Of those who partake "Indian" Thought

<<<What I refer to a Indian thought is not necessarily reflected Indian society. Nor does it mean that non-Indians could not be accepting it. Being Indian by birth does not make one compliant - a point that comes out loudly when one sees many NRIs with zero practice of yoga>>>

Tulasidas says this very eloquently in his Kavitavali, in context of "born Indians" not practicing the Indian thought:

bhali bhArat bhUmi bhale kula janmu samAju sarIru bhalo lahi kai

karaShA taji kai paruShA baraShA hima, mAruta, ghAma sadA sahi kai

jo bhajai bhagavAnu sayAna so.I, 'tulasI' haTha chAtaku jyo.n gahi kai

natu aura sabai biShabIja ba.E, hara hATaka kAmaduhA nahi kai

(Kavitavali.85)

In brief: "Otherwise, Tulasi sees the folks with the chance advantage of getting born in the Sacred land of Bharat, philandering it away unconscious of its great worth -- like a fool who is given the very Kamadhenu, the celestial wish-granting cow, not knowing her worth, ignorantly puts her under yoke to plow his fields, and what is more, cultivates a useless, even poisonous, produce."

-Sarvesh T.
