Gone with the quake...regions...




All it takes is an earthquake—to shake huge portion of the nation…Sikkim, Bihar, Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Tibet…which too once was a part of our nation—to obviate, from what we deviate—the obvious. Either purposely, or ignorantly, or by being ignorant, purposely. The origin of the turbulence—the epicenter—is a small zone, compared to ‘the’ entirety, yet was enough to prove that the zonal to regional concepts are of the mind. That small zone, in shaking the portions that it did, proved by doing so, that at the root rests the all-pervasive Oneness. For the Universal Consciousness, All IS One.

When ‘outsiders’ divided the nation, it was called ‘partition’; but when the ‘insiders’ divided it, it got labeled ‘demarcation’…as was done for better governance through the localization of administration…and combat the difficulties of ‘vastness’..

But propositions realize their full potential only when accompanied by the sincerity of purpose and intention. As it manifests, these physical demarcations actually originate from the demarcation, aided by the ‘separatist’ thought process. This is infested and infected with regional aptitude…which materializes as regional attitude…and vitiates the intention. And the cause can never be separate from the effect it brings… “As nothing is separate from anything on this earth, in what we call LIFE”.

Now again the earth quakes and shakes and takes into its ambit—an unprecedented range or should we say ‘region’—to obviate…as a reiteration—leaving innumerable affected in its wake—the demarcation is in our mind—wider than the physical cracks it has created—proving that wherever we go, earth in its entirety is a huge common base on which we stand. If a portion is affected, the other ones are too, irrespective of the physical distances that separate them…united that they are at the base, when one shakes, the other shakes too. Same is with us…and unless we stand united, we are liable to fall.

Let this be ingrained indelibly in all the regions of our mind, which too is One…in connection with the All…The Collective…that we call The Universe.
