When the finger points at the moon, an idiot looks at the finger. A zen proverb if one remembers correctly. Apt for the series of gestures that Modi is nudging Bharath towards, and the crawling vermin of liberals, cults and their ilk miss the point. 1/n
The harnessing of intent, its evocation at scale, is a subtle method often obscure or even paradoxical to the modern surface mind. The Seer of the Veda knew this, so obscured with a symbol language the call of his aspiration and the gestures of his propitiation 2/n
Where the one-eyed reason sees an arbitrary series of pointless gestures, blind to the stupendous series of mind and soul poises hidden behind the form of the Seer. Himalayan as it will seem, that great tapas, yet has humble roots, such that even a lay mind could venture it 3/n
It is in such a light that the call to collective action must be heeded. Make a sound exhorted the call, and each came with their means..the conch and the bell, the banging of drums and cymbals, the harsh clang of plates, or of plastic bottle against a brick wall..4/n
Each is an intent harnessed, however diluted and distorted, towards raising the collective consciousness of Bharath. All Dharmics who know of the ritual method, or at least cherish a dim or blind faith, must heed to this call. Know that the Sarvavyapi watches all 5/n
As the squirrel to Sri Rama, so are these tiny gestures, adding a grain more to the bridge that leads to the future. A leaf or a glass of water is received by Sri Krishna equally, for what ferries the offering, noble or base, is shradhdha, the pristine Agni. 🙏. 6/6
