Thought for Republic Day

Hai India is a big republic celebrating its 61st Republic day today.(26.Jan.2011)

In the name of development we are doing many things which are in fact harming us.

Infrastructure development:

In the cities & its suburbs - real estate is the biggest business. Every nook & corner is being converted in to residential & commercial apartments. Many Many agricultural lands are being converted in to housing plots there by killing the greenery & food source.

India during 1920s had just 30 Crores of people have added another 100 Crores to its tally. Land size of India has shrunk ceding to China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Lesser area & more population- so we all have to fight for the common resources - FOOD, WATER etc...

It is time we stop this commercialization & huge buildings & return to the basic needs of a man.

Increasing automobiles= increase in speed = increase in accidents= increasing deaths :

Every day lakhs & lakhs of motorcycles, cars, vans, autos are filling up the road. India, is very much less sensitive to traffic discipline including fast growing Gujarat. Value of Human life is very minimal. Everyday thousands are dying on the road, several thousands are maiming themselves. Why this madness ? When we drive on the road, people zoom past us.

What is the value for a life ? No walking space for pedestrians.

Is this speed for money? Most of the accidents are happening because of arrogance & ignorance. We drive on the road as if we cannot waste even a single second. But we waste lot of time on chatting, sms-ing, watching Mega serials, cricket or fighting with others - this we do in terms of hours. Moment we step out on the road, we act as if we cannot waste even a single SECOND.

polluted atmosphere, water, adulterated food, Un-hygienic lifestyle

India is being used by Indians just as a scrap yard. Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri etc.. are all being used just as drainage canals. Nearly 50% of population is malnutritioned. Balance 50% is using adulterated food. One side is Puny & other side the problem is obesity.

We keep widening roads, build bridges & cut all trees in the name of development. This is not development- it is just suicide. Increasing Human Population itself is a Pollution, added to that Vehicle Population, wastes generation are becoming a big burden on this earth.

CORRUPTION :

India could be called as the CORRUPTION CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. Our political leaders, Judges, Newspapers & people on the whole system are mostly corrupted. Right from appointment of President to the Peon is by corruption. What these people are going to do with all these Money? This is one of the root cause for most of the problems today.

We can add many more. This article is not meant for pessimistic grumblings.

This is to show the energy we need to be very optimistic. WE are all divine beings.

But it is temporary loss of memory. We are all being tested on the way we react towards anything around us. It is an easy path to be corrupt, make money illegally, build several buildings, and make many concrete jungles. It is really tough to be simple, down to earth to live with what we need - simple house, simple clothes & fundamentally with simple food.

Let us go to the Basics. Lead a simple life. Contemplate why we are here? We are here to truly see ourselves in everyone. Without discrimination Love every being. It is easy to say, but very difficult to practice & really feel. Many masters have come down on earth to teach us the same with Love. We are all divine souls & let us all radiate our goodness from within to make a brighter India, brighter world & brilliant universe, bliss filled cosmos.

Jai Hind, Jai Being, Jai Light, Jai awakening.
