Missing Entity

Current era is about isms, it is about the fight between isms, it is not about right or wrong, it is more about mine is right and other's is wrong. In all this environment of fighting, there is something missing, because of which dialogue is stopped. Some system is missing which will make these various isms to talk to each other.
Let's consider the smallest entity we as a human live in, it is the family. In a family there are parents who look after the daily needs of the family members. Not only the daily needs but also they think about each and every need of the family members. The take care of the mental as well as physical health and the growth of the family members. Parents decides what is good for their family members and what is bad. Accordingly every member of family follows their routine life and contributes mutually to every individual's overall growth. Basically parents or the head of families, and are taking the ownership of the family.
     The larger entity we can think of is the residential society or colony, where the committee thinks of the physical and to some extent mental ( by organizing cultural activities, get-together) or emotional needs of colony members, but it is more focused on fulfilling the facilities as a governing body.
    Looking at the more larger entities like corporations or the state governments or the national governments. As these are government entities, these are mainly concerned about collecting taxes and distributing the funds as and where required as per the priority. Look after the physical progress of the governed area in terms of communication options like roads, railways. Fulfill the basic needs like water, ration, employment, authorities, documents, currency, security, bla bla bla and so on. This list may go up to thousands of items. But all those are related to physical needs of the entity being governed. It does not and it can not take care of the emotional needs. Promoting or encouraging entertainment activities like television, cinema, cultural activities, having various non technical or social courses, arts courses in education these are just some arrangements which may help to fulfill the emotional or mental needs of human being. These things are no where focusing on the emotional development of human being who is going to be a part of matured society.
The education system (monitored by or governed by government) is there, but it's main focus is to educate humans to make them survive by their own. It gives some contribution to make a human with social values and characteristics, who is eligible to live in a society.
There is one more system works for well being of human, the judiciary system. It focuses more on justice. Sometimes it goes beyond justice like it gives guidance to governments in some of the issues but judiciary system is not the system which can think of or act for overall well being of human being. It has to work in the frame of constitution.
Governments in some way owns the well being of human being but is limited to the Nationals of the particular country. So one nation's government can think of or can plan for other nations economic crisis. So it is mostly about business between two nations.
In short there is no system or institution which looks after the emotional needs or mental needs, and is focused on the social growth of the human being. Which is taking the ownership of developing the good leaders with strong ethical values and owns overall human being, and is working for or thinking about well being of all world. To own such a big world, there should be some bigger entity or a bigger system which is well organized. There are many individuals and many NGO organizations which are having such intentions but again they are individual and not such big to take ownership of all human beings. They are again creating more and more isms to have fight between them.
Someone may say that United Nations is made for playing such role, but actually it's not. That's a completely different subject.
  When I say, I am looking for an entity which should think about overall human being, not only human being but also it should own every life in the world. What exactly I am expecting from this entity. May be below questions will give this answer.
1. Who will decide which ism will bring happiness for all human beings. Whether its socialism, communism, nationalism or something else.
2. Who will decide the definition of happy person.
3. Who will decide that the technical/ physical development will only make every individual happy or its making individual more and more unhappy.
4. Who will decide/evaluate if democracy is good, and is making people happy.
5. Who will decide if the culture is good for humanity or it should be destroyed as being said by anti-culture movement.
7. Who will decide the concept of God is good for humanity or its making human being a weak animal.
8. Who should ensure that democracy is in right hands?
9. Can unorganized peoples, who are under influence of various isms, with confused mind, who can sell their votes for money, can ever elect a people oriented government?
10. Who should work to low down the sensitivity index of peoples?
11. Who will decide what innovation is good for people and what is bad? If all the innovations we had till now, were there to make peoples happy then are people happy now? Which innovation will exactly make all peoples happy? Who will decide this?
12. Who should take the ownership of developing a human being with social ethics, social values and a mature leaders who can think of overall human being.
  In any organization, whether its a multi national company, finance corporation, educational organization, manufacturing company, small scale industry etc etc, there is a system or process to drive the organization. Technically top performing people automatically becomes the decision making authorities. But apart from technical knowledge the management considers the one who is mature enough for the position, who is ethical, valued and honest to his job. The education system is to fulfill the demand of these organizations to have technically equipped employees. The current education system doesn't take the ownership of fulfilling the demand of valued peoples. The education system should do it or not is a different question, they may be trying to produce valued peoples but it's not their focus. Family institutions main focus is to make their generations capable enough to survive in this world, that's again through current education system. Family institution doesn't take the ownership to produce a well matured, honest and valued person. All organizations or companies or institutions (even governments) which are in case performing well are actually driven by group of such valued peoples. The values developed in these peoples are by accident. May be the education or family system have their contribution in this development. But fact is, no one has taken the ownership of developing those values. Even all over in the world, all the good governments are being run by these accidentally valued peoples. Isn't it strange.

