THE FIFTH HEAD OF BRAHMA

Often sucked into reading what people term as mythology, i read about this fascinating story of a fifth head of Brahma ( creator ).

Human race has been giving form to the formless since ages, its ironical that something like ego which only resides in human beings has not been given its due share. We eat, preach, dream, repeat and still havent built temples for it. Ego resides in the darkest of our recesses and still colors our universe with thousands of hues against nothingness. Without Ego, epics like Mahabharat and Iliad would never have been written. The greatest epics in human history couldn't been such a treat without the existence of ego. 

We have come across personalities ravaging civilisations, killing thousands and destroying some of the best works of art and literature and we have also come across those masquerading philanthropists  trying to get their names in the books. The more the crystalised, bigger the sack of ego. The more diffused the more content.

  

In my journey, I come across and also live by an imagined structure created by us, for us and of us. Over centuries such imagined structures however evil or righteous are always fueled by ego. Be it Hammurabi, Nazism, Caste system, Capitalism, equality etc etc.

Gender is a big part of that imagined structure and germination of such imagined structures pivots to ego. Ego has such a huge everchanging spectrum that the imagined structures of the past are bound to be crushed to give space to new imagined structures of the future.

The rise of LGBT is part of that imagined structure. Contrary to elevating ourselves from the trudges of gender, we have achieved in creating one more. They have their own festival, their own pubs, their own identity, their own flag and maybe tomorrow their own code. A perfect recipe for a new age religion. And why leave the new age messiah, the Vegans. Most of them i met claim that the future belongs to them. Again nothing bad about them but everything pivots to creating one’s own different identity against the existing structures. It feels good to be different and romanticize the new age of capitalism. Yes they all are virtuous, righteous and will show you the light at the end of the tunnel.

Iam completely for these new structures, nothing bad as we need new structures to color our coming future. Then why have we traumatised and demonised ego which has fueled and given the human race so much. We have had so many rivers like islam, budhism, christianity, hinduism etc etc invoking us to take a dip and renounce the I but we choosen not to. Its clear, we might want to desist the stench of corruption which  ensues from them now. We have been successful in creating newer offshoots to suit our needs and thats very important for wheels of creation and destruction to rotate.

 

 They say that love and ego cannot co-exist, iam no saint every ounce of me loves when i render The Fifth head of Brahma - EGO.
