Destination Peace

The idea of peace,, without trust is next, to impossible . Those kind of peace, will be a cosmetic one , and several acts like, that has been tried out earlier. One of the example, of how cosmetic peace, could fail was the  effort made by AV Vajpayee, at Agra Summit to have peace with Pakistan. 

It is not that, always , politicians have got things wrong .The hatred between India and Pakistan , is far deep rooted, for an able politician to handle. If that be not the case, Gandhi would make things  right, at the first place.

Luckily , I have opportunities of interactions with different Pakistani people, in spiritual forums. One of them , I interacted recently, was an sufi women, who also have practical knowledge on most of the religions of Indian origin, and done her research in social psychology. She came up with a very interesting insight, and agreed that , India is there origin , and Indian spirituality, is the base on which there culture and society  stands  . 

At the same time , she feels that they are hopelessly tied up, on the present situation of hatred and terror, being a part of a country, which is originated, from the hatred of India. The newer generation, might not have, that wrathful experience of partition, what the earlier generation had , but the impression are still in the collective mind. By far , the hatred and wrath, has traveled from political realm, to the realm of social psychology, and it has got its presence in the civilian thinking too.

She pointed out one of the reason , that Pakistan is a failed state is -the political and religious leaders of the  land, have been able to hold back the state of hatred, on the collective mind , for there own benefit. Whereas, in case of India, they never looked back and focused in progress,  rather than spreading disturbance in the neighboring country.

What I felt, out of my own reflection ( she didn’t commented on it ), that it is because India is deeply rooted in its spirituality , it could imbibe more easily a state of tolerance, in collective mind , rather than hatred, and focus on progress. Indeed , before terrorist attack in Mumbai , I have always found Indian leaders are meek and very submissive, in expressing there thoughts about Pakistan. It is recently , I am finding, that our leaders are very aggressive in there tone , where they are even complaining, that Pakistan has made terrorism as a part of there state policy.

Well only time can tell , that whether , it could get us, on the same loop of hatred and anger, which has made Pakistan a failed state . I think it would be an good initiative , to have thins kind of discussion, where we start showing more compassion, and don’t let politics to travel in the level of social psychology and try to the deeper causes of the hatred . I know live are lost , families are burned out here , however , violence is never a answer for violence . Still, let me reinstate , that the answer is not also on escaping from war . As says Sun tzu ( the greatest warrior philosopher), the great warriors are those who know, how to win without fighting.

Peace doesn’t comes with the absence of war . Because peace, is an  inner phenomenon and somebody could remain peaceful in the midst of the most violent war. In the opposite somebody could be very disturbed on the most peaceful situation.

II.35 ahimsâ-pratisthyam tat-sannidhau vaira-tyâgaï

As Maharishi Patanjali says , that when the mind entertain no thoughts of violence inside and it is established firmly in non-violence , there is an absolute peace outside, and with the company of those people, who have that kind of mind, all violence is rooted out from the world.

This is the sutra of real peace, and if we practice these both India and Pakistan can remain peaceful. Without first driving out violent thought from our mind , any effort of peace is an cosmetic one, and it is not going last long .

We think that wisdom of Maharishi Patanjali is very much required for the people to live life peacefully and happily in these world . Most of the time , the real wisdom of Maharishi Patanjali, is ignored and yogasasnas and pranayamas are given extraordinary emphasis . They are just a part of the whole wisdom system, given by Maharishi Patanjali,, to prepare the mind to attain higher wisdom.

That’s why these whole month, we are conducting a number of training programs , online and offline that the real knowledge of Maharishi Patanjali reaches to masses. Here are the link of the programs which are conducted online alongwith offline. Those who wants to physically attend this program can send an email to joydip@allindialive.org .We can send you the venue details and the commercials.
