~ It's Time to Rise and Shine ~
We as spiritual beings or souls come to earth in order to experience the human condition. This includes the good and the bad scenarios of this world. Our world is a duality planet and no amount of love or grace will eliminate evil or nastiness. We will return again and again until we have pierced the illusions of this density. The purpose of human life is to awaken to universal truth. This also means that we must awaken to the lies and deceit mankind is subjected to. To pierce the third density illusion is a must in order to remove ourselves from the wheel of human existences. Love is the Aswer by means of Knowledge and Awareness! |
Letter to US Government - War on Iraq The World is generally aware now as to what would be the next US move in world matters and US foreign policy stands fully exposed now.How a stubborn and indisciplined child would behave in a school classroom becomes obvious to the mates over the years. The speeches coming out from its leaders are not of creating confidence but reflect arrogance. Statements are firm and clear indicating that there is no thinking going on for building peace but all close door meetings are just to emphasise resolve to destablize the world peace process. Tony Blair leaves some hints of how secret discussions are going on by suddeenly emerging out to press and media. When this happens it is certain that war plans of US are in advance stage. Next we could expect Blair's, one day trip to Washington. If this happens in near future I would put the date of full scale attack on Iraq within a week from the date Tony is seen in US. Those on whom rests the safety and survival of the race are now acting in an irresponsible manner. There are certain species that feed on their own hatched aggs or eat them up whom they give birth. Threat has positioned itself to dangerous levels and it is for simple honest toiling masses to put a stop to this. It is as simple as how do villagers control a man eating leopard that suddenly pounces on unware people or their animals. This increasing menace if not checked would take many more lives and spread more divide and venom in already precarious community health. In order to find a bandit, those who govern a nation do not move tanks in streets to risk the lives of so many innocent people. We should stop and think who is a terrorist and are not our efforts to apprehend an 'outlaw' creating more problems of mistrust, hatred, threat to freedom, liberty and human rights? Our wit and intellegence is creating more chances of war. Do we ask ourselves that if Buddha, Jesus, Gandhi, Thresa were living today would they have approved what the governors of the leading nations are doing now for the race. Is it not clear that the preparations made for war that will risk many innocent lives, have no hand of you and me and the rest of society. Just a handful of people you can count on your finger-tips, are deciding the fate of a country and its millions of people? It is clear insurgency and acts of treason towards a society that is already ridden with host of other problems of poverty, health, sanitation, jobs and better future. So insensitive are these bunch of people in governance that they do not pause and think of immense trail of aweful pain and agony they leave after accomplishing their devilish deeds. It is time to 'cage' such monsters. What is the logic of using the fantastic flying machines deviced to pound a defenceless innocent people on the plea that regime change is needed. Have all other avenues of astute diplomacy exhausted? Have you considered and used all options available at your disposal? These unfortunate events have increased after the end of cold-war. US policy makers are under devilish pressure to assume the presence of an eternal enemy somewhere. If it is not Russia now then let us creat Osama. We can not and would not catch him as their would end our game plan. A pre-conceived and partisan diplomacy being carried on by US in middle east and in other parts is not hidden from the keen observant eyes. If no efforts were spared in palestine crisis to have joint meetings, visits of delegations, calling its leaders on table for discussion then why this is not done in case of Iraq. It makes illetrate villagers in Nepal and India to laugh at the plea that sitting more than 5000 miles away Iraq poses a potential threat to US and Britain. The difficult task of restoring order is now left to Secy Gen Kofi Annan alone and it seems the end of an un-started US diplomacy for Iraq. Yesterday, 13 Arab states have pledged their support to Iraq and more will do. It is not a happy situation for trigger-happy uncle Sam who think the technological advantage it has now over the rest of the world, gives US the right to inflict mass injuries and desrupt the lives of millions beyond repair. More than 6 billion helpless people are watching these naked agressions of a country who silently derives the morbid pleasure in thinking that inventions and superiority in armaments gives it a right to exibit it power by deploying men and machine on super highway to threaten people to win more honor and globalise its domain of influence of arrogance like a villian...who has a greater right to grab.because he is more powerful, richer, advanced and has new weapons in hand. We are living in strange times when morals, ethics and finer codes of life are burried delibrately by those in power. In older days kings and monarchs used to lead their armies and they used to inspire their people. It did not matter to them if they would return dead of alive from the battle field. Wars were a real test of bravery then and smaller and weaker states were not attacked. If at all it happened in our history Ganges Khan and Missoloni are not remembered with respect. If they have a good logic to defend their country on a valid reason, even today populace of a nation would cheer them if Presidents are asked to come on the ring and fight out the blood duel like WWF that world can watch. Where are UN declarations and where are the laws of International Conventions ? Where are the principles of justice, truths and fair play, law of ethics, human rights, Divine Commandments and rules of war- when we employ weapons of killing for revenge on innocent ! There are hundred percent chances of this conflict to assume more dangerous proportions when started and would engulf other areas on earth that US War Machinery is unable to think at this moment. A home destroyed with a few family members killed during aggression, takes a life-time to recover from the shock, sorrow, pain, agony, suffering, loss and misery it bears. If USA believes in God or a Superior providence governing this whole universe and the Ten Commandments, then how can its policy makers be so dead to gross denial of the rights of other weaker nations, threatened by the blasts, who run the risk of radiation, death, pollution, famine, dearth, disruption, loss and even direct hits with missiles.Mis-aimed victims in Afghanistan are a recent case. There are talks being suppressed about the mass human graves. Who pays the damage done ? The risk increases many fold now and may be inevitable in a war with Nuclear engines of the latest types. If the war is started more than 6 billion people on this earth would know that US has no respect - to the moral values, human rights and can deploy the weapons so as to cause grievous