Laws on social dynamics
Brief
In the seminal discourse on laws of social dynamics,
Sarkar takes creation's relativity into new dimensions of existential
being and socio-cultural change. The following are a few observations
that may be deduced from the laws presented in the discourse.
1. No unit entity moves independently or absolutely,
rather its existence depends on an external witnessing entity; mobility
of an entity depends on the mobility of others and is of relative
nature.
2. Unit entities cannot properly assess the movement of
their own life. Rather, the movement that unit entities feel as their
own cannot be called movement at all as their movement is always
dependent on the witness-ship of an eternal entity.
4. Unit entities are created by and move through cosmic
mind-stuff, which is the creation of the Macrocosmic Mind. Their
relative movement is propelled by their inherent reactions in
potentiality (sam'skara) impressed on their microcosmic
mind-stuff by previous actions and experiences.
5. The stance of absolute and witnessing immobility is
beyond the vibrational functioning of the universe and resides with the
Macrocosmic Entity alone. Only this Supreme Entity can apprehend the
movement of unit entities.
6. Through spiritual practices unit entities can develop
their existential being and become that Macrocosmic Entity that
witnesses the movement of all unit entities.
7. All movements, actions, are systaltic, i.e. they move
in a wavelike manner. It means that all life consist of a never-ending
series of phases of manifestation and degeneration - ups and downs.
8. When the waves of the macrocosm move in parallelism,
it is called the natural movement of the macrocosm.
9. When the waves travel faster, it is called
advancement or progress of the unit mind.
10. When the waves of the microcosm lose parallelism
with those of the Macrocosm or move in the opposite direction, it is
called the degeneration of the unit entity. This relative immobility of
units is independent on other's mobility, resulting in staticity in unit
and subsequently collective movement.
11. In the throngs of degeneration, an entity,
individual or collective, will either die or take new shape with a fresh
movement, depending on the entity's personal factor.
