Among the advertisements we read everyday are those which say - 'Learn yoga in 10 days', 'Meditation classes' as well as notices for lectures on meaningful life. Training is imparted as in professional job oriented courses. It is amazing to know that people are attending classes with exhorbitant fees to learn activities that are at the core of natural development of human mind and body and I think which should be imbibed from childhood itself! This indicates that there is need for traditional patterns of life and education, where the discipline of body and mind and true values of life were given first priority. But in the competitive world of today, textual and career-based knowledge is given preference. Dont you think that in the mad race of monetary rewards, comforts and luxuries which have no boundaries we have forgotten the true goal of human life.
People crave for money more than their requirements, the negative effect of which lead to frustration and then to stress! Recently on one of the news channel I have seen how our values are deteriorated so much that the criminal gangs boast of receiving resumes from youngsters desirous of joining their outfits. It is frightening to see the extent to which we are being driven by our desires. Undoubtly money is required or survival but one must be aware to where one's priorities lie and to live within one's means. The world has enough to meet the basic needs of all human beings but there is not enough to satisfy their greed! Its the time to remind them Your property will remain when you die, but only your good and bad actions which you have done during your lifetime will accompany you. The worst of all is to see when people often cite children as a reason for accumulating wealth. Here i remember what Rita Bruce coated in Parenting - "Your children are not your children, they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they not belong to you."Then why crave for such pity desires, wouldn't it be far more sensible to engage ourself in good actions?
