Indeed, India is worthy of tremendous respect. The only nation in the

world where there is great poverty, yet this poverty does not destroy the

population or cause serious misery. The only nation that has been invaded

countless times, yet still survives whole and untouched, unharmed. And the

only nation where religion is not a church to go to every Sunday, but is a

way of life, is life itself.

 

With Love,

Hari Om Tim:

 

You said it beautifully and I want add some additional points from your

observation. First poverty is an indicator of level of material comforts, and

the people of India (especially those live in remote

rural India) were not affected by external influence of material comforts.

Those who went to seek happiness in material comforts were the most most

disappointed. They have to undertake miserable journey to

get the comforts, and then extended their misery to safeguard the comforts,

finally they become more miserable when they lose the comforts. A spiritual

person understands that happiness is within and not in

external objects. We can experience Happiness and Love if we forego selfish

desires.

 

Now India is experencing the newest wave of invasion - western materializm and

it is taking its roots in the urban cities of India. I hope that India resists

this invasion one more time and reestablish its

True Nature!
