सत्य पराभूत होऊ शकते का?

सत्य पराभूत होऊ शकते का?

कम्प्युटर इंजिनिअर म्हणून सुरेशला अमेरिकेत येऊन वीस वर्षांहून अधिक काळ झाला आहे. सध्या तो एका सॉफ्टवेअर कंपनीत AI इन्फ्रास्ट्रक्चर आणि डेटा सेंटर उभारणीच्या कामात महत्त्वाची भूमिका बजावत आहे.

कॅलिफोर्नियातील पिनॅकल्स नॅशनल पार्कमध्ये सुटीच्या दिवशी फिरत असताना त्याच्या मनात सहज विचार आला..... तो मुंबईत महाविद्यालयात शिकत असताना एक निबंध स्पर्धा आयोजित करण्यात आली होती. या स्पर्धेचा उद्देश विद्यार्थ्यांची विचार करण्याची पद्धत, त्यांच्या भावभावना जाणून घेणे आणि त्यानुसार भविष्यातील अभ्यासक्रम ठरविणे हा होता. प्रत्येक विद्यार्थ्याने आपल्या आवडीचा विषय निवडून त्यावर अर्ध्या तासात निबंध लिहायचा होता.

सुरेशने उत्स्फूर्तपणे यात भाग घेतला होता. त्याने निवडलेला विषय होता—

“सत्य पराभूत होऊ शकते का?”

सत्याचा शोध प्रामुख्याने तत्त्वचिंतक आणि अध्यात्माच्या वाटेवर चालणारे संत-महात्मे घेत असतात. त्यांना जे आकलन होते ते समाजापुढे आणि अनुयायांसमोर मांडतात. परंतु ते अनेकदा सत्याचे कवडसेच असतात. पूर्ण सत्य नव्हे. हे कवडसेही  उपयुक्त ठरतात.

सत्य हे शब्दातीत आहे; ते केवळ अनुभवाद्वारेच जाणता येते.

ज्यांना पूर्ण सत्य गवसते ते बोलत नाहीत. ते मौनात जातात. हे मौन दोन प्रकारचे असू शकते.        

आध्यात्मिक मौन : जे सत्य अनुभवतात, त्यांना जाणवते की सत्य हे शब्दातीत आहे; ते अनुभवानेच जाणता येते. ते व्यक्त करायला शब्द अपुरे आहेत; त्यामुळे ते मौनात जातात.  

राजकीय मौन : सत्ता आणि व्यवस्था यांची ताकद समजल्यावर काहींच्या  मनात भीती निर्माण होते. सत्याचा प्रखर आणि भेदक प्रकाश त्यांच्या डोळ्यांसमोर अंधार निर्माण करतो. सत्ता हेच सत्य असा त्यांचा भ्रम होतो. अधिक भीती आणि भ्रम निर्माण होऊ नये म्हणून त्याविषयी बोलण्या ऐवजी ते मौन स्वीकारतात.

अनेकजण स्वतःहून सत्याचा शोध वगैरे घेण्याच्या फंदात पडत नाहीत. दैनंदिन व्यापात तेव्हढा वेळ त्यांच्या कडे नसतो. पण अनेकदा विवस्त्र स्वरूपात सत्य त्यांच्या समोर उभे ठाकते. आणि त्यांना त्यास सामोरे गेल्या शिवाय गत्यंतर राहत नाही.

सत्य परभूत होऊ शकते, कारण स्वतःचे आणि अनुयायांचे रक्षण करण्याचे सामर्थ्य त्याच्याकडे नसते.

सत्याचा जय किंवा पराजय हा त्याच्या अनुयांच्या क्षमतेवर अवलंबून असतो.

सत्याचे आचरण केल्यास आत्मबल निर्माण होते, आणि तेच सत्याला विजय मिळवून देण्यास उपयुक्त ठरते.

व्यक्तिमत्त्वाला अंतर्बाह्य झळाळी प्राप्त व्हावी असे ज्यांना वाटते त्यांनी सत्याचे आचरण करण्यास हरकत नाही.

