Compassion and Cruelty

Today I came across two articles, one describing about humanity and compassion while another inhumanity and cruelty. The land that boasts religion, god and humanity and other human virtues seem to be stranger for basic human values. The star today reported about the brutal killings of dogs and cats in Setapak. It’s heart-wrenching to see how cruel these people are to those helpless animals and all for mere RM 30 per animal caught and killed. DBKL health department director Dr Zainol Ariffin Pawanchee, probably forgot to read his religious book to understand cruelty.

But it was completely opposite in Australia. Worst wildfire in the history of Australia is wrecking the country. Residences destroyed, lives lost and people have lost their loved ones and homes. Unlike in Malaysia, we could see a fire fighter shares his water with an injured Australian Koala. It’s so touching to see how compassionate people could become.

Where is the compassion Malaysia?

You and I the most dangerous predators of the land

FACT…

“According to scientists, if insects disappeared from this planet earth, all lives would stop or ceased completely in 5 years time as they are so important to the ecosystem. On the other hand if we human species disappeared, this planet would flourish in 5 years time.” What it means is that we the human species are the most dangerous predators on the earth.

The dark side of human species

We are multiplying like cancer-cells, we are couching, we are plundering, we are spreading and we are destroying. Humans are the only species that kill its own kind most frequently in the name of god. We are the only species that capable of racism, ethnocentrism, bigotry and hatred and war. We are only species that cause the destruction of other species and at this moment risking our own destruction.

The bright side of human species

We are the only species that ask ourselves where did we come from; what is the purpose and meaning of our existence; what happens to us after our death; do we have a soul; does god exist; if he does, does he care about us……

Watch here the world renowned mind and body healer speaks…

I must confess if only we had one Deepak Chopra in Malaysia, we could have achieved amazing unity among different ethnics. We wouldn’t have seen what we saw today. Malaysiakini reported “Ahmad’s supporters protest at Umno emergency meeting”, protestors shouted Hidup Melayu. Do we need such racial stand from Malays, Chinese or Indians?

We are one, all of us are created for one and only purpose, unfortunately we are so preoccupied with our infighting over race, religion and material.

Will we ever learn?

Malaysians' Unity in Diversity

It concerns nation; that is how it sounds, malaysiakini has almost all topics on Ahmad Ismail’s racial remark. Something must be fundamentally wrong in Malaysia that have resulted us into disputing about ones rights and loyalty as citizen. Is it true we still don’t trust each other and very much divided along racial line as Malay, Chinese, Indian and others?

What can we possibly do to strengthen our unity in diversity? Just few days ago a good friend of mine sent an email to me. A very good piece indeed, in fact I find the message is full of moral values that indirectly offer solutions to some of the concerns of our national unity. Well, it’s a speech of former president of India Hon. Abdul Kalam, delivered at University Malaya on 29.8.08.

Abdul Kalam says on…..

Forgiveness

In my search for evolving a peaceful and prosperous society, I got a part answer. My search for real truth continues. I visited an ancient Christian monastery in Bulgaria, where I had a discussion with highly experienced monks on the message of Tawang. The Monk added that forgiveness is also the foundation of good life.

Giving a trait of Happiness

Similarly, I had a memorable experience in the birth place of Swami Vivekananda, a youth monk of India who could keep the audience spell bound in eastern and western society with his inspirational messages of spirituality and practical life, I explained the Tawang experience to the disciples and they too felt the Tawang experience indeed is beautiful and they added "Trait of Giving " will add to peace and happiness.

Good Deed results in good actions

I visited Ajmer Sharif (in the state of Rajasthan) where I participated in the Friday Namaz. Here, the Sufi expert told me that Almighty's creation, the man, has been challenged with another powerful creation of Shaitan. Only good deeds lead to good thinking, good thinking results into actions radiating love as commanded by Almighty.

The message from all these and other spiritual thinkers is that there are many ideas and spiritual thoughts which transcend religions, geographies and time. If only we could bridge the spirituality among religions and nations, many of the problems like the gaps between haves and have nots, deprivation causing unrest leading to extremism, the remnants of past animosities and war and several other road blocks to peace and prosperity can be tackled. I am sure the youth of Malaysia will be able to work on this theme for a safe world that they dream.

Dialogue of Cultures

I would like to recall one incident which commonly occurs in many parts of my country. I have witnessed this event when I was a young boy (10 yrs). In our house, periodically I used to see three different unique personalities meet. Pakshi Lakshmana Shastrigal, who was the head priest of the famous Rameshwaram temple and a vedic scholar, Rev Father Bodal, who built the first church in Rameswaram Island and my father who was an Imam in the mosque. All three of them used to sit and discuss the islands problems and find solutions. In addition they built several religious connectivities with compassion. These connectivities quietly spread to others in the island like the fragrance from the flowers. This sight always comes to my mind whenever, I discuss with people on Dialogue of religions. India has had this advantage of integration of minds for thousands of years. Throughout the world, the need to have a frank dialogue among cultures, religions and civilizations has been felt now more than ever. Now let me talk to you of a modern day platform for experimenting some of the S&T ideas of the youth.
