these tails uh ultimately they all ended with war all three and
in the end in fact nursing actually literally tore uh the king's flesh so
ultimately does that mean that one of the and these scriptures are meant to give us
the essence of how to reach god so is that mean that we have to lead to war in order to get to god
you see two things interesting things that this young gentleman has mentioned sometimes
in this guise of being known violent you know ahimsa and gandhi we are too laid back
sometimes we may be hiding cowardice under the guise of ahimsa watch it infer gandhi
told that don't don't use cowardice don't hide cowardice in the guise of ahimsa ahinsa needs
tremendous courage to stand up for ideals high principles and take it to his conclusion requires
tremendous courage so himself is not a minor idea at the same time you see what is happening is this
this ancient stories are telling us that in many ways the only way you could resolve human conflict
or human issues was through violence see the story of ram and ravana story of kansan and krishna the
story of you know a nursing and and hierarchical so all these stories in a way they are reflecting
if you look at the story of the 10 avatars in any way they're showing the evolution of humanity
the first avatar is the fish the second one tortoise and so on so you can see evolutionary
process that's why we're not difficult evolution we're reflecting that through the stories
but here the conflict was always seen to end up in if you like violent resolution
but now we see we come with say buddha the ninth avatar as human beings evolve the way they resolve
human issues also evolves so with buddha we see the first time the ninth avatar of vishnu
say look at the way he lived his life what kind of conflict the message of peace permeated not only
india permeated all of southeast asia without this without any bloodshed look imagine no bloodshed
this one gentleman this one great personality managed to influence the whole of southeast asia
the first missionary religion was not christianity the first was buddhism and look at the way buddha
promoted these high ideals without bloodshed without force without fraud without fear
that's just the force of reasoning power of reasoning lifted the whole of humanity whole of
india this was the golden period for india just post buddhism and throughout southeast asia and
then you see i must touch on this because i must i think pay tribute and then gandhi came he picked
up tools of that came out from religion satya nahinsa standing up for what is right standing
up for justice and you doing it in a non-violent form manner so the idea of civil disobedience
became visible for the first time now not only was it successful in it but be careful this comes in
context if hitler was ruling india gandhi said fight him physically find out you know go for it
bombing but because of britain he there they are already evolved the british are evolved so he said
i know i'll prick their conscience they'll run away and they ran away so he managed to produce on
the first time the world stage he produced a tool of resolving human conflict in a humane manner
and see the power of this teaching you know today in obama's office he's got a portrait of gandhi he
says i mustn't forget why i'm here it is because of his teaching that martin luther king managed
to get civil rights for his black people and in 60 years time these people were asked to sit at
the back of the bus that these slaves who built the white house are rolling from the white house
and i think they should go and produce a create a big shrine of gandhian crack coconuts there every
day look this is what is brought about for them must give you full dignity this is what
religion continue to evolve and the way we resolve issues political issues even must
also evolve and gandhi has put on the world state something drama look that's why this green peace
and they mess up everybody and they succeed in getting the attention of the whole world
without violence they can really put their bring
you know hold everything down civil disobedience a very powerful tool that anybody can use
you
