What do we Tamils need through the 2015
Presidential Elections in Sri Lanka?
Those who have voting rights are the media through whom we would
influence outcomes. These need not
necessarily be Tamil voters. To the extent we feel in common with other
communities – we would naturally influence voters’ minds to manifest the
outcomes as if we had voted.
Majority vote is part of the lateral system
of democracy. At the primary level – where all voters are
taken to be equally genuine and believing in their leader – the power of the
total for one person relative to another is taken as the determining factor. But the
same person does not vote for the same leader at every election in which the
two participate. There are some external
influences that shift either party or both parties to act differently. These
are usually visible where one cares to observe.
Then there are other internal influences – which happen naturally –
through our Truth. Everyone who
identifies with God/Divinity – experiences Oneness with others. Without this we would not be praying to
invisible powers.
If we therefore believe deeply and we
invoke our belief during elections – the
candidate through whom such belief could be worked would become the
winner. This need not be the one we like
or agree with. In fact this could be the one we disagree with. But that
candidate would be the medium/messenger through whom our outcomes are
manifested. During election time – the blocks to receive our belief based
messages are removed and the path is open. The leader becomes our facility –
consciously or subconsciously. Sometimes we may need the weaker candidate to
win now – so our belief could be manifested at that higher level at a later
time. The deeper believer would identify with such a higher outcome in its due
course. Hence the need for focus on
issues rather than on subjects – especially subjects over whom we do not have
direct influence. We have the path open
for us to surrender and think in common with a leader within our own
communities.
The work of Ms Shanthi Sachidanandam has
been brought to our attention recently by leaders of the Tamil Diaspora. Ms
Sachidanandam does highlight that the
happenings in the recent past did not happen solely due to the Rajapaksa
Regime. They are the effect of cumulative forces empowered to produce outcomes at a
particular time at a particular place. WE also contributed to those effects. Past
outcomes do not empower or affect us directly. Hence Yoga Swami’s great saying ‘Eppavoh
Mudintha Kariyam’ / ‘Matter has been closed long ago’. Like with Balance Sheets, they help us
understand the present. The past should
not be assessed through current rules and measures. Once there is ‘closure’ , including through
emigration – we need to use current measures and not old measures or the
measures used by the current voters who are making government. Restructures
bring about such closures. For us – Tamils that restructure already happened
through Provincial Council Elections that highlighted the preference of
Northern Tamils to be led by knowledge power rather than gun power. We need to respect and value the past but not
go back to produce those outcomes in the present once a restructure has taken
place.
What we do now – has the power to directly
influence current outcomes. The deeper powers of motivation need to be accessed through belief – for example
belief in Democracy and Multiculturalism at all times and in all aspects of our
life has the power to influence naturally. Such believers would naturally influence
voters who are actively ‘thinking’ and ‘showing’ those thoughts in support of Democracy & Multiculturalism. To be able to so influence – we need to
believe that we are of the One group or we must be driven by our Truth and
Truth only. Gandhi had that kind of
belief and hence was able to influence naturally to produce outcomes that
confirmed that belief. One does not need express legal or cultural membership
to influence through belief.
I believe my belief in Democracy and
Multiculturalism influenced Epping migrants – to dismiss the then Prime
Minister John Howard. http://austms.blogspot.com.au/ (Elections
– what they mean to me – 21 November 2014).
The belief of One develops exponential value as it gets deeper and close
to absolute value. Commonness supports such development. Each person who thinks
strongly about the issue becomes our medium. When it gets close to absolute
value – it becomes global influence.
This is the kind of force that Ms Shanthi Sachidanandam seems to be
working on – so that we interpret the law as per our belief and not as we are
told by those who do not share common belief with us. The more we focus on
immediate outcomes – the less we develop this belief and therefore weaken our
opportunities to influence outcomes through the unseen and the unknown media/voters.
Such common belief based influence amongst the Sinhalese has been strongly weakened by
the nomination of the Common Candidate who until recently was seen to be part
of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party. Those
who believe in political power through that grouping would now be confused. Its parallel is Mr. Douglas Devananda leading
the LTTE supporters. Most primary level voters would get confused with this. If
majority Sinhalese voters think that the Rajapaksa government has failed them
at the International level – then they may vote to defeat the Rajapaksa group.
But then – we would really not have an ethnic problem in Sri Lanka – and therefore
the Diaspora would be robbed of their opposition. Such changes on the surface
are misleading and work against consistency that contributes to commonness. If confirms also that within the Sinhalese community
there isn’t strong commitment to democracy through belief. Belief is identity with Truth. Truth when
manifested divides equally through the center.
Tamils are also not yet ready with
Democratic systems of management. The
Tamil Diaspora is the litmus paper to test this and we need to demonstrate
stronger achievements in this regard – in our current areas of operation –
especially by developing Equal Opposition at the intellectual level. We won the
position of Equal Opposition in 1977 due to such Belief. This was due to our then leaders going into Sathya Graham – Home of Truth. Once we take revenge – through tit for tat
action – we would lose the opportunity to invest that energy in developing our belief in
non-violent non-cooperation. Retaliation at the same level – is cooperation.
Controlling the urge to retaliate renders the independence needed to observe the other side. In
effect we bring the other side over to our side as juniors. That is what
happened through the UN Resolution earlier this year. We need to not let go of
that opportunity to win at global level - by working actively for a win by an
unknown devil (who is being made out to be an angel) over a known devil.
