To make tomorrow a better place to live.”…….

……“There are a few major differences between other

species and the human beings. Human beings or the

homo-sapiens race has established itself as the most

superior race on this earth because of the superiority

of its mental faculties. These capacities grew stage

by stage through innumerable stages of self

experiments conducted by nature on itself. What we

call as nature is the limited manifestation of the

sovereign divine power called Brahma or Ishwara. Thus,

that ultimate power manifested as universe, solar

system, earth etc. Thereafter, it created the living

organisms, birds, animals and ultimately human beings

through different stages of growth in consciousness.

 

All other species have instinctive intelligence but

what human beings exclusively possess is intellect.

This intellectual consciousness of a man is a

combination of his mental faculties like memory,

recall, analytical ability and qualities of heart like

love-hatred, selfishness-self sacrifice,

anger-calmness, intolerance-¬patience etc. The highly

developed human brain computer takes all these factors

into consideration in giving a solution to any

problem. It is again this intellect that has created

the loftiest and greatest systems in the earth -

social, economic, religious, political and spiritual

etc.

 

Man’s intellect has penetrated into the micro world of

elements and the macro dimensions of space. The last

two to three decades have witnessed an “intellectual

explosion” in the world. Movement in space, cloning of

animals, transplantation of human organs, sub-earth

discoveries, micro analysis of elements, wire-less

communication, to mention a few, have revolutionalised

human civilization and given human beings immense

power to control nature, almost bordering on divinity.

 

Commensurately, the pressure on the human brain has

increased tremendously. Newer concepts are entering

into our thinking system making the old concepts

redundant. It is happening so fast that most of us are

finding it difficult to adjust to this rapid

transition whereas it is easy for the new generations

to adjust at a faster pace due to the nascent state of

their mind. The older generations find it to be

heavily at odds with their old concepts and style of

thinking. This obviously is creating a lot of

mal-¬adjustment in individuals with different levels

of sensitivities and also greater mal-¬adjustment in

the social fabric. Such mal-adjustments are getting

reflected in the assertion of selfish individualism

beyond proportions, discord between parents and

off-spring, large numbers of divorce in marital life,

material approach to emotional aspects of life and a

mad race to compete in the material world at the cost

of the finer aspects of life. This has happened in

many civilizations earlier and by the law of

self-contradiction these civilizations lost their

glory. This mal-adjustment between the material and

the emotional world brought the downfall of the mighty

Roman, Indus Valley and many other civilizations.

 

The answer to such confusion does not lie in assertion

of egoism or selfish individualism at the cost of

greater social good but to accept the ways of others,

with their perfections and imperfections. Love is not

acceptance of only the best in the loved one but is

the total acceptance of the entire personality. This

is what Baba preached and practiced at Shirdi. Only He

was capable of bringing the divergent groups of

individuals belonging to different castes, religions,

creeds and different socio economic status under a

single banner - i.e. the banner of humanism. The world

needs to follow this concept today, to make tomorrow a

better place to live.”…….
