Foreign Judges in Sri Lankan War – Cart Before the
Horse
The current hot political topic in Sri
Lanka is whether or not Foreign Judges should be included in relation to the Government’s
responsibility to Account to the International Community through the United
Nations. The latest local pathway is
based on the Paranagama Report. The latest ‘foreign’ pathway is the UN Human
Rights Council Report. These days when I
receive emails of Common Interest I feel
the urge to make a connection to my own inner thoughts and the messages
received from special persons to whom I feel connected through Common Belief.
Two such Australian Tamils sent me the report at the following link , under the
subject matter ACT OF GOD???:
Daily Mail –
Australia http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3231117/At-62-people-dead-crane-collapses-Grand-Mosque-Mecca.html
My response to the question is ‘Certainly’. To my mind the
confirmation comes from the fact it happened in Muslim Holy Area where there
was no other ‘foreign’ influence was apparent nor known. Time has given its own
Natural returns. This would not have happened if Americans had taken revenge. During
the 9/11 tragedy – I did identify with the reasons as to why Muslims would
think of revenge for Racial Discrimination. Back then the leader was White
American George Bush to whose karma was added our own then Prime Minister John
Howard’s Racism Karma – including my own. Where the negative forces are not
corrected within their ‘use-by’ period – they become ‘paavam/sins’. Likewise
the positive forces become puniyam/virtues. They cannot be corrected once they
go past their current periods. As they say in Tamil – the Past never comes
again; the Future never happens and only the Present is within our control /
influence. Likewise, in terms of Places – Past is the Land we left behind;
Future is the Land we have never been to and Present is the Land that is our
current Home. 9/11 happened due to time and place variations dealt with as using
largely current tools - including laws. The
changed leadership in America diluted the American system of its Racism karma and
time has done its work at home to defeat the Jihadists.
This is the lesson for Tamil as well as
Sinhalese Jihadists. The Political leadership of Tamils through the position
of Tamil National Alliance leader the
Hon Rajavarothiam Sampanthan being the
Opposition Leader – confirms the Sri Lankan parallel of Obama Leadership. Unlike
in America, there has been little Administrative pathway for investment in
Affirmative Action at citizens’ level in Sri Lanka. Where there is a law that
is understood at grassroots level – the investment in the law is much stronger
than when the law is understood largely by leaders. Education is needed to
communicate the value of a particular law – to the areas that produced those
who rebelled against the Government. Given that this is recognized as LTTE –
and therefore Tamil areas – the higher investment in such education needs to be
in the areas that produced these Rebels.
The fundamentals of such Education would
not come from ‘foreigners’. These fundamental values are
with those to whom Sri Lanka is home. It would not come from ‘Tamil only’ or ‘Sinhala
only’ individuals or groups. It would not come from Academics who have remained
largely academic and without Experience at grassroots level. It would not come
from lawyers to whom the legal profession is mainly for a living. They would
all assist in shaping the solution but none of the above on their own do not
have the nucleus of Truth . This being so, how could one expect ‘foreign’ minds
to ‘judge’ Sri Lankans?
Like in the case of the 9/11 Karma return –
the Sinhalese had theirs coming through the Rajapaksa regime for the excesses
of Terrorism status attributed to Tamils. Unless we therefore ‘place’
foreigners in their appropriate positions we are likely to have the reverse of
9/11 – i.e. Foreign invasions as in the
Middle East. As per the Island report:
[Japanese
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had said that Sri Lanka would immensely benefit from
the expertise of Moto Noguchi, a former international judge of the
Extraordinary Chamber in the Courts of Cambodia, as regards its post-war
reconciliation process, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe told Parliament
yesterday.]
A judge’s mind is different to the mind of
the Human Rights activist. As per Wikipedia on Cambodia:
[The
country faces numerous challenges and sociopolitical issues, including
widespread poverty, pervasive corruption, lack of political freedoms, low human
development, and a high rate of hunger. Cambodia has been described by
Human Rights Watch's Southeast Asian Director, David Roberts, as a
"vaguely communist free-market state with a relatively authoritarian
coalition ruling over a superficial democracy.]
