If
we are able to resist....
the
temptation to 'pre-judge' any lack of something.... any hurdle
towards that lacking...
at
once...
as
yet-another-attribute of some other 'quality'...
then,
we
can try to look at our 'needless resistance within'... a negative
quality, that robs us of our innocence,
that
manifests often as 'Hate'...
as
also...
a
hurdle to our discovery of 'effeminate' grace within ourselves,
but
not “necessarily” ...... “a sign of manliness ....”..!!!
The
problem might be, when this resistance becomes sugar coated, when
... after we change its form (obstinacy-- a
mind-level-resistance), and then embellish it with 'strictly'
logic based argumentative justification of our
judgements/conclusions/fore-closures-of-perception.. etc!
Effeminate
grace! A very subtle quality!
And
so, a symbolism which is 'likely' to come 'as close as possible' as
an indicative example!
National
bird.. “Peacock” (a coincidence?... dunno!)
Even
its feather... 'seems' to represent ... durability, grace,
strength (though subtle)... mystic colors (the composition of
color-combination, invokes a mystic-emotion!)...
It
adorns the knot of tuft of hair on the 'complete-man'... he doesn't
even wear lot of cloth (leave alone a 'suiting'... he is just a
kid!... a loincloth is all he needs to drape in!)... But, the
legend tells that countless number of women felt drawn towards his
'effeminate' grace !
Peacock-aasana...
Not too many even manage the 'complete posture'... Biology can
tell us the strength of this bird's unique strength of nerves.. even
a look at its disproportionately thin legs, and the burden of large
plume, the body, etc... its alertness despite its burden, when it is
the earliest to respond to a sudden shower of rain, the grandeur of
its response, when the subtle shiver of its abruptly-spread-out long
feathers, a challenge to even the 'best-of-our-dancers!!!
I
lack poetic skills! (so please find a way to excuse my
audacity/gustaaqui, of this prose form of narrative, which deserves a
poetic-expression!)
