DARKNESS to DARKNESS

Back then, a few centuries ago, the continent of Africa was described as dark by the civilising zealots pointing out to its enigmatic geography and demography. We are all very well aware of the scramble that followed leading to the geometrical colonial boundaries.
We held a different meaning in our minds for a very long time on the term ‘White Man’s Burden’. Much later did we realise what it actually meant, to be Confucius, post decolonisation. Africa was darker than before. Unscientific boundaries leading to perennial civil wars and conflicts, underdevelopment and colossal neglect of human being meant persistent poverty illiteracy and disease.

Nah to Nuh

Sanity, please prevail. Afterall we are all humans with those same imperfect sense organs creating false and misconceived notions of fear and insecurity (which is perfectly exploited by the vested interests unfortunately). Can we choose to grow beyond it? Can’t we focus more on things that actually matter for an aspirational country like ours to become a great power? Millions of our countrymen still suffer on the count of things as basic as Roti, kapada and makaan. No amount of mud-slinging and none of the dirty blame games are going to help matters. As an ancient civilisation that was a birth place of some of the major religions of the world, isn’t it our duty as Indians to be the torch bearers of the values of humanity and religious tolerance?

Have you seen God?

The same question was asked by the young and aspiring Narendra to Debendranath Tagore during his days with Brahmo Samaj. The latter praised the man’s inquisitiveness and said nothing else. And this time, when the same question was asked to Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, he replied without hesitation that he had seen God but only more clearly than he could see the questioner. Well, the seeds were sown and the fruits of which we experience today even when their roots much older than the seeds itself, once again germinated to serve the mankind. Swami Vivekananda would later point out - Education is the manifestation of perfection already present in man.
