MMY teaches us in the gita that: The self is conquered by the Self...alone.
IMO, before the wholeness of Self predominates -the field of opposites (maya) holds sway over the intellect. Good, bad, legal, illegal. When opposites are held in contempt rather than being viewed as complimentary aspects of a larger wholeness, there is a tendency to project the "negative" aspects of self (small s) outwards onto people, societies, and groups. Enemies are seen everywhere. Evil is seen everywhere. I question the validity of the point of view that there are large groups of evil, bad people out there that are ruining our country. I question too, the validity of a point of view that says we need to build wall instead of bridges. And lastly, I question the point of view that requires people to be given permission by us to seek their birthright which is a prosperous and happy family life. Instead of asking "Why are they here? Why not ask: how can I help create a society and a world where people don't have to leave their own country to prosper? How can I help create a world where people don't have to live in garages? How can I help create a world where the basic necessities of life are available to everyone, right where they live? Again, MMY teaches us that the Enlightened man - a man he describes as having "universal love predominating in the heart" - "Works tirelessly for the welfare of the entire world" > > In my understanding, the majority of US population are offspring > of "illegal aliens" from Europe. Those aliens murdered American > Indians rather mercilessly. > > > > The illegals in question have not established a government or claimed > independence yet either. > > >
