Natural Governance
It was good to hear further good reports
about the new Sri Lankan High Commissioner in Australia – Mr. Somasundaram
Skandakumar. My simple assessment shared with a Diaspora Leader was ‘He is
a good guy and responds to emails’. I received also after a long time
email from Yasmin Majeed – my shishya/disciple at Airlanka/Sri Lankan Airlines.
This one said “I know her – Someone asked me if I knew you. I laughed and said ‘Ha
that’s funny! I adore that woman’………………”.
Yasmin is not a writer ; Yasmin is a believer. The way I receive Yasmin is as
per the timing of her communications. There have been some difficulties in the
projects in Vaddukoddai due to me doing it all from Zero Base. The reminder from
Yasmin that I had been a good boss merged to help me remember my ‘Consolidated
Sri Lankan status’. I would not ‘show’
the past in Vaddukoddai but remind myself that I am Sri Lankan – so Vaddukoddai
would be Sri Lankan.
Then my attention went to the Colombo
Telegraph article ‘Transparency Needed In Dealings With The GTF’ by Rajasingham
Jayadevan – with the following opening:
[ Time is up for mature debates on the exclusive dealings involving
the new government of President Maithiripala Sirisena/ Prime Minister Ranil
Wickremesinghe and Tamil National Alliance (TNA)
with the UK based Global Tamil Forum (GTF).
Though wider debates and expressions of discontents are taking place in the
Tamil electronic and broadcasting media, the English media is taking a blind
approach of rejuvenation from such polarising engagement ]
My Spiritual Guru said that there were
three ‘I’s – (1) Who others think I am (2) Who I think I am and (3) Who I
really am. (1) is a Foreigner (2) is a Relative (3) is Family. In old age
we need to have the ‘freedom’ to be with (3). Then our Governance power would be naturally
shared with our Family. The place that accommodates this is our home and it is ‘empowered’
by our Truth. That is the heritage we
share with future generations and with wider world.
In my article ‘Retirement Age’ – at http://austms.blogspot.com.au/ in relation to Professor
de Silva’s claim ‘Our healthy life
expectancy is 72 years while the mandatory retirement age is 60 years. At that
age most Sri Lankans are still healthy enough to work,’
I have stated – [The question is whether they are mentally fit to work as per the
requirements of current workplace and their homes. Some retire early and
participate in homemaking activities. Others go into Service work – at
temples/churches and community centers. The Sri Lankan President is 64 and
continues to ‘work’. The Prime Minister who is two years his senior in age is
also active in his work. By the above
statement – they are both working beyond the official retirement age for the
citizens. All politicians above 60 need to then be Governors and not Administrators. They must engage strictly in
Homemakers’ work or Service work. When they get paid – they tend to become
active – and hence tend to live off their past. Likewise Academics.]
This applies to the TNA – the Leader of the
Opposition in Sri Lankan Parliament as well as the Sri Lankan Diaspora. When we
are discussing Sri Lankan matters we need to take our positions as Governors if
we are above 60. How do we do this? My
basis is as follows:
[Governors
would not go up and down with visible outcomes. They would keep raising the
matter until it merges with Policy through Human Minds. Human Minds get
restructured through this escalation process. Those who have high mind-order
would operate at this level and would enjoy retirement from paid work. They are
Policy makers.]
Young TNA members are foreigners to
Diaspora Groups. To the extent they
become Governors in Sri Lanka – their current natural habitat – they would merge naturally with Diaspora
Groups whose make up is different to the Sri Lankan Political groups Resident
in Sri Lanka. Members of Diaspora groups need to be facilitated to stay within
their own investments – so they would enjoy their retirement from active work. Restructures
must give form to the Truth of all members / investors of the past. When we
retire from active work – we don’t retire from life itself. We just become
Governors to the extent we live within our Truth. Then we would identify with our investment in the whole
through various representations. My identification with the Sri Lankan High
Commissioner in Australia is through my investment in that position which was
NOT blocked by the previous High Commissioner who was rejected by pro-LTTE
groups. They related to that position through their own investment in the
parallel – Diaspora leadership – of which the GTF is one.
Sri Lankan Diaspora groups needed to
restructure in 2009 due to the military defeat of the Tamil rebellion and now
in 2015 – due to the political wins of the Tamils. Military seniors need to
become Governors and now Political activists must take their place to promote
Democratic Administration of Diaspora Activities – including in Sri Lanka on
project basis. If we do it for that part of Sri Lanka that is home to us –
Mother Sri Lanka will spread it naturally to her other parts. Home is where the
heart is. Once our investments are in our heart – we are Governors.
Australian Tamil partnership with Iceman
Technologies, http://www.austms.org/news_and_events/Iceman_News.pdf
is confirmation of such heritages of the
heart. Yasmin – my disciple of Sri Lankan Airlines became natural part of the
graduation leadership – without any prior planning. Believers naturally invest
in Governance. Activists often fall short due to lack of belief.
