Shaw, the master Satirist !



Shaw was influenced by Annie Besant and Henri Bergson. Bergson postulated the theory of L'Evolution Creatrice or Creative Evolution.

Everything is done by Creative Evolution and its errors are called the Problem of Evil.

"Shaw's seriousness and mock humour run into an incredible, inextricable melange ", remarked Aurobindo.

One of his best quotations

" This earth of ours is a place where the Fool flourishes, where the good and the wise are hated and persecuted, where men and women torment each other in the name of love; where children are enslaved in the name of parental duty and education, where the weak in body are poisoned and mutilated in the name of medical healing & where the weak in character are imprisoned in the name of justice. It is clear to me that this earth is hell and as the Indian revealed to me, we are here to expiate for crimes committed by us in a former existence.

Bhartrihari, The Master Poet !

)

He was one of the greatest Sanskrit poets of all time. He was a philosopher-king turned renunciant ( (c. 450-510 CE?)

He dealt with Literature, Philosphy & the Arts.

Initially, it is Wealth that is recognised. Hence about Wealth he wrote

He who has wealth is deemed aristocratic
The scholar, the man who is indeed versatile
The philosopher, the leader and the guide
All qualities are based on Wealth !

A wealthy man without kids is not considered fortunate. Or Fortune is an invisible goddess which no wealth can court !

About Fortune he wrote

He who is fortunate is aristocratic
The scholar and the man versatile
The leader, guide and the tribal chief
For all qualities Fortune is the base !

Even then, it is not perfection. For we find that man's span is one hundred years, of which half is gone as night, half as boyhood and old age. The rest is accompanied by service, loss and pain.
Happiness, it seems, is elusive !

He wrote

One hundred years: one half is stillness of the night,
and half again is gone in boyhood or old age.
In what is left, accompanied by illness, loss and pain,
pleasure is a water bubble, passing breath.

In other words, in contrast to the lives of miserable men, the immortalised poets are the most famous and victorious !

Victorius are the masters, the rasa-siddha poets
Whose body of fame has no fear of age or death.

The true Yogi, the Seer, the Psychic, the Sage is the most fortunate. We find parallel lines in another philosopher, Sankara.

He who recites the sacred syllable Om
He who visualises himsef as the Self Absolute
He who is happy with the Bliss of the Self
Fortune belongs to him; to none else, to none else.

Matter supramentalised ?



" God descending into materiality is what we call humanity, with Matter as the lowest principle and Absolute Being as the highest " , wrote Aurobindo. He was also one of the greatest writers of all time. In his epic poem, " Savitri ", he depicts the victory of Immortality ( Self Actualisation) over mundane mortality

Everything is done by the divine Conscious Force

A luminous heart of the Unknown is She
A power of Silence in the depths of God
She is the Force, the inevitable word,
The magnet of our difficult ascent,
The Sun from whom we kindle all our suns,
The Light that leans to us from the Unrealised vasts,
The Joy that beckons us from the impossible " ( Savitri)

It is said that at the time of samadhi, his body became golden !

The Song of Myself by Walt Whitman




Walt Whitman was a transcendentalist. He eulogised the Self. " The Song of Myself " is one of his epic poems. He wondered at Space, Time and Death, the three modes thorough which the Universal expresses Itself

Swiftly I shrivel at the thought of God
At Nature and her marvels - Space, Time and Death !

Then I turn to Thee , O Actual Me,
Lo! Thou gently masterest the orbs
Thou smilest content with Death
And fillest swellest the vastnesses of Space !


From this verse, it is clear that Walt Whitman had philosophic knowledge as he understood the relationship of individual Self to the Supreme Self ! Thee is Actual Me !

This is reminiscent of the great Melpathur, who said

Yadhartha syath Thvat mayasyahi
Mama na vibho
Vasthavo bandha moksho 
Maya avidya thanubhyam
Tava hi virachitou
Swapan bodho va pau thau 


Actullay I am Thee
For me no binding, no liberation
As the body is bound 
By Nescience, by Ignorance
The Maya that binds
Soul to the body !

( Mahakavi Melpthur in Narayaneeyam or Ode to the Lord )

Article writing is the best vocation !




"Reading maketh a full man
Writing a precise man

And Conference a ready man !"

said Bacon.

Writing can make you precise.

The Internet, peopled by 1.4 billion, is a writer's paradise ! Writers should have blogs and sites and we averr that writing is one of the best professions !. We join the likes of Goethe, Aurobindo, Shakespeare, Kalidasa etc

I was thrilled when my first article was published by Carl Stillman of Access New Age, in 1999, when I started my first dotcom. I have been writing for 9 years now and I have written more than 200 articles, most of them displayed at my site, Eastrovedica, Article Wisdom & Article Gnosis. Article Wisdom has now more than 36 K articles and Article Gnosis in the infancy stage. Eastrovedica has more than 1500 articles.

The power of the pen is mightier than the power of the sword. With the pen you can get the message across to millions !

It is easy to become a writer, but difficult to make a living with it. That is true. But on the Net, you can get paid for writing. Your articles get you the necessary exposure.

All the articles that I wrote are free, but they got me international exposure. My articles allowed me to establish all the eight dotcoms.

The ancients were not wrong when they said that Writing can make one immortal and can survive the
Cosmological Cycles.
