Cleansing of our own corrupt mind.

I am overwhelmed by the thousands of Indians participating in Anna Hazare Anti corruption movement. It is difficult for an ordinary Citizen to leave his daily chorus & devote time for a greater cause. Life in India Is tough & one has to slog for making his or her livelihood. In this scenario kudos to those who were able to manage time for participating in this greater & noble cause. A thought comes to my mind how much out of these crowd will adapt an honest & truthful approach to there own life. It is little easier to put finger on others but much difficult to put finger on ourselves. Whether it is politician , babus or civil servant , they all are part of our own society. Can we say honestly if any member of our family becomes a member of parliament , we would not take the advantage of the situation. If any member of our family joins police force the very moment we would start behaving with more arrogance. Who kills the girl child immediately after birth in this country , the politician only or any normal Indian citizen. Killing girl child , is it not a type of corrupt mind . why one kills a girl child , because a boy will take care of me in my older days, because he will bring dowry in the family when he will be married , because he will carry the family name after we become a mortal soul. Is this not a type of crude corruption. Who takes dowry , only politicians, The answer you know already. If any of us faces a situation when our boss in the office comes & say that your promotion is confirmed but you have to harass your colleague who is anti boss due to his corrupt ways of handling the department. I bet it won't take more than a minute before i or you start abusing the honest colleague.
We all are so full of evils in our minds & attitude that the whole society has become corrupt but we choose to throw stones on others. People like Anna Hazare becomes so popular due to the fact because we do not have the courage to cleanse our own corrupt mind but we like to change the society with the help of a person who did it effectively in his own life.
I bet nothing will change even if Anna Hazare brings success by bringing Lokpal bill. A society or civilization can not change by simply bringing a Law. IT changes when major part of the society feels for a change within themselves to enable them to create a better world. Once you make a change within your own corrupt mind that day you or we will not require any Anna hazare to do all the hard work. Truth & integrity makes you strong so strong that even government of the largest nation looks pygmy in front of you. Anna has shown us the power of truth . Most of us succumbs to evil ways for two reasons , one our own lust for power & fame , the second due to fear of loosing job if we protest against our corrupt superiors. you have the answer for the second part in Anna Hazare. If you follow the path of truth , you become so stronger that one day everybody will bow to you. As for the first part i would say , Power & fame is temporary phenomenon & it never lasts for forever. When it goes the life for those who are addicted to it becomes a bed of thorns.
Let us pledge today that first we should clean our own corrupt mind if we want to see our country as a peaceful care for for all society.
