Dear Umesh,
We must not give up hope. I wrote
the drama NIRVANA to surpass frustration and pain and turn the world
into a place of joy, hope, trust and love --- the last line of 1 Corinthian
13.
Published last month, in his new
book Identity & Violence, Dr. Amartya Sen has suggested many identities
of any human being as an answer to the analysis by another Harvard Professor
Samuel Huntington who predicted a major intercivilizational war between core
states in his influential 1996 book The Clash of Civilizations and the
Remaking of the World Order, based on a system of singular classification and unique
categorization along the so-called civilizational lines, which closely follow
religious divisions
In this debate of Huntingtons singular classification vs. many
identities by Amartya Sen, the
drama NIRVANA invokes the idea of
no identity. Too many identities (each being singular) will overload an
individual to a collapse.
Human consciousness, first observed
when a caveman etched a hunting graphic on a cave wall, gradually developing
into a faculty of logic and science, helps us today travel two million light
years to the Andromeda Galaxy with our mind in the drama NIRVANA. When we look
back, the Earth appears as a dust particle. We are all dust particles, getting
arranged and rearranged at birth and death.
This wisdom will not only take away
all our pain, but it will also bring peace on earth, and human beings will run
life caring for each other with love that pervades the entire
universe.
With love to everybody,
Himendra

Subject: Re: [Assam] Easter Sunday by
Greek Orthodox Church - love the illegals??
I hope this message comes across to the 30 million right wing Protestant
evangelicals in USA and their political forces etc who are baying for
the blood of mainly Latino Catholic illegal immigrants - in a land formed by
immigrants . Samuel Huntington, ofcourse seems an Atheist.
These evangelicals preach love and religious freedom in far flung areas
like Sudan and Burma - so this is a test of their faith - when its
repurcussions affect their own.

Dear
friends,
On the day of Easter Sunday
April 16, I sent an "abstract" from the Holy Bible 1 Corinthians 13 to
our friends in the assam.net and I received very positive answers.
Now I find that the Easter
Sunday is actually on April 23 according to the Greek Orthodox Church. I am,
therefore, sending the abstract again to the assam.net as a homage to Isha
--- the Indian word for Jesus.
Love does not mix with boasting,
or anger, or puffing up. Love means kindness. Someone in love tolerates,
believes, hopes, and endures. Someone in love does not ask for anything,
does not indulge in unseemly behaviour, does not envy anybody, does not
think of any evil motive, does not try to make profit from injustice and
iniquity. Love rejoices truth. Love never
fails.
This
teaching is eternal, and it transcends the universe. No matter how many
times we repeat it, we still draw peace from such a teaching as a Guiding
Light of life. I hope the members of assam.net will advance this idea
through discussion.
With
love to everybody,
Himendra _______________________________________________
