Re: why human is fond of Aping ???
Namaste,
I wish I could understand the mentality behind such behaviour myself. I suppose it's not so much aping that bothers me, as it is the thinking behind it. It has been said by some before that there is not a single unique thought or idea in the world. At some point in the past, someone else has believed or acted like X and that it has been adopted ever after by descendants. And that's fine with me, I guess. In the case of school, how else can one learn, if not from textbooks and through one's teacher? The same can be said for spirituality, as you pointed out earlier, Anirvan.
No, what bothers me is what Sahasranama spoke of, this lack of discrimination. Aping for aping's sake. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to follow a fashion trend (bad example as I personally think the fashion world is one of the most pointless things in existence), but I cannot understand why someone would want to wear this or dress like that if they don't even like/agree with it! That's the kind of thinking that completely puzzles me...

"Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny."
