BHAGAVADGĪTA ... 1

The desireless man's action is inaction while the desirous man's inaction is action. 

The former in detached dissociation witnesses work being performed by Prakriti (Nature) using the agencies of the mind and the body which he does not identify with. The latter in idle inaction of the body but with mind dwelling on sense pleasures and pains which are the fruits of action, participates in mental action.

Likewise, the desireless man's inaction is action while the desirous man's action is inaction. 

The former in total withdrawal from the world of the senses lives purely in Self-consciousness whose field vibration at a detached distance produces the work of superconsciousness in the subtlest mode of Māyā. Hence his inaction is action. The latter in performing work erroneously understands himself to its doer which he is not as all work is performed by Prakriti (Nature) by means of unnumbered combinations of its gunas (modes). Hence, the ignorant person's claim to ownership of the work is rejected which makes his action nothing but inaction.

POESY : পাইনে তারে

পাইনে তারে 

●●●●●●●●●

সময় মত পাইনে তারে,

রয় সে গৃহের কোন বাহারে ?

সূর্য যখন অস্ত যাবে,

কেউ না মোরে কাছে পাবে,

ডাকবে তখন কোন পাহাড়ে ?

ধ্বনির পরে আসবে ধ্বনি, 

সময় যখন প্রহর গণি,

লবে মোরে আপন ক্রোড়ে,

আর কি পাবে বাহুডোরে,

ঢলবে যবে দিনমণি ?

এখন প্রহর অনেক আছে |

রও তো খানিক কাছে কাছে |

ক্ষণকালের নিবিড় পরশ

জাগায় প্রাণে সে কোন হরষ,

বিরহ যার ছোটে পাছে ?

BEWARE OF COMMUNISM, O BLOSSOMING YOUTH OF INDIA!

BEWARE OF COMMUNISM, O BLOSSOMING YOUTH OF INDIA! 

Communist politics is highly destructive and inhumanly violent. The history of communism the world over bears testimony to it which is why the common people in communist countries overthrew the system in 1989-90. They had suffered it and would not bear it anymore. Let the youth of India not romanticise communism, being misled by professors and intellectuals of dubious nationalistic feeling. They should not be trapped by communist philosophical tall talk and utopian aspired goals. The method of communism is barbaric violence and the ideology toxic. The youth should be wary of this alien system brewed in Germany and England, and further honed in Russia, Turkey, France, Norway, Mexico and China. It has annihilated hundreds of millions of people across the world. Worst of all, communism has no solution to economic problems and everywhere attempts to force results through ideological imposition, secret police surveillance followed by arrest, torture and death, and it poisons the mind of man through its toxic, slanted class vision that turns man against brother man. The only good thing it does is to highlight the exploitative evil of capitalism but it can offer no viable humane alternative economic system that can successfully replace capitalism. So, I reiterate, O youth of India, stay away from this vicious political ideology called communism.

ME AND MY IDENTITY TO BE SETTLED ONCE AND FOR ALL IN A VERY LONG ESSAY---SORRY IF I HAPPEN TO RUFFLE A FEW FEATHERS ALONG

ME AND MY IDENTITY TO BE SETTLED ONCE AND FOR ALL IN A VERY LONG ESSAY---SORRY IF I HAPPEN TO RUFFLE A FEW FEATHERS ALONG

I hate being falsely associated by hundreds and hundreds of people of inaccurate understanding that I am a member of Netaji's extended family simply because I am the namesake of a certain member of the said family. My profile self-description clearly states that I am unrelated to Netaji. My cover picture and my profile picture both announce in luminous terms that I bear a distinctly different visage to the said gentleman who has himself never mistaken me to be him. And gramercy so! This constant false association, often accusation that I am impersonating him, is an insult to my person, my parents, my family and my entire lineage to as far back as I am privy to. I consider myself blessed to have been born of my parents and of none else, that my siblings are not of any other family but mine and I in no way give in to this slavish mentality that we as a race so often exhibit in hyper-adulation of a particular individual and his family to the extent that all others become inconsequential, a la non-person as if in communist parlance. This is dynastic mentality, the inertial carry-over of the feudalism of yore which we have left behind at least Constitutionally but sadly are victim to it in the social scene. If the forest brute persists in us despite city-civilisation adorning our lives in a pervasive way, it is small wonder that adoration of Netaji should linger on as infatuation for his future extended family members who are in no way exceptional as to deserve this sort of adulation or superlative treatment at the expense of others.

