Amitabh Bachchan shares ‘prosthetic wisdom’, asks to focus on self-growth
Mumbai, Feb 26 : Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has shared a thought-provoking note, where he spoke about what he termed as “prosthetic wisdom” and the human tendency to misunderstand deeper truths.
Big B took to his blog, where he shared a picture of himself as the character of Ashwatthama from the upcoming film “Kalki 2”.
The cine icon shared that sometimes what is written or said “goes for a bouncer,” with the real meaning failing to register. He hinted that certain truths, no matter how clearly expressed, are not easily understood, adding that perhaps that is simply the way of the world.
“Isse pehle jo likha, sab ka sab bouncer gaya, Ji haan huzoor, bouncer. Kisi ko bhi jo asal baat kahi ja rahi thi, samajh mein hi nahin aayi, achha hai. Kuch baatein batane se bhi samajh mein nahin aati logon ko; sansaar ka ravayya yahi hota hai. Khair, jaane do (sic).”
Reflecting on knowledge and achievement, he wrote: “You can never be the wisest , the most knowledge driven , the most accomplished human ever .. there shall ever always be another better than you .. know it , accept it and be in learning to keep at it (sic).”
The veteran actor also underlined that it is far better to focus on one’s own abilities and push oneself towards personal horizons rather than attempting to step into someone else’s life to acquire what can never truly be yours.
“Better to be at it than to , slink into the other humans life to acquire .. that can never be your own .. so delve deep into your assets and drive the body to its ultimate horizon .. which incidentally never does get reached .. Oh ! what a lovely world we live in .. prosthetic wisdom (sic) !!!”
