UN Practicing Inequality?
‘On Sunday, I visited the Northern and
Eastern Provinces, where I met the Chief Ministers and members of the
Provincial Councils as well as the Governors, and yesterday morning I was
honoured to visit the revered Sri Dalada Maligawa, or Temple of the Sacred
Tooth in Kandy, where I was graciously received by the Mahanayakas (Chief
Monks) of the Malwatte and Asgiriya Chapters. I am very grateful to them for
according me this great privilege, as well as to the members of the Hindu,
Muslim and Christian communities I met in Colombo, Jaffna and Trincomalee.’ UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein
Sri Lankan Government is inviting the
Public to make its contribution in structuring the new Constitution. Those of
us who are not officially recognized make such contribution through conduct
reflecting our Truth. Our Truth is often manifested freely when we are relaxed
and feel unsupervised by a person or by
common law. Was the visit by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to Sri
Dalada Maligwa confirmation of the UN’s Truth – that it continues to fail to
address Inequality that exists due to Buddhism being attributed higher status
than any other religion in Sri Lanka? Does the visit not contradict the core message
that the UN Human Rights Commission stands for – that in total value each
individual is Sovereign and that where there are no common measures – as per
common faith and/or official laws – we need to stay out of each other’s
way as Equal parallels?
The Sri Lankan visit by the UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights, is an official visit and ought to have prevented
any personal inclinations by the individual Mr. Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein. The
visit happened due to much pain and loss by all investors in Sri Lanka. Truth
when manifested along a flat plane would show Equal sides. In Democracy these
two sides need to be shown at the same point in time. UN’s commitment to
Religious equality was not manifested by the UN High Commissioner for Human
Rights. On the contrary – the visit confirmed lack of understanding of the root
cause of ethnic war in Sri Lanka.
The root cause of the war is the lack of
Separation of powers to the extent we are diverse at cultural level. Religion
plays an important role in formulating our cultural norms.
The Root of the manifestation of an officer
is the Common Policy. On that basis – the UN Officer had the responsibility to
confirm the policy through Equal allocation of Resources to diverse
manifestations. The absence of visit to Hindu, Christian or Muslim religious
organizations confirms the lack of commitment to UN Policy in relation to
Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination.
Natural Laws manifest the Sovereignty of
Individuals and / or groups bound by Common Faith – where even one member is in
need of such manifestation. In Sri Lanka this faith based binding is far
stronger power than the bondage through legislated laws. Individuals and/or
groups have the power to invoke the ‘balancing power’ of Nature / Truth once
they become owners by feeling part of the whole – rather than thinking.
Given that
Buddhism is allocated an official leading position in the Constitution a
Hindu who believes in Sri Lanka – taking the lower position would start
contributing to the whole of Sri Lanka – much earlier than a Buddhist with
higher responsibilities. I learnt this as a minority in Australia where Sri
Lankan qualifications were considered to be of lesser status than Australian
qualifications. I often took my lower position but continued to perform at the
highest standard applicable in that structure. Once I completed my
responsibilities as per my stated position – every stroke of my work went
towards ownership. When I was persecuted for showing the outcomes of my
contribution through my stated position – I felt pain which I had the duty
to describe as racism. The official system did not recognize my
conclusions – but the moment I gave it recognition – I started influencing the
manifestation of Natural Powers of ownership. This resulted in the University
of New South Wales as well as the then Prime Minister of Australia – getting
demoted.
I identify with a similar pattern with
minorities in Sri Lanka who feel Sri Lankan but are denied such recognition
from time to time. Each time a Buddhist leader fails to uphold the leadership
responsibilities as per article 9 of the Constitution – to contribute to the
Sovereignty of Sri Lanka through the Sovereignty of Buddhism in Sri Lanka – the
loss of ownership power is exponential – as if all Buddhists of Sri Lanka
failed the ownership test. One who is truly sovereign would recognize another
even though that other may carry a different form. The above visit confirms
that neither the Buddhist Institution in Sri Lanka nor the UN Human Rights
Commission is Sovereign.
