Escalating The Sri Lankan Issue
( May 28, 2014, Melbourne, Sri Lanka Guardian) Many
refer to the LTTE as terrorists. It is a verdict delivered by a
Government that subsequently included members of the LTTE as part of
itself. Terrorism is in the eyes of the beholder. I am also listed as a
criminal in the public ledgers of the Australian State of New South
Wales whose Premier resigned from his position as a result of a
Corruption inquiry. Such outcomes confirm to believers in a system - the
workings of Natural Justice within that system. In terms of the Sri
Lankan Government, the Terrorism label is for operational as well as
political reasons. To the extent they are for operational reasons – they
are positive even if we disagree. They helped escalate the issue to
global level. The political component does not have that power because
in governance politicians are the mothers of a government. Once mothers
become visible – beyond their immediate physical circle – they lose
their binding power.
Hence for those of us who are not part of a Government such name calling
needs to be based on our own Truth and/or needs of our official
positions, if we are to benefit from the opportunities arising from True
experience of those before us. Those who blindly follow the labels
given by their seniors in high positions – but without faith in those
persons – would acquire the forces that contributed to such
declarations. When such verdicts cause death – the risk of infection of
negative forces is high for those who lack faith. Those who believe are
insiders. Others need ‘evidence’ of wrong doing before finding fault.
Yesterday, I received an invitation to participate in a Q&A session
being organized by the Consortium of Tamil Associations NSW. The Guest
Panelists include the Hon Philip Ruddock, who is the most interactive
Australian politician known to me. The subject matter centers around the
UNHRC Resolution & Australia’s relationship with the Sri Lankan
Government. I seek to attend because I know how it feels to be labeled a
criminal by an authority that lacks credibility. The work to organize
this confirms that to the Australian Government which did not cosponsor
the UNHRC Resolution – the LTTE are not terrorists. This in turn would
help Tamils preserve with confidence their contributions to develop and
maintain their distinct identity including through the lives of LTTE
members who believed that they were fighting to protect that independent
identity. No human power is greater than belief.
Using LTTE leader - Karuna – to defeat the LTTE confirms low level of
ethics in war used by the Sri Lankan Government. This is enough to
confirm weaknesses to ‘insiders’. Such ‘conversion’ is the parallel of
plagiarism in academic work and is as wrong as religious conversions
through temptations of material benefits. . Given that the LTTE is an
unofficial formation – as far as the official system goes – the title of
‘former’ applies only when LTTE itself is ‘former’. So long as LTTE is
current – so is Karuna and all other LTTE leaders. Whether this is
acknowledged by the official system or not – the Energies work that way.
Mothers cannot become fathers and v.v. merely through outer physical
changes. A man could be a mother due to this invisible Energy / Shakthi.
Once our work – be it positive or negative – gets to Energy level – we
don’t need to consciously direct it. It works automatically. This I
believe is why Hindus call the mother / wife Shakthi/Energy. A mother is
the invisible force that binds or separates a family. Every person who
experiences more pain than pleasure – is a mother of the outcome. That
is the law of Nature.
Be it the Sinhala side or the Tamil side in relation to Sri Lanka, the
Energy of the group is accumulated through contributions by individuals.
The identity is maintained and strengthened through fathers who work to
‘show’ status. The deeper the bonding through Mother Energy - the
higher the level to which the status of the whole issue rises – as
happened in the case of LTTE. Once we develop the value of our
contribution to Energy level – we share that with all groups we feel a
part of. That is global value. LTTE and the Lankan Government are mere
temporary media for most of us towards developing this Energy – for
Bonding or for Separation. Low level investors would tend to ‘possess’
the respective groups and this naturally keeps the issue at the lower
level. When such is falsely elevated – as in getting certificates
without having earned them – the binding Natural Energy is buried by
artificial methods - to eventually become an insignificant part of the
world when the leftover is surfaced.
Where the binding Energy is consolidated in the consciousness of the
whole – the issue earns high status that would be sustained beyond one
generation and/or beyond local environments.
