If those coward terrorists want to use our weakness of
clinging to life as their shield is it right for us to become one? ………. Just think!!!!!!
Terrorist are no heroes they
take on innocents to vent their anger or fulfill their demands. A person is
trained to be a terrorist by making him believe that the act will get him Jannat after his death. In reality such acts create hell and havoc on earth which
is regarded as heaven by some who are alive. It is not the terrorist who gets
into the act who is intelligent but the one who masterminds the attack. But can
a person be brainwashed to believe that he gets an easy gate pass to heaven if
he does what no God or Philosophy has ever agreed to?
Vendanta advises a seeker to
go beyond the body and mind and for a seeker it seems to be a Herculean task.
How is it that a terrorist easily accepts it and is ready to blow himself up? Is
it because in a hostage situation the people held in hostage are more clinging
to life than those dreaded terrorists? Every person struck in such a hostage situation wants
to escape alive and is not bothered what happens to others but in contrast the
entire terrorist lot in the mission are ready to die. How ? what kind of mindset is it?
Is the desire to cling to
life the trump card for the terrorists?
Yes, agreed that every person has a right to live but it is not the yearn to live but the attachment towards our near and dear ones which plays a crucial role. Those dreaded coward terrorists are detached from their family and friends. May be it could be one of the reason for them to foolishly agree to blow themselves up.

A soldier is not detached
from his family and friends yet is ready to sacrifice his life. Is their no
clinging for life in a solider then? Only a patriot can become a solider and
for a patriot it is his country and the safety of his country men which come
first. Hence he is ready for anything that might happen when he is confronting
an anti-national.
There is a solider in every
one of us simply because we are all patriots. When we do not cling to life at a
hostage situation, what can the terrorist group do? It is very easy to say than
being present in such a situation but if one thinks beyond the body and mind
realm it will be easy. For a person who is on a spiritual path this of his body is
just a recycle item and the soul (Mind and Intellect) is a reusable item.
In ancient times death at war
was considered as “Veera Mruthyu” (Heroic Death) and it was not confined to
those fighting in the war but many ordinary citizens have achieved it. I remember the story
of one of the brave lady named Obavva, the wife of a watchtower guard who
single handedly took on the forces of Hyder Ali using just a wooden “Onkae”
(pestle) as her weapon. She knew that she was alone and did not want to disturb
her husband who was having lunch. By the time her husband and the other guards
could know about the infiltration, she had killed many of the enemy rats. She was not in the army contingent
she was just an ordinary housewife and a citizen in the kingdom of Veera Madakari Nayaka
