The Nomad

I am just another adventurous traveler with no real destination, exploring the noosphere (search this term, its my fav to explain the world) alone. I do take breaks(recharge time) but keep coming back into this human universe. I intend to explore as much of this world before my rechargeable battery dies out(replacement batteries someone? :P).

I meet a lot of ppl en route who are co-travelers, hosts, guests and locals who keep me company during the journey. some come along and leave when the route changes but I keep going on (hoping to see them enroute again sometime). but the journey never stops to settle for a nomad.

you are welcome to join the journey if we meet en route . I do need company socializing and help on food, acco, routing (gps doesn't work all the time :P) etc and I do know a lot of routes (m a well experienced traveler :>) so may be I can help/route u on ur journey. and if our destinations are the same may be we can trek along and help recharge our batteries for the next journey ahead.

what ever be the destination or even if u believe in destiny, its the journey thats the real destination. keep traveling and share and flaunt the experience and adventure. lets party and celebrate this journey called life when we meet. ;)
I am the nomad.

Who am I?


I am a product of various forms of energy acting in equilibrium on a complex piece of matter called my body, based on a formula, manifesting itself as thought, life energies, consciousness, action, emotion, senses etc randomly and yet by finite rules of nature. I am me until this equilibrium is maintained, after which the energies and matter drain back into their source system, the infinite universal energy and matter, and comeback in other forms of matter and energy, but this will not be me anymore. not even my rebirth or reincarnation. (Just like _a_ cup of water taken out of the sea becomes _the_ cup of water until it is in the container and when pored back into the sea becomes the sea again and taking _another_ cup does not make it _the_ cup of water again.) So neither the energies nor the matter nor the space and time used by it is me. They are all part of the one. the only one that is true, real and absolute. everything else is a manifestation of it, imaginary and relative.

Some say the absolute one is sat-chit-ananda in sanskrit which means _absolute _ truth-consciousness-bliss. Since absolute thinking is beyond the capability of humans, I can only know about my self in relative terms. Relative to this maya called the world which we created and evolved. In relative terms I just my _chit_. i.e., 'I' am only my relative(to this world) consciousness which will exist as long as there will be the equilibrium of the energies and matter in me. (like an _instance_ of a program created and running in memory of a computer, which once killed cannot be that instance again, though another instance of the same program can be created. Here the computer is the universe, memory contains the worlds(collective conciousness/space&time), program a particular world and instance an individual) once this synergy is lost my consciousness merges with the absolute consciousness of the one which is null and void and I will remain only in the consciousness of others inside the same worlds as I had been in and who knew me until their consciousness remains in the respective worlds(like the data left by the instance of that program until the program is over/data purged).

This is the truth about me. Everything else is false. so never trust what others say about me. never trust what opinion u made about me. its all false. :P

Ignorance is Bliss.


I remember this quote by Cypher in The Matrix, when the agent offers him a deal to become a traitor.

Cypher: You know, I know this steak doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss.



This is something I often think during my search for knowledge.

Is Ignorance Bliss? Trust me it is. but guess where the issue is. no one is truly ignorant. It is just the relative difference in the level of knowledge one has compared to others. We start gaining knowledge already by the time we are born and implicitly learn a lot of things. this implicit learning is the reason why some one should start seeking real knowledge.

so in case of people being agnostic towards god/anything, these are people like cypher who want to be agnostic for not being effected by the reality and try to stay away from trouble. what is the result? not every one is agnostic. infact most of them are religions, which is more dangerous than being agnostic. i.e., the blindly believe in dogmas, do not have real values inside, create ways to escape the sins/karma by circumventing it using various escape routes like forgiveness, pariharam(just to convince their conscience) etc. This kind of religiousness does not make one civilised or evolved. they are locked up in a time when the religion was created, makes them conservative and on top of this the basic uncivilized wild nature of humans are not removed. combine this with worldly expectations, materialistic interests and nexus between politics and religion, more dogmas are created to circumvent the core ideas and the result is mayhem. I think since people are religions, one needs to be aware of the issues created by this and seek knowledge to destroy ignorance.

For me I am an atheist(an atheist is not agnostic or anti god, but an informed decision of an individual who has realised or wants to realise what god/everthing is. Being atheistic is a good start to understand god/everything and its concepts than being devoted or religious) and I believe god is a concept and try to understand the ideas behind the concept differenciate between good ideas and bad ideas, understand real philisophy and just take the gist or the essence of the ideas and follow them in spirit, than blindly believing in god/religion and its dogmas. for others who want to be a theist, be so but with deligence, openess and seek knowledge. dont let dogmas and devotion come on the way. some one said When you meet the Buddha(or your favourite god) on the road to enlightenment, kill him. I really mean this if you understood the meaning of it.



When I say ignorance and agnostic, I am not just talking about ignorance about god alone, it is ignorance about anything and everything in everyday life which affect us as an individual and as a society and find ways to solve it. This is the real purpose of human existance(karma/gnana yoga).

This is the very catch in these theistic concepts. i.e., to make man search of the unknown and in the process improve his knowledge on so many things in this world, get a big view of things and help the development of humanity and the creation. this is exactly what every sadhu, swami, saint, mysteic and prophet has done.
and I believe when people move beyond a certain level of knowledge and get to know the unknown dimensions of this universe(the brahman/Sunyata?), they are in true bliss as they have already become ignorant of this/our world.

So du want to be ignorant? du want to be cypher?
Even I wish I was completely ignorant. but it is just not possible.
so I requote. complete Ignorance which is bliss.
