MONEY IS NOT BLACK

HOW CAN MONEY BE BLACK?

I am proud to be an Indian. I am also proud that I was born on this land of Bharat which has ancient history and great scriptures like Manu Smiriti or Manu Samhita which is also considered as Dharma Shastra. Manu is considered the grand child of Bhrahma the creator. It is elided that Bhrahma gave 1,00,000 codes of law’s to Manu to follow in life. Manu reduced the codes to 4000. Civil law’s, social obligations, ceremonies connected with birth, marriage, death, the daily duties, code of conduct to observed by people belonging to the various Varnas or caste, the conquest senses, freedom from lust and greed, education, law of state punishment are some of the major topics dealt with at Great length in Manu Smriti. This knowledge was to impart others which had nearly 200 verses in it. Samriti lay down Dharmic loss for regulating the individual, family, social and national obligation of people .They explain the codes of conduct for mankind in day to day life. Upanishads teaches us to renounce the worldly attachment and surrender to God and thereby surely part of God realization. In spirituality silence is considered as best and final stage of teaching to all those who want to learn. Through silence one can automatically gain knowledge with the divine grace.
Nowhere in our ancient scripture it is mentioned that there will be an occasion to deal with black money. Because money which is worshiped as goddess Lakshmi, who is the consort of lord Narayana remains always as white. It is the black collective consciousness of people at the helm of affairs in the administration and in the governance in the past since independence, who are solely responsible for allowing the money to be stacked outside India.
In yoga there is Yama (abstention) and Niyama (observances) to be followed with a disciplined life to build good character and to abide by the words “Satyam Vadha Dharmam Chara” means speak always truth and follow the path of righteousness so that one can perform good deeds to fulfill his or her duties as a enlightened human being.
There are different meanings to the name of leader, Saint, Rishi or Baba. Mixing these names in a changed environment and performing the deeds to cleanse the dirt created by others may make a person to fall into a different Varna. We can only say the creator of dirt lacks the necessary character, qualification and patriotism. Those people are the one who have lost their senses and full control and allowed their mind and soul to go after the material objects for pleasure. Are they good or bad? Are they right or wrong? Who are we to judge?
It is written in our scripture “YATHA RAJA TATHA PRAJA”. It seems these words are completed understood are well taken by the people who have lured into stacking money outside. All the stories of god and goddess are to teach code of conduct to all of us and educate us to understand the right and follow the path of truth and righteousness for living in happiness. Our former president Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam was of the opinion that only father, mother and primary school teacher through students can eradicate corruption from the country. He was also the opinion that no law or rule can make India free from corruption. Such words coming from person holding highest office of the country speaks about the lack of will, determination and sincerity of government in handling the sensitive case like bringing back the black money.
In government there is a policy that you cannot hold 2 office of profit at the same time. It is an advice to Baba not to hold two post yoga guru and cleanser of corrupt system in India, as the evil forces of all political parties and business class may join together to wage a war against anti corruption. Then Baba may have to shed his sacred saffron robes and accept the complete white robes, resembling the modern Indian political class. It is another Maha Bharat war. Hence it is better to keep an ultimate Brahmastra against all those corrupt babus, businessmen and politicians. Even Lord Vishnu carried his ultimate “Sudarshan Chakra” on index finger scaring all the evil forces.
After all, it is the battle of index finger of votes in our democratic country India. We must elect the right Raja by becoming the awakened Praja of our country and it is again a matter of code of conduct for all Indians to become corrupt or to remain always honest.
