Peace and Love

Peace and Love

 

I read about Tagore Almeida in a local feature. What he said about changing

people caught

my eye at first. Going through the feature, I had doubts if I had anything to

do at his

sites or if it was all film related. After all films are a wonderful medium to

reach

people, but I didn & #65533;t know if I could be a part of Tagore's message or

not. Not

that I had any problems being in a shot or calling the shots, but would I be a

part of

the movement or get washed away in the movement as a wannabe? That was all in a

moment's

passing. The mind is it own master. Nevertheless, something in his message is

a part of

me & #65533; change.

 

Confucius says that change is the only constant in life. The site name

(www.theunculturecompany.com) talked about a company, and I became sure that

this was

either the large screen or the small screen. But when I went there, it was all

about the

big screen & #65533; LIFE. My dealings with Tagore have been very real and

prompt; and in

him I find a compatriot and a much grounded person.

 

When Tagore urged me to write something for humanity, I was really excited and

primed.

But I couldn & #65533;t muster a topic to write as my mind was full and time

really short.

So I started asking family, friends and colleagues as to what humanity is in

real need of

(mind you & #65533; not wants). And it all pointed to 'peace and love'.

 

These words owe their significance to their lack in modern world rather than its

presence

& #65533; sad but true. Time is moving at a very fast pace and we have lost

track of

ourselves. Trying to define peace would be easier if we all took the time to

think what

all it is not. That's easy and the true meaning and measure of peace will

materialize in

your thoughts without any verbal candor.

 

Students of the powerful Kriya yoga learn introspection before they can get on

with their

practice. We all need to; believe me on this one. We all read newspapers; take

a hard

look at it today. Is there any news that is going to better humanity, something

that can

bring a positive change in the life you live? Other than classifieds and

matrimonials, I

doubt there is next-to-nil things that will let you change / grow as a person.

Is there

anything other than political news, strife, war, strikes, violence, crime, etc.

in it? I

doubt so. At times, I go without reading the news and I find that I miss out

nothing

more than conversation pieces at the table. Certain psychologists say that

reading the

newspaper in the early morning or before bed can be detrimental to our psyche

because it

sets up how you set foot into the day or how you reiterate the day when your

cells are

recharging during sleep. Yet this is what we all do in our time.