harms to a distant soil and wreck and ruin them beyond repair. Can anyone from US Government justify such acts of lethal agressions planned and being exibited on this planet. Humanity wants to live in peace, abundance, prosperity, love and trust and I would suggest those agressive leaders and war commanders to satisfy their mad itch by finding a city sized asteroid in space, gather all their arms and warring factions, divide there in two groups there and fight the bloody battle till end using all the latest technology at their disposal. If a few still survive they can come back on earth and we shall honour them like valiant soldiers who spared the humanity atleast or we must have the law or even convention deviced and written in the books that would permits a powerful state, wittingly or otherwise, to blast a neutral land with irreparable losses of life and property to its innocent civilians. If there is no other way for peace then let leading nations think of such a law before billions of people, living in fear,uncertainty and imposed poverty start putting claims of damages done to the delicate fabric of their brain cells and such damages may amount to quad-trillions of dollars to be paid by the state to rest of humanity. Even the agreed war standards do not permit what the helpless humanity is made to witness now.The use of Weapons against innocents is a crime. No argument or logic can defend which is un-defendable till the end.. I hope more than ninety percent nations and law abiding citizens still would condemn what is happening now. What if the game is turned topsy-turvey suddenly for United States. Could USA control the down-slide of economies in many countries witnessed in last two decades. Is US not worried about its own economy now. Policy makers in Washington are counting on their armaments and economic ascendancy, their sure survival chances and ability of overpowering of the foe. They want to see the dream repeated every time and it is the big mistake they are doing and may reap the fruit of their revolt against the laws of Nature by paying forfeit with their robes and gowns, for such a murderous frenzy will soon grip the crowds that they will stop at nothing and may rise in rebellion against the a few in power who will be out-and-out at once for war to end. An average US denizen is no longer dis-interested in what their leaders are doing. A week from now, the world would mourn the loss of lives of more than 3000 innocent people in WTC attack. Can someone repay the loss in real sense. Yes, we may provide 16 acres and lots of money but life and all it brings with it is more than this dear friend. This should have been a clear message to the think tanks in US and elsewhere and should have provided a clear hint to know that our own compatriots shall continue to live with a dread sword hanging over their heads because of theirs acts that go against peace. The pregnant mothers, crowing babies and toiling hardworking simple honest folks who are contended and delighted to be moving and alive, can all instantly be hurled into hell for no fault on their part, no sin, no wrong, no action done to merit such an end save that of cheering loud the ruling teams whenever they chanced to pass their way or when they saw their leaders in a gala function held to listen the words that they had to say, without least knowledge of their hid designs or actions or what they intend to do. A state of trust unparallel on earth but returned often from other side alone and sometime repaid with treachery by those adorned. It is time now to give a sober reflection and rewamp the social sciences research institutes to find out why these institutes have failed in their job to provide a lasting solution for safety, survival and progression of the communities. None upholds this kind of war and mass murders from a distance of the folks of hostile lands, in big numbers, unarmed, defenseless women, children, men.and it means and it is a crime and people who are responsible for this are liable to be subjected to trials under criminal laws of inflicting heinous crimes. And be it a Church, temple or a Mosque, if they uphold a way of life which contravenes Gospels of faith and acts conversely to precepts taught or revels in defying all rules that does not mean that the adherents of the creed are right in their behavior, in the least or true to their profession or belief. We suppose that United States believed in upholding ideals that confer equality on one and all with liberty and brotherhood and still there may be much sanity left in the system. This is the duty of evry citizen on this earth to show to its leaders the ugly darker side of their behavior or their thoughts or acts and to stop them from ignoring their errors and justify mistakes. There is much sorrow and misery in this world and still humanity has to do a lot for better lives of billions of others who live whole of their lives below half a dollar a day. Strange is our time that pampers and cuddles cats and dogs in our homes but is not concerned about millions dying of hunger by self centered activities of just a few thousands on this earth. These are grave signs of concern to fast depleting erosion of our moral side. Actions done by leaders and policy makers today, are to be restrained by strict adherence to moral laws or else they would soon draw human race to a verge of collapse with no return. What has happened in the world during last less than 2 years and recent absence of Mr. Bush at Johannesberg is a warning sign that the crisis has deepened. Leaders of the world! change your ways. Policy advisors ! retain your sanity and halt this made preparations for exploding bombs. You may be suddenly surprised when desired ends are not achieved and some unprecedented situations arise to take you by surprise by many states getting involved in give and take exchange of death engines, with wounded, dying or dead everywhere. Your leaders whom you advice may go bankcrupt and be totally out of their wits to control the situation with thousand problems in their minds when cities are turned into citadels of mortal fear, people running in panic, dead to everything in a wild stampede more than the frantic rush in which weaker would be crushed to death. Who would pay the damage done and maintain balance. These are not routine matters and however accomplished and holding to whatever position of power on this earth, Presidents and world leaders who do not pave the way for peace are hopeless prey to the abnormal state of intellect.devoid of compassion. The law of Karma portrays a horrible end to the doers of such devilsh deeds. If we have to save and carry on with us a legacy of progress achieved, and if the leaders are concerned a least about a better future to our children and leave our rich technological and cultural heritage intact for them, then we have to take a decisive steps now in creating Ministries of Peace and Departments of Global welfare in working framework of our governance. Atleast top 15 countries of the world must think on these lines. Such Ministries of peace shall be ably supported by hundreds of similar peace groups for better times ahead. Gone are the days that Secy of State or a foreign ministers can alone handle ever increasing complexities these modern times present. It is time to think with a different mindset and with a sense of responsibility in such critical times.
