44. Expand brotherhood…………. Love all.
This notion was also
received while vacating our house in village, after it was sold. Along with the
stamped documents dating back to 1888, I found, what is known as a ‘Family tree’.
It is a big tree with trunk as my 8th generation forefather and names
of successive generations spreading out as smaller branches. I never knew the
name of my grate grand father ,forget the eighth generation fore fathers.
I noticed, while careful
observations, that seventy five percent population of my village community,
were covered as various branches and sub-branches of this giant tree. How
amazing!
Suddenly I got an idea.
Suppose, if I extend the tree further down to say one thousand generations, how
will a look?. Will it cover all the population of my district of say state? possibility,
yes. What if I extend it to one thousand generation? Are we all not, virtually,
brother in true sense? What makes us that unhappy with our brothers? What is
that, we want to prove and capture from our brothers?
The other day, while
traveling through Mumbai suburban train, I witnessed a hot argument between two
such brothers for a seat., the seat, which will have to be vacated after half
an hour. Even first class suburban train passengers quarrel over seat. The only
difference between the arguments in second class and first class compartment is
that, the former argue in Hindi while the later argue in English!
Are they not brother of
a tree of the thousand years? Who knows?
Expand brotherhood –
love all.
