India4u.026
A nation is what it accepts with all its heart and soul. This is true in a deeper sense
than most of us have as yet realized. Belief creates reality. It is what makes a thing exist.
If we go by this test, our Indian may be said toe just a mad ghost. I am not saying that he has no belief; indeed, no; he has so many that it is difficult to assert that he has any. It is said that he who has everything has in truth nothing. Possession means selection.
Now our Indian, be he a saint or a sinner, lacks the power of choosing. He is, if you did deep enough, a veritable beggar`s bowl, into which fate flings pull-mell a little of everything.
So, if you are looking for the authentic Indian, all I can suggest is that “there isn’t any.”
But, we have a very recognizable and very unwieldy bundle. This bundle contains heterogeneous layers of beliefs, some wise, some foolish, some with tremendous depths, other extremely shallow, but all is disharmony with one another.
Our Indian has no core. This is the most essential factor about him. Why, the Buddha even denied that we had any consciousness. He said that it was all a series of flash-points.
This is exactly what our India is. No wonder he looks so mysterious and other-worldly. You cannot pin him down; he is like a will-o`-the-wisp.
Best Wishes!
