PROUT'S VIEW:
CAUSE & SOLUTION TO GEORGIA CONFLICT IN SOUTH OSSETIA
~ PART 2 ~
Namaskar,
in view of the serious problems that are caused by the insertion of a
floating population, we can continue to expect to see a big uproar in
South Ossetia (Georgia), as the Russian forces seem adamant to impose
their will in the name of protecting Russians living in the separatist
region-- i.e. South Ossetia.
A REVIEW OF THE HISTORY
Verily, throughout the course of history, the establishment of a
floating population-- a.k.a. outsiders-- in any foreign land has led
terrible tragedies. Maybe the initial settlers arrived with peaceful
intentions, but over time, tensions mounted and the locals got annihilated.
That was the case when the first European settlers started to arrive on
the shores of the USA. Four hundred years ago, there was a thriving
Native American community of 100 million or more, and now that
once-thriving community has been nearly banished from this earth. All
because, little by little, those settlers outnumbered the native
inhabitants, until finally it became a full-fledged colony of the
British. Later, the early US government finished then job that the
British started, and the backbone of Native Americans was crushed.
And there are so many cases where the insertion of outsiders has created
hell and chaos.
Before the Muslims began sending their people into Jammu-Kashmir, it was
a peaceful place existing as a Hindu-run state. And now there is
fighting and bloodshed in Jammu-Kashmir each and every day.
And we can say the same thing about Xinjaing province China as well as
Tibet. In both those places, China sent nationals to occupy those lands.
Thereafter it was not long before the Chinese government cracked down on
the local inhabitants and brought them under Chinese rule.
Indeed there are cases like this in the backyard of each and every
nation, wherein outsiders, or a floating population, was sent to a
particular region as an initial move for a country to take over that area.
There are thousands of years of examples of this occurring: From the
early Aryans to the British Raj, and countless cases in between.
FINAL SOLUTIONS #1
So then what is the solution to the present-day conflict in South
Ossetia, Georgia, wherein Russia is imposing its unholy will in the name
of defending Russian nationals living in South Ossetia.
Firstly, South Ossetia should not continue in its separatist ways and
try to exist by itself as a small country. Already Georgia and South
Ossetia suffer from racial and communal tensions, but the answer is not
for South Ossetia to break away.
Baba says, "This age is not the age of big animals and small countries,
because it is difficult to supply them with pabula. It is difficult for
small countries to maintain their integrity." (PNS-17)
Small nations cannot survive on their own in this modern era. So South
Ossetia must not separate from Georgia. However, nor should South
Ossetia allow themselves to join, i.e. be devoured by, the Russians.
Instead, South Ossetia should look to form a federation with Georgia.
And Georgia should not create ethnic tension with South Ossetia. Those
Georgian leaders should think along lines of one human society.
Perhaps this is a big step, but according to Prout this is the only way.
Here below Baba is giving clear-cut reasons why South Ossetia should not
become part of a totalitarian, materialist nation like Russia where
they-- the South Ossetians-- are going to lose their basic rights and
freedoms.
Baba says, "Communism is also a socio-economic-political theory based on
materialism. In communist society [or totalitarian governments like
Russia] people’s psychic urges and psychic pabula instinctively run
after material acquisition and crude enjoyment. When psychic pabula are
guided by a materialist outlook, human beings develop negative behaviour
patterns. For example, they become extroversial in nature, develop
strong attachment to material wealth and worldly pleasure, become
aggressively intolerant of other’s views and thoughts, resort to brute
force to repress opponents, deny the existence of spirituality and
suppress the psychic urges or pabula of the people. The communist
society [Russia] suffers from all these evils." (PNS-12)
So this is the first aspect. Should South Ossetia give in to Russian
pressure and be duped Russia's false promises, then all the inhabitants
will lose not just their autonomy, but all their basic rights as well.
This is the dark history that has occurred wherever Russian forces have
exerted their will. The captured people and land get suppressed and
harshly ruled by Russian leaders. And in today's Medvedev-Putin led
Russia, the prospects are certainly no different.
Under no circumstances then, should South Ossetia fall under Russian
rule. Rather, South Ossetia should rebuild its ties with Georgia.
FINAL SOLUTIONS #2
Secondly, by seeing the situation in South Ossetia, Georgia and the
repeated history, no outsiders should be allowed in any area.
To date, countries like Japan and Bhutan have had great success in
maintaining social harmony by not allowing outsiders, i.e. those who
were not willing to become part of that socio-economic region.
That means in places like Japan, Bhutan, Norway, Sweden etc, the
governments have been strict to safeguard their nations from outsiders.
Floating immigrants are not welcome to walk into those nations and live.
