OF\u00a0 WORLD PEACE<\/b><\/span>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is heartening to note,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

That the Indian PM’s name,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Hath been recommended,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
For establishing World Peace !<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
“My chariots shall not be bloody,
Till the earth records my name”,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Said the conscientious Buddha,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
As he renounced War.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Milton averred ” Peace hath her victories,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
No less renouned than\u00a0War ” !<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Man’s essential nature is Peace,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
War is only\u00a0an abnormality !<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
How can a Nation which declares Peace,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Aum Shanti, Shanti, advocate War ?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
From the ethical, moral angle,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Peace gets Fame, and War notoriety !<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Love cognised is Truth<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Love in action is Non VIolence<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Love as pure Being is Wisdom<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Love as Feeling is Peace.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Yet, many believe that war is a necessity biologic,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
An outlet for the human desire to compete and excel !
Conquest by force is only half victory,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
True victory is conquest by Love !<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Harmony has to be established,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
And perfection worked out.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
We have to effectuate the Divine,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
In a conflicting and contradicting world\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 !<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
We have been instructed,
To rise from Non Being to Being,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Asado Ma Sad Gamaya,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
And to rise from Darkness to Light.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In other words,
From the Negative to the Positive.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
But we have a big problem here,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
As we are confronted by qualities negative !<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
We have seen Death,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
But not Immortality !<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Mrutyor Ma Amritam Gamaya,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Appears to be difficult !<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Death, Non Being, Ignorance,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Darkness, adversity, disease,
All these we have seen,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
But never experienced the Positive !
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Qualties Negative,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Are merely the first terms of the Formula,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Unintellible to us,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Till we work out its esoteric terms !<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
These qualities negative,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Are merely initial discords<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Of the Musician’s symphony,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Didnt He create a world miserable ?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
That too deliberately flawing perfection,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Of His Own Creation ?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The discords of the world are Lord’s discords,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
To unfold the Godhead within us?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The tormenting Evil is He,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
As well as the Redeeming Grace !<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Oru Kai Praharikkave<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Maru Kai kondu thalodum Easwaran !<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Only when we have an integral vision,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Can we see beyond all masks,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The serene and lovely face,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Of\u00a0 the All Blissful Godhead !<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
His tests test our imperfection,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
True friemd is He and Heart, the Teacher !<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Mind is the greatest Guru,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
And world, the true Book !<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Let us be what the Seer Poets recommended,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
What Lord Krishna recommended to Arjuna,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Realised souls viewing Becoming,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Under the\u00a0metaphor of Being !<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Let us rise from Death to Self Realisation,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
From the Darkness of Nescience to Light Supernal,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
From the mirage of Non Being to True Being,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Thus fulfilling that eternal Prayer Asato Ma Sadgamaya !<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Did not Bhagavan Aurobindo,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Say that Strive and thou shalt have ?
Trust and thy trust shall be justified ?
That the Divine Crown is within our reach ?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
That we have to overcome the Negative,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
And reach the Positive !
And Implement Positivity,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Then only shall the world be redeemed !
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The Kingdom of Heaven,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Is both worldly and transworldly<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
To implement this Rama Rajya,<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
India, US and Russia exist !<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n
