YET AGAIN A SUPERCILIOUS COMMENT MADE ON MY POST OUT OF MISAPPREHENSION OF ITS IMPORT TO WHICH MY RESPONSE IS :

The whole material universe of desires and delusive dreams is the vast body of superstition. As is ever the case, you, like most others, failed to get the drift of the post and jumped to hazardous, hasty conclusion about its import.

Feel like drowning my writing in Neptunian waters and shaking myself free of the fetters of these hyper-wise, supercilious comments. May Adi Shankaracharya bless these already blessed ones with one more bout of his grace to bring a semblance of sanity to their conceptions and utterances thereof !

Provided below is the entire conversation of the post which has prompted the above response :

Sugata Bose : If you want to be spiritual, shed every superstition, each and every, to which you fondly cling. This is called true renunciation.

গোবিন্দ সেবক দাস : Renunciation doesn't mean that.. It's the shedding of materialistic desires and sensual pleasures that is meant by Renunciation.. As preached by our ancient sages in Upanisads.

Sugata Bose : গোবিন্দ সেবক দাস, the whole material universe of desires and delusive dreams is the vast body of superstition. As is ever the case, you, like most others, failed to get the drift of the post and jumped to hazardous, hasty conclusion about its import. Feel like drowning my writing in Neptunian waters and shaking myself free of the fetters of these hyper-wise, supercilious comments.

গোবিন্দ সেবক দাস : Sugata Bose I am sorry to say that you are living in a fool's Paradise.. Come out of this... Read authentic scriptures and commentaries by renounced sages.. Above all try to be soul conscious and then realise the presence of supreme soul within you.. But I fear you are miles apart from this procedure of God consciousness... You live in a world of your own.. Where you give no importance to what others opine about the concept of God Consciousness... Anyway have a good time.

Nilanjana Chakraborty : গোবিন্দ সেবক দাস, are you that sure about his understanding of god within and without? Then Swami Vivekananda was wrong ? Sri Ramkrishna was too? Please explain.

গোবিন্দ সেবক দাস : Nilanjana Chakraborty, I have not said a word against Swami Vivekananda and Thakur Sri Ram Krishna Dev.. I have highest regards for them.. I have not said anything against the way of understanding God by Mr.. Bose also.. I just wanted to say that Renunciation doesn't mean coming out of so called superstitions only.. Renunciation in its truest sense means purification of the mind and senses by giving up all desires of materialistic objects and sensual pleasures.. It's not connected with superstitions.. Then I just said how it's important to be God conscious by becoming first soul conscious.. This God consciousness will lead us to God Realisation .. That's all I said.. It's just crystal clear.. No hypocrisy in it..

Sugata Bose : গোবিন্দ সেবক দাস, a fool recognises another one and I am happy to have found company in you. As regards the usage of the term 'superstition', it seems you are innocent of the nuances of the English language. Hence, your misapprehension of its widest scope of usage. You have a narrow understanding of the term, hence your predicament. Anyhow, as for your formation of opinion of others, it is in line with the current trends of common corruption where men jump to conclusions about issues and personalities at the drop of a hat. It is common knowledge that renunciation consists in complete self-abnegation brought about in the bound soul by its abstinence from carnal connection and material contamination of all sorts till the embodied soul so refines that in the dropping off of its material cover, the Self reveals in all its majesty. I am happy to know that you understand this basic concept of renunciation. But my linguistic horror ensues from the fact that men like you can be so utterly innocent of the usages and nuances of a language, no doubt alien to you, but that they can also be so intellectually impoverished as to refuse to comprehend the widest meaning of a term even when explained. This, of course, stems from the fundamental conservative feature of the human brain which does not allow for added information and adjustment thereof within it easily and induces men to let their thoughts run along the same old rut as they are organically predisposed to. I would, therefore, exhort you to minimise your preconceptions and maximise your capacity for further learning before hazarding corrosive comments about others. May Sri Ramakrishna keep you in good humour and health !
