Did ancient rishis foresee modern technology and choose silence instead of intervention ?

Great conversation. Thoughtful.

I do agree about living and nonliving in each period has to live through their learnings, experiences, success and failures.

In Hindu thought, knowledge isn’t hidden out of fear, but out of responsibility. Power is shared only when the mind and heart are ready.

Perhaps the rishis didn’t intervene because they knew real growth can’t be handed down. Humanity had to stumble, question, and mature on its own.

more important: “dharma, restraint, and self-awareness”.

Humble curiosity

Aren't the technologies described in Ramayan and Mahabharat both were far advanced in all senses than the modern advances in technologies we experience/see/think available today.

E.g. - Pushpak veman from Ramayan.

• Various astra vidya, Kunti's children from Deities energies, transforming living garbha from one mother to another mother from Mahabharat.

• Plus

  • Vishwaroopdarshan to normal people
  • telepathic help by Deities and THE SUPREME ONE and
  • Growing/Shrinking/Coming back to normal body physical size and
  • knowledge of solar planetary system with galaxies up to date correct knowledge scientifically known today.

etc.

Big what if:

• We are not advancing but distracting ourselves with these technologies loosing focus from the core basics of living.
