Ink-Blood19:52: Abha, hello!
Satyagraha19:53: Hello, my friend.
Ink-Blood19:53: So, how is it? the taste of eternity...
Satyagraha19:56: It is...to finally know...the full sweetness of Love, plucked from the tree of life's actions, and sown...by the seeds of our thoughts.
Ink-Blood19:56: I'm so honored for the oppurtunity to speak with you...
Satyagraha19:56: The honor is not on one side. It exists in our mututal respect for each other.
Ink-Blood19:57: I've always loved your ideas, and admired you.
Satyagraha19:57: I am no greater than any other man. All men can find knowledge of Rama, of God, of life, of love. Not all men seek. They are the only ones who can ever be lost; they are the lost ones, the only ones who do not know themselves- the ones who do not know God.
Ink-Blood19:59: You said once you would never become a Christian. Why not?
Satyagraha19:59: Aaah. I recall saying 'I would become a Christian- if I ever met one.' This idea comes from the conviction I felt that if Chritianity is true, as it claims, it must be something not just spoken out, but able to be lived. Truth, I cannot hold as something which cannot be internalized, and so I strove to find any said Christian who lived truth and not solely spoke truth. Therein lies the test. In your own time, the Bishop of Rome, Benedict XVI, wrote that the greatest proof of his ideology is not in the Church's apologists or arguments or debates, but in her saints, in blood shed for a belief. This is truth, and it is also what I sadly failed to find an example of.
Ink-Blood19:62: And, of course, your thoughts Adha on establishing peace? or on non-violence?
Satyagraha19:63: Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man. This is Satygraha, truthforce. Truth has the greatest, perhaps the only power to convict the hearts of mankind, and the truth is that each human being has this knowledge in him, this knowledge of not only what he is, but what he may become.
Ink-Blood19:63: It must have been strange coming from the Eastern culture and suddenly thrust into English society as a young man. Talk about a culture shock for you, I'm guessing...
Satyagraha19:64: Aahhaahh, yes it was quite, quite different. But, Western culture is a good thing---or, should i say, Western Civilization is a good idea. And, an idea?- a seed. To your earlier question, I recalled these words, of the mystic Mirabai. They express more fully than I have what it means to enter into eternity. See, do not just hear, but recognize the truth in them. See: the yearning of the heart of every man:
O Lord of Heavenly Blue,
My heart cannot rest until we are together,
Until we walk along the banks of the Jamuna
Deep into the night.
