In this Mankutimmana Kagga with deep motivational meaning DVG, a Kannada philosopher guides us on how to grow a fighting spirit in our soul.
On a superficial level, the world appears to be incomplete and insufficient. There are many shortcomings in the world and society around us. Can this be corrected?
What can I, an insignificant aspect of the vast existence, can do to correct this world.
In this Kagga with a paradoxical overture, DVG throws light on how to go about it.
If Chanakya has thought I am an insignificant priest, how can I bring down the tyranny of the Nanda dynasty?
If Ambedkar had thought I cannot fight for bringing social justice in independent india, India would still have the caste system
If Lenin had thought I am a small journalist who can’t bring down the Soviet empire, the history of the world would have been different.
If Vidyaranaya, a pontiff of the Sringeri mutt, had not dreamt of a strong empire and worked towards realizing it, history would have never had a page of the Vijayanagara empire.
The same mindset applies to fighters like Jayaprakash Narayan and Periyar.
If lord Krishna had assumed I am a small person who tends cows, how can I fix the world and make the Dharma stand on its four legs, we would have never heard Bhagavad Gita. The story of Mahabharatha renders different without Krishna.
Instead of grieving that I am a very weak person and I have no control over the happenings of this world, we should take up the responsibility and try to change this world for the greater good, in whatever measure we can.
As Gita says do your epic work and let the divine take its course while giving results.
But never become a fencesitter and be in dilemma. Jump into the river of struggle and hustle to realize your enlightenment, says DVG in this stanza of Mankutimmana Kagga.
ಎಲ್ಲಕಂ ನಿನಗಿಲ್ಲ ಕರ್ತವ್ಯದಧಿಕಾರ ।
ಇಲ್ಲದೆಯುಮಿಲ್ಲ ನಿನಗಾ ಹೊರೆಯ ಪಾಲು ॥
ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಾದನಿತ, ಮಿಕ್ಕುದು ಪಾಲಿಗನ ಪಾಡು।
ಒಲ್ಲನವನ್ ಅರೆನಚ್ಚ - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ॥ ೫೮೪ ॥
