Satnam Singh, a young person from Bihar, had a tragic end in God's Own Country. Reports suggest that he was a student of law and had been undergoing treatment for some mental ailment; he was also interested in spiritual reading. He was wandering to different places of worship before reaching Kerala. He was reported to have visited the Mata Amritanandamayee Ashram to have a " feel of the divine presence". His intention was suspected by the devotees. Though the mental condition of the frail young visitor was easily visible, the devotees preferred to hand over the hapless young man to the police. The spiritual heads of the Math appeared to have remained silent during the sequence of events. They could have extended him a hand of love which they are spreading globally. Ultimately the precious life of a young person was abruptly terminated under unnatural circumstances in the " due course of law". Some human consideration by the Ashram would have saved his life. A mentally ill person is equated with a criminal by our insensitive society including even the spiritual gurus. Gods are not always godly.
Or more appropriately-perhaps it's the god'people' who are not so godly!!
ReplyDeleteIf Gods are not godly, how can one expect God's people to be godly!
