Shape of our future generations

Namaskar,

Human beings are constantly undergoing change - in the physical realm, the psychic realm, and the spiritual realm.

Struggle & class brings development

Where there is physical clash [physical struggle] there will be physical development. An example of this is a person who trains for years and years to be an Olympic gymnast. By that physical engagement, the muscles develop and their physical body undergoes change - it grows. In contrast, if one does not exercise their physical body they will become physically weaker. A patient bedridden in the hospital does not have opportunity to walk or run; in result, they will lose their muscle mass and become weaker. So where there is physical clash there will be physical development, and vice versa.

Next is the psychic realm: Here also the same premise holds true. Where there is psychic clash [psychic struggle] there is psychic development. A classic case is the student deeply involved in university studies. As they are fully engaged in the learning process and constantly taking in and processing new information, they experience great change in the psychic or intellectual realm. In contrast, a person who never thinks deeply, and just goes through the day in a mechanical way, will lose their psychic faculties. Such is the law of nature.

So the theorem is: Physical clash [physical struggle] then physical development; psychic clash [psychic struggle] then psychic development; and longing for the Great then spiritual development.

Accordingly, some wonder what will the human body look like in the future.

Will be unable to walk

Over time, as humans struggle and adapt to ever-changing conditions - on the personal, societal, and environmental level - naturally the body changes. The gene code changes according to human need.

Essentially those changes are gradual, but they are nonetheless occurring. It is just like how if you see an 8-year-old boy everyday then you will barely notice any change. But if you go away and return two, five, or ten years later, you will see tremendous change in the boy. Seeing him five or ten years later you may not even recognise him at all. Same is the case with humanity. From one generation to the next, you may not notice much changes in the human specimen, but over the course of 50 generations, there were will be tremendous change. One may hardly even recognise them as human beings.

So what will the human body look like in the future?

• 1. The head will be bigger, and
• 2. The body will be smaller / weaker.

There are two basic forces at work toward these transformations. Firstly, with more and more mechanization in society, humans do less and less physical work. Long back, a typical human might walk 30, or 50, or even 100 miles in a single day - and they would not feel tired or sore. Today, however, most rely on some form of transportation whether it be bicycle, rickshaw, bus, taxi, train, automobile, helicopter, or airplane etc. To the degree one relies on mechanized form of transportation, one becomes physically weaker. This is the norm. Most would be stricken by the idea of having to walk 30 or 50 miles in a single day.

Why head will become bigger

And not just with transportation but in all realms of life there are great gains being made in the field of technology that makes like physically easier for us. That means less physical clash [psychical struggle] and a corresponding loss of physical activity and strength. And verily the physical body will get smaller. In one of His teachings below, Baba hints at how human beings will not even be able to walk - their legs will not support them. That is one-half of the equation.

The other half is that people will gradually become more and more mind-oriented. Instead of addressing life's problems with their might, they will rely on their intellect. In the past, to solve basic problems like water humans would carry buckets or build aqueducts. It was primarily a physical process. Now, however, to solve a similar problem, we use our psychic quality to come up with a solution and then implement that solution using computers, engines, and other mechanical or electronic devices etc . So the solution lies in the mental sphere. Essentially, humans will undergo more and more psychic clash [psychic struggle] and they will grow in the mental-cum-intellectual realm. And since the brain and brainstem are highly linked with the mind, the brain will become more complex and the cranium and head will become bigger - much bigger. And indeed, since long scientists have documented how the human cranium has evolved and grown over time. And this will continue at a more dramatic and faster rate in the future.

Conclusion

The rule is that if you utilise any limb or organ then it gets strengthened and if you do not use that organ or muscle then it weakens. In the present day world people do not use their arms or legs very much so those faculties are getting weaker. Whereas nowadays people have to use their brains for so many daily engagements so the brain is becoming bigger. If you go one million years back those early humans had smaller brains than modern human beings. And still today, indigenous tribes living in the wild, where they are not connected to modern civilisation, have a smaller cranium and a smaller vocabulary as well. In this world nothing is fixed. According to the need, nature provides. Based on this theory we can understand how in future generations - after a few thousand years - humans will be completely different from today’s population.

This theory of struggle and progress can be utilised in favour of present-day human health. To keep your arms, feet, and legs strong, exercise them regularly. Putting stress on those joints, muscles, and limbs will keep them strong. Similar is the case with the brain also. If you want to remain alert even when you are elderly, then keep active and always engage in intellectually challenging endeavours. Then brain diseases will be kept at bay.

