Stories from Arunachala Diaries-22
Stories from Arunachala Diaries : Living a different Reality
Sri Joydip
The Bus entered Tiruvannamalai Bus Stand . The headlights continued to touch neon signs. One of this neonsigns was coming repeatedly. The falling and passing of light in the neonsign “Krishnagiri”, was creating a mystical play of air of darkness, invaded by storm of light .
That was exactly, what was happening to me. Coming from Management background, where the foundation of our understanding was based on competition and strategy . Dalai Lama’s speech somehow challenged my thought process . In fact, these was a clash of civilization to me . The Tibetan civilization based on compassion, which was core to Yoga, and the civilization of the rest of the world , starting from China, based on competition were always in conflict.
Eleven years before when I get down from the Bus , in January 2009 , to take a solo walk , around the mountain Arunachala , in the middle of night , I had the same thought process on the clash of civilization, as I pulled the laptop to write this story , in between the lockdown, where I was again completely alone, and taking a solo walk in my mind in April 2020.
Has the world changed much in-between ?
The origin of both the Global Financial Crisis in 2009, which was the effect of institutionalizing greed and the Global pandemic 2020, which was effect of laboratory made viruses from institution of biological excellence breaking bio safety norms were same.
The origin was human nature.
How could you blame science and nature, for the sins they had not done? Science was always a tool used by human nature, to control the external nature which was out of their control.The difference was always made by the human nature, who decided to use atom bomb to destroy, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to win second world war, instead of using it to build a nuclear power plant in Indian and Africa, where millions of people stays without basic electricity. As Dalai Lama , advised , human being need to learn the culture of compassion from Tibetan Yogis.
As I started walking from Tiruvavnamalai bus stand , in the empty road with closed shops , in a challenging financial situation for masses, due to global financial crisis, in the middle of the night , in an unknown town , with an unknown language and culture , the only thing which I had faith was on compassion of Arunachala , that everything will go right.
As I was writing this piece from my home , with empty roads and closed shops due to lockdown , in a challenging health and financial situation with zero social security for masses due to global pandemic , in the middle of night , charting unknown territories of my mind , the only thing I had faith was on the compassion of Arunachala , that everything will go right.
