On
a cold day during the winter season a small and innocent boy was sitting by the
fire. He did not know much about the new world where he was born, but he wanted
to learn everything and decided to ask the old woman who was taking care of him
many questions.
He
asked: "Nanny you have never told me anything about your life. One day you
told me that you were not born in India, but you did not want to tell me more
about it."
The
old woman looked at the tiny boy and said in a soft tone:
"Dewanand
you are too small to know everything about the life outside. The world is cruel
and hard. This question is wise and I will tell you the truth, if you really
want to know everything about my life."
Dewanand
yawned: "Good, tell me everything, because I am small and I want to know
this world where I must live now."
The
wise and highly aged woman nipped some strong tea and started talking.
"I
was born very long ago in the city of darkness. Life was not pleasant, because
there was no peace and morality. You do not know the history of India very well,
but I will tell you everything. There was a man who fell in love with his dreams
of a new future. He was known as the Mahatma, because his dreams were very great
and his philosophy was based upon non-violence, infinite goodness and endless
sacrifice. The Mahatma gave birth to a son and a daughter during his holy life.
He believed in the purity of small boys and he taught his daughter to suffer and
deny her existence as a human being. Shortly after the birth of his two children
he died peacefully, after a gun fired at him.
The
daughter grew up in poverty and loneliness. Nobody took care of her, but she
developed a pure mind and the Hindu religion was her secret weapon. Her thoughts
were brilliant and many demons tried to abuse her, but she survived and became a
beautiful young woman. Because of her smartness she found a caring husband and
married. She bore many children and maybe you are one of them at this moment.
The whole world admired the strong morality of her offspring and some of them
became the fresh stars of the computer industry. One son even became the newborn
genius of the chess game. It was wonderful to see that everybody opened the
doors for her children and she was so happy to feel the love and devotion of her
one billion
children. Those were the real fruits of her suffering and peaceful
survival strategy. Her Dharma was to give the world the honey of ancient
knowledge and peaceful existence."
Suddenly
Dewanand asked: "What was the name of the daughter of the Mahatma?"
The
mature talker smiled and answered: "Dewanand you are a good listener.
Nowadays everybody says that her name is Mother India or Bharat. She gave birth
to you and your whole family. Do you understand?"
"Yes,
the Mahatma was really a great man, because his daughter became a diamond of the
world. I understand. But what happened to the son? Can you tell me that?"
The
patient nanny kept silent for a few minutes, looked at the fire and started
telling the secret life story of the only son of the Mahatma.
"In
fact they were twins during birth. They were connected with each other, but they
hated living together. I was born in the western part in the city of darkness
and violence. The eastern son invaded my home city and then a big fight started.
I had to observe the slaughter of my parents and my whole Muslim family. After
my only sister was raped, the eastern son ripped her genitals with a bayonet and
she died slowly, while bleeding with extreme pains. Then it was my turn to get
mutilated for life. The eastern son unscrupulously tortured me first and then he
raped me in a cruel way. As a young girl of eleven I did not know the pain of
these male tortures. I fought for my life and lost consciousness."
Tears
were rolling out from her eyes, but she kept on telling the punishments.
"Dewanand,
in fact you are too young to hear these awful things. But you must grow up
quickly, because the world will not wait for your maturity. Being young and wise
is very good for a boy. Now you understand that the son of the Mahatma build
friendship with the demons of the earth. All his friends were criminals. These
gangsters thought that a criminal lifestyle is the best way of existence,
because the fear of the whole world gives happiness and a feeling of being
almighty and holy. Our Mahatma was a great man, but he did not know the future.
Now he is dead, but if he were alive then he would have committed suicide to try
stopping his criminal son. The Mahatma thought that the best punishment for a
criminal is forgiveness, but I think that he was completely wrong. Every born
criminal will become even worse after forgiveness, because he will conclude that
he has the power to become the monistic god of the world. We humans can only
beseech Brahman, because this almighty cosmic energy is infinite and the only
cause of our own existence. By understanding Brahman we realize ourselves.
You
are too young to fully understand my life. The only son of the Mahatma destroyed
my youth and mutilated me for life. All my vital female organs were destroyed,
because he also tried to rip my body apart. I did not die, because a Hindu
medical expert repaired my mutilated body and saved my life. After I recovered,
I discovered that I was unable to marry a man and start a normal romance life as
a woman. That's why I started working as a nanny of abandoned Hindu children.
The Mahatma ordered Hindus to raise every orphaned Muslim child as a good
Muslim, as a revenge for the killings of Muslims. And I decided to obey him. As
a Muslim woman I had the duty to raise the forgotten Hindu children as good
Hindus.
Dewanand
interrupted: "Are you Muslim?"
The
old woman looked with sadness in her eyes and replied: "The Mahatma was a
man from the future. He was born in a wrong time and a wrong place. The greatest
mistake of the Mahatma was that he did not know the real message of the Bhagavad
Gita. Krishna orders Arjuna to fiercely punish his own bad family, because only
then social order can be restored. Maybe I am an old woman now, but I am not
insane yet. The Mahatma took the wrong decision to plead for rewarding his
criminal son, by stopping to eat as a means of his punishing the son and also
offering his forgiveness. I have forgiven the criminal twin-sons of the Mahatma
many decades ago, and have chosen the way of karma yoga. That's why I will raise
you to become an intelligent
and powerful Hindu man. I must spend my whole life to forgive his
criminal son, by
living in
this way. That is my karma.
Dewanand
asked the last questions: "What happened to the criminal twin-sons of the
Mahatma and what is their real name?"
His
tired nanny hesitated for a while and then continued her tale.
"Many
years ago the whole world tried to punish the western son, but they failed
completely. The criminal son became the biggest dealer of drugs and he is raping
and torturing all women that he can get. In his home there is only hate, terror
and suffering. His demonic children have been killed by foreign armies and after
that big awful war, the whole world decided to forget him. He lives now alone
and nobody wants to be his friend. As a real demon he has to live underground in
the darkest and dirtiest caves of the underworld. I do not want to tell you his
name, because this name will make my tongue dirty forever."
Dewanand
observed his nanny, because she fell silent. At last she finished with the
words: "I am a little tired now. Drink some hot chocolate milk and go to
sleep. Tomorrow will be a new day for you and then you will be a little bit
bigger and smarter."
