Again and again in history
Some special people wake up
They have no ground in the crowd
They move to broader laws
They carry strange customs with them
and demand room for bold audacious actions
The future speaks ruthlessly through them
They change the world
A poem by Rainer Maria Rilke, quoted by Mr M S Swaminathan in the preface written to "Samidha"the biography translated in English by Professor Shobha Pawar.
No award is higher than the smile on the face that brings back the confidence and self esteem of a human who is all at Nature's mercy due to the missing love and support of his brethren.To serve is to do your duty,to share is a humans basic ethical principle.Of course when you do your duty their is reciprocal feeling and action.This keeps the human cycle going ...not material returns!!
We are God's creations and so is all that surrounds us in Nature.To care for this surrounding and to make it a pleasing experience for all is man's basic right.Both these(Right & Duty) go hand in hand.All humans are equal in the eyes of God.There is no one dearer or undeserving.To follow this basic is worship of the almighty and not show.Wearing holy clothes???whats that?..Ringing chimes and blaring praise is but show and an act to attract attention to prove your false reverence.To serve HIS creations is worship of the highest order."Work is Worship".Work is doing ''Duty"of serving your own creed as well as all living beings who live along with in
Harmony. To care for nature,it's plants,flowers and fruits...the animals who help us protect the environment.All those who need help...from plants seeds to humans...all have a basic right ...to survive healthily.
When will we keep ourselves from false ego and false need? When will we be with Nature and not slaves to Artificial , materialistic products that lure you from a ''Proper"life. There is always a chance of failing to live up to unnatural support of Living.Man digs his own grave...he makes his own world and then falls prey to it's habit like an addiction and so spends all his life digging his own grave.He never reaches the "paradise" he hopes to ...dreaming with eyes half shut..
Here is a couple who serve those in this present times are deprived of a simple healthy life with food and education.Our own Human creed...our brothers and sisters...not having simple basic means....Lost in the crowd of Humanity...Why are we blind to all this??Have we sold our souls? Do we have no Compassion?What if we were one of them? have we considered in different perspectives? Can't we help them get Justice? How can man just throw away and disregard his/her duty to serve his OWN kind?....Surely the Alive aren't DEAD!!!!! or are we living corpses?
Wake up and value what we have been given..Learn to serve....Not all are as lucky to get a good life like yours.
Make a place for yourself, move away from the ordinary,pick up your special talent and stop being selfish!!
