Are you a utility?
Have you seen a robot? How it functions? How it understands?
To get a robot to work correctly, you have to make a proper communication with it, so that it can understand what function you want to perform with its help.
This purpose of communication is done with a program. A program is a set of commands, which make the robot understand what it has to do. For example, if you want the robot to wash your clothes, you have to make it understand, with the help of appropriate program, or if you want the robot to make tea for you, then you have to provide a program that can make a robot understand the methodology of making tea and then it can perform.
But, what is a robot?
It is a utility for you. That is why you need to train the robot or program the robot for your purpose.
In similar fashion you are a utility for the society. You have to serve some purpose or another for the society. Some of you have to become engineers, some
others serve as doctors. Everybody is going to serve in some manner or the other.
And for your purpose society has to train you. And, robots can be trained without giving them any name. Only a program will serve the purpose.
But, to train a human, identification with his or her body and mind must be imposed. A person must be made to have the name for his or her body. Remember, you can only provide a name to the body not to the soul, or what lies beyond personal identification.
A name is to be provided and then by repetition identification is to be created.
I was given the name ‘Nitin’. Then, through repetition of this name by the people surrounding me made me identified with this name and I became ‘Nitin’ for myself.
Now society could program me for the discipline it wants from me. Now society could make me serve some purpose for society.
But, this is a deep question, and because I am a rebel from the beginning. Only a rebel can ask this question. What is my existence beyond the society, beyond the name? Can society give me the answer about who am I, actually?
No! Not at all! No society can solve this question for me; because, this question is associated with my own self, and not related with the society.
A solution to this question can only be given to me by myself alone, not by the society. For the answer I have to go beyond this programming. Only then can I obtain my answer.
So, this is the real quest: who am I?
But, I am sure that I am not Nitin.
I cannot be so small that society can define me by a name.
