Ranchi, Gumla: In a thought-provoking address, RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) chief Mohan Bhagwat captivated the audience in Bishunpur village, Gumla, Jharkhand, with a powerful message on human aspirations and continuous self-development. His statements, delivered during a village-level worker conference on Thursday, delved deep into the human psyche and its quest for transcendence.
The Quest for Superhuman and Divine Status
Bhagwat articulated a philosophical journey of human aspirations, stating that as individuals progress in their self-development, they often seek to surpass their humanity. He remarked, “A human desires to become a superman in the course of self-development. After achieving that, the aspiration shifts to becoming a deity, and subsequently, a god. This pursuit of becoming a universal form, or Vishwaroop, is endless. Whether there is a limit beyond this, no one knows.”
He emphasized that true progress encompasses both external achievements and internal growth, and this process is perpetual. “There is no end to development. After cultivating human qualities, the aspiration for supernatural capabilities emerges. This relentless drive is a testament to the boundless nature of human evolution,” he said.
Unyielding Effort for Humanity
Mohan Bhagwat encouraged relentless effort in various fields crucial to human welfare. He asserted, “One should not be satisfied with their work. Continuous effort in environment, education, and health is vital. The essence of Sanatan Dharma lies in the welfare of mankind, and we must make the world as beautiful as nature itself.”
Bhagwat’s vision for societal development stresses that tireless work is the only solution. He urged, “Our work should never cease. We must strive to enhance the beauty and well-being of our world, reflecting the intrinsic values of Sanatan Dharma.”
Political Reactions and Interpretations
The philosophical insights of Bhagwat did not go unnoticed in political circles. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh took to social media platform X to share his perspective on Bhagwat’s statements. He posted, “I am sure that the self-proclaimed non-biological Prime Minister must have got the news of this latest Agni missile, which Nagpur has fired from Jharkhand targeting Lok Kalyan Marg.”
Cultural and Social Reflections
Bhagwat’s address also highlighted the roots of Sanatan culture and its enduring relevance. “Sanatan culture and religion have not emerged from palaces but from ashrams and forests. While our attire may change with time, our fundamental nature remains constant. Adopting new methods to continue our work and services is essential in changing times. Those who maintain their nature are truly developed,” he explained.
He called for collective efforts to uplift the marginalized, particularly in the education and health sectors, underscoring the backwardness of tribal communities. “Much work needs to be done for the tribals, especially in education and health. Everyone should work tirelessly for the welfare of society,” he urged.
Mohan Bhagwat’s profound insights and calls to action resonate with the timeless values of Sanatan Dharma, urging a continuous pursuit of both personal and societal development. His address serves as a reminder of the endless journey of human aspiration and the perpetual quest for a better world.