The reason for this, to my mind is the
indiscriminate mixing of Autocracy with
Democracy. When one draws benefits from a particular system on the claim that
one is a member of that system – one has the Responsibility to stay within that
system – until Truth is discovered. Failure to do so will make the person indebted
in that system from which s/he draws benefits – eventually to bankrupt the
person. It is to prevent such disaster that we have time based vertical system
through which we ‘show’ respect to our elders or place based lateral system
through which we produce our outcomes independently and cease to be relatives
beyond that point. From then on we are ‘individuals’ responsible to ourselves.
A good example that comes to mind is a
Vaddukoddai relative by marriage – who failed to pay his respects to me despite
knowing that I was the driving force in sponsoring him and his parents to
migrate to Australia. Had he demonstrated ‘respect’ for me as an elder – he would
not have owed me at the structural level. Had he felt gratitude – of his own
accord – on the basis of his own experience – he would have had the benefit of my
mind order. But this relative followed in his parents’ footsteps and claimed
that my husband owed his elder sister who had demonstrated lack of gratitude to
her father. I let it go. But not so the system of Truth / Karma which always
protects those who nature It. Now I realize that the guy – by being
influenced by his environment – had developed a mind-disorder – that he could
fool me by claiming ‘birth-rights’ – along the lines of Sinhala Only and Tamil
Only claimants in Sri Lanka. Those who formed partnerships with other cultures
to whom that Land is ‘home’ – developed higher mind-order raising their
thoughts upwards. When we are driven by outcomes - Benefits or Costs – we tend to cling to the
past. When we invest in those before us in a particular structure – say Government
- we eventually become the structure. When we sacrifice our earned benefits and
status in that structure we become ‘owners’ and have the experience. No Judge can rule above such an owner. The
Karma of that relative in law happened when another senior relative along the same
line of reporting passed away and he ‘expected’ my husband to write my husband’s
share in the relative’s mother’s name. My husband declined even though I was
not against it. But when it came to misleading the Bank – I said NO.
Some members of the Tamil Community got
upset with me when I shared this experience with my regular readers. But the
lesson is that we cannot escape Karma. This relative’s generation grew up
strongly under the influence of LTTE. LTTE by killing Tamil Politicians became ‘Foreign’
to the Political & Administrative system known to Tamils through the Common
system. Thus LTTE became the twin of the likes of SWRD Bandaranaike trying to
enforce Sinhala only for Political advantage – which when legalized automatically
denied other cultures their independent status. The mind-order of Sinhalese
politicians became disorderly due to this superficial
democracy that David Roberts uses in terms of Cambodia. Mr. Rajapaksa by
character is more a descendant of Mr. Bandaranaike than the latter’s daughter
Madam Kumaratunga. Tamils who migrated on ‘family basis’ have the Duty to show
that in the positions they take. Given that this relative was driven by ‘outcomes’
and I was not – I let the matter go. But when it came to Institutional
structures – that I have invested in on regular basis – my Truth manifested
Itself through me – to escalate the issue to Policy level for our family and
Vaddukoddai Community. Now others come of Vaddukoddai come to me for advice in
such matters. Thus the defeat happened through Vaddukoddai folks who are not my
birth-community. The Tamil Diaspora needs to clean its own karma at the family
and community level to be with the Truth. Truth is self-merging and would
protect anyone who is part of Its system.
The parallel of Mecca happened to
Batticaloa in Eastern Sri Lanka during Tsunami Act of God. Karuna Amman – who defected from the LTTE in
2004 became ‘foreign’ to Jaffna Tamils of Northern Sri Lanka. The timing of
major events that personally affect us – would show us the connection.
Sri Lankans need to be in their Home of
Truth – Sathya Graham – to realize the return for their pain as Independence
from the false and temporary. We need our inner experience for this and not the
interpretation of foreigners.
