Science admits that nothing happens
without a definite cause behind it. Man is said to have been created by God
himself. The Bible says, “God created man after his own image”. “Hence it is a
fact that as God is pure, so man is pure, God is perfect and benignant, so man
is perfect and benignant”. God is unique and without second, man is also unique
and without any one like him in the creation.
But the reality that is evident in the
world does not corroborate with the above maxim. Human beings ever confront,
with savaging attitude, atrocity, inhuman cruelty displayed through forceful
raping, burglary, unadjusted and unsympathetic behavior from the people in
man's own environment. Man seems to have lost the last drop of love, mercy,
decorum of life and the sense of humanity ingrained in his very being itself.
Moreover, wherever we survey we come across innumerable people burdened with
frustration, a sense of insecurity sense of self-alienation and an
unprecedented dark desolation in the depth of almost every human being. Science
and technology have done their best to provide man with comfort and amenities.
But yet man seems to have been tossed in the current and eddies of excruciating
pain due to disharmony, anomaly, treachery, ungratefulness and dragonic sense
of despair and despondency in personal life, conjugal life, social life and in
every sphere of life itself.
Why does this happen in man who is the
offspring of God himself? Why does the heavenly nature in Man who is said to be
the replica of the supreme divine term to be hellish one?
Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra, popularly
known as Sri Sri Thakur, founder of 'SATSANG', and the best fulfiller of all
the prophets, firmly believes that every human being is pure, perfect, and
replica of the Source. The apparent degeneration in man is due to deceased
condition of nature in him.
If a man is cured of his disease in
nature through proper treatment, he will shine in his pristine purity and
display his very intrinsic divinity ever entwined with his very existence
itself; this may be called curative measure. We are also told that “prevention
is better than cure”
The virus of degeneration that causes
disease in nature primarily permeates in man through his inception. If an
adequate measure is taken to check this permeation of the virus through
inception, the man is expected to shine in his pristine purity. This may be
called preventive measure. Let us deal with the preventive measure first.
Inception
An individual being is born through
inception. Inception implies the very moment when a sperm of father fertilizes
an ovum in mother and thus zygote impregnated with a life thrill or 'soul' is
formed in the womb of the mother. The character, conduct behavior as well as
his efficiency, achievement and the very nature of the individual grown out of
this zygote depend basically on the intrinsic nature of the 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti'
(biological make-up) in the individual. Modern eugenic science ascribes the
above-mentioned attributes mainly to the genes contributed by the parents. Sri
Sri Thakur does not deny the role of genes, but he ascribes all the credit to
the 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti' in the individual being.
The 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti' (biological
make-up) in an individual is determined at the time of inception. It is the
intensity of the cohesive urge with which a sperm is attracted towards the
ovum, compatibility among the genes contributed by both sperm and ovum, and the
extent of eagerness with which the ovum receives the sperm with all its inner
attributes and potentiality that determine the very intrinsic nature of
'Jaivi-Sangsthiti'. It is this 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti' that governs how the
individual being will happen to display his 'self'. Hence inception plays a
paramount role in producing a better individual 'being' with richer instinct,
sublime nature and unadulterated 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti' (biological make-up)
Sri Sri Thakur defines 'Jaivi-
Sangsthiti' as follows;
“The sprouting essence (Satta)
latent in the seed in which
all the natural characteristics of germination
being ingrained in functional attributes
sprout into a living entity---
through proper nurture and nutrition
with the conglomeration of stability, nature,
attributes and function—
that conglomeration of the very essence (satta) latent in the seed
may be called 'Jaive-Sangsthiti'. “
That Bengali word 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti may
be translated in English as 'Biological-make-up. With an example from botanical
world Sri Sri Thakur explains what he means by the term 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti
(biological make-up). Sri Sri Thakur says:
“Let us suppose two oleander trees
grow up side by side
in the same place.
One oleander tree ever yields white flowers,
the other oleander tree ever produces red flowers.
Thus oleander of two different colors
have been blooming in two different plants
year after year---
There never occurs any alteration of it.
Now the plant grown
from the seed of the white oleander
also yields oleander flower of white color:
and that grown
from the seed of red oleander
ever produces oleander flower of red color.
Why this different oleander plants
ever produce particularly white and red flowers
generation after generation ?
The particular orientation (arrangement)
in the Jaivi-Sangasthiti latent in the two
different plants
are of such types
that one type yields white oleander
and the other type produces red oleander—
though the two oleander trees outwardly look identical”. 2
