Ah okay…Been
trying to write but there are so many distractions. During the end of my shift,
one of my coworkers starts looking for funny news on internet channel 8 or
something like that. Most of the news tends to be funny and stupid. She always
prints one for me, just to laugh. Some examples: 93 year old stole a goat... life sentence for snatching a purse....a man went to rob a police station, when found out he was in the wrong place, he
told cops he just wanted to see if he
has any warrants… and such …Anyway, although it is sad and unfortunate, it
makes me laugh.
There was a guy
called Ramakrishna in India, even Gustav Carl Jung was scared to go see him
because he was scared to face a man like Ramakrishna, who was regarded by whole
of India to be an enlightened master. Carl Jung was a mere psychologist, mostly
influenced by or some believed copied the works of Freud. He was so mesmerized
by the mystics and their tradition in India, he went to visit India to find out
the real meaning of self, ego, soul etc…. He went there and started giving
speeches, doing researches, asking stupid question to public like do you know
who you called this “I”? What is the nature of this “I”? What do you think
about when you are having sex? Are you attracted to your mother? etc… People
were fed up with him. They told him- “We are just peasants, farmers; we have
nothing interesting or intellectual to tell you and as per sex, we do it for
entertainment because that is evidently the only means of entertainment here in
India, after a hard day of constant labor in this weather… But Ramakrishna is
your man. He knows everything about self, Id, ego, superego, about the nature
of soul and even sex …for your warning, we have to tell you, he reads comics
all the time but when he gets serious and look into your eyes, your
intellectual, your sophistication, your wisdom drop dead, or if you lie or brag
or talk about something you don’t know he will catch you. He is the master of
masters.”
Carl Jung
thought for a long week and another. How is he going to look into eyes of a man
who knows all the internal things such as who is “I”? Soul? God? At that time,
Jung had already written his books and claimed that he knows all the nature of
the mind, how brain works, how ego and sex plays role in human consciousness.
But honestly, to be true to himself, he knew nothing. He did not know about
soul and its nature. Neither he knew about consciousness, nor knew about
meditation. He got petrified by the idea of visiting a man who knows who he is.
His works, writings, thesis, philosophy would be dusted if he can’t answer
Ramkrishna’s questions, or the
enlightened master tells him in front of thousands that Jung’s books are
garbage not even as good as his comic books. Jung could not possibly brag about
id, ego, superego, or consciousness with Ramkrishna, if I may use, he can’t
simply bullshit a guy who supposedly to knows all this. He decided to not to go
at all. Ramkrishna had heard that may be Carl Jung will come visit him so he
said- “Okay let him come, I will see what he is bragging about.” Carl Jung did not have courage. Ramkrishna
just finished another joke book in his waiting. Many Freuds, Bohms, Johns, Jungs
had come with pride and return with hurt egos.
Carl Jung, when
returned to the west, he was embarrassed, but of course he was not going to say
I was scared to meet a so called enlightened master, who was supposed to know the true self, the
ATMAN, but he said-“AH…well….hmm… you see, there is no one in India who knows
about psychology and consciousness. All Indians work in the labor in farm, in
hot days, eat just chilly and chapatti, and in nights, use sex for
entertainment.”
