In an animating and bountiful display of
divine architecture, God put together an entire universe,
all in one piece and that too out of nothingness. No measurements were taken,
no adhesive used either; He fixed the massive stars and planets all in one go, at
locations which remain unexplored by man even to this day. The basic elements
which went in to piece together an infinite universe comprising all forms of
life were eternal love, divine truth, omniscience and omnipotence.
Incidentally, the creation of universe by the Almighty was preceded by God
chastising the devils for their act of rebellion against divine will. Through this one act of creation the Almighty
established a dividing line which separated divinity from humanity, infinite
from finite and spirit from matter. And
man, as the ruler of the universe, was positioned at one edge of the finite
world while the other extreme came to be occupied by Satan led by Lucifer and
his bad angels.
The only barrier that separated one from
the other was death in the case of human beings and eternal damnation for the
devils. However, neither had the liberty
to stray in to the domain of the other without the explicit nod of the
Almighty.
It may be worth recalling that God
created angels in His own mystical image thereby ordaining them to exist with
all splendour, radiance and resplendence in the company of other angelic
spirits much like God Himself. After
many millions of divine years, God decided to create the universe and all
creatures with it. This done, He gave charge of the universe to his supreme
creation namely man. The bad angels
under Lucifer could not withstand the Almighty lavishing love sublime on human
beings ranked below them. A section of
such angels rebelled against God which act of theirs attracted the wrath of
Almighty who ordered His archangels to banish them out of the celestial bliss
in to a state of deprivation in hell.
Relegated to a nadir of abysmal
existence and having forefeited their right to exist either as part of an
infinite realm or in a finite world with human beings as company, and having
been made an outcast, detested by all, deprived of a graceful existence, and above
all having lost the grace and favour of God Almighty Himself, Satan has had to
resign himself to his eternal fate and languish for ever in hell in solitude
and damnation. Satan in his attempt to
obviate his antipathy towards human beings contemplated a plot to avenge the
drubbing and humiliation received at the hands of Almighty by successfully
driving a wedge between man vis-à-vis his creator, the Almighty and Everlasting
God.
Incidentally, Satan deemed it an
ignominous scourge to exist within the periphery of infinity under abject
deprivation. Forelorn and despondent, having been denied access to human world
and pushed to leading a life as evil spirits within the narrow confines of
eternal doom, he made good his plan of floating unproductive and hazardous
elements in to the world, with an eye to wean away as many of the human beings
in to his domain, namely hell. To this end he put in his all, by toiling day in
and day out so as to make man his fodder and the world an eyesore to his own
creator.
Hard-work,
devotion, dedication, patience, spirit of denial, sacrifice and to top them all
perseverance. Virtues in abundance! You
name them. He has them all – the Devil!
If there
is any single trait that we ought to learn from the devil, it is perseverance.
As a matter of fact, perseverance is an attribute the devil is so possessive
about and would not dare part with even grudgingly for a no-return. He has been
on the job for millions of years, industriously straining his lacerated
physique, toiling hard in the hope of weaning away as many humans into his
abstract world of despair and devastation. A ghost of an enigma and an outcast
of divine wrath, devil can never abide by the dictum of God
or His angels. He observes no law; obtains no justice. Like a live and pale
shadow, he goes about his chores profusely pining for the lost bliss of
celestial serenity. Having squandered away his divine gift, he has been
destined to survive in isolation away from the bliss of divinity and God! And
the greatest slight he has had to bear was creation of the universe and man
followed by his redemption.
Satan
has been on the prowl ever since the beginning of creation. Being barred by God Almighty from making
direct contact with human beings, which act could spell disastrous for the weak
creatures namely man, a malignant Satan indulged in proxy war directly on human
beings but indirectly on God. He did this by floating pernicious instincts that
could rent apart the honour and dignity of human beings and by infesting the
universe with a spell of pointed discord, malaise, destruction, devastation,
melancholy and death upon man in a manner that could leave the humans vexed
with a life of indignity and dishonour.
We live in a universe that was wholly
and graciously gifted to man by God Himself through an act of
predilection. However, the host who
caters to man is the devil himself who has the entire universe hijacked for his
amusement, in a manner that the universe might appear lacerated and famished as
Satan is. There is therefore, no wonder that life provides a lot of disconnect
among human beings which are but an outcome of misperceptions,
misunderstandings or misprojections by people and nations who deem it their
exclusive right to abide by each one’s temperament. Incidentally, the emerging trend among human
beings is indicative of a colossal departure from the strategic design and
divine will originally outlined by God for man and the universe.
Strategic meddling and rampant
maneuvering in core aspects of creation as also in the overall activities of
man by Satan, by and large disturbed the rhythem with which life first
started. Moreover, the devil wasted no
time in twisting man made laws and faking judgements to suit his sinister
designs in order to pit one against the other.
An avalanche of divided perceptions lashed the citadel and the
fortifications of man’s inner trust and mutual harmony, all of which took a beating
at the dexterous manipulations by Satan.
Even the huge strides made in the field of Science and Technology did
not stand up to the quantum expectations of a civilized world. In his effort to
augument the prospects of a pompous life, man started eyeing to attain
excellence. Excel he did, but his inferior instinct gave the game away.
As is bound to happen, when shine starts
enveloping the universe, the darker elements take advantage of the sparkle. An arrogant man found himself groping through
a vicious circle of his own make in an attempt to buy himself peace and
tranquility, which was not to be. For by
the time comfort and luxury of his choice showed up, life had altogether become
a haphazard trap wherein man’s interaction with other human beings drew flak,
as a result of which he only met with stumbling block at every cross road. He
was unable to proceed with errands without doling out largesse in his manners,
approach and attitude with people in order to keep them in good humour for
having his way. Incidentally, man
strayed far too much in to a realm of peevishness; thanks to an imp playing his
part exceedingly well to the detriment of man and the universe.
