Anything complex thing or system can come
into existence only out of deep insight and understanding. For example – a
theory like relativity could come up only after rigorous thinking and for
complex thinking to take place very wise people are required and this could
only give rise to sophisticated outputs.
Such wise people [sages] were present in the
ancient India and the result was the complex and obscure sciences [sastras] and they indeed built a
complex society too in the ancient India, the society with many rules,
regulations and customs.
Only a complex system [or instrument] can
do a great job and a simple system [instrument] can do but only a simple job. A
knife is nowhere near an atomic bomb only due to complexity differences. The
purpose of a good society is to breed ‘good’ [less animalistic] and ‘mature’
people. So, if a society is complex and more systematic [with many rules and
regulations] naturally it could breed great [mature] people. Only a systematized
society can give birth to systematic or mature individuals. Can you imagine a
tribal village to produce mature or sophisticated individuals? This could never
happen because unless the system is complex its output can never be complex.
The ancients knew the purpose and value of
life. The sole purpose of the life is to make the inner flower to bloom but, of
course ours life mission is different and for many it is just the sensual
gratification. Consequently with the goal of life in the mind, they developed
their societies that could facilitate such inner growth. So, they had developed
the ancient societies with so many rules, regulations and customs especially in
the ancient India. The caste system too is one such system that facilitates the
inner growth of individuals and is not mindless. This is the reason for the
birth of complex and mature individuals, the spiritual giants like – Ram,
Krishna, Buddha, Mahavir and countless sages in India. No other country in the
world had produced so many spiritual giants – just because they lacked the
complexity of the Hindu societies.
Moreover due to these complexities [rules
and regulations] in the societies, the ancients had lived a happy and peaceful
life unlike the modern individuals. There were not these many crimes, rapes
etc., in the ancient societies only due to these customs, rules and
regulations.
So many rules and regulations are imposed
in the traffic only to make the ‘drive’ easier and joyful but, these are not
mindless rules making the drive complex. So were the rules, regulations,
customs and etc., prevailing in the ancient societies but, they are not useless
and mindless impositions as many modern thinkers feel.
If a kid fails to understand Quantum
mechanics - will that science become rubbish?
