On India - 1998-2020

Twenty years have passed.

We were all made slaves to a mindless rush for a false image of prosperity and well-being.

We have now come to a standstill.

On the brink.

***

Today, what to say, what to add? Today what is the priority?

Perhaps it may be helpful to look at the most recalcitrant contradictions that prevent an actual commitment to a unified common effort towards a collective terrestrial existence inhabited by the Spirit and guided by the Soul and, in that light, see the absurdity of our clinging to a three- dimensional struggle for enjoyment circled in by death. If all the difficulties, all the snares, all the falsities and all the denials of today’ world are now indeed actively represented within the collective life of this one beleaguered yet indomitable multitude that is India – and it is so perhaps because India owns a power of integral realization no other country of this world can claim for itself -, yet India can only begin to find their living and progressive resolution when it has faced its own failings and identified, recognized and integrated the true and valid gains and discoveries made by other societies and peoples of this one world. And each people, each society of this world, however globalized it may appear under the predatory eye of consumerism, have their own unique and singular contradictions to offer, their own inherited failings and their own incomparable powers of being.
