Totally focused

I am totally focused, like Arjuna seeing only the eye of the revolving fish on the roof, and that too by its reflection in water in a basin in the swayamvar hall.

That eye for me is the vision of my country prosperous, with its people happy and living in harmony and enjoying a high standard of living. All the time I think only of this, and the remaining years of my life will be devoted to this single end.

 I knew all along when I set out on this solitary,self created path half a century ago that the journey would be full of thorns and terrible obstacles. That I have survived so far is itself a miracle, and the abuses I have received ( see, for instance, the comments on my last post )  only a very small part of the ordeal I had to face. But I have to carry on, and do my duty, as Lord Krishna said a man must do in the Gita
