East love
Namaste,
I grew up in tge West and was raised by good and intelligent people.
For 25, years all the people i knew acted and behaved as if they are the body they occupy. They are not evil by themselves, but they are completely unaware of our nature. Namaste. Being unaware is understwood by me, it is normal. How is it that most of the western people I know, subconsciously choose not to want to know what they are from the inside. Thei focus of attention is only towards outside world and other people most of the time. What they really desire is nonstop pleasure from living And that is why they go to work, because money is the main means to get satusfaction of the senses. And at night their best friend is the TV, which is a desease.
The east has wisdom. They shared their philosophy and teaching with the world. They gave deeper understanding with yoga, vedas, upanishads to the west.
And now I see some indian rock band, created from ISCON members, playing rock instrumental on a guitar and singing maha mantra in indian, in a western-rock manner. Should I explain who created rock music, what its philosophy is and what it is all about?
Is this what the east took from the west in exchange for the wisdom it gave ? It is a poison this one.
