Karma of Impunity at Home
[“As
far as the UN goes, they came here to protect us, but all they’ve brought is
destruction.”] 21-year-old Haiti citizen Ms. Melida Joseph – as per Easwaran
Ratnam’s report ‘Army Accused Of Turning
Blind Eye On Haiti Rape’ published by
Lasantha Wickrematunge’s Sunday Leader.
The above article confirms the need for Sri
Lankan Army to be trained as per the structure of International Law. It was
within the authority of the UN to suspend recruitment from the Sri Lankan Army
until the war-crimes allegations were resolved one way or the other. But the UN
failed due to lack of commitment to its own mandate to develop the higher
global mind. Recently the UN sanctioned extended time to the Sri Lankan
Government to address the allegations of war-crimes. Karma happened due to at
least one Sri Lankan mind being cheated of her/his return from global
investment. Hence the manifestation of the above scandal. When we give up, the
system of karma (Natural Justice) takes over.
The structure through which the above
report came to us includes the mind of slain Journalist Lasantha Wickrematunge.
Reporter Easwaran Ratnam is the last part of the publishing work in bringing this information to us. Those of us who value Lasantha
Wickrematunge’s contribution to our Common mind, would read the report in that
consciousness. This confirms the heritage value of Lasantha Wickrematunge’s
life with us. Likewise, when our pleasures – including sexual pleasures are
processed through the higher minds – starting with ours that carries the Common
Laws, Principles and Values. The strength of that higher mind is the safety value
that protects our work.
The parallel of the Sri Lankan war-crimes
allegation in our family is the issue of Intestate Estate of my Brother in law –
Mr. Subramaniam Yoganathan of Vaddukoddai. Like the Sri Lankan Politicians of
majority race – the sisters of Mr. Yoganathan had custody of the documents that
confirmed the assets left behind by Mr. Yoganathan. Internally – they wanted my
husband and his brother to renounce their
share so the sisters could get all of
it. In terms of money we seemed to have more than they. But that would not
carry forward Mr. Subramaniam Yoganathan’s discipline which prevented him from
premature distribution of his earned and inherited wealth even when his sisters’
children came to Australia to further their educational qualifications. Had we
agreed to ‘donate’ our share to the sisters it would have negated the ‘protective
value’ that preserved the wealth during the lifetime of Mr. Subramaniam
Yoganathan, his father whose wealth was inherited by Mr. Yoganathan also and
the rest of us who have contributed to the Common Mind of the family. Hence when my husband flatly refused, I
identified with it as preservation value of the family heritage. I recommended
that the sisters sought the services of a lawyer to ‘settle’ the distribution
with due respect.
In the process when I was struggling to get
copies of the title documents and the Police wanted me to come through a
lawyer, I was recommended the services of Madam Shantha Abhimanasingham, PC.
I had one consultation with the lady for about 5 to 10 minutes but the lady
confirmed my experience based belief that as per Thesawalamai / Customary Law –
the law applicable to Jaffna Tamils in terms of inheritance, my brother-in- law’s
wealth was Muthusam/inherited wealth and
not Thediya Thettam / acquired wealth. The lady lifted her right hand and said
that the wealth must be passed through that level (meaning parental level) to
qualify as inherited wealth and in the case of Bachelor it is taken as such. I
often recall that picture and smile to myself in appreciation. Inherited wealth
confirms the consolidated Common mind that we carry. This Common mind comes
with the protection of time – that the pleasures have escaped the distractions
from frivolousness and became out of reach of the physically stronger players
in our environment.
In the case of sexual pleasures, passing
our pleasures through the laws of marriage raises the value to higher level. Anyone who foregoes pleasures within a
relationship, for others to enjoy, is automatically
developing or confirming a family structure and therefore relationships. These family
laws could be laws Common to the whole or limited to our local cultures. When
we do so, we naturally develop and maintain heritage values of that institution
– in this instance the family unit. The second best is to pay money for pleasures
so we would not become indebted to the pleasure provider. When families manage
their relationships through money – they confirm weakening of the heritage
value. This is fine so long as the one driven more by money does not have
higher status than one driven more by common / heritage value. Without these –
we would behave like animals where the basic rule is survival of the fittest at
that time at that place – as happened in Haiti.
We may or may not win in Sri Lankan Courts that
are swinging from current values of the young and the restless on the one
extreme and attachment to the past by the old and the complacent, on the other.
But to the extent we are genuine, the returns will happen when we need them, in
the form we need them. The real rewards are based (1) as per our Belief in the
Common Values not only of the parties concerned but also the Administrative, judicial and social systems that have
preserved the wealth and (2) Our current contribution to win through the official
system.
The parallel of this for the Sri Lankan
Government in terms of UN activities is (1) the Belief of all Sri Lankans in the UN system
and (2) our current contribution to be in
UN related jobs/activities. Political maneuvers may result in temporary wins in relation to
one issue but so long as even one believer is actively processing her/his
thinking through UN values as per her/his experience, it would continue to
clear some other neglected pathway to manifest wrongs attributable directly to the
offenders who had impunity at ‘home’.
We carry the gunas (characteristics) that
are natural to us – as in genes. Some gunas are developed through habits. But the more we process our
thoughts and conduct through Common values – our natural traits that are
negative to that environment would be buried. If we seek and find such Common
values we burn such negatives and clear the pathway for good order. Hindus wear
the Holy Ash / Vibhoothi on the forehead
to confirm insight gained through this process of burning ignorance. The motto
of University of Jaffna is ‘Knowledge finds Truth’.
Mental illness happens due also to lack of
connection to commonness. One who is born with lesser mental order on the other
hand could improve her/his mental strength by attributing credit to the
provider recognized by her/him. If the Armed forces of Sri Lanka had been kept
at home – under the close supervision of the Sri Lankan Government all
concerned would have been ‘saved’ this pain and shame.
When we lie to those who believe in us, we
lie to ourselves. Then Truth gets blocked by us and hence we develop mental
disorder. Sri Lankan Government needs to invest more and more in sex-related
education to cure their Armed Forces of ‘free enjoyment’ of foreigners. Without
belief in UN laws – the Sri Lankan Armed forces were a foreign force in Haiti.
If they are taken to have knowledge of UN laws, there is enough evidence to try
them for war-crimes AND by Foreign Judges under UN supervision. In either instance – the person responsible for the
structures – is the one with highest responsibility and hence must bear the
highest punishment when the breaches are confirmed publicly. Hiding them under the carpet would breed
mental disorders within the Armed Forces and the government. That is the return
for not punishing within due date. They say that Time and Tide wait for no man.
Through Time, we punish ourselves. Through Tide victims punish us through their
natural collective force.
