this healthy debate reminds me of the "inconceivable simultaneous nondifference-n-difference"..
overwhelmed by the mutual respect and regard the dharmicists share with each other, i pray all our sages, siddhas and Acharyas and buddhas to bind us all to the Truth, with the yoke of Love.
a prayer for myself and for my country and for my world.
may Gurus,siddhas,rishis,Bodhisattvas & Jinas
make your children ascetic-rulers
may sikhs, rajputs and kshatriyas
make your children obedient warriors for Dharma
may Jains and Vaishyas
make your children philanthropic enterprenuers & employers.
may your children seek only Truth and Knowledge living at their teacher's feet.
may they become Householders only to live up to,and to sponsor, their sva-Dharma.
may they experiment with Truth as the veteran champions of their sva-Dharma
may they ripen in to the ascetic-teachers and preachers for all the seekers gen-next
Then i will die to serve & follow your children,
expecting nothing in return.
I will learn from your children by serving them, which wud be my gr8est fortune.
I cannot afford the gr8 minds of my country go waste their lives in petty survival tasks
or daily chores like housekeeping,
even a layman like me can do these.
treat me with compassion, even if not with love.
treat me as worthy n useful, even if not as an equal.
try n touch my heart with ur words n deeds, even if not my body with yours.
Then why wud i hate to pass on my social status to my own children ??
ur untouchable Hindu[="Indian"]servant.
