may whole of humanity unite and strengthen in love so much that terrorism fades away on its own

Nothing wrong in imagining… as John Lennon would agree…

This morning it was so depressing watching the news. I really wonder
how much these Indian news channels are helping (the wrong party!) Many
of the scenes from the idiot box are showing with full zoom where
commandos are hiding – wouldn’t this give a clear idea to other remote
part of the terrorist gang who’re watching the same channels, and are
surely in radio contact with the perpetrators in some way? With some
common sense they should prefer security instead of sensationalisation! But otherwise they’re doing a marvellous and really courageous job of going out there and letting us know what’s going on.

I’ve hardly found entertaining the graphic
violent movies that make a game of death. And this is hard reality –
its so terribly painful just watching it – I can’t imagine people who
are going through it. One of my friends called and we spoke about it,
and he said he’d dedicated his one hour morning meditation in the to
all those affected in Mumbai. Much more practical way of dealing with
it I realised.

Going one step beyond the obvious, if we reflect
on Herman Hesse’s words “You only experience that which is within you”
– I feel that in a way (but what way I don’t know) – in a way –
humanity on the whole, of course including me, is responsible for this violence.
May we individual basis cultivate peace in our hearts.
