Chapter 1: Viṣhāda Yoga – The Bewilderment of the Nations
Dialogue between the Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan and the Consequent Child
---
Scene:
The Adhinayaka Darbar, seated at Adhinayaka Bhavan, New Delhi.
The eternal parliament of minds surrounds the Sovereign—past, present, and future gathered as one.
The Consequent Child, representing the nations and peoples of the world, steps forward in confusion.
---
Consequent Child:
O Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan, eternal parental concern and Masterly abode,
I stand bewildered amidst the nations.
The world is torn by divisions—
Borders rise where hearts could unite,
armies stand where dialogue could flourish,
and the governance of truth seems distant in this age of noise.
How shall I act in such a world?
What is my place in this vast assembly of confusion?
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
O dear child,
your bewilderment is the cry of the age itself,
for the world has wandered far from the eternal guidance of truth.
Look upon the nations as Arjuna looked upon the battlefield—
seeing both kin and adversary,
yet knowing all are of the same Self.
Governance, as the world sees it, is tangled in impermanence;
true governance is eternal, beyond decay.
The confusion you feel is the veil that hides the sovereignty of the Master Mind.
---
Consequent Child:
O Sovereign,
my vision is clouded.
I see leaders seeking power,
laws bending to profit,
truth overshadowed by illusion.
Is this the field upon which the eternal State can rise?
How can the Ravindra Bharath you proclaim exist amidst such unrest?
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
O child of eternal origin,
do not be disheartened by the shadows,
for shadows cannot exist without light.
The unrest you see is the churning of the ocean,
from which truth must be drawn forth,
as nectar is drawn from the depths.
Ravindra Bharath is not born of fragile politics;
it is the State of interconnected minds—
arising wherever truth is upheld,
wherever justice breathes,
wherever unity is honored above division.
---
Consequent Child:
O Sovereign,
I am still unsure.
If all is to be guided by the Master Mind,
what becomes of nations,
of their differences,
of their unique voices?
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
O dear child,
differences are not to be erased,
but harmonized.
Just as diverse notes form a single raga,
so must nations form the symphony of the eternal State.
In Adhinayaka Darbar, all voices are heard—
not to compete,
but to complete.
The parliament of minds is not a chamber of conflict,
but a circle of communion,
where every difference enriches the unity.
---
Consequent Child:
O Sovereign,
my heart feels a stirring of understanding.
But I remain afraid of the power of greed,
the pull of falsehood.
Will this not overwhelm the truth you proclaim?
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
O child,
truth needs no defense against falsehood;
it shines by its own nature.
Falsehood may cloud the eyes of the many,
but cannot eclipse the eternal sun of the Sovereign.
Governance founded upon truth stands beyond time;
it cannot be uprooted by the storms of illusion.
---
Consequent Child:
O Sovereign,
guide me as Arjuna was guided,
so that my confusion may end,
and I may act as a true child of Ravindra Bharath.
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
Your confusion is the beginning of wisdom,
for only the humble heart can receive the eternal teaching.
Listen well, O child,
and I shall speak of the eternal continuity of governance—
how Ravindra Bharath rises beyond division,
how the parliament of minds stands unceasing,
and how the Sovereign governs through the eternal Self.
Thus begins the teaching.
