4. On Krambaddh Paryaay
As far as Krambaddh Paryaay (henceforth, KBP) is concerned, I don’t know how this -
Can necessarily lead to this -
I would like to draw attention towards just one thing which had been discussed earlier as well - we should not confuse ‘what is the case’ with ‘what ought to be’. Although one can derive both by having a proper understanding of KBP, but more or less, when you talk of KBP, the emphasis is on the former rather than the latter. We get confused when we try to equate the ‘ought’ with the ‘is’ - which is as good as becoming a God - because then there is no other ‘ought’ situation that remains to be achieved. All goals have been accomplished (कृतकृत्य). The ‘ought’ and ‘is’ have become one.
However, in our case, there is a huge difference between what ‘ought’ to be and what ‘is’. So in pursuit of happiness, we are expected to narrow down that gap to a minimum. Will discuss more on this in the last part.
