MIND
AND ITS MARVELS
It
is a marvellous gift blessed by the Omni benevolent Lord akin
"to a gold coin dropped into head by that kind God. Its obverse
is bright and sweet to look at The bright part illumines the world
by its sharp elevating thought and the sweet part shows readiness
to cooperate, coordinate and coalesce even. So an asset desirable
and mate reliable. Enabling man for escalation. It fills the world
with concord and ethereal bliss. Its reverse, oh horrible! It is
dark, damnably mischievous and maliciously pernicious. It has a
strong streak of vanity and reve is at its own monk eying. Its
bloated egotism knows no law nor cares for any authority here or
above. It believes blindly MIGHT is RIGHT. and relies on using
muscle power. deluding itself that it brings eternal victory. And to
! over all. Hence confrontation begins. Clash gives rise to an
infinite number of sins, like coveting, intruding, seizing, killing,
cheating, oppressing etc. Whether committed wantonly or otherwise,
they make existence miserable. Mostly the innocent fall prey to
sins, in acts of self-defense, or while safe-guarding the Dharma of
the land.
For
expiation of sins, and liberation of souls from the cycle of births
and deaths, our Scriptures have spelt out several ways and means
with many an ennobling episode and elevating experience. Time and
again. And what is more, both in and out of context too. Their zeal
to lift man deserves
commendation. Every attempt deliberately made in this direction
brings out vividly, how man can reach heaven - his legitimate home.
If the ways envisaged are followed sincerely, and injunctions
implemented implicitly, man can become Godman and win a coveted
place in the pantheon
after death and enviable following while living. They encompass
every man regardless of age, caste, colour, creed, profession,
religion and region he lives in.
