Dr. Ambedkar: A divine source of inspiration

Dr. Ambedkar: A divine source of inspiration

Cultivation of mind is the ultimate aim of human existence.”

The one who actually applied this saying in his life is Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.

“In the last five thousand years, such an intelligent person has not been born. -Acharya Rajneesh”

A very intelligent student, a great philosopher, a great person who worked on his own glory, self-respect and usefulness. Taking the helm of the ship of his own life in his own hands. Having clarity and independence of thoughts, as well as an Indian

A great patriot and brilliant activist who broke the inertia in society.

A unique personality who lived a very progressive, positive, purposeful and useful life and therefore remained strong till the last moment of his life.

A water tight compartment was created by creating a caste system in India. Which is against the laws of nature. Unfair to man as a human being. It can be said that it was created  by man . In that too, there are many castes and sub-castes. In which no matter how much you move. No matter what you do.Achieve. You will remain where you were born. Due to this, not only the social fluidity in Indian culture has disappeared, but also the human fluidity has gone.

In addition to this, the theory of karma was instilled in such a way that every person, where he is, is not satisfied, Why am I living this life? If this question arises, then it is instilled that you are the cause of it. That is because of your own Karma.

The theory of karma is a very different matter, but it has reached the society in this way. It is said that you are the architect of your life, but this architectonic power has been blocked in the social circulation.

Today, even after 75 years of independence, if your caste, your caste alone determines how far your journey will go, then What we have achieved, without social inertia? Everyone needs to think about this.

That is why we as human beings have not been able to even till today. Even though we have 5000 years of human culture history.

In this tight social compartment , Dr. Ambedkar, with the power of his unique and brilliant intelligence, broke through all the walls, traveled like the power of electricity. He stood before the whole world as an idolized sun of knowledge. He created the strength for others to break it too.

In my opinion, Dr. Ambedkar is a universal personality. He belongs to everyone. He showed. What is self-respect, self-development, self-glory?

He showed this directly through his own example.The school that denied him admission, the society that denied him life, every school today has Dr. Ambedkar’s image. And every section of society is indebted in the form of the constitution.

My humble opinion always admired what inner motivation of  six – seven year old child who  had completely rejected by all dimensions of life. The answer to that is found in his thinking.

“Hate is the game of a weak mind!”

Masters degree in 11 languages and 64 subjects. LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS awarded him the degree of DOCTOR OF ALL SCIENCE.

He completed his eight-year study at Columbia University in two years and three months, studying 21 hours a day.

It must have been immense humiliation and contempt that  made him self-reliant. This must have been the basic thought of life.-The alone rise that strive.

” उठता वही है जो महान प्रयत्न करता है!

According to him, “Education should be the weapon for emancipation”. People should become independent (विचार बंधन से मुक्त  )through education. By getting education, everyone should be free from religious and ideological bondage. Free from bondage means independent or free . Creating independent thinking is the work of education. He did  that in his life and remained a constant source of inspiration for others to do the same.

We say that every person is a student throughout life, but Babasaheb lived as a student throughout his life which gave him  the title of Guru.

He advocated the argument of utility in education. Whatever is relevant in the past and is useful for me. I should take it from there and put it to use. It is evident from his overall behavior that Babasaheb used the skills that we use today as 21st century skills continuously in his life. That is learn, relearn and unlearn.

Learn, organize and struggle. This is his quote  that is well known. Acquire knowledge. Of what? Knowledge of searching for truth, knowledge of understanding human religion, knowledge of achieving the rights given by nature.

Organize for that. Who should organize? Those who are denied to obtain such knowledge. Struggle. Against whom? Those who closed all these paths of knowledge. Against them. And if today this world is a global village. In this village the doors of knowledge are open for everyone, then this struggle remains only with one’s own ignorance.

If I want to use the formula of learn, organize and struggle in the 21st century, I must be clear that there are tendencies that prevent me from knowledge, from organizing, from struggling. They are in me and in others. Therefore, today’s struggle is as much visible as it is invisible.

Babasaheb emphasized that today’s youth should be as intellectually strong as they are morally strong .In his life, he never stopped at just preaching, but his conduct was also the same.

Even though the reservation he brought is still controversial issue . According to him reservation was necessary to provide equality of opportunity. Because with the reservation  only the person who gets reservation will become rich . But its social benefit will be received  not only in that house, that village, that taluka, that district, but every person in that state will gets it in the way of increasing self-confidence.

Regarding to reservation he goes further  and says, “What would one can do if he had no passion if he got the opportunity?”

He had something in him that he wanted to do something for the society and endure hardships. He could have made his solitary life much more beautiful than this.

Regarding to this, he used to say, “History, destiny gave me the opportunity, so I, forgetting my happiness and sorrow, put my full effort into the development of society so that crores of people could have a humane life!”

Because he had faced inhumanity at every step in his life.

In the words of the famous poet Adam Gondvi,

आईए मेहसूस कीजिए जिंदगी के ताप को

चमारो की गलीमे मैं ले जाऊंगा आपको!!

His logic is like  that he used to say, “If I have to choose between my selfishness and the interest of the country, I will choose the interest of the country. But if I have to choose between the interest of the Dalits and the interest of the country, I will always choose the interest of the Dalits

He brought every Indian to the world stage in the form of the Constitution. The biggest role in it is the fundamental rights of the people included in the Constitution, the Uniform Civil Code, the Hindu Code Bill, the Equal Rights, Act for Women in it, the right to vote, the Labor Act he made – which includes Provident Fund, overtime for those working more than eight hours, dearness allowance, etc.

If we want to see the essence of the life of a person who is a source of inspiration for all activists and others, then we have to see who was the source of inspiration for this person?

Lord Gautam Buddha, Saint Kabir and Mahatma Phule were his sources of inspiration.

Along with his mother. Bhimabai always advised Babasaheb not to quarrel with anyone.

When no doctor came to treat Bhimabai at the time of her death. Only then did he realize “that if there is no one here to cure a physical disease, it means that this is a mental disease that has befallen the society.”

The essence of Ambedkar’s life can be highlighted in Kabir’s couplets.

जाती न पूछो साधु की पूछ लिजिये ज्ञान

मोल करो तलवार का पडी रहने दो म्यान.    .
