Theos-Talk Archives (July 2006 Message tt00613)

Further to my comment of yesterday, I am adding what Dr. Rabindra Nath Tagore has to offer. It is from a weekly California periodical called India-West. The date is circa October 7th, 2001. It is a letter to the periodical written by Dr. Ardeshir Damania of Davis, California. It seems to be a response to the well-known 9/11 tragedy in Eastern USA.
   
            Dear Editor,
The great Indian poet/philosopher Rabindranath Tagore wrote a poem in Bengali in the 1920s at the height of the Hindu-Muslim communal riots and killings in Bengal, India. I would like to share this poem, as translated by Aurobindo Bose, with your readers. His words ring true in light of the recent tragic events of Sept. 11 (I-W, Sept. 14).



Those who in the name of Faith embrace illusion,

Kill and are killed.

Even the atheist gets God's blessings -

Does not boast of his religion;

With reverence he lights the lamp of Reason

And pays his homage not to scriptures,

But to the good in man.



The bigot insults his own religion

When he slays a man of another faith.

Conduct he judges not in the light of Reason;

In the temple he raises the blood-stained banner

And worships the devil in the name of God.



All that is shameful and barbarous through the Ages,

Has found a shelter in their temples

Those they turn into prisons;

O, I hear the trumpet call of Destruction!

Time comes with her great broom

Sweeping all refuse away.



That which should make man free,

They turn into fetters;

That which should unite,

They turn into a sword;

That which should bring love

>From the fountain of the Eternal,

They turn into prison

And with its waves they flood the world.

They try to cross the river

In a bark riddled with holes;

And yet, in their anguish, whom do they blame?



O Lord, breaking false religion, Save the blind!

Save the blind!

Break! O break!

The altar that is drowned in blood.

Let your thunder strike

Into the prison of false religion,

And bring to this unhappy land

The light of knowledge.

Dr. Ardeshir B. Damania
Davis, Calif. 
      
  Thanks.

          Dear Inquirers:

I wish to supplement as follows.

The problem in West Asia is getting headlines these days. But it is has many similar situations elsewhere. Look at the India sub-continent with Hindu-Muslim conflict, Ireland with Catholic-Protestant conflict, the former Yugoslavia, Rawanda and many more.

The basic question we should ask why does a person have hatred? I venture here and below to use the phrases of Mr. J. Krishnamurti that the individual problem is the world problem. Hatred is an individual problem. Theosophy, the Theosophical Society (Adyar, ULT, Pasadena, etc.) and many other groups elsewhere work for human regeneration.

Is not the cessation of hatred in the individual human regeneration? We should examine what is, as distinct from what should be!. What should be is a fiction, where as what is is the fact. Movement away from the fact is the cause of the problems in the individual.

Dear Friends,

Here, further below, we have an odd dialogue indeed, for a theosophical list: one person who proposes the exercise of collective hatred against the Jews, and one person who defends the Jewish people. 

I am happy to see that Democracy and respect for all peoples seems to be winning the WWII in Theos-talk. A war which did not really end yet. 

Some numbered items, not necessarily in a sequence: 

1) My own perspective -- as things get more and more serious in the Middle East -- is that Israelian author and pacifist Amós Oz is right when he says the main conflict is not between Jews and Palestinians, or Jews and Arabs.
The main conflict is occult and politically invisible. It is the conflict of Moderate Arabs and Jews, against Radical, Violent Arabs and Jews. That is, the real conflict is between the culture of peace (among Arabs and Jews) and the culture of hatred (among Jews and Arabs). 
>From the viewpoint of universal brotherhood, this is also the "battle" we are all in, now. Every human being is at this crossroads. Innerly, Theos-talk is not apart from the Middle East, or from the whole world. 

2) Now, of course, peace is inseparable from Truthfulness, Ethics and Justice. 

3) As to the political-military conflict in the Middle East, what I say is: as long as the Arabs educate their children in the culture of Hatred and Death (as Hitler did), peace will scarcely have a chance. As long as some radical Rabbis can control moderate Jews, things will be difficult.

4) The Arab-Israeli conflict can get a wider regional dimension from now to 2012. Or it can be controlled -- who knows? 

5) A scarcely publicized but real fact it that the president of Iran has a arab-messianic, pseudo-mystical view about the end of the world being near at hand, and he seems to be very interested in his own nuclear project. 

6) The best some of us can do is to remain apart from Nazism and Neonazism.

7) On the other hand, I hope the next elections will bring a better politician to the presidency of the U.S.A. G. Bush the Son is not quite doing a superb job as president of the world. 

8) I remember a sentence in the Mahatma Letters which says, in other words: "Each time a civilization goes for absolute Error, a geological cataclysm cuts is way and interrupts such a Path". 

9) Theos-talk could be an alchemical laboratory to produce truthfulness and peace in the small measure we are able to. 

Best regards, Carlos.
