And the circle continues...

These days people keep on talking about things without really going into the history. Oh! This family is the one that owns everything. They do everything in the world.

But do this people who believe in all these stories full of conspiracy theories actually know ABC about the families that they are talking about?

Were these families not like ours to begin with? But they earned money because they worked hard and used their brains while others were busy doing God knows what. I don't believe in conspiracy theories. I know that God has given me a brain and two hands and I can win anyday.

And no, I don't believe in the power of families and that oh! they are doing this etc etc.

How can they do this?

Simply because they have money.

But why?

Well, others want part of that fortune.

Why?

Well, it's easy money.

Whose fault is it?

It is the fault of that family.

Why?

Their faut because they have money.

Why do they have money?

It's ancestral property.

How did they get that property?

Their ancestors gave it to them.

How did their ancestors get it?

Their ancestors gave it to them.

And why don't you have that much money?

Our ancestors didn't give us anything.

Why?

They didn't have anything.

Why?

....

Why?
....

Why?

....

Yes, no reply. I am not talking about people who were tortured and were targets of genocide. They have managed to rise above that.

The poor of this world are those whose ancestors had the opportunity but... God knows what was more important.

Chandragupta Maurya was a poor boy. But he rose to found a big Kingdom. Why? Simply because he accepted and respected the teacher who found him and helped. He worked hard on that path. God had given him a brain and two hands. He used those.

If your ancestors didn't do anything, it is not someone else's fault. Is it?

If you don't do anything, then you will continue this whole story till eternity. Your descendants will be in the same state in which you are. Whose fault will it be?

Of course, that of others.

Why? Why not yours?

You complain about Rockefeller family?

But do you know the first man that we are talking about?

His name was?

Sorry, I didn't get it.

....

Oh! You don't know. Was he really rich?

....

eh... again this lack of reply. Why?

...

So why do you keep complaining about these people?

They are rich and they rule the world.

What stops you from getting rich?

I have no money. I didn't inherit anything.

Does that mean that you can't create a paradise of your own?

That's really difficult.

So it was easy for the Rockfeller family?

Well, they have it.

Now, just have a look at this one -

http://www.forbes.com/sites/carlodonnell/2014/07/11/the-rockefellers-the-legacy-of-historys-richest-man/#4749aa2c60e7

The Rockefeller legacy began with a 16-year-old bookkeeper in Cleveland, Ohio, whose greatest ambitions were to earn $100,000 and live 100 years. His formal business training included a ten-week class in accounting, as well as a con-artist father who was known to say, “I cheat my boys every chance I get. I want to make ‘em sharp,” according to the biography John D. Rockefeller: Anointed with Oil... (Please click the link to read more)

Now think, who was the first one of this family to earn a lot of money? A man who worked as a bookkeeper at the age of 16.

Was he born rich?

Doesn't seem so. Else he wouldn't have worked as a bookkeeper. Do you think he did it just for fun?

So please think before you start spreading stories. If Rockfellers are rich today then it's simply because they used their brains and two hands that God gave them. But God gives those to all human beings. We have the same opportunity. It depends on them.

Complaining won't get us anywhere. We must use the brain and two hands that God gave us.

It's our turn.

Let's do it.

No need to be violent.

Just brain and two hands. A lot of intelligence and hard-work.

Are you willing?

Or do you just want to complain, complain and complain...

It's difficult.

I'm sure it is. It must have been difficult for William Rockfeller too. Or was it fun?

Think before you speak. Think before you accuse.

Think.

We study Indian History. Do we really?

Recently I watched a documentary about the excellence of Roman empire. A pity that none of our directors ever made such beautiful documentary about our civilisation. It is one of the most ancient places where certain things existed but no... they look at India from the point of view of those who attacked and want to teach what the attackers wanted to teach.

This documentary speaks of a technique of heating and the technique that they show also existed in several palaces and forts in India. Only it was used to reduce the temperature in Indian forts and palaces.

BC and AD have become BCE and CE. CE - Common Era and BCE - Becore Common Era.

But remember that before Christ we had our own Common Eras in Asia and Indian Subcontinent.

Do you remember - Vikrami Samvat and Shak Samvat?

Of course, a country and civilisation that lost the war becomes submissive and we have remained submissive even when India has become a Free Nation.

We are more in number. But we want to resemble the attackers. Hey, look at what they and their countries were before they came to India. How did they live? Oh, may be you think our ancestors would have loved to live the way they lived. Or may be you would.

Oh! Hinduism was so bad. Our Kshatriyas had no choice but to protect the people and be Kings. They were never so rich, that third lowest caste (as the foreigners call them) had so much power. They had all the money and were so rich that they could lend money to the Kings and Kings owed them the money.

And Brahmins! So called the highest caste! Ha ha ha

The sociologists and communists would laugh.

How can someone who is so poor be of the highest caste, the highest class. They never had enough money, no big mansions, nothing. They were beggars for the modern people who think so highly of material world. Highest caste! Poor people who had nothing?

Even the royal priest, the Prime Minister, didn't have a palace. And you want us to believe that they were of the highest caste? Even Chanakya lived in a hut! And you respect him?

They spoke of Mohanbhog. One would think ah delicious meal with lots of delicious dishes. But remember what they said - Mohanbhog - One must eat whatever one can have. Even boiled kaaley cholle, chickpeas, taste like Mohanbhog when one is really hungry. So that's what they ate? And they gave such a special name to this food? So stupid!

But in India, we were different. We respected them because they were our teachers. They knew more than we did. They spent their time studying. Nothing else. Just teachers, doctors, scientists!

Strange? But that was India about which no one teaches now.

We are impressed by Ayurveda. But do you know that Chyavanprash was discovered by a biological scientist whom they used to call a Rishi. One of the things that he discovered is sold as Chyavanprash today.

But do we know? Do we care?

It is just a tonic.

Really, we have learnt a lot. We know our history so well. Don't we?

Of course, the conquerors write history. Let's follow what they teach us. Let's follow their orders.

They still have the paths that we Indians call 'galli'. And they are still beautiful. How many 'gallis' do you have in your village and/ or city?

Think.
