There are some things that are absolutely uncompromising about not being bound by lines on any map.
Knowledge. Art. Love. Commonsense.
I know Americans who have dedicated their lives to Indian classical music. And
I know Indians who breathe rock n' roll and jazz. If you are born in a small village
in Bengal, fall in love with Beethoven, and can't stay away from the piano,
then that's just how it is. And if you are a white boy from Nashville,
Tennessee, who can't keep his hands off the Sitar, then that's your love affair
:).
And the overlaps can be breathtaking! Did you know
that the modes of western music are similar to the moorchas of Indian
classical :)?
Likewise with Knowledge. Whichever subject from whichever part of the world you
are drawn to, that's what you will pursue.
Be committed to truth, beauty, peace, love. Be uncompromising about these
things. That's all that can be asked of us.
Paths - our right to choose. Or maybe they choose us!
