Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse: 47

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन। मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥ २-४७.

Translation:

We are entitled to our actions, not to the fruit of our actions.

Today's story is crafted on the lines of this very same verse.

Want to know? Come with me.

Pothi padh padh Jag mua Pandit Bhayo Na Koi

Dhai Akshar Prem Ka padhe so Pandit hoy.

-Saint Kabir Das

Meaning:

Journey from Ego to Love.

Love that sees Humanity.

Does that sound complex?

Let’s break it down

Pothi padh padh Jag mua Pandit Bhayo Na Koi

A well-read person consumed with Ego

Though Delights in intelligence, could not attain wisdom.

Dhai Akshar Prem Ka padhe so Pandit hoy.

A well-read person filled with LOVE Attains the wisdom sacred.

Heads-up: while listening to the story, try to see beyond.

How to do that? On TRANSĪkS, Trinity (recognising the patterns, seeing the connection, joining the dots) is the path we provide.

Vande Mataram- I bow to the Motherland/I salute the Motherland- goes the English translation.

Vande Mataram holds immense power to become a sacred national call for the freedom of our nation.

If such is the case, Vande Mataram cannot be called a phrase or term, but a Sanskrit Mantra, as rightly stated by Sri Aurobindo.

Indeed, a Mantra in the true sense, for the Vande Mataram call had been and has been till date sending a chill and terror into the hearts of corrupt rulers & authorities.

Case in point:

• 1905- protest by the people of Bengal against the corrupt decision of the Partition of Bengal.
• 1907 - Madam Cama unfurling the earlier version of the Indian tricolour, with Vande Mataram emblazoned on it, in Germany.
• 1908- Revolutionary Khudiram Bose, at the tender age of 18, sacrificed his life with this sacred mantra on his lips.

The list will go on and on. I hope you got the gist.

If this mantra, even to this date, ignites the fire of the spirit of patriotism, spiritual reverence to safeguard our motherland, there ought to be magical powers in this sacred chant.

What is the magic?

PS: Tickets to the path of Trinity - Enjoy the action of the story by not being attached to the story; this creates the space to give attention to the action of the story rather than to the standard/ generic moral values.

The interpretation of the term "Enjoy" is in proportion to one's preconceived notion. #happyindependenceday #indianindependenceday #bankimchandrachatterjee #vandemataram #transdisciplinarylearning #story
