Champak Waves by Ramesh Chandra Mukhopadhyaya

Cancel Sometimes you feel that you have nothing to do you have nothing to think over you have nothing to say and despite that you have to do something you have to think something you have to speak something and you slip into the world of the absurd.The absurd world is right before you. The absurd is what is. You live despite yourself. Yes there is no meaning in living. Everything in this existence is transitory.Every achievement is transitory. Every relationship is brittle.Every hope and every aspiration is momentary. Our aims change their names every hour. Such reflections are cliché.But suppose if I could conjure a world where all that I wanted would be there never to vanish from my possession.Would I get back the zest for life. A world where everything is permanent is the world of the dead.If I had Prime Minister Manmohan ever on his knees before me…Horrible!! I need some space where I could remain alone.Well if there were nobody to love me or quarrel with me no trees no birds no skies no earth. Then I would be the God—all one.Would I like to live in that case?Why should I live even if I were the God. People believe in God. People vouch that they know for certain that God is. Well there are monotheists. They claim there is one God who rules over the world. Well if I were that God how long should I play with the world or the universe or the multiverse. To become God could be a noble aim. But when you become God you become tired of ruling the world.If a God is there to rule the world through eternity he is a poor fellow indeed He is dullard. Pity him. Because the God as conceived by the monotheists cannot die even if he finds the play of ruling the multiverse as dull drudgery.And if the God cannot die , if the God cannot commit suicide he is surely not God because he is not omnipotent. He is just like me who cannot die despite his death wish. Just as the God has the power to destroy the world so should he have the power to destroy himself.In fact one who knows how to destroy the other the universe being the other to the God knows to destroy himself. But once the God knows to destroy others and destroy himself he is no God . Because he is not eternal. Let me tell the monotheists that if there is one God who rules the world and if he has nothing el.se to do he is no God. Again if he has other things to do , that is if he is actuated by desires yet to be realised then he is no better than what Tom and Dick are Again seen from another angle if the God cannot destroy himself how can he destroy the world? So if there is anything called God which is deathless and all powerful the world is deathless too. If both the God and the world were eternal then everything whatever we see touch feel taste and hear is god . So the existence is but peopled with myriads of gods. There are no men no chimpanzees no protozoas. Or else every chimpanzee every protozoa every man every electron is god deathless and eternal. In that case our births and deaths are illusions and the world is a welter of gods ever quarreling and fighting and making love with one another That transforms the world into the realm of the puranas, No no I donot want to be a protagonist of any purana be it Indian or Hellenic Again if the world and the God are both eternal and omnipotent then both are the same person. Because two persons cannot be seated in the same space. Then monism seems to be the truth. But what use becoming the God when nothing else exists. People want to be left alone sometimes. I myself enjoy loneliness. But loneliness exists because friendship exists kinship exists. I want to be lonely because I have friends and I donot want to stay with them. But when God alone is he cannot enjoy loneliness even. Because he has no friends. If God does not touch anything taste anything see anything enjoy anything what is he? If God alone is he is not there.So there is no point in trying to become God. If you have nothing to try for at least you could try to die. But alas alas you cannot die before your death in most cases. It needs a different mettle to commit suicide. With us who cannot commit suicide those who commit suicide have something heroic about them . Now a days there is the notion of welfare state. Not only that the comity of nations are committed to the welfare of all men . There is the notion of human rights. Let those rights include the right to suicide. The welfare states are supposed to shell out doles to the unemployed. Let them also dole out death. They are doing it in the wromg way. Think of the events in Maarichjhanpi during the Left Front rule in West Bengal. The government drowned at least hundred boats carrying the refugees who were first hounded out from Bangladesh and sent to Dandakaaranya and then invited to West Bengal to meet violent death. I donot want to meet a vio;lent. Death. This is a manifesto where I ask for the right to death as one of the human rights and where everyone has the right to die peacefully. Just think of those who peacefully embrace death lawfully drinking some drug to the drains. One minute past they sink Lethewards. What is Lethe? It is a ceaseless wavy movement of unending fragrance It is champak champak all the waves. The end of an absurd life. The absurd world and its accompanying absurd God and gods are transformed into waves of fragrance and you get drowned in them once you use your right to death. Sometimes you feel that you have nothing to do you have nothing to think over you have nothing to say and despite that you have to do something you have to think something you have to speak something and you slip into the world of the absurd.The absurd world is right before you.
