This time I was at home, my father told me this beautiful thing. Here is my version of what he told:
Many a time we all must have heard this phrase: pure-milk. Have we ever wandered what on earth does this mean? Try to think of the meaning of pure-milk. Many of us will finally say that, milk that has not been adulterated. There you go. Milk as such is just milk. You do anything to it, you can only make it impure, you can never make it purer.
Same is the case with this creation, our society, this nation and all this. We all complain about all these. Many of us try to change things for better; and ultimately meddling with it's delicate balance.
Hence, the status-quo is always the purest status. You meddle with it, you make it impure! Just relax and enjoy the show!!

What if an ant, a dead leaf or a small pebble falls in the milk. Will you not remove it?
It was an allegory; even milk from cow's udder will have bacteria...!! When I say earth is round like an orange, I dont mean that an orange is earth:-)
Of course Mangu Sir,
I understand your point. I also talked in allegory.
What if an impurity comes and corrupt the society, the nation whatsoever, won't you put effort to remove that impurity, won't you put effort to revert back to its purer or rather original state?
Yes; u r right. But then I also spoke in deeper allegory ;-)
"even milk from cow's udder will have bacteria...!!" I.e.where do you take the begin to begin? Just at this moment the way things are is the only way things could have been. And hence, its the best... rather there is no need for any epithet here. Epithets imply that you are comparing it with something from past! But how to cpmpare if things are not simillar? How can you compare a banana with an orange? Similarly, a morning is very unique in its own right. How can I say that the morning is good or bad? If I say so, I am living in the past and at the same time letting the present slip through...
What about "Pasteurization"?
Does that not make milk better [kills harmful micro organisms]?
I mean, for consumption.
And what do you mean when you said 'pure-milk'?
Pure in what sense?
There is "fresh milk", but what is this "pure milk"?
Fresh implies that it occurs by nature [i.e. not processed by man].
Fresh doesn't necessarily mean it is Pure.
When you say society is the milk, then we all are a part of that milk. And as milk itself can not sully itself, so even we are incapable of making the society impure.
Based on our own instincts, understanding and influence, we can produce a disturbance that might effect its orientation. Gandhi did that and so did Hitler.
By "relaxing" (which means "don't act") we might have no more "gandhi's" and "hitler's"
I think pure milk is a term, it means that their fats and proteins have not been reduced during the processing, milk was just exposed to thermal treatment, that's all
