Aryans and We - страница 4

Any civilization is connected with the prevailing ideology by invisible strings. In return, the ideology should as much as possible address in detail the set of the following issues:

1) How did life originate?

2) What is the meaning of life?

3) What laws govern the material world?

4) How to extend life?

5) How to build a society where everybody could be happy?

6) Why are all living beings born in different conditions?

7) How to protect lucky people from envy and intrigues of unlucky ones?

8) How to protect unlucky people from contempt and violence of lucky ones?

9) What social framework is required for the right interaction in human society?

10) What purpose does the community development serve?

11) What is death and how to meet it?

12) Is there anything beyond the death strip?

The answers on these questions become the basis for the behavior both of each individual and society in general.

On the one hand, one can say that to sustain the existence a living being (or a nation) should ensure:

1) food,

2) rest,

3) reproduction,

4) protection.

To achieve these four conditions of existence, all living beings behave differently. What does the choice of this behavior depend on? The experience shows that this choice determines the further destiny both of an individual and society in general, and the answers on the raised questions have a great impact on aspects of the behavioral choice. In this respect, the Aryan culture is of great interest as it possesses the complete philosophical concept for dealing with the above mentioned questions

We will try to present the Aryan philosophy, the system of values and the social and public structure in order to understand their psychology with the resultant life style.

It is vitally important to study the nature and the psychology of soul as only knowledge of its nature and understanding of its needs can resolve all differences in what is called “life”.

The Author

This is a must for any society to have a philosophical concept based on which it forms its life style. The Aryan philosophy is presented in their Bible, the Bhagavad-Gita. It is the earliest scripture which complete presentation here may not be appropriate. In general, the ideology presented there may be described as follows.

One is born in this world and at first sight it does not depend on him/her in which conditions he/she is born. Someone is born dark-skinned and lives in Africa, someone is red-skinned and lives in America, someone is white-skinned and lives in Europe. One is born in a poor family, another is born in a rich family, one is beautiful, another is ugly, one is healthy, another is ill. All living beings are born in different conditions and they do not have an answer on the question: why does this happen? Despite differences in living conditions, all living beings in this world show three common tendencies:

1) The intention to exist eternally and have the perfect body.

2) The intention to be happy (via pleasures and power).

3) The intention to develop the knowledge (or be always able to acquire it).

By contrasting these three intentions to real conditions in which we live (a temporary and completely defective body; the whole chain of sufferings: birth, illness, ageing and death which cannot be escaped by anyone; imperfect senses which are not capable to give the objective information on the surrounding world), the Bhagavad-Gita leads us to search for a certain element which is the source of the above mentioned intentions of any individual.
