Dogs and "Humanity"

Today i got up at 2:00 am to study, it was just like any other morning, boring and dull :). I went to bed at 4:30 am to take a nap for an hour. I heard the gate of my house move. I dint bother to look, because i knew it was the street dog, who takes shelter under the car inside the gate. I could hear a cry of the dog. I still dint bother to look.

The noise of the gate did not stop, i thought the dog is just confused and wandering in and out. But suddenly i felt there were many dogs inside because i could hear few cry and few barking. I had no option to check out as i was just lying on the bed. To my surprise, there were 4 dogs and 2 puppies. These puppies were just born and their mother was trying to find a warm place for the puppies. And i recognized the other 3 dogs as regulars who take shelter under my car everyday.

Even my dad, and my dog Manju woke up and came down to ground floor to see what is happening. Me and Manju were exited to see these puppies, he started sniffing them. The mother of puppies was continuously licking the puppies to make them feel worm.

The fat mother of the puppies went wriggling, twisting and turning through the small gaps in the gates. Few days back i had to tried to cover these gaps as much as possible to stop the dogs from coming in, but as i see now everything was a waste.

I thought i will go back to take my nap. But still i again heard the noise of the gate, i knew this mother came in again. I looked over the window, I saw the mother had got another puppy inside and was licking it continuously. The dog was licking every puppy turn by turn.

This is not first time, i have seen so much love and affection among the dogs. I remember when i was in engineering, a puppy of few months gave its life by fasting because his brother died in front of him. I remember trying to feed him, he did not have a single bite till his death.

There is so much humanity in the dogs. They have the character of there own, they are determined, they are kind, they enjoy, they get angry and so on.

We humans have added a new character i.e 'jealousy' into the Humanity. There is structure where jealousy leads to a large scale destruction and violence.

Jealousy -> Corruption -> Poverty -> violence( naxalism, maoism etc).

I would make another post trying to understand how the above structure works.

But coming back to the primary scope here, i.e , we humans can change and remove jealousy and start loving everyone around. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa says that " You can attain God by profound devotion and Such devotion is attained by sincere love"

So we can see god and have a feel of satisfaction of seeing him through unconditional love.
