The Pity of Lord Jagannath
It's might be pinching or creating a strong hatred, as the reader looks to the headline. But hold on. As this story will unfold, even the hard critics will deny even thinking twice for any kind of defamation suit. Because, it's not about me, or it's not a personal story of mine or any individual other than me.
A personal havoc could be unbearable but when a seemingly similar havoc on a social scale builds up, than it's not about pain or suffering, it's a disaster unfolding overtime and has every possibility of becoming a catastrophe.
This phenomena striked me as I recieved a quote "When the Value is Unknown, Misuse is Inevitable". Fine, the sender might wants to convey a personal message, reminding, incalibre or the ignorance of some kind, or something from any events, digging & interpreting to judge and satify their intentions. It might sound more satarical. But without digging into, more on it, a very deep penetrating & worrying issue, striked me hard, that is concerned with the nation, state & very much related to the more favoured God of a state or nation. So it's better to talk on this.
There is a great saying that "With Power Comes Great Responsibility" and another says, "Unity is Strength". These abosolute truths can only be chanellised, only by a noble person. While drawing the parameters of a noble person, majority misunderstood it, as either they borrow the standards from a sage, who never participate in worldy matters and busy in contemplation or from many of such old veterans amongst many traditions and tribes, who enjoys meals, gossiping & criticizing on various dramas of this world. While the rescue could only comes, from who is humbly obliged to those great teachings of great ancient sage artists, who suffered thy to pave a harmonious world, in a hope that future generations, will never have to walk the same path of sufferings & pain again.
In a nation of many states, when governance, education, justice, hunger, sufferings, opportunity, could not reach to the needy (wrong to say failed), there is always a hidden resentment, that looks forward for a revolt out of discouragement. That too often causes a bifurcation of states or creating more districts or establishment of addition apex courts. That simply means, when a state is born by a proud feeling that they have an absolute lord, who shows & guides the way failed miserably. Then obviously a question arises, who were those, to whom must thank for successfully created boundaries but failed to their adorable lord by restricting their vision of governance to come only from limited zones or quarters. Almost nearing a century of boasting to have a state, but still the vision seems to follow a pushing world of technology, that obviously a compulsion which must be heard with respect. But the vision failed as it is most often partisans and lags in many aspect in its naturality, boasting of the lord, who calls on all of its inhabitants and all from nation & world, without any differences, during the great chariot festival. And that is quite a clear divergence act of what is celebrated, what is preached, what is acted upon.
This unnatural divergence, is roaring from thousand years, to look to the heart of the beloved lord of the state & who resides in that heart. As it is quite common in many traditions & cultures around the world, that lords of theirs can only be satisfied, by a offering, that is close to their heart. While that only remains a boasted traditions, the lord is truly sidelined.
Only a noble heart could see, who resides in the heart of lord. Some says it's the people sufferings, needy, pained, resides in the lord's heart. But by that understanding, too the seemingly noble man, loosing a track to becoming a monk who rarely asks for something. But the lord is rich, rich in all its attributes, wealthiest of wealthy, rich in wisdom, witty, literature, arts, & science of all kinds. Then, who resides in the lord's heart, that is ignorant to many faiths and also to those, who are priviledged being near to lord, busy in many duties and that's a obvious pity.
To put it simple to many hearts eager to know, the voice is loud & clear, it's the great Mahadeva, the great Mahabudhha, the great Christ of infinite love, the great Mahaveera, the great Guru Govind Singh who unflenchdly let his skin to be removed with unbearable pain from salts covered, only to save those fellowman, who they rarely knew.
As many might throw a critic, as their ignorant hearts always do, by it's too philosophical and not realistic. Ask thyself, while visiting the temples or churches, and the answer will straight comes to your heart, that the Great Mahadeva and Great Mahabudhha, only resides in the heart of your lord's temple, to that Mahadeva, whom many calls as Shudra while performing rituals in many corners and do not want him to be a part of the ritual.
So, the final lines can only be drawn from deep of your pious heart, that is as clear as a faraway lake in some far northeasten states, tourists often visit.
It says understand Mahadeva & you will understand your most loving lord.
