India, a begining and an end

In the begining there was a large piece of Earth floating northbound on the great ocean until it reaches land and kissed the great land of what is Asia, creating such passionate roar that it created the greatest and tallest mountains on Earth: the Himalays. And there was born a territory and a country.
The history of India is quite full and goes back to 10000 years and more. Starting as an Island, it moved north to crash onto the Asian continent which created the Himalayas and a climate that would sustain billions of people up to our century.
It was the People from the African continent that migrated to South India and whose descendant still exist with the very same DNA than their ancestor over 5000 years ago, older than Ancient Egyptians.
The rest of the story is a mixed of migrations, wars, invaders from all over the globe from Aryans, to Greecs, to Roman, to Arabs, the Europeans, ect...
This is now the 21st century and many part of India still pulses at the same beat than their ancestors. Same believes, same traditions, same ways of life to which was added 'some' modern amenities like running water and cell phones. I know, it seems quite striking of a difference. But it seems to me more people have cell phones than they have a bed to sleep in, or heat in their adobes.
It is too much to understand and let alone to talk about. This place is such a mix of old and new, rich and poor, ignorant and knowledgeable, beauty and uglyness, virtuous and vicious, gods and humans...It is all there.
I am not inspired to write about it probably because it feels like an overwhelming tasks, so I will just suggest to see it for yourself.
In the end, India is the largest country in the world with the most ancient traditions alive, roaming the streets of mega slums and largely overpopulated noisy town, coming crashing into the 21st century and creating moutains of something I can only suspect to be the grandiose BLAH...
On the other hand, there is something that is happening to me on the mind level and on the spiritual level. On the mind level, well, it is clear that the mind can not comprehend this mind blasting culture and dislikes and likes can not really go too far. So my mind seems to have quit trying to figure it out. Which in turn, when blasted with pure light from the Guru, leave the road open to enjoy pure consciousness and bliss. Bliss is the only state of mind that can sustain living in those conditions. You could say it makes sense that India has sprouted the most spiritual advances creating Buddha and Krishna, Gurus, Lamas, ect...The mind of India probably carries the biggest suffering scale wise in the whole word with one something BILLION people.
This spiritual state is the eternal peace, a space that is unchanging, eternal, free and pure forever and that is permeating all my perception. It slowly clears out the last bits of resistance my mind offers. I love my mind, I just don't want it to be the boss. I am not my mind, I am the Tao. I am my mind, but I am not. I am aware of that fact. Awareness is the number one friend to have to make it on the road to SELF and climb (or expand) the laders to Heavens' Peaches.
We are peace, we are love, we are harmony, we are pure and free forever.