Change in the nerve cells

Here following are Baba's teaching that demonstrate who due to increased mechanization and psychic engagement, the future humans will have bigger heads and smaller bodies than that present humanity.

   Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Human beings were born onto this earth about one million years ago. In those times, human beings were primitive. The people of today are very different from those primitive personalities - there is a great difference between them. How did this difference occur? Due to constant changes in structure a metamorphosis took place. An evolved psychic structure emerged and a corresponding change occurred in the physical structure to facilitate a proper physical medium for that evolved psychic structure. Human beings started thinking about certain subjects and remained in that state of contemplation for a long period. Human beings could not make their undeveloped nerves and nerve cells serve as the correct medium for their evolved psychic structure, so a change in the nerve cells had to be brought about. And so a change in the nerve cells and nerve fibres occurred. As a result the human face has also changed. The humans of one million years ago had a very small cranium. These so-called humans had a very small number of nerve cells. Their brains were small and their bodies were relatively big."
   "So humanity continued progressing in the intellectual spheres and grew weaker in the physical sphere. Naturally, the cranium grew, while the remaining portion of the body became weaker." (1)

Arms become thin & head will be abnormally large

   Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Thus, in the future, as people’s thought processes become more complicated, many new vrttis will develop. The number of vrttis may not stay at fifty. Just imagine the situation that will arise in the future as a result of humanity’s ever increasing thirst for knowledge. To meet these developments the nerve cells and nerve fibres will have to become more complex. Consequently, the human cranium will become larger and the size of the head will increase. The hands and feet will become weaker and weaker and human beings may even lose the ability to walk. Today, the human toes have almost stopped functioning – in spiritual actions we have almost no use for them – whereas at one time, when we used to walk on four legs, we used our toes as much as our fingers. The front legs were used less and less, and were transformed into arms, and thus these days it has become almost impossible for us to crawl on all fours. There was a time when humans would run on four legs, but today they cannot do that. After a time, children feel uncomfortable crawling around on all fours and try to walk on their hind legs. In the initial stages, when they try to stand up, they soon fall down. Again they stand up, again they fall down. When they finally develop the habit of standing on two legs, there are corresponding changes in the physical structure so that the use of their arms becomes less. In the future, the legs will be used less and less and the capacity to move on them will decrease. The arms will become thin, and the head will become abnormally large."
   "Today we think that such people will look very strange, but in the future one may hear people commenting, “Oh, how handsome he looks with eyes as small as little peas and arms as thin as jute sticks. He can’t hear anything with his ears. In fact, he hasn’t got any ears at all! What an attractive man.” Although it seems slightly repulsive to us, this will become the standard of beauty in future. People will judge beauty according to the standards of the day, saying, “Oh, those stick-like arms of his make him look so handsome. The fellow can’t walk properly. How wonderful.” And if someone can walk, people will say, “How indecent that fellow looks hobbling around on two legs!” But if he crawls along the ground they will say, “How wonderful, how beautiful!” If we were to see this sort of scene today, however, we would say, “How unsightly. That fellow is uglier than an owl.”" (2)

Baba, You are hiding in the depths of the mind

“Maneri gahane tumi ácho, ácho prabhu sadá jege ácho…” (Prabhata Samgiita #4380)

Purport:

O' Prabhu, You remain always in the depths of my mind – and never leave me. By Your grace, I am never alone. You are always awake, regardless of the time and date. You go on working day and night, beyond time, without ever getting tired or stopping. Whatever You want to do, You go on doing ceaselessly without rest.

O’ Parama Purusa, this whole animate and inanimate universe is Your playing ball. You are the ever-present, beginningless and endless, non-decaying, eternal Entity. You are ever divinely vibrated, always smiling in Your magnificent flow like the kimshuk flower. You want that those under the spell of slumber of the six enemies and the eight bondages should awaken from their infatuation and inertia. Baba, You are deeply and blissfully busy in Your cosmic liila.

Baba, O' Parama Purusa, although they do not have means but You are the Goal of all; everyone wants You. Every jiiva keeps You in their heart always. That is why they are always trying to come close to You by their virtuous deeds, shravan, manan, nididhyasana, and dhyana. Only those who are blessed are able to realise You, and have Your darshan and proximity. You dance and express Yourself in the mirror of Your ma’ya’ amidst the mountains and the ocean, and from dwellings to the wilderness, hills, and flower gardens.

Baba, You are krpa-personified; I surrender at Your holy feet...

