It is in times of crises that we see our true character as an individual, family, nation, etc. The virus is indiscriminate in its attack on mankind- it doesn’t respect National boundaries, social status, financial position, skills or anything for that matter. Should we?
We have created various ways of dividing ourselves and formed our ways of life but are reminded by an invisible virus that at the end of the day we are all humans and that when the game is over the king and the pawn return to the same box.
Today is Ram Navami – we celebrate the best values that mankind can ever live by and have given it the form of Lord Ram. All Gods essentially indicate the values that we must incorporate in our daily lives, they’re not just idols in temples to be worshipped. The idol is just the form for the inherent values we seek in ourselves. The process of Prayer means that we commit to abide by those set of values…
Since now we have all the time in the world to reflect, we could observe what is our own value framework as against the Gods we pray to and have the courage to make the change in this time of crises when it’s absolutely needed.
