Love for the motherland is not an empty rhetoric. It is the respect for your national symbols, culture, traditions, art, literature and the way of life. It is the ultimate truth as perceived by the nation and not a subject of debate or reason.
The two versions of a sloka are given below, in this connection :-
* Friends, riches and grains are highly honoured in this world. But mother and motherland are superior even to heaven.
In another version, it is spoken by Rama to Lakshmana.
* Lakshmana, even this golden Lanka does not appeal to me. Mother and motherland are superior even to heaven.
What is 'janma bhumi'?
This idea has been beautifully articulated by the Prime Minister through his, "IDEA OF INDIA".
"Idea of India....Satyameva Jayate,
Idea of India.....Ahimsa Parmo Dharma,
Idea of India.....Ekam Sad Viprah Bahudha Vadanti,
Idea of India.....Paudhe mein bhi parmatma,
Idea of India.....Vasudeiva Kutumbakam,
Idea of India.....Sarva Panth Sambhav
Idea of India.....Appo deepo bhava,
Idea of India.....Ten Takhtein Bhunjitha,
Idea of India......"
My take
No wonder, the world leaders have a deep respect for him.
Tailpiece.
The septic tank cleaning team fetched up at a quarter past 1 and commenced their work. Highly professional, I must reiterate. Finished up their job at about a quarter to 4.
Got up at a trifle before 6, the chores and was ready by a half past 10.
Lekha had gone across to the ration stand to collect our dues of grains during the month. I, then, went across for bank work and to buy milk.
The Eureka Forbes service guy, Vaishnav, arrived by a quarter past 3 and commenced the AMC, that I'd inked in the forenoon.
Asif and his team came by to pack the septic tank top.
