A Message from Mr. Anand Krishna, the primum mobile of National Integration Movement
To you, perhaps, she is just a homeland; a ‘Tanah Air’ as Indonesians say it: Land and Water. A piece of land you can always sell or buy anytime you want, a piece of land you can gamble in exchange of a piece of gold… Along with the water of which source you care not, as long as it satisfies your thirst. Today, you still step your foot on this land. Tomorrow, you will be stepping on other people’s land, and will forget this very land. Today, you still drink the water from her wells. Tomorrow, you will devour the water of other wells.
To me, Indonesia is my Motherland. I cannot put her on a wager, not even at a price of Heaven itself, religion, or whatever reasons – let alone for the worthless gold. I was born ‘through’ my biological mother, but the real mother who ‘gave birth’ to me was actually my Motherland. To me, She is the Embodiment of the Divine Energy, in all Her real and ethereal forms…
I once said before, my service to Her is part of my Faith…Now, I shall amend my previous statement. My service to Her, to my Motherland, is my only faith. Such is my belief, my religion.
You, who are still fond of exploring the existence of Heaven and heavenly delights, I wish you all the best. For to me, service to the Motherland is Heaven itself.
