Responsible citizens  are we??

We are too busy in collecting and counting our tiny gains,
calling them as achievements in life,
and losing sight of mighty tasks, with eyes closed,

1 leaving things to god and driving him away to get locked in temples and caves, safely undisturbed, to sleep as if he is a sick patient and

2 leaving policies on politicians,
welcoming them with poorna kumbham in to our life
as if they are our holiest saviors

with these two most intelligent escape routes
we now take pleasure in competing in complaining to these old gods and new gods who never did help nor serve the country , excepting filling their own pockets

Having done our ”minimum” duty we expect miracles to happen
and gape in wonder, when things are moving from bad to worse, as if it is a divine drama unfolding,

in numbness ,we see everything as if a tv show

If conscience pricks , by chance, we say
koyee sunthaa nahee khuda ke siva
kuch kiyaa bhee nahee vaphaa ke siva
muzko milaa bhee kyaa sajaa ke siva

oh, by then , it is tea time, lunch time dinner time and sleep time
where is the time for taking all these headache issues like powercut or power of black money
we have our own burdens to take care of ….

we will only see tv updates as if it’s the most essential of life , like oxygen
” conscience is a coward”..some one said
and we so are cowards , remain cowards only to
turn to east pray to god in the hope that kishan will come, since we read somewhere that he said he will come and save, so we relapse into inaction easily convincing ourseves ‘’why not wait patiently?’’ –and we wait till death

  Rise and fall  Getting to the heights involves effort sacrifice dedication.

Falling from heights can happen without effort, if one is not alert

‘’Bharthruhari has said

shiraha sharva swargat pashupatishirastaha kshitidharam 

mahidhra tungadavanimavane shchapi jaladhim| 

adho adho gangeya pad upagata stoka athava vivek 

bhrashtanam bhavati vinipataha shatamukhaha| ‘’

…meaning….’’Ganga fell from sky on to the head of shiva,

from there on the Himalaya ,

and then to the ocean

from there ended reaching the deepest down into the earthThe falling happens in many ways if one alls from the path of viveka /discretion’.భర్తృహరి నీతి శతకం  -ఏనుగు లక్ష్మణ కవి

ఆకాశంబున నుండి శంభుని శిరం, బందుండి శీతాద్రి, సు

శ్లోకంబైన హిమాద్రి నుండి భువి, భూలోకంబునందుండి యస్తోకాంబోధిఁ, బయోధి నుండి పవనాంథోలోకముం జేరె గంగాకూలంకష! పెక్కు భంగులు వివేకభ్రష్ఠ సంపాతముల్! |శా|

…….India did reach the heights, but Indian, chose to only satisfy the four instincts ahar, nidra, bhaya, maithunam

And simply surrendered to the 6 enemies,…kama krodha lobha moha mada matsarya, lost the goal of mukthi

So the solution is to go back to the roots of our culture of tapas, sadhana, under right guidance from sathguru

India is veda bhumi, enriched by great tapasvees, not easy to relive, but is possible if we are serious, shradhavan labhate gyanam

One should become alert, and shift the attention to the real purpose of life from the routine trivialities, and thru sincere efforts the silent transformation can be made possible
