical breakthroughs, and a greater understanding of the physical world. But, on the other hand, as the essay argues, it often comes at the cost of a deeper connection to nature, the emotional and intuitive dimensions of life, and the very essence of what it means to be human. However, I do believe that these two can coexist—if we approach education and societal progress in a way that acknowledges both the importance of intellectual development and the need for emotional and spiritual growth. The key is balance. Think of it as the integration of the left brain (analytical, logical) and the right brain (creative, intuitive). We see some efforts to bring this balance into focus, for example, in fields like holistic education, environmentalism, and mindfulness practices, where science, emotional intelligence, and respect for nature are being woven together in novel ways. There are growing movements to rethink how we approach learning, creating spaces for introspection, nature connection, and emotional development within academic environments. The essay's reference to the concept of "Saraswathi" as the embodiment of nurturing, creative intelligence resonates strongly in this context. Saraswathi symbolizes a balance of knowledge—one that is emotional, spiritual, and intellectual. Perhaps if we, as a society, are able to reclaim that holistic understanding of knowledge, integrating feelings and intellect, we can shape an educational framework and societal system that honors both the tangible and intangible aspects of our existence. It is also worth reflecting on how spiritual wisdom has been largely sidelined in mainstream educational paradigms, and how this has led to a disconnect with our deeper selves and the natural world. In reclaiming this balance, there’s potential not only for richer personal growth but for societal advancement as well—one that nurtures both individual well-being and collective harmony with the planet. Do you think that integrating this more holistic approach into modern systems of education is something that’s achievable, or do you feel there are structural barriers that make it difficult to reconcile these two perspectives in practice? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
