The
journey of civilization had its beginning in the Old Stone Age and
going towards space odyssey. In the mad pursuit of name, prestige,
money and lust for power, man has become restless, making life a
never-ending struggle. We have come to a stage to view that life
is an endless race for achieving things but we are unable to justify
the race. The moment one wakes up in the morning, one is occupied
with the thoughts of home, family, children, employment, business
and so on. Man's life has become a mechanical entity-cheerless and
restless.
While the poor man aims at earning some money, the rich are greedy
of acquiring more and more wealth. This leads to unending desires
and tensions creep in, ultimately turning life into a stress-filled,
monotonous journey. One must realize that continual craving for
carnal pleasures will end up one's life in utter misery. It is like
chasing a mirage of joy in the desert of life. The secret of stress-free
joy of living lies in the meditation on God. We must get out of
the hustle and bustle of daily life to steal a few moments for contemplation
of God. Of what use our lives are, if we do not pay heed to the
word of Baba and meditate on His Form? Let us pray to Baba to free
our minds from the vice-like grip of tensions and stresses to enable
us to leap into His Lap of Love and Peace.
