​The Bhutan Observer accomplishes one year of uninterrupted publication in November 2018. It is being seen that increasing number of my friends are attracted to this spiritual bulletin. I have always said that we are all human beings first and then whatever assumptions we take. Human well-being is the central theme of my pursuit and I am trying to contribute in whatever small way possible to raise awareness at least to my level of knowing. Given the scenario where we have tried all exclusive approaches to bring peace in the world and failed primarily because of the divisions, the only hope for us is an inclusive spirituality which alone can bind humanity  irrespective of religion, caste, creed, color, language, gender and any other distinction.  

​What is seen in the entire cosmos are just two things. There could be so many ways to compare and understand the nature of these two entities. But one of the most distinctly comprehended reality is that one is made and the other has always been there – never made. It is the basis of all that is there and by itself does not have any basis. In other words, it is baseless. Grossly seen what is baseless is the creator and the entire physical manifestation is the creation.  

Human society seems to be lost in a maze of desires for quenching their thirsts ceaselessly. But unfortunately,they are not able to define the very object of pursuit despite many years of experiences. While it is an established fact that we want emancipation and freedom from the clutches of sufferings, there is something missing in what we seek for in a daily basis. I have tried to put this human predicament in the lines below with a motive to portray the existing scenario as best as possible. This would hopefully enable us to determine what we actually crave for and achieve what we all aspire for - happiness.  Some of the thoughts put below has been derived from the divine discourses given by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.    ​

​If Shri Krishna, the exponent of the four-fold division of the society, were to descend on earth and see the state of the social structure, he would be shocked to see what people have done to this society. Evils have crept into the society because of vested interests, greed, lust for power and animalistic nature of some of the so-called guardians of the society themselves. Originally Krishna never proposed untouchability, discrimination, harassment and social violence. Even a layman can understand that Lord Krishna, who reigned in this world some 3,500 years ago, is much above these petty prejudices and no texts coming out of his lips ever spell anything otherwise. 

​Historically, Bhutan was divided into petty kingdoms ruled by dharma rajas known as the desis who were religious as well as political heads of the state. Like elsewhere in the world, they engaged in constant battles with the neighboring kingdoms. Dharma was used as a tool to enhance their petty expansionist interest let alone promote spiritual progress. The residue of the spiritual side has come down to us in the form of the so-called dharma we see today. Here is a great need to comprehend what the real Dharma implies in the present context of universality, concept and practice and see spirituality as something distinct from the cultural hangovers.  I have taken insights from Swami Ananda Prabhu and Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev to compile some of the ideas below with anticipation to broaden the horizon of the readers. 
 
There is a general tendency to equate religion with Dharma which is a serious mistake. Religions flourish with a belief system, an established leader, a defined code of conduct which comes in the form of a book or a set of teachings. In sharp contrast to this, Dharma encompasses much broader view of the entire human race not just the followers or believers. It does not demand your obedience nor does it propose belief to any god or a deity or a particular philosophy or scripture. While it can be perceived that religions came to this world undoubtedly with a motive for human well-being during different times in history, the dharma which is popularly known by the name Sanatana Dharma means it has neither beginning nor end. Here God is not the ultimate goal rather Mukti or Liberation is.  It is said that there were thirty-three million gods and goddesses but that was when the population was so much and culturally everyone had the freedom to make their own deity or Ishta Devta loosely translated in English as demi-god. It is essentially a Godless culture because there was not a single God we were following. And all we seek is the divine. In a nutshell it can be clearly said that what we want is to know the truth and realize our true nature. Given that we must discard the false identity that we attach ourselves and realize our pure humanity as a stepping stone.