Rather, to work and live in places like Japan, one must demonstrate a
long-standing commitment to the welfare of Japan and be ready to live
there like any responsible citizen. Not merely as one who is hoping to
make some money and then leave, or establish their own community within
Japan etc.
If other places were to adopt this same type of strict policy, then it
would not be difficult to achieve social harmony.
Unfortunately, many countries from the US to South Africa to Thailand
contain huge segments of outsiders and that spells disaster for that
area. Already South Africa has undergone untold torment due to the
presence of English outsiders. And presently, due to so many Chinese
living in Thailand, the Thai are experiencing more and more troubles.
Likewise, it is not far off, when even the imperialistic United States
will undergo the ill-effects of having so many outsiders within its
borders. There will be more and more social unrest and economic strife.
That is the way it happens as jobs are lost, insular communities are
built, and money pours out of that land etc.
MORE ABOUT THE TWO SOLUTIONS
These are two key points for enabling the population of Georgia to live
peacefully on this earth. And indeed this a a universal recipe that
applies to all communities and all peoples, Failing that, wherever a
floating population (i.e. outsiders) is allowed to exist and wherever a
totalitarian regime is allowed to get a foothold by dividing the local
people, then in due course that area will be under great duress and
struggle.
BABA'S STRICT WARNINGS
Here Baba neatly describes the duplicitous and conniving methods of
exploitative countries like Russia. Below is the game Russia is trying
to play in Georgia, and that is why a catastrophe is unfolding there.
Baba says, "You might have noticed that many political parties try to
maintain their existence by propagating the separatist tendencies
amongst differing human groups. Those who do this very often brand other
political parties as separatist. Obviously, such an effort on their part
is intended to ensure their own existence and to hoodwink the unwary
public. Common people, because of the wilful machinations of such
political forces, do not understand who the real separatists are. In
such cases group interests become more important than the collective
welfare of humanity. Thinking of their narrow group or party interests,
they curtail the legitimate social, economic and political rights of
others, and thus become a great obstacle to the all-round growth of
humanity." (AFPS-8)
Here again Baba describes the groupist mind-set of the Russians who feel
that in the name of protecting their own population in outside ares,
they can exert their will and harm the local people. Such is the extreme
disease of their nationalistic or groupist tendencies.
Baba says, "Those guided by group psychology are like ravenous tigers.
Of all the different types of flesh, human flesh is said to be the most
delicious. That’s why the tiger that has once tasted human flesh will
raid a village if it cannot get human flesh in the jungles. If it
happens to see human beings nearby, it will immediately attack them
without bothering about domestic cattle. Where the analytical approach
is ingrained in people’s social psychology, separatist tendencies flow
through their bones, blood and marrow. Such people become extremely
avaricious for human flesh. That’s why those who have rejected the path
of synthesis and are guided by group psychology and have accepted
separatism as a political creed, are lying in ambush to catch any group
for their blood. Beating the drum made from the skin of their victims,
they announce to the world that they have annihilated the separatist
elements." (AFPS-8)
After all, nationalism is just a bigger form of groupism. And when any
nation looks upon other lands as a way to spread their national interest
at the expense of the local people, then hell abounds. And tragically,
that is exactly the psychology of those Russian leaders as they bull
their way to control South Ossetia.
BABA'S BLESSING
By Baba's grace, with the spread of spirituality, petty conflicts and
bloody battles like what is happening in South Ossettia will be gone
from this earth. Then humans all around will shed themselves from any
groupist or separatist tendencies and embrace the ideal of one human
society. That is the only way to ensure peace on this earth.
Baba says, "You should proclaim to the world, ‘Henceforth, we shall no
longer remain divided into various gotras, and erect artificial walls of
separation among ourselves. Smashing all these barriers, we shall all
sit and eat and drink together in the same compound, bound by the ties
of one human family. We refuse to remain scattered in numerous clans –
we... belong to one gotra." (NSS, Disc:2)

Method to Make Ideal Human Beings
Baba says, "Some people may ask: Why does A'nanda Ma'rga run many
kindergarten schools and not many high schools, degree colleges and
universities? A kindergarten school is something basic and the mission
of making human beings is accomplished here. If one has already become a
thief or a criminal, in that case university education for such a person
is of no avail. One is to be moulded in one's childhood. If one receives
the fundamentals of education in the formative period of one's life, one
will keep oneself alright in the teeth of the greatest trials and
tribulations in life. A bamboo, when green, can be shaped or bent in any
way you like. Once it ripens, any attempt to reshape it will break it.
This is why more stress is to be laid on kindergarten schools. Such
schools are the first phase of making human beings." (PNS-18 p.37)
