The Ultimate Platform

Man has always been trying to reach where he thinks he owns a place for himself, for a number of millennia now........THE LAST/FINAL PLATFORM! He has been trying for this all these millennia, using all conceivable forms of doing things to be there, where he thinks (or more properly phrased) he belongs to! From time to time this final destination always eluded him, despite all his efforts & attempts in millions of ways! Still, keeping his deep faith in the existence of that LAST PLATFORM or LAST FRONTIER FOR HUMAN BEINGS human beings keep moving......!

The man, when he lived with the minimum pretensions, eons ago, accidentally made fire or he came to know the use of fire; without PATENTING THE USE OF FIRE the entire humanity entered a new era of existence! MAKING FIRE he entered a hitherto new era, hence platform, and started to play with it! From then on human life became different & sophisticated! Discovery of Fire was ofcourse a new platform but never the final one!

THE ART OF PAINTING & THE PERFOMANCE OF DANCE made the human beings reach another platform where they started to assume themselves as something different & exalted! He painted what he thought the perfect copies of what he saw around him & danced as if some divine powers – the ultimate platform! - were making him do it, with frenzy! In this platform too human beings wished for the ULTIMATE PLATFORM where they were immortal!

THEN CAME GOD OR RATHER THEN MAN CREATED GOD! In search of the final frontier for the human kind MAN CREATED GOD IN HIS OWN SHAPE & CHARACTER that in HIM he found himself achieving immortality – THE FINAL PLATFORM, which for the man of that era was not possible in reality! Hence, with the CREATION OF GOD, even though it was through proxy – GOD – he entered the FINAL PLATFORM in illusions!

IF SAID PRECISELY, THE FINAL PLATFORM WAS ALWAYS ABOUT LIVING AS LONG AS ONE WISHED OR IN OTHER WORDS IMMORTALITY! With the creation of GOD human beings PROXY-REACHED THE FINAL PLATFORM, with the help of the IMMORTAL GODS! But in real they died even much before they even started to think about death! Then the continuous search for immortality made them reach MEDICINE! It was a platform ofcourse, but not THE FINAL PLATFORM!

Around 9000 BC DOMESTICATION OF ANIMALS happened! It was something which had never happened before & the way human beings lived till then changed dramatically with it! The systems existed till then gave way to the newly mastered system and human beings started to live according to a new set of rules which changed their living system again! Man started to plan, in the very basic sense of the word, not only for him but for the animals as well & that changed his style of living; in other words the domestication of animals forced more responsibilities on him & made him reach a new platform!

Thinking about a lot of things & doing a lot of things knowingly & unknowingly, about 10000 YEARS AGO HUNTERS BECAME FARMERS! PEOPLE, FOR THE FIRST TIME, SETTLED IN TOWNS & DEVELOPED A NEW WAY OF LIFE – WE CAN CALL IT THE BEGINNINGS OF CIVILISATION! Civilisation was the next platform man entered into with or without his knowledge, as happened in all the platforms he has entered into all his existence!

In 5000 BC BRICK was first used for building! In 3500 BC INVENTION OF WHEEL TO MAKE POTTERY HAPPENED IN MESOPOTAMIA! Around 3200 BC WRITING APPEARED IN INDUS & SUMER & THE FIRST USE OF BRONZE WAS DONE! All these things can be considered different platforms on which human beings have reached one after another, taking enormous quantity of TIME!

The next platform, that of the KINGS & RULING CLASS is supposed to have started with GILGAMESH, THE LEGENDARY RULER in 2750 BC! With this new platform a lot of things changed & almost till date this same system of ruling has been in place, with different appearances & alterations! The impact of the new platform was extremely heavy & it lasted almost 5000 years without much difference is ample proof of its impact on the human society!

What Buddha taught the world 2500 years ago was something which the world had never heard till he uttered it; ofcourse he made the world reach another platform with his great & fantastic thinking! From that point onwards the world was never the same again! What Socrates did was also something platform-breaking, where he emphasised the importance of thought! Still the FINAL PLATFORM eluded the entire humanity!

WHEN WILL IT BE......? WHEN WILL MAN REACH THERE........? WILL SOMEBODY LEAD MAN THERE........? , have always been the questions for which never came the answers! Somehow or the other & knowingly or unknowingly Man has reached one platform after another, continuously, all these millennia! The real questions are “HOW NEAR WE ARE TO THE FINAL PLATFORM?!” & “ISN’T IT THE TIME WE REACH THERE?!” A lot of people have come to this world proclaiming to be the providers of the ultimate solution to the problems of human existence & they vanished without making the human kind reach THE ULTIMATE/FINAL PLATFORM! Thinking about THE ULTIMATE/FINAL PLATFORM what becomes conspicuous is that it will make Man immortal or at the least make/let him live on this Earth till he wishes to move away from here – as is in the HUMANLY CREATED HEAVEN IDEA & IMMORTALITY OF WRITERS/FAMOUS MEN OF DEEDS etc! - & make him happy all his life – another HUMANLY CREATED HEAVEN IDEA!

ALL THE PLATFORMS MAN HAS REACHED, ALL THESE MILLENIA, HE REACHED ONLY DUE TO HIS THINKING CAPACITY/THOUGHT & ONLY THROUGH PERFECT & SPOTLESS THINKING ONE CAN EVER REALISE OR KNOW OR REACH THE ULTIMATE ONE! And, THE GREATEST OF ALL THE SURPRISES IS THAT IF ONE KNOWS –EVEN IN ONE’S THOUGHT- WHAT IMMORTALITY & HEAVEN ‘REALLY’ IS, ONE HAS REACHED THE FINAL/ULTIMATE PLATFORM OF HUMAN EXISTENCE! AND, AT THE LEAST, THE ONE WHO KNOWS IT IS THERE FOR ALL THE HUMANITY!!!
