One liners!

Man made Rules, God Followed - God never made rules for what we believe the rules are made by us in the name of God. Rules are meant to exist to bring peace and harmony in the human life, however at times these same rules bring havoc in human life. Moreover these rules are even bent by the illiterate high humans for their individual benefits which adds more pain to already agonized human. In this Godless yug, God follows all the rules made by a man, as we no more fear God, but the Man..

October 2

Today a tremendous force on my soul is making me write this post. Time ticks as usual, life goes on as usual, however 2 jewels appeared on October 2, which makes this day highly special. And both Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri worked for common cause nation building, building a 'Rama Rajya'.

Gandhiji's fight for equality in South Africa gave hope not only to people of South Africa but as well to India with the able leader who can fight for his people fearlessly. The mantra Raghupati Raghava Raja Raam... eased him to bring much needed unity among the nation. I believe just the truth and non violence are not the key attributes defining him, but the love and fearlessness made him stronger. Looking at today's state of our country, I feel the much needed Gandhi in us is missing. It is a pity that people go to the temple to beg God (not pray) and for only selfish benefits, donate money not belonging to his, and even politicize the temple environment.

On the other hand, Lal Bahadur Shastri not only brought us the food self sufficiency with green revolution, but also identified the need for nation security with this mantra 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan'. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi and Bal Gangadhar Tilak, he dedicated his life for this nation.

I hope we recognize their efforts really from our hearts one day, but putting their values in our daily life, and not just in the speaches. The day will be a real enlightening of human values in us.
