Unprecedent Time - Unprecedent Corona Crisis - Our Response
Corona Virus (Tsunami) crisis- Our Response
Dear friends,
This is one of biggest challenge in known history of mankind, not
because of numbers of deaths reported/actual happening, but because of horror
we are facing or fear we are experiencing. Biggest killer of all times is
fear/shock, that doesn't mean we throw all precautions, all recommended
safeties, and think whatever god want will happen.
This is not correct time to give some teaching to sufferers as our consciousness is very distracted by pain and suffering of human beings. We are more hurt because of greediness and cheating of few human fellows who themselves are so shallow from inside that they don’t know how big crime against humanity they are doing. We human are most dangerous enemies of human being. We become far worse than vultures. At least vultures plays role of scavenger/ cleaner for environment, but what these few greedy people are doing. May be they had suffered lots and lots in this birth or earlier birth, but they should not have done profiteering from other’s pain. Lets pray for their soul as we can’t achieve peace till the time we have some revenge feeling, some soreness, some hollowness inside us. Let us pray for our beloved departed souls. If we can’t find peace our departed near and dear ones will not achieve peace and their soul continues to suffers as they are attracted to our thoughts (our sadness and our happiness).
Bhagavad Geeta 2.23

जल गला नहीं सकता और वायु सूखा नहीं सकता।

inaction.
अनुवाद
तुम्हें अपने कर्म (कर्तव्य) करने का अधिकार है, किन्तु कर्म के फलों
के तुम अधिकारी नहीं हो | तुम न तो कभी अपने आपको अपने कर्मों के फलों का कारण मानो, न ही कर्म न करने में
कभी आसक्त होओ |
तात्पर्य
तात्पर्यः यहाँ पर तीन विचारणीय बातें हैं – कर्म (स्वधर्म), विकर्म तथा अकर्म | कर्म (स्वधर्म) वे
कार्य हैं जिनका आदेश प्रकृति के गुणों के रूप में प्राप्त किया जाता है | अधिकारी की सम्मति के
बिना किये गये कर्म विकर्म कहलाते हैं और अकर्म का अर्थ है – अपने कर्मों को न
करना | भगवान् ने अर्जुन को उपदेश दिया कि वह निष्क्रिय न हो, अपितु फल के प्रति
आसक्त हुए बिना अपना कर्म करे | कर्म फल के प्रति आसक्त रहने वाला भी कर्म का कारण है | इस तरह वह ऐसे
कर्मफलों का भोक्ता होता है |
जहाँ तक निर्धारित कर्मों का सम्बन्ध है वे तीन उपश्रेणियों के हो
सकते हैं – यथा नित्यकर्म, आपात्कालीन कर्म तथा इच्छित कर्म | नित्यकर्म फल की इच्छा के बिना
शास्त्रों के निर्देशानुसार सतोगण में रहकर किये जाते हैं | फल युक्त कर्म बन्धन
के कारण बनते हैं, अतः ऐसे कर्म अशुभ हैं | हर व्यक्ति को अपने कर्म पर अधिकार है, किन्तु उसे फल से
अनासक्त होकर कर्म करना चाहिए | ऐसे निष्काम कर्म निस्सन्देह मुक्ति पथ की ओर ले जाने वाले हैं |
अतएव भगवान् ने अर्जुन को फलासक्ति रहित होकर कर्म (स्वधर्म) के रूप
में युद्ध करने की आज्ञा दी | उसका युद्ध-विमुख होना आसक्ति का दूसरा पहलू है | ऐसी आसक्ति से कभी
मुक्ति पथ की प्राप्ति नहीं हो पाती | आसक्ति चाहे स्वीकारत्मक हो या
निषेधात्मक, वह बन्धन का कारण है | अकर्म पापमय है | अतः कर्तव्य के रूप
में युद्ध करना ही अर्जुन के लिए मुक्ति का एकमात्र कल्याणकारी मार्ग था |

