MY MOTHER INDIA

MY MOTHER INDIA

India is a vast temple whose middle level is located geographically here but whose depths of foundation and heights of flight stretch beyond human cognition. It is not a finite piece of planet earth but an illimitable entity which encompasses the earth and transcends it to subliminal depths and sublime heights which is why she is worshipped by her children as the veritable Mother Goddess. Those that do so are blessed. Others have yet to rise to this conception which is so rudely rejected by crude Semitic conceptions of spirituality and vilely violated by materialistic philosophies as superstition born out of archaic ignorance. But India, hoary India, lives on to proclaim the grand truth that matter itself is the Spirit in disguise seen through the erroneous retracting medium of the senses that reveal the surface only to hide the depths. India, eternal India, holy India, our divine mother, the civiliser of the world, the most violated of nations, lives on to usher in a new order of spiritual humanity. Unto the realisation of that distant dream I offer my life's labour, my heart's ardour and my soulful sacrifice. Vande Mataram!
