WHERE INNOCENCE BEATS TIME AND SIMPLICITY TOUCHES THE SOUL YET
When I see ordinary people without any religious pretensions advance in spiritual innocence, I feel that God is just and the Law of Karma holds good. Of such a harvest of simple souls shall be raised the edifice of the future civilisation where men shall help each other in this unequal battle for freedom and not hinder with barbaric theories and their practice.
May the voice of freedom spring from the depths of the soul and not from the crooked intellect that divides to breathe death into the lives of masses of innocence and makes love a vanishing attribute ! May simplicity be the new gospel of emerging humanity as it struggles through the labyrinth of time and makes its way overcoming a million hurdles !
What the poet has sounded from his Abode of Peace, may I resound and address the best elements in man to thwart the designs of past narrowness, practices that may have had a meaning in past circumstance but have outlived their hour in altered conditions ! May the simple things of life be once more stressed upon -- truth, beauty, goodness and all their delightful derivatives ! May life be held sacred, love venerated as divine and peace the benediction that flows from the inner recesses of the simple heart that has surrendered itself to the mainspring of all that is beautiful !
Om ! Shanti ! Shanti ! Shanti !