A host of my Facebook friends had initially mistaken me to be this other gentleman on account of this peculiar disposition that seems characteristic of our race which is manifest in our general slipshodness that results in our failure to successfully compete at the highest level of international sports as also to win Nobel Prizes on a regular basis.

A curious thing that happened once was that one of Sarat Bose's grandsons in trying to clear confusion about my identity in one of these online stumbler's minds eminently said that I did not belong to the Bose family to which I in derisive delight asked the offending gentleman if I in his opinion then belonged to the Ghosh family 😃. For it seems in these people's minds one cannot be a Sugata Bose unless one happens to be the one who was born of Sisir Bose and Krishna Bose. That much for the titular (surname) tolerance of the followers of Netaji in regard to all such 'dare you be a Bose' such as me and, to top it all, with our historian's name. But what to do? Providence has cast me in this life in a Bose family by birth and thence unwittingly prompted my parents to preserve my identity by giving me the name Sugata. Now, would you dare question Providence or be so uncouth as to do so my parents for lavishing their love on their progeny thus?

EUROPE, SAVE THYSELF! INDIA, WAKE UP!

EUROPE, SAVE THYSELF! INDIA, WAKE UP!

The open border policy of the European Union is a disaster for Europe. You cannot be liberal with illiberals. Stop Islamic immigration if you wish to live. Otherwise, the sheer weight of Islamic numbers will crush you. This is modern-day Hijrat  going on with all its historical Islamic implications. Democratic Europe, beware! Demographic change will destroy you. Hindu India also, wake up! 

Proliferating Islam with its prospective imposition of the Sharia on today's Dar al-Harb to be conquered through conversion and procreation and transformed to Dar al-Islam is the biggest threat facing free humanity. If you do not protect your freedom through awakened action, you will live in Islamic chains tomorrow as infidels in Islamic nations are living today. 

Whither reason, whither science, whither justice, whither tolerance and universal acceptance in an exclusive theocratic Islamic state ruled by archaic law, outdated and outmoded in a modern world? It will be a return to the Dark Ages, this time not of Christianity but of Islam returning to roots.

BUILD THE NATION, DO NOT DESTROY IT

BUILD THE NATION, DO NOT DESTROY IT

Yes, I know. I also know that politicians do what they do---and often protesters too lie in hunger strike by way of pursuit of perfidious political agenda---to suit their personal political interest. So I am not moved into tears beholding their juicy juice-handing show of surface sympathy. After all politicians are politicians born to rule like rogues at any cost and protesters are protesters often, not always, pretending patriotism but delivering deeper directives from Deep States abroad in alliance with antinational agents galore within. The history of India is replete with such instances and they have helped enslave us for a millennium and their day is not yet done it seems. 'Svachchha Bhārat Abhiyān' ought to clean up such viruses within and render the polity pure so that patriotism true may endure. This is national security at stake with repeated drives partially paralysing the State for months and failing to deliver the coup d'état. But such failed forces of the past must not be underestimated as permanently failing for their fangs are full of poison deep and each time they dig deep into the polity their released toxins enter deep into the bloodstream of the nation's youth and alter their understanding of the nation's interests and imperatives till the critical mass be reached when the State may be overthrown by insurrection within. 

Beware, my revolutionary friends, our nation is being subjected to destabilising forces by foreign powers who would not tolerate a tenth of such trouble were the scales to be reversed by us against them. But we are a civilised race, fair and square in every sense, who do not venture beyond our borders to create chaos in other men's lands. But we have a right to defend ours and a responsibility holy to do so. Hence, desist from antinational activities and help build our much molested motherland for a millennium so that she may reach her pristine civilisational heights and surpass them in a manner that today, perhaps, no myopic man may envisage but which Swamiji in his seer's vision had beheld clear and announced it to us, legatees of our nation's past and builders of her future.
