We await new budgets at the Centre and in the states. With a hope that they deliver promises, meeting support architectural needs of the people at large and marginalized in particular. Will these be landmark budgets – personal, corporate, goods and services, wealth tax reforms, liberalization? Reduced fiscal deficit? Roadmap for Viksit Bharat? Key missions, schemes? % Social spend?
Heavy rains in several states, but no rains in several other states. Play of Ativrsti and Anavrsti.
Windows, Microsoft outage disrupts aviation. The world is affected badly for a day or two. It is getting back. Incidentally, China is not affected.
Biden quits the presidential race. Kamala Harris is the frontrunner for being nominated as a candidate by the Democrats. We have to wait till August 19-20 for confirmation. She also needs to announce her vice-presidential mate. Trump thinks she is an easy target to win over.
As joyous blessings rain from our Gurus, let us not forget that our innermost is the core driver for us. Gurus make us turn inwards towards our innermost, and the reason for existence, and nudge our Innermost to take charge, be the light, and charioteer our way. Provided we surrender fully, completely. With no doubt whatsoever. To be cared for, caressed, stripped, opened up, freed, sharpened, and put on fire.
We are blessed. So many have prepared and are preparing us, beyond the obvious ones, for our initiation and journey. I tried listing and then I gave up. I need to be forever grateful, and thankful, rather than this listing. Some stand out more prominently than others. Some have worked without our knowing at all. Now we know with hindsight. How wonderful it is. They ensured that we remained on course. They have given their Sakthi to build our agency on our ends and means. They ensured that we remained on the ground. They ensured that we stayed within the ends and means, despite several odds, near impossible situations. They put their lives to keep us alive. They staked their reputation so that our initiation was maintained. They have reposed their hope and faith in us. We need to live the promise and care, as we are charioteered forward in our journey.
Can I forget the one who prepared me and let me enter the first Gurukulam? One who kept on honing and challenging me on mathematics? Ones who made me friends with and love numbers? Ones who made us experiment, read, write books, and be language friendly? Ones who triggered us into social development and stayed there? Ones who prepared me to interact meaningfully with ‘all’ with ease? In managing myself in private and in public? Ones who demonstrated and rubbed lateral thinking onto us? Ones who took us to local communities, marginalized communities, women, elders, youth, farmers, weavers, and craftspersons to be with them, to grow with them, to be within them? Ones who tested and taught us Stamina, and self-control? Tough, challenging taskmasters? The ones who reposed and reposed huge faith? Ones who took us to ‘nature’ in its various hues, colours, and moods? Senior, Junior, Peer colleagues, students? So on and so forth.
Anyways, can we get going? Can we be happy, be kind, do good, and give our best anyway? Can we live with clear discovered, repurposed ends and means, anyway?
Yes, we can. If we coexist, if we flow with coexisting Gurus. In N? antahyoga for 7L.
