TWEETS ALONE ... 1

1. Religion invariably divides humankind into antagonistic units fighting for supremacy. It is a veiled form of politics that exclusive proselytising religion does. As such, the sooner the Vedanta becomes the possession of all and sundry, the better for peace in this religiously fractured world of ours.

2. If poetry be not there in the soul, beholding the Ancient Poet is beyond possibility. Hence, men for all their scriptural verbosity have so often been rendered culturally sterile.

3. Life lingers on to deliver the message divine. Then the wave will subside and the water gather to embrace the dissolving form in its vast loving arms.

4. Fools gather to pray at a time when contact itself is death's agent. Death stalks open in avenues and assemblies but can scarce penetrate the walls of your homes should you observe the health directives. COVID-19 can strike only where distance is diminished and not otherwise.

5. Mustafa Kamal Ataturk, the revolutionary dictator of Turkey who transformed Turkish society from a theocratic medieval one to a secular modern one. His life and works had been well studied by Netaji and the latter, deeply influenced by the radical transformation that Ataturk had brought about in theocratic Turkey, sought in his work the model he would have liked to have followed post independence, albeit in an Indian variation of it.

6. Being part of an exploitative system, all work tends to social evil. But how to rid oneself of it when the alternate socialist/communist system exploits in a worse manner? A social democracy founded on the philosophy of the Vedanta ought to resolve this exploitative crisis. Om !

7. The problems mount by the day. The solutions dwindle. Human society moves rapidly towards the precipice of annihilation. If a radical shift in human consciousness does not take place now, as it happens in the cyclical advance of evolution, humanity is doomed.

8. May Mother bless all her children !Photo : courtesy, Moni Lahiri, a Facebook friend, whose aesthetic sense I can never quite fully appreciate for words fail me in the endeavour to do so. But his generosity towards me in allowing me the privilege to share his designed photos I can surely thankfully acknowledge and heartily, too.
