IS MAN REALLY CIVILIZED?


In spite of calling himself a civilized being, Man is behaving like the one uncivilized! It is sad that he has not conquered himself while he has everything in his control! Rank materialism is eating him away! He has become a Mammon worshiperand does not hesitate to do anything for Money! In short he is drowned in this cycle of Samsara with all its vicissitudes and never ending births and deaths! Is there any relief for Man from this? yes, it is there! The direction of Man towards his selfish worldly wise desires, activities has to change! He should think about the soul embedded in his bodyand try to realize that! He should have faith in God who will never fail him! If he steadies his direction towards GOD there will be much good for him! Like the ship that moves to the north of the magnetic needle,and reaches its destination safely, Man's destination should be God!! Says William Wordsworth , the Nature poet, " Like trailing clouds of Glory do we come from God who is our Home" The karmas we have accumulated from countless births can never end and we continue to involve ourselves in many other karmas as we live! It is God's grace that can erase our past karmas and give us salvation!! Devotion to God and total surrender to His Divine Will will save you from all disasters! Classical examples in our puranas and even in modern days have demonstrated this! Stories of child Dhruva, Prahlada,  the Azwars, Nayanmars, and the Bhaktas of Maharashtra are examples of how god came to their rescue in times of dire need!  God never fails his staunch Devotees! It is always better to depend upon GOD rather than Man!!"
