Violence and ideals

Yes, Virginia tech was a tragedy but I guess for that we all human beings around the world are responsible when we see from a higher perspective considering wars happening all around. Riots in India, burning effigies of cricketers, iraq catastrophe etc. Since the world is a reflection of each individual. It is highly important that we as individuals clear ourselves of greed, malice, hatred, jealousy, ambition, wanting to become, power, control and truly learn to live with “what is”. Understanding human conditioning, one needs to throw all ideals ,religion, what Krishna said,Buddha said etc and focus on “what is “
Its funny that in nature we are violent and with out understanding violence we create the ideal of nonviolence which is not factual. Whats is factual is say for eg “I am greedy or a liar:. The very awareness of what u r will free u from that quality. Instead we try to live according to ideals that are nonexistent and we wrestle with ourselves. Don’t worry about who is saying this( speaker here) instead if we can reflect on the truth of what is being said and if we are earnest enough to enquire into the truth then we would live life completely and not superficially. Self knowledge is the basis for true freedom. Don’t take my word as a mantha but do see the truth of it without judgment or prejudice.

Badri hits one of most important prices we must pay for the very freedom we are enjoying today: the courage to look into ourselves.

constant vigilance may seem like a good logical solution but having the guts to search our hearts and souls as to why is even better!
