Inception plays paramount Role;
In our modern civilization there is
plenty of provision for the betterment of human condition. Theories and
concepts in education, economics, social science, politics are developing and
then changing, yielding place to a new one only with a view to giving man better
condition and congenial atmosphere for living. But better environmental
condition---educational economical, social or political—can not help man evolve
with peaceful and balanced progress towards eternal becoming. For advancement
in evolutionary progress man also needs to be intrinsically better with
unadulterated 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti, higher instincts and greater potentiality. If
a man is not born with these wealth and attributes, desired and essential, the
created congenial atmosphere will be polluted. Man will fail to move an inch
towards his progress.
If a man is born with lame or defective
legs', can he walk forward on the road paved with white marble or smooth
pavement? He cannot advance more than few steps; similarly, if that which leads
man from more to more in his evolutionary progress, that is his
'Jaivi-Sangsthiti' higher instincts and greater potentiality be of inferior
order, then how will he advance in his evolutionary progress? Man picks up from
his environment according to the nature of his instincts and his
Jaivi-Sangsthiti utilizes them as it can maneuver what is picked up. But the
better Jaivi-Sangsthiti, sublime instincts and greater potentiality man
acquires through the total process of fertilization of an ovum. Hence inception
plays a paramount role in human life.
Sri Sri Thakur does not deny the role
of education and environment. But he declines to agree with the statement of an
educationist like Mr. Haldon, that it is the impact of environment that can
render an ordinary person uncommonly great. In his opinion, “environment will
work no doubt, but it works always on the 'Jaivi-sangsthiti' of the man.
The function of education and
environment in developing a child may be compared with function of soil and
atmosphere in developing a seed. Without proper soil and good seed fails to
yield desired fruits. Similarly, without proper education and congenial
environment a human being cannot bloom into his full potentiality.
But if the seed is of inferior variety,
then however fertile may be the soil, we can never obtain superior quality of
fruits from that variety of seed. Similarly, if a child is born with infected
“Jaivi-Sangsthiti”, anomalous instincts and less potentiality, we can never
develop the child into a man of integrated personality, balanced exposition,
enriched with greater potentiality and inexhaustible urge to run towards
Eternal Becoming.
We know that the same soil nurtures
seeds to sprout into various plants with their specific botanical properties.
It is in the same soil and atmosphere that different seeds sprout into
varieties of seedlings and then into plants to yield different fruits with
varieties of tastes, flavor, chemical properties, medicinal values and
nutritive efficiency for human health. But it is neither the soil nor the atmosphere
that differentiates one plant from another; it is the latent specifics lying in
the seeds themselves that make this differentiation in tastes, flavor, and
nutritive properties. Similarly, the same education and environment provide
different individual with nurture and nutrition. But men of different
'Jaivi-Sangsthiti', instints and potentiality grow up in different types of
personalities. Hence Sri Sri Thakur posits, “Birth is more important
determinant than environment. In the process of growth a man picks up necessary
nourishment from his environment. But he picks up according to his inherent
instincts.”
Sri Sri Thakur is so confident of this
truth that he comments: “If science does not know this fact, it will know if it
investigates. If better progeny is not born with better instincts and
unadulterated 'Jaivi Sangsthiti', whatever may be the arrangement for education
or religious teachings, the man will fail to respond to it.”
How to effect the birth of better progeny
Individual beings born with
unadulterated Jaivi-Sangsthiti, sublime instincts and greater potentiality may
be called better progeny. But all these above-referred attributes do not grow
in any tree nor do it sprout from soil. All these develop into man through the
stream of blood. So to enrich each and every individual 'being' with above
mentioned attributes through inception, proper eugenic adjustment is essential.
Without proper eugenic adjustment and happy conjugal relation between husband
and wife, better and flawless inception of an individual being lies far behind
possibility.
Factors to be considered for eugenic adjustment:
1) Compatible marriage relation:
Sri Sri Thakur says, “ to marry is a
normal hankering in human beings. The very inner instinct in man is to be
rendered into multiple individuals. And from this instinctive hankering there
grows the tendency of unification between man and woman. This tendency of
unification between man and woman must be well adjusted in such a way that the
appearance of super efficient embodiment on this plane of matter comes to be
most normal and natural.” 5
Marriage is neither a contract for
mutual co-operation, nor is it an agreement for the appeasement of mutual
biological hankering. Through marriage the stream of man's biological evolution
and developments remains unhindered. Hence, “The primary object of marriage is
genetic enrichment. This is the first and the foremost purpose. The next is
cultural enrichment. So it is essential to observe if there is consistency and
compatibility among the heredity, personal habit, behavior and temperament of
both the bridegroom and the bride. Along with this, physical enrichment is also
required.” 6
In the opinion of Sri Sri Thakur, “In
the matter of marriage, the more biological, social, psychological, temperamental
and physiochemical compatibility between bridegroom and bride is maintained,
the greater remains the possibility of better progeny there”. 7
Sri Sri Thakur posits that the
compatibility in marriage is indispensably associated with the function of both
husband and wife. Both the husband and wife play a definite important role in
bringing a child on this plane of matter.
He says:
“Father sows,
mother nurtures, begets
and nourishes -- thus their characteristics
are different;
their marriage so
should be of
compatible combination
of similar clans; ” 8
All-round compatibility in marriage
helps to create compatible unison in between the sperm and the ovum to a great
extent. The compatibility in between the sperm and ovum may be compared with
the compatibility between seed and soil in the botanical world.
If soil is not befitting to seed sown
in it, the seed fails to sprout with all its latent probabilities. On the other
hand, if the soil happens to be too good and rich, many good qualities in the
seed burn out and we cannot have desired fruits from the seed.
Father sows the seed of life (sperm) in
the soil (ovum) in the mother's womb. Mother nurtures the seed with nutrition
and nourishment and turns this seed into a human form. The wealth and
attributes latent in the seed of life (sperm) comes to be embodied in the child
to the extent of nurture and nutrition provided by the soil (ovum). So in order
to have a child enriched with unadulterated “Jaivi-Sangsthiti”, sublime
instincts and greater potentiality, compatible combination of the seed and soil
(sperm and ovum) is a must. In the opinion of Sri Sri Thakur, “bio vigoured
seed must be sown into the bio-eagered soil”. 9
As to bio-vigoured seed and bio-egared
soil, Sri Sri Thakur maintains: “If the male possesses an active attachment and
eagerness to fulfill his Ideal (like Christ, Krishna,
Buddha or Hazrat Rasul, etc.), then the very existence in the form of sperm
comes to be illuminated with a living luster of vigor and energetic growth. On
the other hand, if the female happens to have an overwhelming attachment for
her equal and opposite entity -- her husband, then an inviting faculty of
receptive eagerness grow up in her physique, mind and particularly in her ovum.
In that condition she can conceive her husband's sperm cordially and can
nurture it thoroughly. The probabilities ingrained in the sperm get a greater
scope of being manifested in the progeny.
