Week 6 - Philosophical Film Posting
The film Inner Visions and Running Trains is about a realization that Baba Faqir Chand had in Iraq in 1919 at a military battle. There was a revolt by the local aborigine's that lead to a fierce battle. He was an inspector in the department of telegraphy and the railways. There were heavy casualties on both sides of the battle.
After a massive onslaught from the opposition his ranks were low on ammunition, and asked him to ask for a shipment of arms, they stated that if another onslaught like the one before occurred they would run out of ammunition and die. After he sent the request for ammunition he was visited by his guru, which told him that the enemy forces were going to come for their dead, but would not attack him, and to save their ammunition. He told the ranks what his guru had told him and the enemy only came for their dead, they did not engage.
