I see such write-ups all over the media, especially FB and WA. Suppose one ant had died drowning? I would have either thrown the water out or saved the ants on seeing it at the moment. Every object delivers something every minute to us which we bypass or observe or learn or ignore according to our convenience. Suppose had he seen in a big jar of water or oil Vrischika or rats in bulk what would have been his reactions? Right from Rig veda the oldest literature advocated qualities of sattva guna only; but we failed to read them; unity was advocated well; unity was also killed for dharma reason. Suppose the rats were killed while B G is adopted. Prakrithi do contain the birth and death wantonly or unwillingly. Our actions are different at different places. Could we adopt the unity with Pakistan as they are also ants? ACTIONS ARE PREDETERMINED; WE TRY TO BECOME WISE WHEN WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE; WE HAVE PROPERTIES SO WE WANT TO BE ALOOF PROTECTING US; mgr, vIJAYAKANT vIJAY STALIN SO MANY ENTERED POLITICS NOT TO SERVE PEOPLE BUT TO PROTECT THE VOLUMINOUS WEALTH. ANTS DO NOT HAVE ANY SUCH EXCEPT THE CRUMBLES. Yes united we gain but we are the culprits from remaining united because,"don't we have the feelings of he is ours so remin united as groupism only"? There is only an ant group without possession. There are hundreds of groups with self-preservation. K R IRS 81025
