DO NOT LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS AND OTHER ELDERS ON THESE ISSUES...

Dear all...THIS IS FOR ALL...ESPECIALLY STUDENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS...

Some of us would have celebrated the Republic Day and many of us would have enjoyed the holiday!!

Republic day is all about INTEGRATION...NOT about DIFFERENTIATION!!

All of us belong to some minority group or the other in some way at social or organisational level.

In olden days, the present oldies (>40), and those who are born and living in the same place without going out of the state or the country are still with primitive sensitivities related to language, religion, caste, race, sub-caste etc and groom their children with those rotten beliefs!! They are EMOTIONALLY attached to these and HATE the others and people of these sects. Emotional attachment leads to obsession, wrong beliefs and does not lead to growth or appreciating the positives in others. This affects the peace, happiness, good health and most importantly progress and success in our profession!!

In the past somehow they lived and finished their life. Now IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE PEACEFULLY, HEALTHILY, HAPPILY AND SUCCESSFULLY WITH THOSE SENSITIVITIES.

Therefore DO NOT LISTEN TO THOSE ELDERS ON THESE SENSITIVITIES. Not attaching to any of these and attaching ourselves with every one beyond these sensitivities as HUMAN BEINGS only can help to coexist in our teams, groups, organisations, friendship circles and society...to be good to all...to be liked by all...Otherwise we will miserably fail in our profession and everything.

Some of them are attached to their small social groups but integrated with the bigger social groups. e.g while we belong to a village or town or caste or religion or language or culture, we have to have the larger perspective that we also belong to a state, country and the world with their religions, caste, race, language etc!

While we integrate with others we also need to learn the positives in other cultures and follow in our life.

THIS IS THE TRUE FUNCTIONAL MEANING OF REPUBLIC!!

Patriotism with respect to our village or city or state or country or religion or caste or language-group is not about the land or culture. IT IS ABOUT PEOPLE. There is no point in fighting with the enemy and winning the land if we are fighting with our own people and killing them to make that land a grave-yard!!...Make them into pieces without peace!!..If we continue with hate and killing then THE BIRDS, INSECTS AND ANIMALS WILL DECLARE 'HUMAN RACE' AS EXTINCT and will feel happy and declare the day of death of last human being on earth as DIWALI day and celebrate!!

So, the crux is...

1. If you want to be successful in your education, profession and social life, don't get emotionally attached with the differentiating issues like religion, caste, language, culture etc. Forget about all these and attach with all human beings equally. Else your doomsday is not faraway!!

2. Patriotism with respect to the country, state, village and other sensitivities listed above is not about the land or culture. It is about people!!...No point in having an empty land and standing alone hating and killing everyone!!

Wish you all a happy, true and meaningful Republic day today and in future!!

Peacefully yours...rams....
