102 GREAT HYMN OF OBEISANCE: A CONTEMPLATION tion thereof both the parties should talk with pure heart. If the issue was limited to Ayodhya, the solution would have been found by now. I read only yesterday in the newspaper that one brother says that the question is not whether or not the temple would be constructed thereat. The question is whether or not Hindu culture would dominate this country. This feeling which exists is not allowing a solution to this problem. Therefore when they sit to negotiate there would be pressure in the background that if the decision is not in their favour, they would do this or would do that. Threats would be heralded from both sides and efforts would be made to have the decision in their favour and therefore time limit would be fixed. As a matter of fact, if attempt it made with pure heart, this should not take even three months. If this is not tackled with clean heart this cannot be solved even for years. Question : Indian culture has always consisted of love and co-operation. In this tradition how the situation of confrontation arose and how this problem arose? Dr. Saheb : The thing is that compromises take place on the basis of give and take; but in the compromise one who sacrifices most would be great; one who tries to extract most, he would not prove to be great. So long it concerns the Indian public, it does not desire to know what you have given and what you have taken? It would rest in peace when the compromise is arrived at. It would be happy in compromise only. If Indian public is explained that an extremely beautiful and grand temple would be constructed but it would be constructed just 50 steps away from the spot. This would not agitate the Indian public. The purport of what I say is that this can be explained. Similarly, Muslims can be explained that mosque would be constructed but just 50 metres away from the spot. There would be most beautiful courtyard, garden would be laid or there would be something that belongs to everybody and yet does not belong to anybody. The question here is of liberal attitude; one who displays liberal attitude, he would prove to be great. Our country is famous for charity, it always remains prepared to give everything. One who desires to be great would give greater emphasis on giving than on taking. This is the only way. *** 52