सत्याचा शोध घेण्याचे अनेक मार्ग आहेत, त्यापैकी तपश्चर्या हा एक महत्त्वाचा मार्ग आहे. तपश्चर्या वनात जाऊनच नाही तर घराच्या चार भिंतीत किंवा कार्यालयाच्या दालनात ही करता येवू शकते.

काहीसे असे विचार त्याने आपल्या निबंधातून मांडले होते.

निबंध स्पर्धेचा निकाल राखून ठेवण्यात आला होता. सुरेश महाविद्यालयात असे पर्यंत तो लागला नव्हता.

पार्कमधून बाहेर पडून, आपल्या मोटारीत बसतांना सुरेशच्या मनात पुन्हा तोच प्रश्न निर्माण झाला—

“सत्य पराभूत होऊ शकते का ?”

त्याच बरोबर आणखी एक विचार त्याच्या मनात आला - 

“सत्य शोधण्यात AI चा कसा उपयोग करता येईल ?”

हा  विचार मनात घेऊन तो आपल्या बंगल्याच्या दिशेने निघाला.

यात्रा समृद्ध जपानची – जळगावच्या परिवर्तनाची दिशा

यात्रा समृद्ध जपानची – जळगावच्या परिवर्तनाची दिशा

पुण्यातील, विशेषतः पिंपळे सौदागरमधील सततच्या घडामोडींनी गजबजलेल्या जीवनानंतर जळगावला परतल्यावर मनात सहज प्रश्न उमटतो – जळगावची आकर्षणे काय आहेत ? 

उत्तर मिळते: 

ओंकारेश्वर मंदिर – जळगावच्या वैभवाचा आधार आणि तेथील शांतता

भाऊचे उद्यान- तेथील हिरवाई आणि तेथील चैतन्य

भरतदादा अमळकर- समप्रित आणि प्रेरणादायी  व्यक्तिमत्त्व 

आजच्या कार्यक्रमात – ‘यात्रा समृद्ध जपानची’ या अभ्यास दौऱ्याच्या संदर्भात डॉ. भरतदादा अमळकर आणि सौ. हेमाताई अमळकर यांनी अतिशय उत्तम सादरीकरण केले. जपान म्हणजे शिस्त, तंत्रज्ञान, राष्ट्रभक्ती आणि सामाजिक परिवर्तन यांचा अदभूत  संगम – हे त्यांनी उदाहरणांसह आणि चित्रफितींच्या माध्यमातून आपल्या नेहमीच्या खुमासदार शैलीत सादर केले.

त्या अनुषंगाने त्यांनी देशातील सद्यस्थितीतील सामाजिक आणि राजकीय परिस्थितीचे विवेचन केले आणि परिवर्तनाच्या प्रक्रियेवर प्रकाश टाकला. अभिमानाची बाब म्हणजे ते या प्रक्रियेचे कृतीशील घटक आहेत.

कार्यक्रमाआधी, अनेक मान्यवरांसह महापौर सौ. दीपमालाताई काळे यांची भेट झाली. त्यांच्या कार्यास शुभेछ्या दिल्या. 

आगामी काळात सामाजिक संस्था आणि राजकीय नेते भरतदादा अमळकर यांचे मार्गदर्शन घेतील आणि जळगावला वैभवाच्या शिखरावर पोहोचवतील, अशी आशा मी बाळगतो.

Harnessing the Potential of the Subconscious Mind

 Harnessing the Potential of  the Subconscious Mind

A lady once asked Thomas Edison, “Mr. Edison, what is electricity?”

He replied, “Madam, electricity is. Use it.”

That simple answer carries great wisdom. Let scientists unravel mysteries; our task is to apply the power.

The same holds true for the subconscious mind—it is not essential to understand every mechanism. What matters is how we harness it in daily life, how we employ it to engineer dreams and bring them to fruition.

In my writings—My Perspective of Prayer and the conceptual paper Decision Making with Intuition Integrated with Prayer—I have emphasised application over complexity.

