கருணாநிதியின் முடிவால் அதிர்ச்சியான தொண்டர்கள்


DInamalar.com
 தி.மு.க., தலைவர் கருணாநிதி நிருபர்களிடம் பேசும் போது, "காங்கிரஸ் கட்சியுடனான உறவில் எந்த சிக்கலும் இல்லை. ஸ்பெக்ட்ரம் வழக்கில் தலையிடும்படி, மத்திய அரசை நாங்கள் நிர்பந்திக்கவில்லை' என கூறினார்.தொடர்ந்து காங்கிரஸ் கட்சி கூட்டணி குறித்து நிருபர்கள் கேட்ட போது, கருணாநிதி கடுமையாக கோபப்பட்டார்.

"சமச்சீர் கல்வி திட்டம் நிறுத்தப்பட்டதற்கு, சென்னை ஐகோர்ட் தடை விதித்துள்ளது குறித்தெல்லாம் கேட்காமல், கனிமொழி வழக்கை மட்டும் பேசுகிறீர்களே' என எரிந்து விழுந்தார். "காங்கிரஸ் கட்சியின் அதிகாரப்பூர்வ நாளேடில், சட்டசபை தேர்தல் தோல்விக்கு ஸ்பெக்ட்ரம் ஊழலே காரணம் என குறிப்பிடப்பட்டுள்ளதே' என கேட்ட போது, "தி.மு.க., தோல்விக்கு பார்ப்பனர்களே காரணம்' என்றார்."மத்திய அரசிலிருந்து விலகினால், ஸ்பெக்ட்ரம் ஊழல் வழக்கை சந்திப்பது சிரமமாக இருக்கும் என்பதாலே, மத்திய அரசிலிருந்து விலகவில்லை' என கட்சியின் மூத்த நிர்வாகி ஒருவர் தெரிவித்தார்.

Seems still he didn't understand the reason why he lost the election... Does he think actually?

There is really no such thing as what we call karma



Cause and effect are not two different things. The effect of today will be the cause of tomorrow. There is no cause, isolated, which produces an effect; they are interrelated. There is no such thing as a law of cause and effect, which means that there is really no such thing as what we call karma. To us, karma means a result with a previous cause, but in the interval between the effect and the cause there has been time. In that time there has been a tremendous lot of change and therefore the effect is never the same. And the effect is going to produce another cause which will never be merely the result of the effect. Do not say, -I do not believe in karma- that is not the point at all. Karma means, very simply, action and the result, with its further cause. Sow a mango seed and it is bound to produce a mango tree-but the human mind is not like that. The human mind is capable of transformation within itself, immediate comprehension, which is a breaking away from the cause, always.
JK , The Collected Works vol XI, p 90

Kumudam Reporter : Interview with Cho Ramasamy


அழகிரியும் ஸ்டாலினும் ராமர் - லட்சு மணரைப் போல் அல்லாமல் ராவணன், கும்பகர்ணனைப் போல் ஒற்றுமையாக இருக்க வேண்டும் என்று கருணாநிதி கூறியிருக்கிறாரே?

‘‘கலைஞர் எதற்காக இப்படிச் சொன்னார் என்று தெரியவில்லை. விழித்துக் கொண்டு இருப்பவர் செய்த தவறைப் பொருட்படுத்தாமல் அவரோடு சேர்ந்து, தன்னை அழித்துக் கொள்வதற்கு உறக்கத்தில் இருந்த சகோதரர் எழுந்து வந்த கதை அது. இவர்களோடு ஏன் ஒப்பிட்டார் என்று தெரியவில்லை. வெற்றி கண்ட ராமர், லட்சுமணன் போல் அல்லாமல், தோல்வியையும் அழிவையும் கண்ட ராவணன், கும்பகர்ணனை சகோதர உறவோடு ஒப்பிட்டதற்கு அவர்தான் விளக்கம் தர வேண்டும்’’ என்று முடித்துக் கொண்டார் சோ.ராமசாமி.

