As a feeling Sri Lankan, I feel that the Island is looking for ‘Freedom’ based popularity and seems to be influencing more and more, the removal of the Hon Ranil Wickremesinghe as the CEO of the Government. The following for example was published through the report ‘No-faith motion against PM to be moved shortly’ :

The JVP last week said that it was ready to support the proposed no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Wickremesinghe. JVP Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake, addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in Pelawatte said: "We are ready to back the motion if it contains specific sections against the prime minister on frauds and corruption, protecting the thieves and failing to carry out the duties of the office of the PM. But, if the motion is the outcome of a political dogfight then we will have to examine the political motives of those behind the move. In any case we need to read the content of the motion before making a final decision. It is our belief that the Prime Minister should go home or be removed over the bond scams."

It is understandable that the JVP with is origin in ‘Freedom Fighting’ would lean towards ‘freedom’ than demonstrate Independence. Unless a political party has within itself a person who can step into that position of Prime Minister and do a better job than the Hon Ranil Wicremesinghe has done, the party has no moral authority to discuss the merits of the current occupant in a political group that the Parliament is. To do so in the current climate where the previous CEO – Mr Mahinda Rajapaksa has been unpunished for his direct excesses – would be to condemn Sri Lanka to the dungeons of Public Administration.

If we truly earned Independence from British rule – and we celebrate that Independence on 04 February, we would now appreciate that when an Independent body divides internally – for operational purposes – it would divide into Equal halves, along the lateral plane. It is this lateral division that is represented through Government and Opposition of Equal status in Democracy.

When the internal division is vertical/hierarchical – the total of the position values need to be 100% - i.e. the same as that of the total. Then the body creates itself through exponential power. If the total value of the positions is greater than the total value of the whole, the body would tend towards invasion.

We lose our own independence when we invade others or when others invade us. Hence our ancestors discovered the value of sacrifice which effectively is to transfer to ‘Reserve’ when we make profits in ‘position values’. These Reserves are of heritage value and would cause imbalance if invoked without respect by juniors. I have found this to happen at the workplace especially here in Australia. Happens frequently times in families especially those that prematurely migrate for economic reasons. We have many such families within both sides of the ethnic divide in Sri Lanka. The Rajapaksa family is one extreme example of this.

The tables below demonstrate the various combinations of Autocracy and Democracy, based on the acceptable value of 300 units in global measures, for the whole to be self-sufficient and therefore independent.

Good Autocracy			Good Democracy
Senior	Junior	Total	Senior	Junior	Total
270	30	300	25	275	300
180	120	300	125	175	300
450	150	600	120	180	300

Invasion by seniors/governments			Invasion by juniors/militants			Invasion by the whole
Senior	Junior	Total	Senior	Junior	Total	Senior	Junior	Total
350	170	520	170	350	520	270	250	520
370	30	400	100	300	400	200	200	400
290	250	540	30	510	540	270	270	540

The recent demonstration in Melbourne, Australia by Sinhalese who took Government position and claimed that the LTTE was the most brutal terrorist organization in the world is of the category ‘Invasion by juniors/militants’. The 2009 war in which Government forces used excessive power over a diverse cultural group is ‘Invasion by seniors/governments’. The 1983 Communal riots during which Tamils were isolated and attacked brutally was Invasion by the whole.

The protests in North as reported by ‘Ceylon today’, on 05 March, indicate reactionary approach:

[ A mass demonstration was held yesterday in protest against the attacks carried out on Hindu places of worship in various parts in the Northern Province.

Several Hindu organizations, Hindu religious leaders and representatives of various temples had participated in the demonstration, carrying the Nanthi (Bull) flag, the symbol of Hinduism.
Hundreds of Hindus chanted slogans against the attacks on Hindu places of worship and called upon the government to prevent such attacks.]

To my mind, Nanthi represents the philosophy of - Pathi, (Lord of animals) Pasu, (Cow) Paasam (Affection) ; Desire, Love & Affection; Body, Soul and Mind; Politics, Governance and Administration. Affection is a combination of desire and love. On that basis I ask the question as to which the above group is representing – Pathi or Pasu?

If they were self-governing, they would have drawn on the resources of the University of Jaffna and presented their case to the University Council.

As per my involvement with the University of Jaffna – which also carries the Guru / Nanthi Logo indicating that one needs to seek and find the Truth through Higher Education, they are also at Pathi / Political stage. If this University in Northern Province is suffering from ‘lust’ as presented by the media and the unlawful disciplinary actions based on alleged sexual misconduct, then that flag carried by the educated Hindus in that group represents lust. Since the group is calling upon outside help beyond the Provincial Government – but through the Provincial Government, one has to conclude that this group has no faith in the University of Jaffna’s power to cure this problem – through Pasu / Wisdom. Hence majority power is being sought to ‘win’. This means that to them, Mr Wigneswaran is Pathi the Bull that reproduces laterally / physically and not Pasu the Holy Cow with Absolute Ownership Energy.

They say ‘Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely’. Each one would correctly interpret as per their own true needs. The way I interpret it is :

when we cross the borders of our earned Sovereignty, we are taken over by forces that have Absolute power – meaning they function Independently as per the science of Nature. On the other hand, Independence as Absolute / Natural force, when saved /reserved after exercising within our position borders on the basis of need – raises us to be part of wider world. I learnt this through my book Naan Australian which found a home in the National Library of Australia, followed by the National Library of Sri Lanka, without any effort on my part or a pathway that was visible to me. I therefore conclude that Absolute Ownership Purifies Absolutely. Independence is Absolute Ownership.

Freedom is lateral power.

On 04 February every year since 1948, some Sri Lankans celebrate Freedom. They therefore reproduce freedom fighters. When such celebrations are greater than the net value of the damage through British rule, the person, group that so celebrates is developing invasion genes. It’s good that Tamil National Alliance quietly stayed away from such celebrations this year. That would quietly heal our internal wounds caused by excessive freedom taken by Juniors – as shown under ‘Invasion by juniors/militants’ in the tables above.

Lord Buddha realized Absolute Ownership. Some Sri Lankan Buddhist leaders have downgraded this to ‘Unlimited Freedom’ which naturally corrupts.
