LOFTIEST INDIAN THOUGHT - VASUDAIVA KUTUMBAKAM


#ObservingLife

Sun Water Earth Air Ether for All, all five vital ingredients of life, irrespective of different shapes/ sizes/ make/ model/ composition

Think

Life evolved; lower level animals evolve; staked claim to territories for survival; still do

Further evolution, humans evolved, with better brains

Initially only one belief system, staked claims to territory; survival instinct was pre-dominant, like animals

Evolve further - only one faith; multiple beliefs now stake claim to territory

Evolve further; multiple faiths & beliefs start to live together

Human brain is a human mental construct, after birth, by design

Humans are not a separate entity; they are part of this 'grand cosmos' - design of the Creator

Indian thought had already reached this, since millennia

Acceptance, not only tolerance, of ALL was our ideal

Propounded millennia ago as a mantra, "#VasudaivaKutumbakkam"

The entire cosmos is one big family

The ancient Bharatiya lifestyle - to live in harmony with everything around

Trees, rivers, snakes, cats, dogs were accepted as part of the grand design

Proud to be part of this grand heritage #India

No wonder this was considered a weird land by all

The ideal is too lofty for less evolved minds

All it requires is to Observe, Inquire, Contemplate, Meditate, Connect with the Super Consciousness/ Divine/ God/ Creator, or whatever else you think or don't think created this finely balanced cosmos, where the earth goes around its own axis in 24 hours; the earth goes around the Sun in 365 days, 6 hours, some minutes and seconds

If all the bees in the world were to go extinct today; plant, animal and human life will cease too! 

Think of our interconnections with everything around us.

Could we be sitting on a spinning planet without the planet holding on to us through gravity?

No religious teacher/ Pandit/ Maulvi/ Granthi/ Priest can lead you to the answer. They merely indulge you in rituals and mythology; it is their profession.

The grand philosophy is yours to "observe, inquire, contemplate, meditate, connect &; understand". 

It is all within you!


Why was I born to my parents, in to their religion, in to this land? Any answers? Did you control any of them? Did you have any say in your language, race, nationality, religion or for that any thing else that defines you today? Are you a spiritual being in a human body or a human body?

Do different people from different belief systems have different blood, or is human blood universal? Do we drink the same water, breathe the same air, eat the bounty of this earth, etc? Then how can we be so different as to kill each other for our distorted beliefs?

These questions bother me too and everything we try to explain by Karma and positive thinking.
