Arjun :Hey Vasudev, how can I do the most heinous and unpardonable
act of forwarding email that I receive, to my friends, relatives and
revered elders?
Krishna: Paarth, at this moment, none of them is your friend or foe,
relative or in-law, young or old and good or evil. You have no escape
from following your Net-Dharma. Make haste to log on and send off the
email to one and all. That is the only Karma expected of you and
Dharma you must follow.
Arjun: Hey Murari! Do not implore me to do something that pricks my
conscience and stirs my soul.
Krishna: O Kunti-Putra, you are caught in the vicious circle of
Maya. In this material world, you are committed to no one except to
yourself, your Dharma and your mouse. emails have existed for the
last 25 years and will remain long after you are gone. Rise above the
Maya and perform your bounden duty.
Arjun: Lord Krishna, pray and enlighten me on how email is related to Maya.
Krishna: Vatsa, email is the 6 th element in the universe –Aap,
Vaayu, Jal, Agni, Aakaash and email. It is at the same time animate
and inanimate, living and dead beat. It overloads the system and fills
up the hard disk. But it serves one great purpose. It leads people to
believe that they are filling their time in an intellectual pursuit by
reading and re-forwarding mail. It gives them a sense of achievement
without investing their intellect and efforts. Like the Atman that
leaves one’s physical body and moves on to another, the email moves
from system to system and never gets deleted or dies.
Arjun: Great Giridhaari, kindly tell me what the true attributes of email are.
Krishna: Neither fire can burn it, nor air can evaporate it. Neither
can it be conquered nor can it be defeated. email is omnipresent and
immortal like your noble and eternal soul. Unlike an arrow shot from
your bow, many a time the email forwarded by you, will even return to
you safely after some months or even years, allowing you to
re-re-forward it to the same people.
Arjun: Great Saarathi, my salutations to you. You have opened my eyes
to the cult of email. I was lost in the Maya and have been reading all
the email that I keep receiving and doing no other Karma. Now on, I
will just press the "Forward" button without reading any of it and
send it to all and sundry, friends and foes, relatives and in-laws,
young and old. That will surely bring them to their knees in this
epochal battle of Good against Evil, in the Kurukshetra.
Krishna: Arjuna, victory or defeat is not in your hands. Do not
ponder over the fruits of your labour. Just keep forwarding email and
make one and all go bananas reading it and you will have done your
supreme duty. Tathastu.
Thus Spoke......
Lord Krishna
