హిందువు కి/కు ఒక ఉత్తరం

ఇ-పుస్తకాలు వెతుకుతూంటె ఇది కంట పడింది (గూటెన్‌బర్గ్ లో). చదువుతూంటే ఆసక్తికరంగా అనిపించి ఇక్కడ ఉంచాలనిపింది.

"A commercial company enslaved a nation comprising two hundred millions.
Tell this to a man free from superstition and he will fail to grasp
what these words mean. What does it mean that thirty thousand men, not
athletes but rather weak and ordinary people, have subdued two hundred
million vigorous, clever, capable, and freedom-loving people? Do not the
figures make it clear that it is not the English who have enslaved the
Indians, but the Indians who have enslaved themselves?

When the Indians complain that the English have enslaved them it is as
if drunkards complained that the spirit-dealers who have settled among
them have enslaved them. You tell them that they might give up drinking,
but they reply that they are so accustomed to it that they cannot
abstain, and that they must have alcohol to keep up their energy. Is it
not the same thing with the millions of people who submit to thousands'
or even to hundreds, of others--of their own or other nations?

If the people of India are enslaved by violence it is only because they
themselves live and have lived by violence, and do not recognize the
eternal law of love inherent in humanity.

_Pitiful and foolish is the man who seeks what he already has, and does
not know that he has it. Yes, Pitiful and foolish is he who does not
know the bliss of love which surrounds him and which I have given him._
KRISHNA."
