To always initiate intense struggles against untruth - Swami Vivekanad
Anna is very correct on radically directing his inital protest against the Govt's dirty tactics to suppress a movement. This shows: Here is a man who is well thought and well resolved. Protests, fasts, discussions, thought processes keep a democracy live, vibrant, relevant, aligned with truth and away from dictatorship. To deny this very right is to murder a democracy and the truth, both in a single stroke. By choosing to fight against them even before lokpal, Anna has given new life to Indian Democracy. What is a movement? It is basically the mass mobilisation of public thoughts and opinions. Movements initiate a thought process and a dialogue among the public and among its servants or so called leaders. A process to constantly discover and rediscover the truth in personal, social and public life. Llife ceases the day this very process ceases. Methods like fast and protests towards achieving these goals are all legitimate. Gandhiji himself used them to fight against the enemies, both, within, i.e. our own internal ignorance as a person, family or nation, and without i.e. foreign forces and other external distractions.
Anna has done a marvellous job to take the bull - thoughtless govt blinded by selfism and arrogance - by its horns. He confronts hea- on and radically challenges the Govt tactics, carried out behind the curtains of legal-technicalities and police. And you see, cowards could not withstand against the truth even for 12 hours!!! Anna agreeing to two weeks' duration of protest must be seen as his utmost politeness - only because he is not blamed as adamant by the ignorants, by those who do not understand the very meaning of movement and protest!!!
Otherwise, a movement (of thoughts to constantly re-discover truth) and a protest - against the ignorance and untruth- must be the integral part of one's individual, family and social life. By very definition they are of 'indefinite' nature. They must only end with one's life. An individual, a family or a society in absence of these ingredients must be considered dead. Swami Vivekanand noted in a poem the means to worship truth and god:
Sada Ghor Sangram Chhedna teri puja ke upchaar
Veer daraaye darey na aaye agar parajay sau-2 baar!!!
- Vivekanad
(Means: To always initiate intense struggles is the way to worship the truth. You must never fear even if you meet hundreds failures in such endeavors. Ex. Luv and kush sons of lord Ram confronted even their father with arrows in their hand to protest against....)
Now see this Govt and its pleas. They say - see Anna is asking you to take leave from your jobs. He wants you loose your salaries or even jobs (- Sibbal's argument in yesterdays' parliament). Next they may argue - why you waste your leaves to attend anna's movement...better you enjoy them with your girl friends (read boy friends if you are a girl) or families. What they wish is that we just remain limited to our insecurities - stomach/money/spouses and allow them to be drenched in theirs.
This shows their limits. Nobody can speak or live beyond his level of thoughts. But these fools do not know that human's life is not just a story of only 3 Fs - finance, friends or families. In the absence of one single T i.e.the truth all F's have just proved false throughout the history of human life on this planet.

(Of what use is my own life devoid of any discovery of truth, and also family which is just drenched in the marshy of insecurities and even the nation if it can not live up truth on the world scene??????? Think of it my friends again and again! And this is the real meaning of Vande Mataram)
Gajendraji, there is an incredibly high degree of 'satvik' vibrancy in this article. (Not to undermine other articles though). It is so important to have such articles that are TIMELY and GUIDING for many of us who are ignorant.
ReplyDeleteGovt wants to suppress movement - ready to kill democracy - purposes are maligned, actions are reactive/yielding type.
Anna and team want to spread their movement - to safegaurd democracy - purposes are pure, actions are predictable, clear
One is untruth/darkness/death, the other is truth/light/immortality.
Efforts to bring back black money, bring timely/accurate justice to culprit/innocent, Jan Lokpal etc. are all going to grow up wider to include more reformation areas, and to blow into a full-blown call for 'all-round' reforms from smallest village to entire nation. All this is truly a 'second freedom struggle' as you had mentioned in the other article "Movement against Corruption: Furture Direction". In fact each subsequent article is increasing in its 'satvik' fire as the movement's 'satvik' fire is.
No doubt people have risen/are rising up from the slumber from their beds. These articles make them awake.
"Arise, Awake, Stop Not till the goal is reached!"
You have clearly expressed the basis of the Rights to protest. This movement will also evoke thought process in every righteous person to strengthen his resolve for not choosing corrupt path in his life. One more thing we should do in our surrounding and neighborhood is to show our contempt to those people who have done material accumulation in their life using corrupt means. Let us not give them (who has got it using corruption ) our approval that he is a successful man in his life. We have to take this movement in to our family and every family in our neighborhood and trigger a starting of at'ma nirikshan.
