Complete Independence for me

By Shriti Baral,(V),Him Joyti School

Independence of my dream, Ram-Rajya, i.e. the kingdom of God on earth. This presupposes that all are pure or will become pure if they are not. And purity must go hand in hand with wisdom. No one would then harbor any distinction between communities and castes. Everyone would be regarded as equal with oneself and hold them together in the golden net of love and brotherhood. No one would regard another as untouchable. The toiling laborer and the rich capitalist would be on par with each other. Everyone would know how to earn an honest living by the sweat of one’s brow and make no distinction between intellectual and physical labor. To hasten this consummation, we would voluntarily turn ourselves into scavengers. No one who has wisdom will touch opium, liquor or any intoxicants. Everybody would observe Swadeshi as the rule of life and regard every woman (except his wife, sister and mother) as his mother, daughter or sister and never lust after her in his heart. He would be ready to lay down his life if the occasion demanded it and never take another’s life or trample on their independence.
