Can We Live Long?

[Guest guest]

My dear friends and like minded persons,

 

Some one put me a question whether we can live long. My answer was “yes”. The

next immediate question which was put to me carried a lot of curiosity to know,

“how? Will it be possible to live for a hundred years or more? What has to be

done for a long life? and so on” a good number of questions.

 

It was a coincidence, some one in the Forum too asked me as to why I call many

as “Chiranjeevi”. I waited for a right opportunity to answer these questions.

 

San Francisco – situated in California State of USA. As per geographical

conditions, the area is like an island and three sides covered by Pacific Ocean

and with many such islands in a close circle.

 

There are many things to know and learn there, but just day before yesterday, I

stood in front of Golden Gate Bridge. Several thousands of visitors

intentionally visit the bridge. This bridge was simply constructed for the

convenience of the residents of the City, duly supporting the needs of thousands

of residents in other islands. The bridge was planned by an Engineer around

1932 and it was completed by 1939 or so – in a shorter period of just seven

years. The specialty of the bridge is that it has only two pillars and iron

wire was taken from one end to the other end and the load of the entire bridge

is hold by JUST TWO IRON wires from one end to the other.

 

The diameter of the wire is just 37 inches and the wire is a composition of

27000+ small wires and the total length of the wire used is approxly 130000

kilometers in length. The height of the bridge is 700 ft and two pillars are

bearing the entire load of the bridge which is caught by the wire. The depth of

the pillar was just 110 ft in the sea. The length of the bridge is 4600 meters

and at any given point of time it can hold 10800 cars on it, in its six track

road. If wonders are believed to be created by human beings and if I repeatedly

say “Nothing is impossible for a Human Being”, it is really a fact and this

bridge is a valid proof physically. It is really an amazing man made wonder.

How the Engineer could foresee the need of the State and its people of 2006 and

a hundred years later too, way back in 1930s – is an eye opener for all of us.

Do you agree that the Engineer is still living even after his physical non

existence? This is the way people can live long and forever.

 

I prefer addressing most of you as Chiranjeevi with only one reason that each

one of you must live for ever or at least for a good length of time, by virtue

of your good deeds and not by virtue of physical existence. Let us support

ourselves and the LESS FORTUNATE IN THE SOCIETY for a purposeful coexistence.

Our religion should be HUMAN RELIGION.

 

Some time ago when I gave a mail that we shall start an organization with a

motive of up keeping Human Religion – and start with CLEANLINESS. I suggested

for observing every month third Sunday as a CLAENING week. As “Charity Begins

at Home”, I suggested for starting cleaning each individual houses and identify

unused items which are of some help to some one needy in the Society, so that

they can be distributed to them. I also suggested for cleaning the nearby

environment or a small portion of the road or educate children on the subject of

“Cleanliness” with a view that the seed we are planting now, is expected to give

good yield to the Country and Countrymen in the long run. Some one suggested

the name as “Sudhi International” for this voluntary organization which will be

a home for those retired persons who can be of great support with all their

experience and expertise; and those youngsters who can volunteer to brighten the

image of the Country. Though the name is having similarity with some other

organization, but then, the name is a clear indication of the motive of the

organization, I feel that this name would do well.

 

The response to my letter was quite amazing when many children came forward to

work on the lines suggested. This gave me lot of faith and I can only say –

every beginning is always a small one. We do not have to wait for the mass to

gather to give life to this program. EVEN ONE PERSON – JUST ONE VOLUNTEER IS

ALSO JUST SUFFICIENT FOR US, we will go with our motto. Please come forward to

head a locality of your interest for this purpose and when we remain successful

in India, we will also help others and ultimately establish UNIVERSAL

BROTHERHOOD and ONENESS. Clean Atmosphere, Clean Mind, Clean Environment, and

Clean Hearts – are all what are needed for us and we NEED TO COMMIT FOR THE

PURPOSE. The ensuing 20th August is the day when we are commencing “Clean” or

“Sudhi” work on our own and lead the movement.

 

How dare we can say that a country is under developed when God gifted all of us

– all geographical areas, some – something equally unusual richness. Only the

leaders are under developed or self centered thus ultimately leading all of us

in different countries to remain and struggle in the Jaws of “Under

Development”. Any Country’s progress is on the shoulders of its leaders. If the

leaders are clean and committed and if they are physically and mentally

“Developed”, the country ever remain as ‘DEVELOPED’.

 

Instead of blaming the past, let us now onwards work for constructive purposes

and rebuild the future and thereupon LIVE LONG.

 

If we work for “Cleanliness” – of every home; every street; every locality;

every Village; every town; every city; soon we can do something concretely to

our Mother Land and give a good ladder to the next generation while all of us

living long as CHIRANJEEVIS.

 

Jai Hind.