The subconscious mind is not merely a hidden reservoir of thoughts; it is the silent architect of destiny. It shapes the unseen scaffolding upon which dreams rise and unfold.

Books such as The Power of Your Subconscious Mind have touched millions, offering living testimony to how invisible forces guide the realization of aspirations. For over three decades, I have returned to this book, each reading revealing new dimensions of its truth. In my own life, some dreams have blossomed exactly as envisioned, others in unexpected forms, and still others await their season. Even in my sixties, I continue to nurture and refine dreams, guided by this inner power that never grows old.

Prayer, intuition, and insight are not abstractions; they are practical instruments.

Prayer, when harmonized with the subconscious, becomes a force that activates dreams.

Intuition, when woven with prayer, illuminates decisions with clarity beyond logic.

To the ordinary mind, these may appear complex, yet their essence lies in practice, not theory.

The subconscious mind is a servant of belief, visualization, and prayer.

It does not argue; it accepts.

What we sow in it, it works tirelessly to manifest.

Simple Steps to Tap the Potential of the Subconscious Mind:

• Be Transparent – Honesty with oneself opens inner channels.
• Be Receptive – Keep the mind open to signals, insights, and guidance.
• Believe Deeply – Faith is the bridge between vision and realisation.
• Visualise Positively – See the dream vividly, as if already achieved.
• Cultivate Quality Sleep – Rest allows the subconscious to work unhindered.
• Feed Positive Thoughts Before Sleep – The last thought at night seeds tomorrow’s reality.
• Protect Against Negativity – Guard the mind from destructive influences.
• Offer Prayers – Align your inner self with higher harmony.

Dreams are engineered not only by conscious effort but by the silent labour of the subconscious.

To envision, nurture, and refine a dream is to collaborate with this inner architect.

From Reflection to Resolution

From Reflection to Resolution

Last week, a Pune-based entrepreneur shared his experience with me. His enterprise is distinctive—he procures and supplies special-purpose industrial parts on an urgent basis, ensuring that work does not stall when a critical component fails. He has long been a reader of my reflections, often revisiting my blogs and even keeping printed copies close at hand.

For quite some time, he had contemplated establishing a unit in Ahmedabad. Yet the decision eluded him. Concerns about infrastructure, market conditions, and the challenge of managing operations in a distant, unfamiliar place kept him in a state of hesitation.

On April 26, he encountered my conceptual paper Realisation of Engineered Dream. He read, reflected and resolved to follow the guidance it offered. In the stillness of an early morning, clarity emerged—he decided to set up the unit in Ahmedabad.

Now, only weeks into its establishment, he affirms that the decision was indeed wise. His testimony is more than encouragement; it is a reminder that words can become bridges between thought and action.

Such feedback not only strengthens my resolve to share reflections but also deepens my connection with people, offering me the privilege to learn from their journeys as they transform contemplation into resolution.

Words of Teachers, Words of Judges

 Words of Teachers, Words of Judges

Teachers and judges hold a sacred responsibility: To build and to safeguard human values. They are among the most respected figures in society, for their words are not mere utterances but instruments that shape destinies and civilizations.

In the hierarchy of learning—to know, to understand, to apply, to analyze, to synthesize, and finally to judge—judgement stands as the highest summit of human cognition. Even within the word judgement, the letters judge remind us of the rare human capacity to discern, decide, and proclaim.

A teacher, through patient transformation, nurtures a child into a mind capable of such discernment. A judge, through interpretation of law and constitution in their true spirit, illuminates the lives of millions. Thus, whether in the classroom or the courtroom, words carry immeasurable weight—not only within institutions, but in the very evolution of human civilization.

A teacher’s question—“What do you want to be remembered for?”—can ignite a flame that propels a student toward greatness. A judge’s pronouncement, interpreting law and constitution in their true spirit, can illuminate the lives of millions. Names of such teachers are inscribed in golden letters upon the scroll of history, just as landmark judgements echo across generations.

