Spurious Emotions!

Even the best speeches by any politician is today, looked at with a suspicison of, that of a one, intended to stoke the emotions of the audience to be turned towards one's own advantage...

With the bulk of the politicians doing the same or similar thing, the safe option 'seems' to be to distrust everyone, indiscriminately... obviating even the need to know, if one of them 'happens' to be a genuine one! And so, we look at these speeches as 'spurious emotions'...

Now, who are the losers, if one of such speeches were really 'genuine', even if the person making such a speech was not genuine or sincere about it? This(theme of the question), at once takes us to the very common question about a 'genuine guru' , when there are too many fakes around!

If the seeker is genuine, he feels the 'need' to know the distinction. I see no other option available.. though, 'outsourcing' the consequences of such a 'subtle or future-need' can actually precede the rising even, of such a need, or the realisation of such a need/want... (This aspect of 'outsourcing' was dealt-with so amazingly, by the ancients, when they made it into a tradition where the parents ensure a good tutelage for the child, either by themselves, or by initiating the child at the hands of a trust-worthy guru/teacher etc.)

We have cases like that of a 'padma-paada' where the deliverer of a 'worthy' message himself lacked adequate faith in it..

We have a joke-story, where a miserably-failed businessman, heavily debt ridden, decides to end himself, but accidentally meets a total stranger who gives him a bearer cheque for one million dollars, 'just-like-that'... and this businessman finds a new hope and inspiration, takes that cheque, and manages to come out of the troubles, but strangely enough without ever encashing that cheque. He now looks out for the person who gave him that cheque, and after haunting that very same place (where he met that benefactor) for few days, does meet him one day, but as he was about to return that un-encashed cheque 'with-thanks', finds a few white-uniformed people 'collecting' this benefactor, and they also asked this businessman, 'Did he give you a cheque for a million dollars?.. well he does that often, whenever he escapes from the mental asylum hoodwinking us!'

Now, the businessman gapes! Who was the 'real-source' of his inspiration?

As I listened to the speech by Shri Narendra Modi addressed to nation, through the audience at Ahmedabad at about 9 pm on 16th May, 2014 soon after the 'victory'... I found a lot of hints in it that a person can make use of, for one's own evolvement, whether a person seeks to be a leader, whether a person seeks to evolve oneself materially, or even whether a person seeks to evolve spiritually! These hints are not direct derivations out of the words spoken, but instead out of my own 'look out to learn something out of anything and everything'.. It is not often that I get to learn a lot from so little! And this at once amused me when I also knew there are bound to be hard-critics all over whose own-suspicions would prevent them from taking/receiving a 'clue' for their own betterment! (We have a sufficiently 'magnified' example, when share market 'attained' a volatility, attributed to the victory of this new-leader for the nation!.. But then, houseflies do get attracted towards carelessly strewn sweets, sugar, blood-stained materials, or at unflushed toilets even... And these flies do not oblige the people around with anything else other than contagious diseases... Perhaps, it is better to keep the place clean than keep-blaming those poor flies! I wonder who created this share-market itself, in the first place? Concept of 'shares' was okay, and very good.. trading too was very good, but over-speculation?)... That is where 'choices' made, often leads a person into a kind of helpless-choicelessness eventually. And we call it fate, destiny, etc!

'Spuriously' yours,
