Thank you Jaminiji

[Guest guest]

Namaste Brother Jamini,

 

Thanks for your message. I'm responding with a lot of love to you as

a sibling in God. What I meant by "Merit is not selective of

anything" was that "anyone can perfomrm penances and make efforts to

engage in meritous and virtuous activity".

 

About reservations for any creed, caste or peoples of the world, all

are God's children and one life sustains another in some way as all

are interconnected in some karma or rnanubandhana. This is Mother

Nature. All are also leela and maya who are great teachers whether

they are advantaged or disadvantaged in soceity. All are also

mirrors that reflect one another. The perception that one is lower

or higher than the other, is a form of challenge. If one had to

score high marks to get somewhere while another can get in with

lower marks, it is a challenge to us to try and perform better, a

test of character, for a our own good perhaps.

 

It is natural for those who engage fully in leela and maya to want

more and more until they can go beyond these. This happens

everywhere in the world. The majority of the world's population is

shudra by birth, by choice or by merit. Please don't get me wrong

but on subtler understandings, it is said that all are born shudras

and they only become Brahmin by merit. A shudra can be a noble

Brahmin in nature while a Brahmin may be shudra in nature. This is

all the play of God and the Great Rishis who created everything who

have a great sense of humour and irony perhaps

 

Om Namah Shivaya

Best regards

Simone

Mother Earth planet and merit is not selective of caste or religious

path either". I wish it was true in India. India has a funny system

of "reservations" like you have for the aboriginals or the Red

Indians in the USA - but it is a one time reservation which you

people follow. His / her next gen does not get the benefits.

> In India, I don't know what the Brahmins have down 1000s of years

ago, that the Govt reserves everything from free education to

lowering of marks for entry to Civil Services, Medical Schools, etc.

the level of reservation has reached 79%. I being a brahmin have to

score 95%+ marks to get admission to say a medical college but

these "other" called scheduled tribe and scheduled caste just have

to get 50% and walk into the medical school, every where you will

come across them sitting in front of you to the extent that even

when they get a job ahead of the most eligible brahmin they are

given accellerated promotions, it is a stinking system out here.

These (not all though) are the people ruining the Country - when it

comes to joining the defence services they say "no no what if I get

killed"...because they know very well that a pretty safe and good

job is waiting for them. This the 3rd or 4th generation and their

enjoyment is not over..they want more and more everyday.

> This boils every brahmins' blood but our politicians just want to

get votes foresaking the Country...

that matter any sane person would do so. This is the reason the

words like shudra are hated in India..esp. by the brahmins.
