Implications of Inaction

 

Implications of Inaction

The modern world is full of action, most of it is violence based on perceived wrongs, territorial ambition or plain and simple greed. We have this action taking place on a daily basis – both at the micro and the macro level. At the micro level we have physical violation of people’s dignity, violence if there is resistance, kidnapping and ransom, and a whole gamut of abuses rendered by man upon man. Even though this is bad, what is worse is the inaction by those who are witness to these violations of human dignity!

Nowadays with the proliferation of smart phones people start shooting videos of such action and posting it on social media for their two minutes of fame rather than intervening and trying to go to the assistance of those being violated, or at least calling for help from others or the police – but no! The general nature of humans has fallen to such a low that shooting videos or taking photos is more important than helping another human!

We ourselves probably do not realise that we have slowly lost our conscience and we just do not react the way we should – with compassion and love – it is now more about two minutes of fame at the cost of a fellow human being. We have vulture journalism now and maybe because that is what we see in the print and visual media day in and day out – that is what has shaped our conscience – we probably think that is how the world is! So unfortunate – if we have fallen into that trap!

This inaction results into karmic obligations which we have to work out later in our life or we carry it on into our subsequent birth to face the music then. Every action has a reaction and unless we reach a state where we can absorb all this negativity and surmount it, we are in for a tough time. All this can be done easily from the moment we start meditating and turning inwards. Once, we start doing that, our energy centres start getting balanced and with time our soul becomes the mirror which reflects all our faults. Once, we begin seeing our own shortcomings we start changing for the better. Our inaction then turns into positive action as our nature itself changes at the fundamental level.

Meditation cleanses us from within, removes the muck encasing our soul, makes us see the truth as it is and helps us face life as human beings rather than voyeuristic animals that we seem to have become. Meditate to avoid the consequences of inaction in trying circumstances!
