Though I practise in Supreme Court, I avoid to file any Public Interest Litigation on my own whims and wishes?

Today, a LinkedIn freind asked me to file a Public Interest Litigation on a subject I wrote in my blog. This prompted me to write this short note.

I replied to her as under;

“I believe in Bhagwad Gita’s stanza which says, “He who does not start anything on his own is dear to me”…..

So I do not start any battles on my own.

Unless I am retained and asked by someone to file a PIL, I avoid acting on my own wishes even if the subject may be of interest to me.

This principle makes me detached about whether I fail or win in the battle. It prevents me from being disappointed or elated with hopes of publicity and TV interviews.

I prefer to be instrument in the hands of God and His Wishes expressed through others.

I believe that only those who have some kind of mandate or responsibility to act, should file PIL.

I think this is what I truly believe.

“Resist no evil except with love and non violence” – Even if I am the only person on Earth to practice this, I will continue to make my experiments with this proposition. It is proved that Evil in the world cannot be reduced by producing counter balancing evil force. It is yet to be proved that Love and Non violence can reduce total quantity of evil in the world… I am dead. But I hope someone else somewhere in the world will continue to experiment with this proposition.
