We have a surfeit of positive thoughts here. Posts may have lost their daily frequency, but the thread of pride and ego has not been broken. We have twisted every Hukumnama and verse of the Japji Sahib to serve illusions of nationalism. It is time for penance.
Mother India is above reproach, but her children are only mortal visitors on her sacred soil. We Indians have our bad habits. Cognition is the first step towards healing. The Living Guru are forgiving, but we must start on the journey to better living by admitting to our faults.
Miasma rather than today's torts dominate. Just as we inherit skin color and other physical expressions, so also are we born with certain fixed dispositions. The genetics of our minds is essentially the same as that of our bones, sinews, and melanin. That is why we repeat the thinking of our ancestors.
The failure to discriminate between what to cherish and what we should never covet, is in the DNA of India. This warped value-system has prevailed for centuries. It is a bond between generations that we must break now. There is no harm in admiring and experiencing the resources of other countries. However, they can never be substitutes for what God has gifted us.
Mahatma Gandhi referred to the whole world when he said that nature meets all our needs, but not our greed. These are truly words of the Living Guru. India has all the energy that our descendants and we can ever need. Do we repeat history by coveting the minerals and technologies of others instead of cherishing our own?
