Just Because of him

It was Wednesday night and phone bell rang. One saint had called me and said, “Tushar Ji, are you watching television. I said no and questioned him that what has happened. He said some terrorist attacked at C.S.T.” I switched to news channel and to my horror I saw that it was C.S.T station where terrorists had opened fire. They where counting every single bullet they had and mercilessly killing innocent people. After some time ATS chief Hemant Karkare came to the spot and looking at him I thought that now things will be under control as top cop has taken things in his hand. I was feeling sleepy and rest assured that things will be under control I slept. Next morning my Manager called me and informed that office will be closed today. I switched on the T.V and was shocked to see the first news that ATS chief Hemant Karkare Shaheed, another top cop Vijay Salaskar and Ashok Kamte lost their lives. Then I realized the volume of attack. Terrorists had taken over Hotel Taj and Oberoi Sheraton. From their on I was in a state of depression. It was very frustrating to see innocent people die and that too so ruthlessly.
Tell me how you will feel when someone enters your house and starts shooting the people living in it. Even I felt that if I get opportunity then even I’ll shoot their people. Why every time one country is in question when terror strikes? Why every time only one religion is in question when terror strikes? I don’t care if an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind but life will be compensated by life was the only thing which was going in my mind at that time.
But again I started convincing myself. There is one story known as blind man story.
There was one blind man who was pushed by a person in a train. When the blind man shouted at the person in return the person abused. The blind man was so enraged that he pulled out the gun from his bag and fired six shots. Six people died on the spot but not a single one was the one who had pushed and abused him. This is known as blind revenge. In Hindi we call it Andha Kanoon. Even if I pull out the gun and start shooting people across the border it will be blind revenge as no one will be culprit among them.
Actually it is my misconception as this terrorist’s not even belong to any country or any religion. Few days back I was reading newspaper, I read that one South African person had kept his son in a garage for 4 years as a captive. When a child welfare organization managed to free that child the child was shouting that run run, world war is going on. The child was brain washed by his father that world war is going on and that is the reason he has hidden him in Garage. The child also trusted his father. Similarly this Terrorist’s are misguided youth’s/children’s who are brain washed in the name of religion.
I appeal all of you especially those who have witnessed this mayhem that an eye for an eye may be correct for a worldly person but not for me. There are so many reasons for me to think negative, there are so many reasons for me to abuse this people, there are so many reasons to abuse a particular Religion/Sect/Country but I’m refraining from it just because of one reason that few days back my True Master told that, “Har Bhaasha Har Desh ke Maanav apne hi toh saarein hain”. It is just because of him that I’m positive and optimistic. It is his wisdom that has not allowed the negativity to take over me.
People say that it is not war on Mumbai but it is war on our Country. But I’ll say that it is war on Humanity. People look at each other with suspicion. It seems as if they have forgotten to smile. The feeling of love has ceased. Such is the impact of terror that as soon as person boards a bus or local train he starts looking everywhere to check if there is any suspicious person or explosive around. Now the time has come to spread Babaji’s teachings as much as possible. Even we are on a mission, to make feel comfortable each and every person we meet, to see that smile is regained on their faces and happiness is restored.
