Newton’s
third law is not a law of opposites or a law of clashes. It is law that holds.
Force of reaction can never be greater than the force of action. If you are
pushing a car, you can either push it away or you can’t, but it can never
happen that the car is able to push you back.
One
cannot react to violence with his brand of violence. He can only act with his
brand of violence. But, that is VIKARMA (विकर्म), the prohibited action,
a word that has been used only once in Geeta. In my opinion, Vikarma is
a product of ‘greedy intellect’ of human being. Human intellect, as such, can
not possess its own qualities. It is merely a highly sophisticated tool that
can be used by the man for his well being. However, if the man uses this tool
persistently to satisfy his greed it develops some kind of hysteresis and
compels the man to think in his self interest only. It is due to the above referred
hysteresis of intellect the man starts reacting to the right with a wrong and
to the wrong with a bigger wrong. The man in possession of a ‘neutral’
intellect can err, but can also recognize his error and can endeavour to
rectify his error.
When human intellect, due to the persistent use in the
man’s self interests, suffers from the wrong type of hysteresis and humanity is
in peril, the superposing process of rectification is triggered. Whether it is triggered
by the inherent quality of humanity or by the God (as believed by many), is not
exactly known. However, that the rectification process is implemented on the
man’s land is certain. Many believe that at such times the God takes birth in
the man’s land. We have learned that if the God takes birth in the man’s land,
he is not born there for installing new religions or constructing many more places
for helping the man worship Him, but for waging a war against the intellectual hysteresis
of the man. Whether it is done through a coercive force that is apparently violent
or through a persistent reaction of most humble nonviolence to make the violent
tired, and, die their own death that depends on the place, time and circumstances.
When this happens the hysterical rituals of hollow pretentiousness are dumped,
and, a culture of human duties is commissioned.
Reincarnation repose faith, not that much in the God, as
in humanity. The man cannot turn his face away from his own historical reality.
The hope is the nascent stage of faith; hence it must be nurtured.
