Synopsis

Instinctual response of any human being is security. So he tries to hind security in identity with family, property, group, caste, nation, belief systems and religion. But the very identity with all these lead duality, contradiction, conflict, war. One needs physical security but is there any need to psychological security? The very pursuit of psychological security leads to insecurity. Are humans individual psychologically or is it the creation of thought through condition to create concept of individualism which leads to so much disorder. Existence has no doer-ship but action goes on and on. So individualism is against existential movement and so there is so many problems when action arises from a individual psychological center instead of responding from consciousness without a center. So what actually formed to have security and certainty is bringing us insecurity and uncertainty because it is bringing conflict along with it. From physical security we turn to psychological security. Action born out of psychological center is ibviously incomplete because the center itself is limited and so such action is bound to lead to conflict. It has a motive behind it. Spontaneous action has no motive and so there is no eye on fruit of action and so “doer” who is the fundamental factor of separation between human beings is not born and such action is complete. Spontaneous action is pro-existential and such action never leads to conflict and contradiction. Action born out of psychological center is anti-existential and so is bound to produce conflict.
