The future of civilization by P. R. Sarkar
Modern minds are often perplexed by the fear and doubt of the
extinction of the human race within a short period. People deemthat
civilization is passing through a very critical phase and there is no
possible escape from its total annihilation. But thiscan't happen.
Both individuals and society are dependent on three factors for their
existence, viz., Asti, Bhati and Ananda. Dwelling place, food,
clothing, education and medical facilities are the sine qua non for
Asti or existence. The term Bhati means Vibhati or development and
progress. The mere earthworm for instance, has existed for hundreds of
millions of years, yet it does not signify existence in the true sense
of the term. That is to say, there has to be Bhati, progress and
development. Eating, drinking and being merry cannot represent a true
life. It would be an encumbrance, a boredom.
For the all-round development of an individual or a society a goal is
needed. But for this determined goal the direction and purpose of
development will remain confused. A bud blooms into a flower; this is
what you may call its development. The purpose of Bhati or development
is the attainment of Ananda or bliss. The term Ananda connotes
infinite happiness, the equipoise of pleasure and pain, the perfect
mental peace.
