00:02Escapism in Indian life
00:05Escapism means turning away from the world and leaving oneself behind because of fear, anxiety, or boredom.
00:13Getting lost in a dream world or trying to get lost
00:16No one wants to be sad
00:20Everyone runs away from sadness
00:24But because the perspective of each person is different, what is painful for one person may be painful for another.
00:31It is not necessarily painful for
00:35Secondly, the tolerance that one person has, it is not necessary that another person also has the same ability to run away from financial problems.
00:43The directions vary
00:45Then the circumstances of the person running away also affect his journey.
00:51Escapism has existed in a highly respected form in the Indian way of life in the form of Advaita, Vedanta, Bhakti, Mukti etc.
01:01The complexity of life during the Vedic period was relatively less.
01:09Yet intoxicating drugs like Somaras, which took them away from the reality of life, were not acceptable to the Aryans of that time.
01:17They had become so ingrained in the lives of the people that they were even used in rituals, havans, etc.
01:24Not only this, due to his intoxication, Som had also assumed the status of a god.
01:31Somadhya also started to happen to please the Soma plant.
01:36The roots of God have gone deep in this country.
01:41The idea of God is a form of escapism, because the feeling behind it is fear.
01:50Bertrand Russell's words about religion in his famous book Why I am Not a Christian
01:56They also come true literally in the imagination of God.
02:02He wrote, "I believe that the first and foremost basis of religion is fear, some of which is fear of the unknown."
02:10It works and some feeling that we should have a helper like an elder brother who helps us in every problem.
02:17Help us
02:18The basis of the entire world is fear. Spending time in remembering the name of God and experiencing the world in imagining Him.
02:29Denial of this is the real psychological basis of religion and the doctrine of God.
02:35Karmavada of the Gita
02:38The word karma is mentioned repeatedly in the Gita.
02:42When a sermon is given to inspire someone towards life, the Gita is often quoted.
02:48Is
02:50But the so-called karma of the Gita ends with putting the responsibility of celibacy and duty on God.
02:58The clear statement of the Gita is that the Brahma form of oblation is offered by Brahma for Brahma in the fire of Brahma.
03:06and it reaches Brahma
03:08Geeta 4 by 24
03:11The meaning is that there is Brahma in all beings who does everything.
03:18The soul is Kutastha, that is, it sits on the shore and watches.
03:23He has no connection with the world or his activities.
03:28That is why we are asked to remain detached from the world.
03:33Padmapatra Mivambhasa means like the lotus leaf remains untouched in water.
03:40Do some work and start singing the song of your detachment, put all the work on Brahma's head.
03:47It is clear from this that the philosophy of the Gita is to shift the responsibility onto others.
03:53Now take devotion.
03:56Getting lost in the imaginary form of some goddess Parvati, Durga, Sita, Radha etc. or some divinely beautiful Purushrama, Krishna, Vishnu etc.
04:05To forget oneself in the alluring form of the Supreme Being is devotion.
04:10This loss is like running away from the world, turning away from reality.
04:16Yoga of Patanjali
04:18Patanjali's yoga, called Rajyayoga, is an attempt to deny the worldly realization.
04:25What is the rule of Pranayama and Samadhi?
04:29Oblivion of the world through internal devices
04:32Yogis used meditation to escape from the world and go to the mountains to forget worldly feelings.
04:42The ideal state of Nyaya Darshan is that a human being should be inactive in all respects.
04:48Sankhya philosophy says that the soul is the non-doer, the witness and the unchangeable.
04:55The world and all its activities are the play of the dancer called nature.
05:01When Prakriti realizes that she has been seen by the male spirit, she moves away from the man.
05:08removes its cloak forever
05:12The point is that whatever we do, we do not do it, but nature does it.
05:19there is meaninglessness
05:21This is a clear message to escape from the world and to shift one's responsibilities onto others.
05:28Main philosophy of India
05:30The main philosophy of India is Agvaita Vedanta.
05:35Many of its virtues have been and are being sung.
05:41Its aim is the same as that of other Indian philosophies.
05:47This philosophy strengthens the feeling of irresponsibility and drives man mad.
05:52Which is called Jivanmukta in the classical definition
05:56The main principles of this philosophy are Jagan Mithya, Brahma Satyam, meaning this world is false and Brahma is the truth.
06:06This visible world is an illusion of the mind.
06:10Like a person mistakenly considering oysters and clams as silver.
06:15Similarly, this visible world is perceived due to intellectual illusion.
06:21tatvamasi
06:23Chando Gyop Nishad
06:25That is, whatever you are, in reality it is nothing, in reality you are Tat Brahma, the world is there.
06:31No
06:32We are not ourselves, but an imaginary entity called Brahma.
06:38Tantric Vamargi, Siddha etc. used to abandon the worldly pleasures and run away from the world in the pursuit of beautiful women.
06:46Buddhism was obviously escapist.
