| Every
generation underwent and endured it. The conflict between physical being
and inner being, though eternal, appears more pronounced now then ever.
Acquiring wealth and the perks that go with it appears to be the only aim
in life. This has lead to constant conflict of mind and the body. Money
is very important but how much of it should be accrued is the problem. A
person who strived all his life to reach the top found later that there
was no such thing as top. Moreover, it was unbearably lonely. Money is necessary
for fulfilment of basic needs but unless desires are restrained and means
to earn money is justified, the purpose of accruing wealth is defeated.
Wise forefathers, after constant observation, called it Dharma. With every
action of ours having direct and indirect effect on others, a code of conduct
to strictly adhere is mandatory. Development in this world should be constant,
natural and gradual. Like a seed after several stages becomes a tree that
can produce seeds again, the growth should be constant, gradual and without
conflict. |
