The word "sword" is here just a metaphor for our frustration over the injustices and disasters we are witnessing in the world.<br />
And if we do not get upset, sad etc, over for examples 20 million people i Pakistan, that has been affected of the flood. Something must have died inside us . The same goes for so much in our society and world.<br />
<br />
<b>Emotional reaction is a healthy sign...</b><br />
But the problem is, as I wrote, in what direction, shall we address this our sorrow or anger?<br />

Forgot to say:<br />
<br />
We have two choices: to go with the flow and thereby be caressed on the back, of a sympathetic water or take the necessary struggles that are needed for lasting change. What may at times require that we have to swim against the current, which felt so nice to have, as a friendly massage, just in the back<br />
<br />
<br />
From that, maybe the word "back up" comes :)<br />
<br />
That's true, hard to be without. But everything has a price

Whatever we think and whatever we dream about, so we must be able to share this with the world.<br />
But not everyone is privileged to. We so easily forget that it takes a democracy and free speech to able to speak up loud about our dreams.<br />
We ought to use, the right which our ancestors have fought for, much better<br />

We take too much for granted

because they had the permission of Ashoka who had himself got converted to Bhudhism..<br />
<br />
The History of kashmir Valley is full of illustrations how the Bhudhists converted the<br />
followers of Shaiva philosophy to Bhudhism ....!!<br />
<br />
Later shankeracharya only reminded the Hindus of their original richer culture and religion and they themselves returned to their original fold. It happened the same way all over India. If you have read the history of Shankeracharya , He died at the young age of 32 and he was not a warrior...<br />
<br />
He was a saint ...! He bnever directed the people to cause anykind of destruction....! But the people realising that how they were made fools by the Bhudhists reconverted thair own temples that had been taken over by Bhudhists . Naturally the Bhudhists reacted angrily ..., and followed was a struggle all over India. for the return of Hinduism in a natural manner ...!@!
