थारु को हुन् ?

म सानै छदा कहिले काही हाम्रो घर मा पहाडी केरा को डोको बोकेर  आउनु हुन्थ्यो, एक जना बाजे।  म हजुरबा लाइ सोध्थे को हुन् इनि भनेर।  हजुरबा ले इनि मेरो मित हुन् भन्थे।  हामि केरा खादै रमौंथ्यो र मित बाजे संग गफ गर्थ्योउ। बाजे ले हामि लाइ नेपाली बोल्न सिकाउनु हुन्थ्यो।  बाजे १ हप्ता पछि फर्किनु हुन्थ्यो, १ बोरा चामल त्यहि डोको मा राखेर।     

अहिले म सोचेर दङ्ग पर्छु।  मित बाजे कोसौ टाढा पहाड बाट डोको बोकेर हाम्रो गाउ पैदल आउनु हुन्थ्यो र पैदल नै चामल बोकेर फर्किनु हुन्थ्यो।  मोटर चल्दैनथ्यो त्यति बेला।   हजुरबा ले भन्नु हुन्छ उहा धेरै गरिब हुनुहुन्छ भनेर। पहाड  मा जिउनु गार्हो छ अरे।  

त्यसैले नै होला धेरै पहाडी हरु चामल लिन तराई झर्थे २० साल पहिले।

हजुरबा ले भन्नु हुन्छ, हाम्रो ४० बिघा जमिन थियो।   नवलपरासी का धेरै गाउ हरु मा थारु हरु जमिन्दार थिए। बिस्तारै पहाडी भाग बाट मानिस हरु तराई वोर्लिए।  थारु हरु ले इन्लाई सरह दिए।  

आज एकजाना पहाडी साथि ले को हुन् थारु र के का लागि आन्दोलन गरिरहेका छन् भनेर सोधे। मेरो कुनै जवाब थिएन।  म उसको अनुहार हेरेर मुस्काए मात्र।     

A Constant Civil War

[ad#hlinks]

Don’t be stupid and get drawn into a war with your own self, warns OSHO


OSHOSPEAK
1. No one is divided; every one of us is one harmonious whole. There is just one camp, and that is you
2. Conflicts are created so that one part of you begins to fight with the other. Isn’t that stupid?
3. The body is an illusion; beyond matter is pure energy. Realise inner reality; become conscious

The past has created a constant civil war in every human being. The strategy that has been used is to divide you into two enemy camps: Zorba and the Buddha, the materialist and the spiritualist.
You are not divided in reality, for you are a harmonious whole. But the conditioning in your mind is that you are not whole; you have to fight against your body. If you want to be a spiritual being, the body has to be conquered, defeated, destroyed and tortured in every possible way.

Engineering Divisions
This has been the accepted ideology all over the world. In different cultures, different religions, the formulations may be different, but the basic rule is the same: divide man, create a conflict in him so one part starts feeling higher, becomes holy, and starts condemning the other part as the sinner.
The trouble is that you are one; there is no way to divide you. Every division is going to create misery in you. Up to now, humanity has lived in a schizophrenic (depression) way. Everyone has been cut into pieces, fragments. Your religions, philosophies and ideologies have not been healing processes; they have been the root causes of inner conflict and war.

Soul Versus Body
The west chose to go with Zorba. There was no other way to remain sane — one part had to be completely destroyed, forgotten. The West denied the inner reality of man, his consciousness: man is only a body, there is no soul.
Eat, drink and be merry is the only religion. This was simply a way to find some peace of mind, to get out of the conflict, to come to a decision and a conclusion — by accepting that you are one: just matter, just body.
The East has chosen the other way: you are the soul and the body is an illusion. Matter does not exist, the world is made of the same stuff as dreams are made of, so don’t be bothered about it…. It’s not worth taking note of. On the surface, it seems that East and West are doing different things, but they are not. Essentially, they are trying to find a rational way to be one. To be two, means a constant disease, a conflict.

East And West
Why have East and West chosen differently? The Eastern mind, in search of a unitary being, tried to find out all about inner consciousness. Why call the body illusory? To us the body seems real, and consciousness is just a word. The natural tendency will be to decide in favour of the body, because the body is there; consciousness you have to search for; you have to go into an inner pilgrimage.
People like Gautama Buddha and Mahavira were sincere. Their sincerity was so clear, their presence was so impressive, their words were authoritative. It was impossible to deny. These people were their own argument, their own validity. They were so peaceful and joyful, relaxed and fearless. Certainly, they had found a source within themselves. You cannot just deny it without giving to search. Unless you find that there is no consciousness; you cannot deny it.

All-pervasive Energy
We had people so fragrant…. The fragrance was so much that the East tried to look inside, and found taht the soul is far more real. The body is just an appearance. Modern science has come to the same conclusion — that matter is illusory, that matter does not exist, it only appears — from a very different route. They have found, as they reach deeper into matter, that it is less and less substantial. At a point after the atom there is no matter at all. There are only electrons, which are particles of electricity — which is not matter but energy.
The East moved inwards and found that the body, mater, is relatively non-substantial; the ultimate reality belongs to consciousness. In the East there has been at least ten thousand years of a constant, consistent search into the inner reality of man… all the genius fo the East has been devoted to it.
