JIHAD & LAWMAKERS

 

[Tamil lawmaker M A Sumanthiran called out the hypocrisy of  Sri Lanka Muslim Congress leader Rauff Hakeem in parliament this week, as the former Sri Lankan justice minister who lobbied against international accountability for the Tamil genocide, demanded his government cut ties with Israel over the “genocide in Gaza”.]

 

Sumanthiran calls out hypocrisy of Sri Lanka Muslim Congress leader over ‘genocide in Gaza’

What is the Truth embedded in this above report?

In this instance I oppose Mr Sumanthiran and identify with Mr Rauff Hakeem. They are both lawmakers, who have the duty to follow the law. Article 9 of the Sri Lankan Constitution states:

 

‘ 9. The Republic of Sri Lanka shall give to Buddhism the foremost place and accordingly it shall be the duty of the State to protect and foster the Buddha Sasana, while assuring to all religions the rights granted by Articles 10 and 14(1)(e)’

 

‘10. Every person is entitled to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, including the freedom to have or to adopt a religion or belief of his choice.’

 

14. (1) Every citizen is entitled to – … (e) the freedom, either by himself or in association with others, and either in public or in private, to manifest his religion or belief in worship, observance, practice and teaching;

 

The question here is – who was within the Sri Lankan law? - Mr Rauff Hakeem or Mr Sumanthiran?

My response is : It is Mr Rauff Hakeem

The Parliament has the duty to follow the law. In this instance, according to Wikipedia,

Jihad is an Arabic word which literally means "striving" or "struggling", especially with a praiseworthy aim. In an Islamic context, it can refer to almost any exertion of effort to make personal and social life conform with God's guidance, such as internal struggle against one's evil inclinations, proselytizing, or efforts toward the betterment of the Muslim community (Ummah), though in non-Muslim societies the term is most often associated with armed conflict.

 

In Sri Lanka, it is a  Constitutional right to express one’s belief that the sovereign borders of one’s nation is being damaged.  These borders are invisible. The leader of a structured group, has the authority to give form to the borders, until a higher authority rules otherwise.  The believer knows that s/he is right through feeling of calmness. At the wider level, Truth manifests Itself to confirm the stronger belief. Tamils of Sri Lanka declared their borders through Vaddukoddai Resolution 1976. Truth confirmed this through 1977 Parliamentary elections, when Tamil political group became Equal Opposition  in National Parliament.

 

In the case of Muslim Nation, this has been facilitated by Article 9. But this claim to Sovereignty is lost, when armed groups attack those outside their own sovereign borders. Sri Lankan Tamil Nationalism as well as Sri Lankan Muslim Nationalism were seriously damaged by those who resorted to arms to ‘show’ others without official authority of the People. Belief, like Truth/Love is Absolute and is invisible.  Once visible, it becomes relative and qualifies to be measured by ‘outsiders’.

 

Before Mr Sumanthiran questions the Sri Lankan government, he needs to ask himself  why he did not take action against LTTE when they assassinated Tamil politicians, thereby the proctors eliminating Border force and seriously weakening our  claim to National status.

SIGNIFICANCE OF VESAK

 

 

Dr . S.B.Asoka Dissanayake directed us to his blog http://parafox-asoka.blogspot.com/2024/05/peace-to-all-beings-in-this-world-and.html 

I responded as follows:

Thank you and happy Vesak to all believers.   You state:

[It was late Laxmen Kadiragarmen who proposed to the United Nation that Buddhism should be recognized as a World religion.]

Lakshman Kadirgamar was a Christian. He was also a National list MP like Ranil. The fundamental power of an appointed MP is to represent minorities whose intelligence is often overridden by majority who are pampered by handouts. This limits their ownership to possession level. In Sri Lanka, belief by possession is confirmed when such possession is unbroken over 10 years. Otherwise, ownership by law applies. You have the duty to apply the intellectual measure as Lakshman Kadirgamar was a Tamil Christian and you are a Sinhala Buddhist. Unless you openly oppose majority, you would be part of majority.

 

As per Wikipedia report:

‘He played a significant role in having the  LTTE banned internationally. The United States and the United Kingdom proscribed the LTTE on 8 October 1997 and 28 February 2001 respectively, thereby depriving that organisation of a primary source of funding.’

 

The LTTE was driven by its belief. They killed and were ready to be killed. Their pathway was physically driven and they, like  practised reverse caste discrimination.  This is the way of Truth when injustice is left unaddressed.

 

As per Wikipedia report:

His funeral was held according to Buddhist rites, but one of the speakers was the Anglican bishop of Colombo.

 

 

This confirms that his life was taken over by majority and that he failed the position of foreign minister, to globalise Sri Lanka. Lord Buddha became Universal, through Truth. Lord Buddha did not need any external body to endorse  him.  This Sovereign value is being celebrated today, as Vesak by all those who are true to themselves.

Gaja

WHO KILLED THE PRESIDENT?

 

‘High-level delegation visits Tehran to attend Iranian President’s state funeral’  reported the Daily Mirror, yesterday. On the same day, I read the following, from an internal group:

‘It is distressing; it could be the work of an espionage agency of a country hostile to Iran. However as a totalitarian state Iran would immediately find a successor .’  The  originator linked his message to :

Iran's Raisi inaugurates hydropower, irrigation project in Sri Lanka
https://www.voanews.com/amp/iran-raisi-inaugurates-hydropower-irrigation-project-in-sri-lanka/7583645.html

I responded as follows:

As per the linked article – ‘He added the idea was rooted in "colonialism and arrogance" and that Iran was now able to share its knowledge with others, including projects in 20 countries.’

 

If the reverse  of  above is true, then the colonial spirit of Sri Lanka would have been part of the punishing force that caused the crash. The current killer, is only a medium of karma. I know this through experiences that were of positive value to me.

As per the linked article - Iran's Raisi inaugurates hydropower, irrigation project in Sri Lanka,’ the purpose was current. But he invoked our Colonial past with no knowledge of how we have integrated it through our own cultures and v.v. One such Elder is - Henry Parker, about whom Wikipedia has published as follows.:

‘Henry Parker (1849–unknown) was a British engineer in colonial Ceylon during the Victorian era. He was attached to the Irrigation Department from 1873 to 1904 During his work as an engineer he developed an admiration for the skills displayed by the ancient Sinhalese at the time of the construction of their reservoirs. ………

 

The response was: Thank you , Gaja. ‘If the reverse of the above is true’ ...then; I find that a few of your conclusions are based on hypothetical contentions: a trifle intriguing to my senile intellect!!!

The response confirms that it was within the intellectual balance of the person. One needs to go deeper than that level to access the invisible truth, at the centre. This, to my mind, is through research until we and the issue  become One.

My further response included the following:

‘Hence to me, the Bermuda Triangle, Man proposes; god disposes curse are experience based lessons. To you, some of my contentions may seem hypothetical. But instead, if you present your own alternate belief, you  would become the other side of ownership . Many who are used to hierarchical power have difficulty with Equal status and therefore Democracy.’

Each one would know why they had the experience. The consolidated value of all those who independently had the experience, is equal to zero. At the physical level half is causal force and  its other side is Equal value effects. One who renounces all benefits from the work identifies with the cause. One driven by effects would need many experiences to complete the journey and feel wholesome.
