Buddha represents the “enlightened one”. Buddha is a state of mind and not a person. So is Anna today. He represents the corruption-free state of mind. Anna represents the Satvik state of mind in each one of us, which is not under the influence of Tamas or Rajas.
Each one of us is controlled by the duality of mind and instead of taking the right actions we end up by taking the convenient action. The convenient action gives us the immediate gains while the right action is tough and may not give immediate results.
Indulging in corruption is the most convenient way of getting any work done. We tend to buy movie tickets in black, give money to electricians to get the electricity fixed up, buy goods in cash to save sales tax, bribe babus to get petty government works done and so on.
The time has come to waken up the sleeping “Anna” in each one of us. We should pledge that from today we will neither give bribes nor accept bribe from any one. As professionals, we will not give or accept commissions.
Let us become Satyugi living in Kalyuga and not Kalyugi living in Kalyuga. Even though we might be a minority, we as a group of Satyugi can make an impact in Kalyuga.
The awakened ‘Anna’ within us will give us the strength to fight with the corrupt in the society.