Practical application of loopholes in Indian constitution

   Ananda Marga philosophy guides us, "There are several fiscal and psychological loopholes in the Indian constitution. The constitution of India proclaims that all are equal in the eye of the law. But in practice, this principle is not followed, and as a result disparity is growing in the arena of law and justice. Such disparity is adversely affecting the different groups of people in the country. For example, there are disparities between the Hindu Code and the Muslim Code. Hindu women and Muslim women, although they are all Indian citizens, do not get equal advantages of law. For instance, according to Hindu law, a man cannot have more than one wife, but a Muslim man is entitled to have more than one wife. A Hindu husband or a Hindu wife is required to approach the court to secure a divorce, while a Muslim man is entitled to divorce his wife without the permission or approval of the court. Moreover, a Muslim husband can divorce his wife but a Muslim wife cannot divorce her husband. Besides, a Muslim husband is not required to show [[any reason for the divorce]].”
   “Disparity in the eye of the law is creating all these problems. The root of all these evils lies in the psychological loopholes of the Indian constitution. Why is the constitution allowing the Hindu Code and Muslim Code to stand side by side? Let there be only one code – the Indian Code. This Indian Code should be based on cardinal human values, with a universal approach and Neo-Humanistic spirit. Then only equality before the law can be established in practice, and equal protection of the law for all can be guaranteed. So the constitution should remove the psychological loopholes by eradicating existing disparities in the eye of the law.”

Re: Answer for future healthy brain

Namaskara

Your article on brain diseases and the AM dances given by Baba is very enlightening. I used to do 30 rounds of tandava and 30 rounds of kaoshikii almost daily as long as my job permits me. I am already 57 years and still relatively healthy and could teach whole day without much difficulty. But I just do it in the morning. In your article you mentioned that we need to do it twice. Thanks for the reminder.

Namaskara

हे परमपुरुष! तुम्हारे बिना कृपा कौन कर सकता है, कोई नहीं

प्रभात संगीत 350:- तुमी बिना के वा कृपा korite पारे...

परिचयः- यह गीत भक्ति की अनुध्यान नामक अवधारणा से संबंधित है।

भावार्थः-

हे परमपुरुष! तुम्हारे सिवा मुझे कौन आशीष दे सकता है, कोई नहीं। इस विश्व  में  किसे मैं अपना मान सकता हूँ - तुम्हारे सिवा किसी को नहीं।

तुम्हारी कृपा की चाह में सब तुम्हारी ओर देख रहे हैं।  हे बाबा ! आज मेरे मन से केवल एक ही स्वर निकल रहा है। तुम्हीं सब कुछ हो। तुम्हीं सब कुछ हो। मेरे सभी कष्ट तुम्हारी कृपा के सागर में डूब गये हैं। तुम्हारी कृपा से मेरे सभी कष्ट  दूर हो  गये हैं और सभी  दुख आनन्द में बदल गये हैं।

सभी लोग तुम्हारे दिव्य आकर्षण में तुमसे प्रेम करते हैं, इस लिये नहीं कि तुम परम पुरुष हो और तुम्हारे अनन्त गुण हैं।  वे  इसलिये प्रेम करते हैं  क्यों कि यह तुम्हारी कृपा है , तुम्हारी कृपा हैं।

यह सोचकर कि यह तो मूर्ख है, बुद्धिहीन है तुम उससे घृणा नहीं करते। तुम तो सबके सर्वाधिक प्रिय हो। तुम सबके अनुध्यान हो जो कि सबके हृदयों का वास्तविक लक्ष्य है। इन सभी कारणों से तुम सभी के अंतिम लक्ष्य हो । सभी तुम्हारे निकट आकर संतुष्ठी का अनुभव करते हैं।

हे बाबा! मैं तो सब प्रकार से तुम्हीं पर आश्रित हॅूं। (1)

To blame God: good or bad

Ananda Marga ideology states, "Logically it has been proved that the experiencing of the reaction (karmaphala) of an action cannot be evaded. That being so, blaming God (Bhagaván) for the consequences of our actions or praying to be released from bearing the consequences is only foolishness. One who performs actions will have to bear the reactions also. If you plunge your hand in fire you will surely burn it. To blame God for burning your hand is merely ignorance or stupidity. It is the nature of fire to burn, and whatsoever comes in contact with it will be burnt. Similarly, it is a self-evident law of Prakrti or Her very nature that all actions will have reactions. God (Bhagaván) is not in the least responsible for it. The performer of the actions is responsible for it. The performer of the actions is responsible for the reactions also, since God has not performed the actions. He cannot be responsible for the reactions. It is only people who are responsible for actions as well as for bearing the consequences of these actions." (1)
