Sri
Lanka - the Battlefield of Asia ?
[Belgium is ready to share experience with
Sri Lanka in the ongoing constitutional reform process, Belgium
Foreign Affairs Minister Didier Reynders said.
He
expressed this view upon meeting Foreign Affairs Minister Tilak Marapana at the
Belgium Foreign Affairs Ministry in Brussels on Wednesday.] Daily Mirror article ‘SL Constitutional reforms: Belgium offers
expertise’
[Directorate
of Legal of the Army Headquarters in coordination with the office of the
Co-ordinator, 'Public Outreach Programme on Constitutional Reforms and
Constitution Making' organized an awareness programme at the Army Hospital
auditorium in Colombo Thursday morning (28) in order to educate Army personnel
on the subject.] – www.army.lk – under the
heading ‘Army Officers & Soldiers Educated on Constitutional Reforms’
Most would consider the two reports to be
disconnected and independent of each other. But to the global mind that has
deep interest in Sri Lanka – the two are Naturally connected. The TIME indicates / confirms the commonness –
as 13 May being the connection between the cause of Rape & Murder of Miss
Vidya (Vidya means knowledge). To me it is no coincidence that this special
daughter of Saraswathi (Vidya’s biological mother) came in that form for a
higher purpose. Likewise I see a connection between the offer by Belgium and
the training of Army in Constitutional Reforms. Belgium
[From
the end of the Middle Ages until the 17th century, the
area of Belgium was a prosperous and cosmopolitan centre of commerce and
culture. From the 16th century until the Belgian Revolution in 1830, when Belgium
seceded from the Netherlands, the area of
Belgium served as the battleground between many European powers, causing it to
be dubbed the "Battlefield of
Europe", a reputation strengthened by both world wars.
Today,
Belgium is a federal constitutional monarchy with
a parliamentary system of
governance. ]
One could say that currently Sri Lanka is the ‘Battlefield
of Asia’, carrying the genes of constitutional monarchy/presidency.
To
my mind, the deeper our investment in the issue / system the more intuitive our
connections. Yesterday, for example – after writing the article ‘Vidya
Daughter of Saraswathi’ I went to
the medical clinic at Maroubra to have my blood-pressure related prescription renewed.
After issuing the new prescription, the doctor on his own said words to the
effect that there is now in Australia ‘PAMP minted Lakshmi’. So saying the good
doctor went ahead and showed the picture to me on his computer screen. The
commonness here is Lakshmi – but the uncommon manifestation was the connection
between my name and the above gold coin. I thanked the doctor deeply – meaning I
blessed the doctor.
As we drove home I shared it with my husband who
also identified with this being an extension of another experience. On 18
September I noticed an email re award of Nespresso Coffee Machine. Since ours
was leaking and our son had said that he would arrange for it to be repaired –
I thought I would save him the trouble by receiving this award. The first email
took me into another area in which I was directed to a quiz. I did register at
the back of my mind that there was a cost of $4 something per minute and
further at the back of my mind $97 something being the maximum charge. But I
did not expect Nespresso to be unreasonable and hence went ahead and called the
number 1902228173. It was a quiz and seemed easy and relaxing. It was towards
the end when the quiz was stopped that I started realizing that they must have
been charging me. I rang my husband first and said that I had erred and he said
not to worry about it. Then I rang Telstra and asked them about the charge for
the call and they said it was $4.46 or $4.96. I was then satisfied that I could
afford the call and that it had value at that price. Then on 27 September, we
received the Telstra bill but the charges were $97.76 I felt cheated but realised that it was due
also to my own lack of focus on such possibilities. I kept disciplining myself
back to my habit of blindly deleting such messages / invitations. The following
morning during meditation I balanced the gap by the fact that I got an extra
day accommodation income for about the same amount – without having to go
through extra work. I then felt better and thanked the forces that helped me ‘fill’
that ‘gap’. The next day, I received a further bonus of $100 for some work I
had done in the past for which I was not expecting any income. I made the
connection to my completion of the experience by taking responsibility for the
call charges and yet not having to feel sorry about it for too long – due to
reward from past exertion which happened
unexpectedly at that TIME. The doctor confirmed it further by sharing with me his
appreciation PAMP Minted Lakshmi. To my mind, it was my own commitment to
earning higher level income and using it at that level – that brought me the
comfort I needed followed by the happiness that Mother Lakshmi was always with
me in my heart. As someone once shared with me – the richest person is not one
who has most money but one who needs least. To my mind, since I worked to earn
my money now that money is working for me and is coming to me to keep my mind
filled with satisfaction through the fullness of abundance.
Sri Lanka has within itself all it needs to be
self-governing. When the government connects to its Soul – the values would
fill the Government’s mind and prevent it from taking from outsiders.
