I'm not for Wikileaks
Okay...I never wanted to and never want to even now to butt in these matters. But I do it now because of my past inertia, which will subside down soon. And also because I'm feeling pretty charged up...like being charged up with ahigh voltage current in my brain.
I'm not against what Wikileaks stands for but the way they are doing it is wrong. Okay...there is always this conflict between the law and order establishment and the self-appointed guardians of the society. Other than those on both the sides who are captivated by power, they both claim to be for justice. And this battle has been raging on since time immemorial and it will continue to last. However, there is a thin line which tips the scale in favour of the establishment...kind of like 51% in favour of them. This is only because it is their normal duty and not any moral high-ground of theirs.
The problem with exposing like this on a grand scale is that it is like exposing or getting exposed all of the body to the lover and not everyone enjoys this.
The argument that the world citizens have a right to information is a wrong one because this information is officially classified. While it does put a check on the establishment, it puts at risk the lives of thousands, if not millions of lives. It can even trigger a nuclear war if the different countries get to know what the other have been saying or doing behind their backs.
Why am I writing this? I don't know. I feel like I'm alone and cannot even relate to anyone or let anyone approach me.
I'm at cross-roads between being fully open and being guarded. I wish I could terminate myself but fortunately or unfortunately I have to carry on.
I never wanted all this. I don't want this. I will never want this.
This may be different but I remember the time when Archana's parents were forcing her to marry another. She said, 'Enakku yen melaye nambikka illa'. I cannot tell the same thing now. I have to have faith in myself that I'm a friend and not a fiend.

Difference between a watch dog and a musing doggy
http://www.animalmuse.com/
Watch dogs don't stare at us, atleast when we look at them. They are not trained that way. It's too heavy on their nerves to do 2 things at one time.
Musing doggies look at us, go around somewhere and come back to sneak a peek at us, thinking we are not aware of them. They are cute and funny to watch at.

Thank you
1. Not involve myself in things not of my nature.
2. Take rest.
3. Listen to the charama sloka recordings daily for 3 weeks.
4. Continue taking the medicines toning it down every month.
This is similar to the way I used to deal with headaches. When I had an headache, I used to do 4 things...
1. Stop whatever disturbing/exciting activity that I was engaging in.
2. Take rest.
3. Apply Amrutanjan, a fast-acting pain relief balm that acts in 1 minute, kind of like first-aid.
4. Take Saridon, a tablet that gets rid of headache in 5 minutes.
Words cannot express my gratitude to my friends who tolerate me. Thank you.

Does Hafiz Saeed work in the dirty mud as a farmer to contribute to whatever he is doing?
Why does he have to divert the charity money when he can use some other source?

Svadharma
Sva means self. Dharma means support. The Bhagavad gita lays a lot of stress on Svadharma.
Better one's own duty, though destitute of merit, than the duty of another, well discharged. Better death in the discharge of one's own duty; the duty of another is full of danger. ~ BG 3:35
Some more on this is told in BG 18:41 - 18:49.
But today there is no official caste system in India. So defining Svadharma becomes tricky and difficult. However, if we understand Svadharma by the root of the meaning at a subtle level, it becomes clear. Every living being has to fulfill it's role in supporting the universe, whether it be working as sales man or going to buy vegetables or taking part in a marriage ceremony etc.
This is good for both the neurotic workaholics and the lazy procrastinators. The neurotics don't need to worry themselves anymore that the world is going to crumble because he or she is sleeping. The procrastinators can have a good motive to start working because they now feel important that they are contributing to the world in their own way. And since everyone is doing their jobs, there is harmony. This is ofcourse an ideal state that everyone tries to achieve.
