HOME PROTECTION
Tracey
Grimshaw of ‘A Current Affair’ raised the issue of ‘Second Home’ in the case of
self-isolation by Prince Charles. The government’s stand is confirmed as follows:
["If you live elsewhere, please don't use the Highlands as your
means of self-isolation," tweeted Forbes, a member of the Scottish
Parliament for the sprawling Highland constituency of Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch.
"People live here who are trying to follow government
guidance and the continuing flow of camper vans and other traffic who appear to
be escaping the cities is not helping."
On
Monday, United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Scotland's First
Minister Nicola Sturgeon urged people to remain at home and self-isolate in
order to avoid this potentially fatal illness that has claimed lives worldwide,
mostly among the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions]

It is interesting that the Prince chose to isolate
in his inherited home in Scotland. That which is inherited has no ranking. It
is Common in value. The Royal family as a whole represents inherited value of
the nation.
To my mind, our home in Coogee is of such Common
value. I sought the blessings of the Chairman of Prima in Sri Lanka, where I was
the Financial Controller. The property
was developed by Prima and by recognizing the chairman as an elder – I invoked
the heritage value. Later when I sought
to uphold my true position at the University of NSW, there was the risk of
losing this home. But amazingly we continued to have the necessary resources to
service the loan. As I keep saying – this home looked after us when we had a
real need. I now better appreciate the saying ‘Dharma (Natural Justice )looks after
those who look after Dharma’ .
‘Staying at home’ during this time of Coronavirus –
in many ways would reinforce home values. There is a saying in Tamil ‘Kamban veetu kattu thariyum kavi
paadum", / Even the loom in Poet
Kamban’s home is poetic’
To the extent we worked for our home and family
every member of that family would be able to draw on that Energy. Staying
together helps us to recognize this strength. Even if the older folks die
during this period, they/we have the opportunity to know that young ones care
about us. This sharing strengthens our heritage and keeps the whole together.
Every Sovereign unit is supported by God’s system. This
could be a home, workplace, nation or the world. The more we share in each
other’s pain the stronger this Oneness.
Those who seek physical togetherness towards this
would not die. They live forever.
