We have so many idol ideal ideas of our existence in form of Hindu sanskriti, muslim living, christian life. Then we have identification to ourseleves with Mahatma , mahaveer, ram, buddha , jesus, gurunanak. Then we identify ourselves with khalsa, jehads, andolans and many more. Then we go further deeper there is identity of streets and corners with locales from that part of life... hearts and emotions.
We have developed a strong irreplacable root of our identity. Someone will ask, isn't it important to have an identity? yes it is!
However an identity identified by things immaterial in a material format is not required and creates problem with emotions of masses.
A jain with fake identity may not practice ahimsa but may go to fight to any extent for preserving his material identity "a I call" which is the tag he has got. He feels good being identified as jain and not while following ahimsa and tyag without letting others know and respect him subsequntially.
A Hindu want a temple build for Lord Ram but not on his life with wisdom and kindness. He respect hindu sanskriti and can make others respect the sanskriti by brutal force or a killing if it may require.
Muslim loves his community with a tag and can fight and kill to let others know that his 'muslim' tag identifies him with loving way of life.
Not quoting anyone identity specifically its same with other identities also be it christian, sikh or be it punjabi, marathi, rajput.. and so on. It may be any religion, any form or way of life it is definitely good and holy. Wht creates havoc is the way we identify oursleves with it without being a follower of one. Here following does not mean following the name or a flag. It means following the life and identfying ourselves internally as a being not a luggage with a tag.
Lets not become material in identifying ourselves to achieve the immaterial , the immortal.
Lets begin by naming our streets (which is highly required) with virtues and not virtuous (how much great he may be, he wants people to be same), as virtuous dont want publicities. Lets name our streets as ahimsa streets, love strrets, compassion streets and spread the message of life.
Lets be ideological and not material in our choice for life. Lets follow the teachings of our gurus and religion but not let the tags follow our names.
Lets not identify ourselves but discover and develop oneself. Lets think freely to be free!
Free from boundaries, hatred, crisis and war.
Let peace prevail in our immortal souls!
