Do you all think that simplicity
is a simplification of existence;
and simple wisdom is politely
non-violent?! Do you think that
all this patience of simplicity is passive?
I remember grandmother simply,
patiently weaving those mats of
palm leaves and bamboo strips!
We slept on bare floors with few
paddings, because we were innocently
bare! Nakedness is neither obscene
nor vulgar in its innocence! I remember,
the little epitome of the girl child, taking
a cold-bucket shower at the well; and
I thought – how wonderfully pure is that?!!
Sometimes, I remember so much with love!
Its tenderness in memorial immemorial
pictograms! How brave is love, without the
fear of losing it?!! That is simply innocence!
And yet, we are all flowers of purity, undermined
by evil. Should we fear its power over us?!
Someone told me that there is none good and
none evil? I should know better the fallacy
in that statement; that there are no middling comparatives,
no mild abstractions, having fought evil for an eternity!!
Yet I have, so far, seldom called out other
people’s hypocritical compliance with evil
(realising that there is not much strength of
character in others, as there is in me; and they
can’t be blamed for it). I know
I have a duty to protect in spite of my admonishing
you all for a failure of integrity!!! Even patient sublimity
can get lost in the substance of substantial
perennial waiting!! Humbly, I ask you all, then,
to see my point of view! I do not fear evil or the
consequences of daring it! I just get on with my
duty! I beseech you all to at least attempt to do
yours, I know it is not easy to bear backlashes
in a world of survival! I tell you all, hypocrisy
is not a nice tag, even though it may seem
like a convenient necessity in the overwhelming
imposition by treachery! I can’t keep always
fighting like a veracious warrior with so many
blindfolds put on me and so many, many
myriads of people to take care of! Is all your
vision in a fog? Or is there a fog in your visions?
