Mr. Rajiv Dogra’s has written my Dil ki baat which I have been saying all along. I wish the PM or his aids read this write-up to him. Our inaction is perceived by the world as weakness. I felt the following two paragraphs convey the essence and carry the real punch.
“All this, the Maldivian homily and the British self-interest, only reinforce the point that we may have become the victims of our goodness and of our proclivity to rush to the world to seek their aid in preventing terror attacks from Pakistan.
We may be doing so out of a moral imagination; the idealistic conviction that truth and peaceful persuasion triumph ultimately. Sadly, however, we live in an imperfect world. Had it been otherwise, would there have been any need for the sermon of Bhagavad Gita? “I wish to quote a very popular verse from the Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2:
Bhagavad Gita 2.47
karmany evadhikaras te
ma phalesu kadacana
ma karma-phala-hetur bhur
ma te sango ’stv akarmani
Translation
You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action.Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.
