WHEN WORSHIP CALLS, SERVE

There is a huge difference between work and service. The former so often caters to self-interest while the latter is full of feelings of charity.
Everyone can love one's own ones selfishly but glory unto the one who can love all. Not the superficial show of universal love but love in truth, genuine, sincere love.
It is so easy to side with the high and mighty but he alone is the man of might who can side with the underdog and carry on his crusade for rights and justice.
The world has yet to awake to the threat of nuclear annihilation facing the sub-continent of India. Pakistan should be disarmed to secure the region. You cannot arm an immature kid just because he throws up tantrums for possessing a gun. The world must mature to understand the gravity of the situation. History will not allow the Partition of India to be a settled fact once and for all. Nothing in this phenomenal world is permanent, neither is partition. With the passage of time Pakistan will disintegrate and the fragments, each a part of India for ages, will be re-absorbed in the motherland. Till then let them while away in their brief sojourn outside of home before sanity returns and the birds fly back to nest.
We, of our own volition, choose to take up the labour of life and then quite conveniently forget to comply with its rules. Ought we to complain? Think.
When the poor suffer the daily death of life, we turn a blind eye to it but when the privileged suffer a wee bit, there is such a hue and cry over it. Justice indeed in a perfect world of democracy and freedom!
Where is there a man today in the wide world who can take up the cause of the poor and the powerless in a genuine way with a feeling heart and redress the ills that plague their lives?
Must we be meek and suffer in silence the daily rigour of imposed hardship of man by man or shall we revolve to take charge of our fate and change for good the human condition? Is there a God who dispenses justice as millions believe or is it just another fancy bred in folly, in foolish fantasy of our childhood dreams which must melt before the scorch of labour and life's erosion? Citizens, awake and take up the tools that can reshape your destiny divine for no God lives but the God within which is your Self and none but you can save yourself. So, up to the task of dismantling the lot of this exploitative system that has kept you in servitude for ages, up to the work of shaking off the yoke that has debased you in your own eyes till you have lost faith in your self and move on in this world a beast of burden to be used now, cast off next moment. This must change. So, take up your own cause for your own survival depends on it.
