Krishna VS Freud

More or less this is a related perspective rather a “Versus” one. Sigmund Freud, as the world calls him, the “the father of psychoanalysis", was a medical expert and psychiatrist from Germany. Sigmund Freud, physiologist, medical doctor, psychologist and father of psychoanalysis, is generally recognized as one of the most influential and authoritative thinkers of the twentieth century.

Those who know about Freud, might be surprised to see his name coming up with Krishna. But that is the point, this article is presented.

We all are suppressing ourselves. We are not breathing; we are behaving like dead bodies. Day by day, we are becoming mechanical robots, who can work for 24 cross 7 but cannot think, breathe, feel or sense. Those who are left alive are getting dull and dull everyday having unbearable pressures from our system. Our system presses us to behave like robots. Suppression was one major hidden area in which Freud leaves an exceptional imprint by his dedicated and remarkable work. He is known for his experiments, research and writings in the field of suppression. Freud says, Suppression should be thrown out of us. Suppression and Repression towards life creates more and more complicated humans. Freud also explained the cause and meaning of Dreams. Dreams, which he called the "royal road to the unconscious," provided the best access to our unconscious life and the best illustration of its "logic," which was different from the logic of conscious thought. Freud developed his first topology of the psyche in The Interpretation of Dreams (1899) in which he proposed the argument that the unconscious exists and described a method for gaining access to it.

Let’s see how Freud relates to Krishna. Krishna, as we now know (I hope), is the perfect man and lives his life in a super perfect and correct manner. He is not suppressing anything, neither otherwise. Crossing the boundary of suppression is one important gem to be learned from Krishna. Freud also acts as a fighter against suppression and provides all the necessary evidences. He is helping Krishna in fighting against suppression. He is trying to eradicate this enrooted disease of choosing few things and repelling few things. He is walking on one important principle shown by Krishna. It is very disappointing to see that Freud is not accepted with pride, though he is helping the humanity in an area which requires enormous courage and bravery. Freud is like a Bomb which explodes on the society and destroys all the causes of suppression. People started to think in this sector only after Freud’s theories. Though Krishna is saying lot more things, but let us also welcome Freud with the same respect and pride and try to explore his theories and understand them.

Even if 15% of the world gets free of suppression then Freud has done his job.
