Another Equation, World = Family..
The Precessional Cycle of 25920 years
Has been computed by Great Geometer,
And expressed as Thy Will be done,
As in Heaven, so on Earth.
On Earth, as it is in Heaven,
As Above , so Below,
Is the Law of Correspondences,
As the Celestial influences the Terrestrial.
All are brethren and all religions,,
Are so many radii of One Circle,
Designed to lead ?an from Life's Circumference,
To the Central Light, the Absolute Self !
Ecumenism and Syncretism,
Sarva Dharma Samabhava,
Is the Child of both,
Gnosticism and Indian Philosophy !
The Equation, World = Family,
Vasudha Eva Kudumbakam,
Was voiced in India long ago
That we are all brethren.
When Jews were persecuted all over,
India welcomed them with open arms.
Love and mutual respect hold absolute sway,
As these two nations showed by example !
No Crusades, no Clash of Civilizations,
And Zion became India's close ally.
The Two Mothers of religions,
Have tremendous similarities.
Old Testament are similar to Vedas,
Kabalah is the Western Yoga.
Both are intellectual races,
Science and Philosophy are their forte.
What is the esoteric.
Meaning of the above words,
Uttered by the divine Aurobindo,
Founder of Integral Yoga ?
“Transcend Thyself,
Become Thyself !
True nature of Man
Is to be more than himself !
Man is a political animal,
He is influenced by factors five,
Education, Environment,
Exposure, Experience and the Genetic.
” These are the five intervening variables,
Which intermediate in the causal equation”,
Averred the great Tolman,
Father of Motivational Psychology !
Transcend thyself means,
To transcend thy political self,
Political self is Mr Hyde or Diti,
As all men are Machiavellis !
Become Thyself means,
To become thy true self,
Self aligned to Conscience,
Self which is wholly Positive !
The whole nature of Man,
Is to be more than himself,
Evolution is forward oriented
From amoeba to Man Divine !
Man carries cultural baggage,
Ruled as he is by the ego function
Ego is Msn’s weakness.
And the imperfect term in him !
Evil continues to be a formidable force,
In Man. Until Evil is destroyed,
And Light invades the inconscient base,
He will have to battle it out within himself !
Evil is the hidden foe lodged in humans,
Man has to overcome this mighty adversary,
Or miss his Fate Divine,
This is the inner war ineluctable !
Never think the Way is easy,
Long, difficult, dangerous it is !
Thou shalt be tested,
By both Heaven and Earth !
Heaven will subject thee,
To pitiless trials and tribulations.
Hell will open its mouth,
To threaten and wound thee !
Spirituality develops only,
Under peculiar adversity
It seems He polishes his jewels
With the diamond dust of Adversity !
Like an Aurobindo having Universal Vision,
In the confinesof a jail !
Or like Jesus crying out loud,
” Father, why has thou forsaken me ?”
Or like, Melpathur, unable to move,
When he worked on his magnum opus.
Or like, Poonthanam writing Jnanappana,
After the death of his son !
Or like Dante, disappointed in love,
When he composed Divina Comedia !
Or like the great TIlak,
When he composed Gita Rahasya in jail !
Shloka, verse, arises from Shoka, sorrow,
Tasso’s was a sorrowful life.
So was Keats’ and all the greats,
Suffered more than commoners !
Wise Poets defined it as the Razor’s Edge,
Maugham wrote a book about it !
We have to walk on Razor’s Edge alone,
Lean is the path and way unknown !
Enlightenment is Release,
From Ego’s tutelage !
This can only be effected,
By aligning with Self Divine
Divine alchemy is Yoga,
Human is transmuted to Divine
From Animal Man to Human Man
And finally to Divine Man.
India is not only a philosophic Genius, but a military Genius. vide the surrender of 93 K troops to India in 1971.
It is good to understand that IT, Auto, Food Processing and Defence et al can be the sunrise industries which can bring home the bacon.
She, unlike her arch rivals, China and Pak, have a lot of friends, US, Japan, Israel, the European Trinity ( UK, Germany & France) , Taiwan, the Asean Countries ( tipped to be the next Global Power ) — all are her close friends !
Ind should concentrate on Defence, now that Defence production had surpassed 100,000 crores, produce more and export more. Same with the food processing industry, which had become > 500 b, with her great raw materials at 353 mt ( foodgrains ) and 330 mt ( fruits & vegetables.
The need arose, propelled by the Indian Emergence, to start a new blog

OF WORLD PEACE
It is heartening to note,
That the Indian PM’s name,
Hath been recommended,
For establishing World Peace !
“My chariots shall not be bloody,
Till the earth records my name”,
Said the conscientious Buddha,
As he renounced War.
Milton averred ” Peace hath her victories,
No less renouned than War ” !
Man’s essential nature is Peace,
War is only an abnormality !
How can a Nation which declares Peace,
Aum Shanti, Shanti, advocate War ?
From the ethical, moral angle,
Peace gets Fame, and War notoriety !
Love cognised is Truth
Love in action is Non VIolence
Love as pure Being is Wisdom
Love as Feeling is Peace.
Yet, many believe that war is a necessity biologic,
An outlet for the human desire to compete and excel !
Conquest by force is only half victory,
True victory is conquest by Love !
Harmony has to be established,
And perfection worked out.
We have to effectuate the Divine,
In a conflicting and contradicting world !
We have been instructed,
To rise from Non Being to Being,
Asado Ma Sad Gamaya,
And to rise from Darkness to Light.
In other words,
From the Negative to the Positive.
But we have a big problem here,
As we are confronted by qualities negative !
We have seen Death,
But not Immortality !
Mrutyor Ma Amritam Gamaya,
Appears to be difficult !
Death, Non Being, Ignorance,
Darkness, adversity, disease,
All these we have seen,
But never experienced the Positive !
Qualties Negative,
Are merely the first terms of the Formula,
Unintellible to us,
Till we work out its esoteric terms !
These qualities negative,
Are merely initial discords
Of the Musician’s symphony,
Didnt He create a world miserable ?
That too deliberately flawing perfection,
Of His Own Creation ?
The discords of the world are Lord’s discords,
To unfold the Godhead within us?
The tormenting Evil is He,
As well as the Redeeming Grace !
Oru Kai Praharikkave
Maru Kai kondu thalodum Easwaran !
Only when we have an integral vision,
Can we see beyond all masks,
The serene and lovely face,
Of the All Blissful Godhead !
His tests test our imperfection,
True friemd is He and Heart, the Teacher !
Mind is the greatest Guru,
And world, the true Book !
Let us be what the Seer Poets recommended,
What Lord Krishna recommended to Arjuna,
Realised souls viewing Becoming,
Under the metaphor of Being !
Let us rise from Death to Self Realisation,
From the Darkness of Nescience to Light Supernal,
From the mirage of Non Being to True Being,
Thus fulfilling that eternal Prayer Asato Ma Sadgamaya !
Did not Bhagavan Aurobindo,
Say that Strive and thou shalt have ?
Trust and thy trust shall be justified ?
That the Divine Crown is within our reach ?
That we have to overcome the Negative,
And reach the Positive !
And Implement Positivity,
Then only shall the world be redeemed !
The Kingdom of Heaven,
Is both worldly and transworldly
To implement this Rama Rajya,
India, US and Russia exist !
