------------------------------

SHILLONG: India is considered a religious country, but a lot of corruption is taking place in this country, Tibetan spiritual leader theDalai Lama rued on Monday.

"This country (India) is considered a religious country, but a lot of corruption is taking place. There are many corrupt people, and I think, the corrupt people are also highly educated," the Tibetan spiritual leader said while addressing the sixth convocation ceremony of the Martin Christian Luther University here.

"They (some educated people) pray to God but the purpose of their prayer is to make their corrupt life more successful," he added amidst thunderous applause from the audience at the Soso Tham auditorium.

Meghalaya governor K K Paul, chief minister Mukul Sangma and a host of his cabinet colleagues and bureaucrats were also present.

The Dalai Lama, on his maiden visit to this mountainous state capital of Meghalaya, was awarded an honorary doctorate by the private varsity.

He said religious harmony and "ahimsa" are relevant in today's world as religion has become an "instrument to cheat people".

"In western countries, secularism means being negative towards religion while in India it means respect of all religions, and India can promote religious harmony and 'ahimsa'," he said.

Lamenting that modern education has contributed to the degradation of human values and given rise to corruption, the Nobel Peace laureate said ancient Indian knowledge must find place in the modern Indian education system.

"Modern India is multi-cultural, multi-linguistic and multi-racial. It is like the United Nations. I feel the greatness of India. Its people are harmless, and it is an example to the rest of the world as people are living together happily," the Buddhist spiritual leader said.

Asking China to learn from India on how to live together, the Dalai Lama said: "I use to tell my Chinese friends that they should learn from India. Some Chinese hardliners see Tibet as a source of danger. But we are not seeking separation from China."

"Tibet must remain with China for economic development but the Chinese government must respect Tibet's unique language, script, culture, and ecology. These must be preserved," he said.

Secular Liberal Mindset....It is  safer or more acceptable  to associate with  Politicians  like Kejriwal/ or  image of JP  than Non-politician figure like Ramdev...why?

 

Think cheyyandi....Good or Bad pakkana pettandi vaalla Politics......Kejriwal and JP etc  talk at the best in  Physical things...ee policy pedadhaama, aa program pedadhaama..... NO  life experience or  Expertise  in Meta Physical or Spiritual dimensions....All their  education and skillset from  English( ofcourse Indian college degrees) courses....They simply  do not have the Spiritual Experience, Tough Discipline, Moral code requirements, Modesty at personal life to deduce knowledge from....Not much to glean from those dimensions.....

 

Ramdev- being non-politician also talks  Physical stuff( not as much as the other two in policy .....but still talks broad policy in bigger consequential things if you see closely....like Tax system,and foreign relations, overhauling the governance  and some more).......ofcourse   Prepared his entire life for the  Meta Physical and other dimensions....So when he talks a thing,physical or metaphysical, by definition it has to balance or in sync with other dimensions also.......It can not Contradict  his cardinal philosophy.....There is no separation, i.e., right in this compartment not sure in  other compartment or wrong in altogether in some important compartment   pertaining to People, Life, Culture, Standard of Living etc....Atleast in theory it has to be integrated....

 

Lets put this way......Cosmopolitan cities lO, typical sense, safer for a secular liberal mind to align with a Politician(Kejriwal/JP) than a Non-politician(Ramdev)....yendhuku adhi...Give a  thought when you are at your leisure over a cup of coffee about this.....

Sr.Fan annaiii,the intricate tapestry of emotions and feelings that goes behind making your words are appealingly deep  :super:

 

As they say that, there is always a fine difference between knowledge & wisdom.. Knowledge is like process of piling up information, where as wisdom is like applying that information with sound judgement & that is not a product of schooling  :P .. kani eepati popular culture loo knowledge is wisdom anukunee confused minds tayaru ayayee, I can only guess where the source of trouble is....

 

We are the fortunate inheritors of a great vedantic tradition, which looks at life in this world and tries to find its underlying meaning. The quintessence of Vedanta has a dual dimension and the Rigveda lays down the dual purpose of human life:

 

" Atmano mokshartham jagat hitayacha " We look forward to the emancipation of our souls through welfare of the world... There should always be a harmony between the individual, social and spiritual goals and It is this harmony that provides a meaningful basis for ethics... so it's not surprising when a realized soul like Dalia lama reflected on both the clumsiness of modern minds & the wellness of our ancient vedantic traits :cheers:

Box la lO separate gaa  Justify chEsukOvatam  Western Mind, OS......Integration, Harmony vundadhu.......  It seeped deep in to our present day thinking patterns, some things consciously and some stuff unconsciously at more subtler level.....Glad that bros like you :shakehands:  and few others here having/ and developing  an Attitude to introspect things that have ingrained in our culture......

 

Wayne Gretzky ani oka  Ice Hockety player,legend- Illuminati bro......More than Michael Jordan in his sport.....Said once why he scored that many more goals in Professional Ice hockey than others, why he seems always ahead in reaching the puck......

 

(paraphrasing telugu lO)....'.puck(banthi)  prasthutham yekkada vunnadhi anE dhaanikanna,  puck  yekkadiki  velthundO  dhaani meedha  chuupu vundEdhi, kaaLLu atu  skate chEsukontu vellataaniki chuusEvi'

 

ATTITUDE  is good....