घडावा संघाचा संस्कार...५

नवीन नवीन सहकार्यवाह झाल्यानंतर काही जुन्यांना संपर्कात आणून परत दैनंदिन कामाच्या प्रवाहित आणण्याची खूमखूमी असते (अशी खूमखूमी असणं चूक आहे असं माझं म्हणणं नाही) तशी ती मलाही होती. अशाच एका जून्या प्रचारक म्हणून थांबलेल्या कार्यकर्त्यांना मी ठरवून पण सहजच भेटणार होतो. मी घर शोधत गेलो, मनात काय आलं माहीत नाही. खूप मनापासून घरी जावं वाटत नव्हतं. जावं का नाही असा विचार करत असतांनाच सचिनजींचा फोन आला काहीतरी कामासाठी. कामाचं बोलणं झाल्यावर त्यांना सांगितलं की ह्या अमूक कार्यकर्त्याच्या घराबाहेर उभा आहे आणि संभ्रमात आहे जावं की नाही, काय करू? ते म्हणाले "जाऊ नकोस, संभ्रम असेल तर जाऊ नकोस, अशा जाण्याचा काही उपयोग होत नाही". त्यांच्या बोलण्याने माझा संभ्रमच दूर झाला. मी लगेच भेटायला गेलो. आपण उपचार म्हणून काही गोष्टी करतो त्याचा योग्य तो परिणाम होत नाही, मनापासून केलं तरच त्याचा योग्य तो परिणाम होतो.

घडावा संघाचा संस्कार...४

मी अभियांत्रिकी च्या शिक्षणाला तुळजापूर ला असतानाची गोष्ट. २००१ ला अयोध्येत कारसेवा करायची आहे असे ठरले होते. बॅच, बॅच नी कारसेवक जाणार होते. लहान असल्यामुळे आधी कधीच मला जायची संधी मिळाली नव्हती, आणि ही संधी मला हातची जाऊ द्यायची नव्हती. मी कुठून आणि कसे आपला नंबर लावता येईल ह्यासाठी प्रयत्न करत होतो. पण मला समजावलं जात होतं की तू अजून लहान आहेस, शिक्षण पूर्ण कर तिकडे लक्ष दे. मला पण ते पटतही होतं, पण असंही वाटत होतं की कदाचित ही शेवटची संधी असेल, नंतर मिळेल का अशी संधी आपला सहभाग नोंदवायची? मी जाण्याचा हट्टच धरून बसलो. आमच्या जिल्हा प्रचारकांशी बोललो, त्यांना सांगितलं मला कसंही करुन जायचं आहे. त्यांना माझी इंटेंसीटी जाणवली असावी, म्हणाले मी बघतो काय ते. तु यमगरवाडी ला व्यवस्थेला येणार आहेस, तिथे भेटून ठरवू. महाशिवरात्रीच्या आधीच्या एक का दोन दिवस आम्ही सगळे मित्र तिथे व्यवस्थेत दाखल झालो. मला भेटताच प्रचारकांनी सांगितलं, की शेवटची बॅच एक दोन आठवड्यात जाणार आहे त्यांच्या सोबत तू जा. मी पण खूश झालो. माझा हट्ट पुरवला गेला होता. पूढचे २-३ दिवस व्यवस्थेत काम करण्यात गेले. कार्यक्रम संपवून आम्हाला निरोप देताना जिल्हा प्रचारकांना परत आठवण करून दिली मी जाणार आहे बरका शेवटच्या बॅचसोबत. ते पण म्हणाले, " जा बिनधास्त जा, माझं बोलणं झालं आहे". तुळजापूरला आलो, जायच्या दोन दिवस आधी काय काय तयारी करायची ते विचारण्यासाठी म्हणून संबंधीत कार्यकर्त्यांकडे गेलो. गप्पा झाल्या पण एक लक्षात आलं की शेवटची बॅच बहुतेक रद्द करण्यात येईल, अजून पाठवू नका असा निरोप आला आहे. थोडा नाराज होऊन रूमवर परत आलो. पूढे मित्र, कॉलेजच्या नादात विषय मागे पडला व रूटीन सुरु झाले. काही दिवसांनी प्रचारकांची भेट झाली, त्यांना कल्पना होतीच, मी परत माझी नाराजी सांगितली. म्हणालो मला जायचं होतं. तसं ते थोडे गालातल्या गालात हसले. मला लक्षात आलं, शेवटची बॅच रद्द होणार हे ह्यांना आधीपासूनच माहीती होतं, किंवा म्हणूनच मला त्या बॅच मधे जायला सांगितलं होतं. मला सगळा डाव कळला. पण लगेच ते पण म्हणाले, "मला पण जायचं होतं पण सूचना आहेत, प्रचारकांनी आपलं कार्यक्षेत्र सोडायचं नाही. काय करणार? अरे आत्ता तूझं शिक्षण पूर्ण कर, नंतर आहेच हे सगळं". मला पण काय कळायचं ते कळलं. आज इतक्या वर्षांनी ह्या घटनेकडे बघीतलं की जाणवतं, एखाद्याला थेट नाही म्हणणं सोपं असतं, पण त्याने तो दुखावला जाईल याची शक्यता जास्त असते. अशा वेळी योग्य पर्याय शोधावा, समोरचा हट्टीपणा करतोय म्हणून आपण तेवढाच हट्टीपणा करायची गरज नाही. कधी कधी 'ठंडा करके खाओ' पद्धत अवलंबली की हवा तो परिणाम साधता येतो.
