Time to ponder….
What stands the test of time? Who is remembered and revered through ages?
We’ve had political leaders who’ve altered history and the fundamental qualities of man. Are these men remembered and worshipped by people?
There were brilliant scientists like Einstein and Edison whose respective theories and findings play pivotal role in the very functioning of modern world. Their thoughts begot admiration and awe. In every endeavor of man, their findings assume place.
Are these mammoth inventors venerated by people everyday?
The answer is self-evident.
Outside our schools we’ve never remembered these historical figures. Though we had committed their history to memory during school days and are incorporating their findings in day to day work, somewhere we don’t connect to them.
The reason is simple. When we get to the bosom of man’s definition, we find he is made up of spirituality. It is spirituality that clearly distinguishes man from other life forms. Being spiritual is natural to him.
Being otherwise is a mere self- imposition. It is like a sheep draping up in wolf’s costume .Nothing can alter its fundamental nature. Though man tries to re-define himself as a materialism-centric being, he cannot mask the truth.
Thus only spirituality remains eternal!
We find only Lord Rama and his devotees ( Azhwars and Acharyas ) being worshipped day in and day out. They are worshipped alike by our great grandfathers, us and our progeny.
What contributions did they make to materiality? Nil.
Still they occupy centre stage in our life. Even while fidgeting with the gadgets invented by scientists we never think of them(scientists); because they contributed only to enhance the self-imposed materiality .Is it not our duty then to get to our natural self? Does mere materialism not defy logic?
just think over