Yet, the essence of both roles rests upon one indispensable quality: 

He shall be a good human being. 

For words, though powerful, can wound as deeply as they can heal. A careless remark from a teacher may shatter a student’s future; a thoughtless comment from a judge, though not part of the verdict, may still reverberate through society.

Therefore, teachers and judges alike must wield words with the utmost care—deliberate, measured, and humane. For in their words lies the power to build or to break, to elevate or to diminish, to guide or to mislead. And in that responsibility rests the nobility of their calling!

P.S. It is by God’s grace that, across four decades in my career, the words I spoke found resonance and inspiration in many hearts. Knowing that they uplifted, encouraged, and guided others is the deepest fulfilment of a teacher’s journey.

 

Struggle, Accountability, and Vigilance

Struggle, Accountability, and Vigilance

Who You Are?:

This is the question that must echo in every hall where someone stands behind the microphone, pens an article, or claims to lead. It is not a ceremonial inquiry, but the essential test of authenticity. 

Anyone stepping into the social or political arena must first answer: Who you are?

And we, as citizens, are duty-bound to ask this question.

The Price of Struggle:

Struggle in public life is not imposed; it is chosen. Those who enter voluntarily must be prepared to pay the price — in sacrifice, in accountability, in responsibility.

There are also those who have attempted such experiments before and failed. They, too, may speak boldly and make claims — but only for a time. Their words must be tempered by the lessons of failure, by humility, and by the resolve to carry the debt of their missteps. 

Society must remain vigilant, aware of such voices, measuring not only their promises but their willingness to pay the price of past errors.

A Word for Caution:

In the end, vigilance belongs to all.

Whether “cockroaches” or “non‑cockroaches,” the demand remains the same:

Integrity in struggle,

Honesty in accountability,

And the courage to answer when asked — Who you are?

If vigilance falters, if we fail in our duty, the price paid will be heavy, too heavy for the society to bear.

P.S.

Hundreds of pages written, scores of lectures delivered , yet the question remains my compass:
Who you are?

The World-Class Physicians of the River !

 The World-Class Physicians of the River !

In one of the grand meetings of the darbar, the king rose with glittering ambition: “Our kingdom shall be the wealthiest in the world!” The courtiers applauded, though their minds whispered of limited resources and impossible dreams.

Then, one courtman stood and spoke: “Majesty, I have heard it said — Health is Wealth. If our subjects are healthy, we shall indeed be wealthy. Let us produce world-class physicians, chosen from the most intelligent minds of our land. Train them well, and soon the world shall salute us.”

The phrase “world class” rang like music in the king’s ears. He praised the wisdom, the courtiers saluted, and the darbar swelled with pride.

But then came the question: How to select these brilliant minds?

After marathon discussions, the experts presented their plan. A “Test” would be conducted. Aspirants would gather on the riverbank, each to pick a stone from the heap and hurl it into the flowing waters. In a tower nearby, an assessor armed with the most advanced digital distometer would measure the distance of each throw. The candidate who hurls the stone the farthest would be selected for training as a physician.

The king was dazzled. The courtiers clapped. The technology was praised as “state of the art.” Rules and regulations were drafted, approved, and the test was conducted. Many hailed it as innovative, fair, and modern.

Yet faint voices rose: some candidates had heavier stones, others lighter ones, tilting the chances. Some whispered that the assessors manipulated the readings on the digital distometer. But these voices were so weak that they disappeared into the air.

A few voices dared to speak boldly: “Your Majesty, throwing stones measures only arms, not minds. A frail but brilliant student may cure fevers, though he cannot hurl rocks.”

The king thundered in reply: “Silence! The sacred river shall decide who heals the kingdom. Let the distometer record their destiny!”

And so it was decreed. The kingdom’s future physicians were chosen not by wisdom, compassion, or skill, but by the distance of stones hurled into the river and recorded on the distometer.

The darbar rejoiced, the king proclaimed progress, and the people waited — unaware that their health now rested on the strength of arms rather than the strength of minds.