Path to Joyful Living

2. The destination (Goal in life)
You do not know your destination. However, the generic definition of the word 'destination' is known. It is that place, on reaching, which you do not travel any further. 

Your own home may not be the destination, if you are not going to be contented over there. In other words, the destination could be defined as a status of complete contentment (or happiness or fulfillment). When you feel that there is nothing more to do and no need to go anywhere else, then you have reached your destination.

That destination is called Joyful Living. 

However, most of your fellow travelers are not intelligent enough to find out their ultimate destination. Instead of saying, 'I want happiness' beyond which there is no need to travel, every one names different places as their destination. After reaching that destination, they will spend some time and effort and then realize they are not happy. They will continue their journey with a new destination, hoping they will get contentment over there. Thus, the travel never ends. 

Similarly, in life everyone has varied goals. One wants to qualify as a doctor, another wants a job as a sales manager, yet another wants to build a house. There seems to be no end to the variety of goals. On analysis, we find out there is only one goal, which is common to all of them, which is contentment/ happiness. 
Everyone wants to earn money in order to spend it and gain contentment. They assume that the contentment will come by acquiring name, fame, money, wealth, power, position or people. 

Presence/ Absence Logic (P/A Logic) says sweetness is the nature of sugar and it can never be separated from sugar.

We can apply this logic to name, fame, money, wealth, position or people and prove that there is no happiness or contentment in them. Everyone is primarily interested only in contentment and not in name, fame etc. 

Example: A girl loves her neighbor very dearly and wants to marry him.

This statement cannot be true. She wants to be happy and she assumes that by marrying him, she will be happy. If it is shown to her that she will not get happiness from him, then she will not want to marry him.

Thus, everyone is highly selfish and the only objective is to be happy and contented. No one really cares for name, fame, money, wealth, power, position or people if he or she cannot get happiness from them.

Example: I love my son.

The word 'my' is more important than the word 'son'. If he runs away with my enemy's daughter, he is no longer my son and I do not love him anymore!

Path to Joyful Living

1. The Journey (Life)
When you wake up one day, you find yourself in the lower berth in a moving train. There are many fellow passengers and you wish them, "good morning". It is strange that you do not remember who you are or where you are going. Since everyone around you seem to be normal, you do not want to alarm them by asking them the question 'who am I'. 


May be there will be some clue. You check your bag and find a bundle of currency. You do not know whether to feel happy or not. This currency bundle will solve the problem of survival, but the problem of where to go still remains. 

There should be a ticket showing the destination. There is one. It shows when and where you bought the ticket and the destination. Great! However, there is no name on it. Atleast, now you know the destination! Your happiness is short lived because you find many more tickets inside the bag. You seem to be a buying ticket everyday and there are countless tickets.

The current ticket shows that you are going to reach the destination in few hours time. The train stops in a station. You get down and get some breakfast. Thanks to the currency notes. You wonder if you should discontinue the journey, but you get into the train and decide to continue the travel until the destination showed in your ticket.

A casual conversation with the fellow passengers reveals that you are not alone. None of the co-passengers around you seems to know who they are. They seem to enjoy the travel without worrying about the 'unnecessary' details. One thing is common in all of them. They all want to get back home and they are sure that this current journey will take them home! You are not so sure.

Finally the destination has come. You get off the train, bid farewell to the fellow passengers and walk out of the station. You sincerely hope that you will recognize it to be your hometown. No. It is yet another strange place. You do not know where to go and what to do. After spending the rest of the day in that place, you decide to continue to travel. You buy another ticket, get into the train and find a berth to sleep.

Next morning when you get up you have no idea who you are. There is absolutely no idea what happened on the previous day. Yet another day follows in the same pattern.

The scenario is the same with respect to our lives. None of us knows our identity. We have no idea when we began the journey. We go on traveling without any end in sight. Nevertheless, everyone wants reach home and that is the reason for traveling. It is time to review the direction, do a course correction, if required, and not to keep traveling blindly.
