 The summer is upon us sooner than it should be, hotter than it should be. Living a large part of India, in very severe states of water shortages, crop failures, enormous amount of suffering for those who live on the land and off the land. The last few months, hundreds of farmers have committed suicide because rain may play tront, rivers may stop flowing, crops may not blossom. But the money that you have borrowed keeps ticking with compounding interest. Been very cruel to a lot of people, people, those people who provide us with daily food. Their children are starved out and they take their own lives, not a good state. But still, in the last fifty years, there hasn't been a famine in the subcontinent. There have been very bad agricultural years, there have been droughts, but no famine. Before independence, we have seen some terrible famines where millions died. This land, this nation has seen some of the greatest things that a human being can do. It has also seen or endured the brunt of the worst things that human beings can do to themselves and to each other. We have seen the worst form of invasions, an occupation, very cruel. Everything that was of human's value was demolished or tarnished. Everything that can be taken was taken. Homes were burned down, wives and daughters were ravaged, children slaughtered, but still people endured. They never wrote down their sufferings in their history books. This is unique to this culture. We never wrote down our sufferings recorded in our history books. Though everything was taken from outside, out of sheer inner strength, people survived. Not only survived, they kept their tradition, their culture, their spirituality. It's been put to various kinds of tests of the worst kind of religious invasions and exploitation, but still survived, not just survived, flourished. Because this culture learnt one thing, that that which bends will never break. That's why first thing you do is bow down. That which bends will not break. This summer, weather could be harsh upon us. When the land heats up, when your head heats up, do you know how to remain cool is important. Because you cannot control the volume of heat, but you can become a solar panel, which you are actually. Every life, every leaf, every tree, every human being, every animal is actually a solar panel. The question is only, will it get burned down or will it generate new energy out of it? That's all there is.