In simple words we should always do our "Karma" but
not look for result. Believe me, if you do your job honestly, without shortcuts
, result will follow you. Thus cutting short of my long thoughts I suggest
following action we take in my views:
1.
Be honest.
Be honest
with yourselves, your near and dear ones, to society and finally to world at
last. we must be absolute honest with ourselves, as from other we can hide
things/ emotions/ truth from all but ourselves. Inside we all know where we are
at present, what we are doing. And above all if it is correct or not if it
positive or negative.
2.
Be positive.
Being
positive does not means we should not talk about problems and hide truth. But I
mean once we know the problem, we start to solve the issue rather than just remain
immersed in problem. Remember your departed near and dear ones or sick people.
Get up and take oath to help in whatever possible way to others, especially in
this crisis.
3.
lend a helping hand.
Some pure
souls are going out of their ways to help peoples in this crisis. See to them
help them in whatever way. If nothing much you can do help them monitorily. Even
a small help of ₹ 1 by each of Indian in a day can accumulate ₹ 1380000000/-.
See the power of contribution. We feel deeply sorry and anguished with the
world and people when we hear all bad things.
4.
For my businessmen/women brothers and sisters.
Remember in form of Human god has given us
noble body to do noble deed. We also know that if we earn only, we can help
others, but remember one thing that earning is one thing and honest earning is
other. Do not amess money and power on dead bodies/ miseries of people. Always
keep a profit margin for running of your home and family but keeping a huge
profit on basis of humanity is crime which we all know inside.
5.
Physical activities
Remember
what famous biologist Mr Charles Darwin said about “Survival of Fittest”. The
fittest among organism survives and rest perish. That does not means unfit organism
don’t survive but it simple meaning is that fit organism survive and multiply.
Olden days most of all humans were doing physical labours and were more fit. Now
with the advent of more and more machineries, our life become comfortable and sophisticated.
We hate to sweat or do physical labours. Someone aptly said “पहले हम भोजन के लिए दौड़ रहे थे अब हम पाचन के
लिए दौड़ रहे हैं। “
Meaning- “Earlier
we were running for food now we are running for digestion.”
Its very much required that we must remain physically
fit. Its well said that “A fitter body is require for a good brain and
beautiful soul.” Its same as where you want to keep your deities- of course at exceptionally
clean alter. Same our souls are purest, and they are part of god so we must
keep our body clean, fit and healthy. Even in case your home or city is in
lockdown do physical activity at least 1 hour a day by downloading any good app
or even doing yoga. Keep it simple in beginning as your body needs to be
accustomed. Please do complicated or intense exercise/Yoga under professional
supervision only as doing wrong steps will do more harm than benefit to body. Also
pleas be positive while doing exercise.
6.
Meditation.
Although
it is easier said than done. Meditation is wonderful tool provided to mankind
by our great ancestors. They help in soothing our nerves and bringing peace to
ourselves. It establishes a connection between us and our god or higher energy
or whatever you want to call. We can start simple meditation using so many apps
like “BeeZone” from brahmakumaris.
7.
Be informed but not involve.
We must
keep ourselves informed well with all latest happenings and news of world, but
same time we must not get involved with news only. Remember although news
channels and news papers are doing great jobs by bringing news to us whether it
is neutral or biased, they are getting paid for the same. We common people not
only pay money to watch them, but also getting emotionally drained by
continuously involving in their narratives. So please keep informed by just
watching or reading news for maximum of 1 hour and then watch some mind
refreshing serials, I prefers clean comedy serials as not only it boost our
mood, but also not drains unnecessarily by involving in them.
8.
Be neutral.
It
pains me to see how much divided humanity becomes. We divides not only on base
of our caste, religion, nationalities but also on pity political lines. Come on
people, having dialogues in any society is good, but when we are divided on political
lines it creates further damage to society then helping it. It must be duty of
top leaderships of political parties to respect other leader instead of making
mockery of them and teaching same to general public. “ A leader is good only
when he takes all together.” We must rise above our political affiliation in times
of unprecedent crisis and help each one not depending on his caste, creed, religion
or nationality or political affiliation. Always humanity, nation and society
comes 1st and then only political parties.
For administration.
Please for God's sake do pull all might of yourselves and perform well. We all are praying that next wave will not happen, but still prepare well by augmenting healthcare infrastructures, whether it happen or not. stock up all supplies. keep your eyes and ears open. Increase random testing. Involve civil society for tracking and isolation of infected people. Try to educated people so that their fear disappear but they should take all precautions. Involve all parties, all strata of people. Remember two brains are always better than one.
Do not hide truth and numbers. Be honest with your people, the same people who posed faith in you.
9.
Follow Covid Appropriate Behavior.
For God’s
sake please don’t become so callous so that you will regret later throughout life.
Please follow all Covid appropriate behaviors like
a. Wear a
mask always in public space.
b. Maintain
social distance.
c. Keep informed
but from authentic sources.
d. Please don’t
spread rumours and lies through any means like whatapp university.
e. Be cheerful.
f. Take covid
vaccination when your turn comes without fail.
g. Keep your body machineries well oiled i.e. do regular workout/ yoga.
I request all humans with folded hands to please help fellow
humans. Leave aside greed, dishonesty and cheating of people especially in this
trying times for humanity. “Be Human.”
Your suggestions are always welcome. Please share your suggestion via comments.