06:51Frightened by the world's peculiarities, did Gautam not flee to the forests?
06:56Their religion, their teachings also want to turn away from the world. Give up the desire.
07:01Even Rishimuni, who is revered by millions of people here, has fled from active life and taken refuge in the forests and mountains.
07:09used to be messing around
07:11Ramdhari Singh Dinkar has rightly written in the fourth chapter of his book Sanskriti
07:16Nirvitti and depression were present in the eternal tradition of India.
07:21After the arrival of the Aryans, a strong wave of enthusiasm definitely arose here.
07:27But the strength of Vedic optimism and enthusiasm could not last long.
07:32Those who used to sing songs of joy themselves started singing songs of depression.
07:39Prishtha forty-two
07:41Thus we see that Indian life has traditionally been escapist.
07:49escapism
07:50Escapism, as the word itself suggests
07:54to run away from the realities of life and take shelter under a roof made of something so silken
08:01that makes dreams come true
08:05Everyone runs away from trouble
08:07But when one encounters it somehow or other
08:11So he takes a different approach.
08:15Reactions vary because not everyone has the same tolerance.
08:21Apart from this, if something causes trouble to someone
08:26So it is not necessary that others should also be troubled by him. Environment is a factor in determining a person's attitude.
08:32also has a great impact on
08:36This is why everyone wants to choose the escape route that best suits their needs.
08:45The Indian mind has always been influenced by various philosophical systems such as Advaita Vedanta, Bhakti and Moksha.
08:54Life in the Vedic period was relatively simple and intoxicants like P Somarasa were a part of Indian life.
09:02The specific location was
09:03It was used so extensively in all kinds of ceremonies and rituals that it became known for its immense enjoyment.
09:12Because Somarasa had attained the status of a deity and to obtain its blessings, the ritual of Somadhya was performed.
09:19was done
09:21The doctrine of the existence of God is deeply rooted in the Indian mind and this doctrine is based on escapism.
09:29Is
09:31Its root is the fear that is deeply rooted.
09:36Russell fully supported theism in his book Why I Am Not a Christian.
09:43fear of the unknown
09:44The driving force is the fear of the unknown and the person also gets satisfaction from the thought that he is protected from adversity.
09:52There is always a supreme protective power for
09:57Chanting the name of God to pass the time and denying the existence of the world around you is like this.
10:05psychological support for the ideology
10:08The word karma is mentioned repeatedly in the Gita
10:14Whenever someone needs to be inspired to lead a life of action
10:20Its verses are often quoted
10:25But the so-called action of the Gita is also for attaining Brahman or merging into God.
10:32In short it can be said that Brahma is present in all individuals who manifest themselves as karma.
10:39reveals in
10:40And like a quiet, distant spectator, he stands on the shore and watches everything.
10:48He is indifferent to the world or its affairs.
10:53This is why detachment from the world has been preached.
10:58In a simile, the ideal person has been compared to a lotus which grows in the mud.
11:05also stays away from him
11:08In other words, we are asked to perform our actions and leave the results to Brahma.
11:15Clearly, the essence of the Gita is that action done in this manner does not bind the doer.
11:21Now we must consider devotion.
11:26A magnificent world of Durga, Sita, Radha and other such attractive goddesses, Athara, Krishna, Vishnu and so on
11:35There is a colorful view of the other gods of
11:39Get lost in their charm and forget the world around you.
11:57Patanjali's Yoga or Rajyayoga is also an attempt to deny the realities of the world.
12:25Running away from the world: According to Sankhya Shastra, the soul is merely an unchanging observer and is devoid of action.
12:55Whatever we do is not done by ourselves, it is done by the Supreme Omnipresent Power.
13:02We remain carefree. Clearly this is running away from the world and putting the responsibility on others.
13:11The most important philosophy of India is Advaita.
13:15It has been praised till date and still is.
13:21It is not different from other ideals in any way.
13:25This creates a feeling of dependence on others and the person becomes indifferent, which is called liberation in Vedic language.
13:33goes.
13:35Its main principle is that the world is false, Brahma is the truth.
13:40The world we see is our illusion.
13:45We are not merely mirage in the desert
13:50seem to be
13:52In reality, we are Brahma, the ultimate truth.
13:57There is no truth in this world and we are just a part of the illusion.
14:04Tantrikas, Vamargis, Siddhas and others also turned their backs on the world and engulfed everything in divine smoke.
14:12forgot
14:39Buddhism
14:42that nirvitti and depression were present in the eternal tradition of India
14:48After the arrival of the Aryans, a strong wave of enthusiasm certainly arose here, but the strength of Vedic optimism and enthusiasm was everlasting.
14:57could not be
14:59Those who used to sing songs of enthusiasm themselves started singing songs of depression.
15:05Chapter Four, Page Forty-Two of Sanskriti makes it clear that Indian life has been escapist since ancient times.
