THEY FALTER, THEY FUMBLE, THEY FALL BUT THEY FAIL NOT TO RISE AND RUN AGAIN

THEY FALTER, THEY FUMBLE, THEY FALL BUT THEY FAIL NOT TO RISE AND RUN AGAIN

Children falter but learn to run eventually. So also masses of faltering humanity. Why condemn? Love and grease the path free of the unseemly obstacles that lie hindering the forward progression. The tide of civilisation must ride its run through the thick and thin of the terrain. Work at reducing the burden, making the path smoother for the pilgrims who traverse through the dark night of ignorance to the dewy dawn of the awakening sun. Errors are in course, not sin as Abrahamic scripturally suggested. Learn to see the true face of things through the forbearing eye of wisdom and love fused. These are temporary phases in the onward march of the Grande Armee. They are not to be deemed terminal movements. The middle phase we are in and the middle phase refines and shifts but does not thereby become the climactic phase of collective evolution. The end is far off for the general mass of humanity, the perfected individual merely running ahead of course to bring in the news of the sunlit summit as yet unscaled by the vast populace. 

Love, patience, forbearance and sympathy coupled with the light of knowledge will ensure the survival of our civilisation. It is in the interest of humanity that the Sanatan Dharma should survive. For that to happen, Hindus need to survive, for they are the carriers of the golden tradition of yhe Upanishads that in a thousand streams now flow from its Himalayan habitat onto the fertile plains where living humanity farms the fields and reaps the harvest of life.
