Guest guest Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Swami! Have people come closer to God in this modern world? The modern world is completely superficial and artificial. Outwardly, all say `hello', `hello' to each other. Everyone says `thanks' for every small thing. This is all mechanical, routine courtesy, and those words don't mean anything. You find utter selfishness everywhere. Modern science has enabled man to land on the moon. But, man has forgotten to step into his neighbour's house. Yes, he can reach chandra, the moon, but can't see Ramachandra in his heart. Modern man can swim in water like a fish, and fly like a bird, but can't walk a mile with his two legs on the ground. With his physical eye, which is not even two inches in size, he is able to see a galaxy several thousand miles away from him, but he is not able to see himself. The eye and the ear are so near but they don't see each other! Do they? God reclines on the ks i rasagara , `ocean of milk' located in your Heart, but today we find that the `Heart' has become ks arasagara, `ocean of poison'. How do you expect him to realise Divinity? Even after having become a very rich country, France, lost the great war. Why? It was because of her reckless youngsters and the vices of the day. This trend is increasing today among people. Man is living and working for the fulfilment of his as'alu, lowly desires, but he should live for as'ayalu, ideals. People with high ideals alone can come closer to one another spiritually.
