Brahminical arrogance (?)
by ambiram on Jun 06, 2007 01:22 PM   Permalink

A peaceful society lives in an environment of 'Give and Take'. To join two pieces of wood, a part of each piece should be chiseled away so that it dovetails nicely. Likewise everyone needs to try to chisel away his/her faults and so that love can sprout in our minds. And to do this, everyone's behaviour should be thoughtful. Our house should be filled with LOVE inside and outside. Discipline in our house comes through love....and ... not through TERROR. Love between yourself and God should be like the love between a child and its mother but a lot more intense.

A person filled with love of God rejoices and whenever he/she touches others.....they get affected with that love too. God's love is like addiction...whoever realizes it...is very lucky. Once we are filled with it....all our words/actions become good. One cannot be filled with love of God when his mind is hateful towards his creation.

A person with mouth ulcers cannot enjoy the food even when he is hungry. So, to enjoy love of God.....we need to cure ourselves from the ulcers of hate and suspicion from our mind. It is very hard but not impossible.

The sad part is that people have got fixated in traditions without ever trying to find out why certain customs took root in the first place. Many of the customs that we call as tradition were answers to problems faced by society in the past. A healthy society must create new rules while discarding those that are out of tune with the present environmen
