[Our Present Fate]. A talk by Dr Alok Pandey in Hindi. The following passage is read: "A point she had reached where life must be in vain Or, in her unborn element awake, Her will must cancel her body's destiny. For only the unborn spirit's timeless power Can lift the yoke imposed by birth in Time. Only the Self that builds this figure of self Can rase the fixed interminable line That joins these changing names, these numberless lives, These new oblivious personalities And keeps still lurking in our conscious acts The trail of old forgotten thoughts and deeds, Disown the legacy of our buried selves, The burdensome heirship to our vanished forms Accepted blindly by the body and soul. An episode in an unremembered tale, Its beginning lost, its motive and plot concealed, A once living story has prepared and made Our present fate, child of past energies. The fixity of the cosmic sequences Fastened with hidden inevitable links She must disrupt, dislodge by her soul's force Her past, a block on the Immortal's road, Make a rased ground and shape anew her fate."