In this context, it needs to be
emphasized that the goodness of God is infinite. The onus for all the perils and hazards
including the curse of destruction, devastation and death falls squarely on the
one only adversary of God namely Satan, who deliberately played false with the
fate of man and pinned him down to such a state of helplessness. God as the supreme Good can only vouchsafe to
protect the free will endowed on Satan and his entire creation including man.
Satan has been untiringly sawing the seed of pain, suffering, discomfiture,
discord, death, and likewise inflicting heavy casualties on human beings
through natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, volcanos, tsunamis or other
perils and even displacing the good due to man by delaying the sequence of
peace, happiness and prosperity.
When Satan engages a proxy to play host
to guests (read human beings) who have been gifted with the entire universe by
Almighty Himself, man has every right to assert his prowess to overcome the
hazards so placed by Satan. Whatever
situation the world may be in as of today, is on account of man’s mistrust of
his creator or on account of his towing a different line. This needs amendment. As of today, the world is a divided lot with
one side wholly and flourishingly following the diktat of Satan. On the other
hand there is hardly a handful of faithful ones following the precepts of the
supreme Creator. Obviously a tussle
would always exist between the two in the form of competition or prod. What may
then emerge would be grotesquely a blurred picture of misunderstanding by some,
high handedness by few and a host of evil instincts let loose by Satan creating
havoc for the just ones. A finite man
loses count on all aspects but God does not.
When a close relative of his passes away man appears overcome with
grief, whereas when someone else far away falls victim to another’s
misadventure, he merely looks on with casual approach. There is need for introspection. There is
need to open up to a universal conduct, a universal approach and a universal
attitude.
Man was created by God out of love and
predilection that he might bear testimony for the infinite love bestowed on him
through His eternal and divine truth manifested in His omniscience and
omnipotence. Being the only heir to an infinite creation, man is greatly
indebted to and owes total allegiance to God only. As such, his primary
objective ought to be to strive towards greater glory of God which can best be
achieved through a life adorned with human attributes namely ‘Ethics,
Manners
& Etiquette’.
Survival is vital for existence for it
is the flavour of life, a flavour which lingers on till you fade away from the
world; in like manner flavour or survival demands dignity, which being the
cream adorning one’s life and which caters to one’s ambitions and aspirations.
With cream and the flavour in hand, one only needs to give shape to the
material aspect which makes the difference viz. the goal one sets for
oneself. The voyage you are on should
not be anchored until you attain a wholesome success, a renowned fame and an
envious reputation which should shape your destiny and provide the needed
impetus to the onward thrust, add dimension to your thrill and confer on you a
cause for celebrations. So destine your
future with élan, bestride an elegant world of sophistication, profess a broad
outlook, lead a circle of your closest friends with dynamism and allow your
future to smile on you to the delight of your near and dear ones with a new
episode titled “Ethics,
Manners
& Etiquette
– Leaf – 2”.
A
unique concept styled ‘Ethics, Manners & Etiquette’, minutely framed to
broadly include all the required features intended to give one and all a
direction on how to go about their journey to fame, reputation and success and
savour the glory of a carefree life is submitted herein for the benefit of
everyone. Every attempt has been made to
include all categories of people in to paving the way for a pleasant and
peaceful destiny. Special care has also
been taken to bring about an environment for coexistence of all sections of
people from every walk of life and people from all disciplines, irrespective of
category, profession or standing in the society, to enable advance with a
secured identity of their own. With the
world progressing at a fast pace and the demand for absorbing knowledge,
experience and competence far exceeding the schedule and timeframe as
determined for each, the elite who would stand to succed in life would have to
minimize inordinate delays in tackling certain areas of expression and
articulation. It is of paramount importance that we keep in mind the
effectiveness of clear-cut expression, communication and articulation.
One
should also bear in mind the time-frame by which one needs to devise ways and
means of skipping unnecessary and time consuming work out so as to keep abreast
of the challenge being faced by the present day generation, which far exceeds
one’s capacity, capability and speed.
Seeing the need for people to cover extensive stretches of ground before
arriving at a plausible distance of one’s goal, attempt has also been made to
give a boost to a virtuous life far surpassing the normal stretch of mediocrity
and lack of professionalism. With the
standards having fallen far below the affordable levels, and which would
necessarily warrant an increased and enhanced foresight by both young and old
in attaining one’s goal, and for providing a cosmopolitan approach to people
and their lives, every minutest of details have been taken care of so that a
Chapter for the reform of life and attitude of people may reach every section
of people so as to benefit equally one and all.
The
overall features have been meticulously framed and a pattern adopted with
rigorous exercise keeping the need of time and generation. It is important to remember that progress in
life demands novelty in approach, positive interaction with people and ability
to communicate with people with grace. Any let up in projecting oneself with
ease could result in decline in one’s image which can psychologically affect
the momentum, the focus and resultantly tardy the progress. ‘Ethics, Manners
& Etiquette’ attempts to formulate this exercise whereby people with
determination and skill may not lag behind in attaining the pinnacle of glory
to the advantage of themselves, the society, the nation and the world. The purpose and aim in defining the theme for
success of all is to place everyone within the parameters of a vocation for
achieving recognition so that the entire exercise would tantamount to a
life-long experience that would necessarily come to stay for the betterment of
people who matter in a society.
The moment you step out on to the road, be sure, you
are being watched by hundreds of people from different walks of life. These may
constitute businessmen, professionals, educated, uneducated, powerful,
influential, prominent or high-ranking and besides of course, your neighbors,
acquaintances and the list goes on to level up to the present day
population. However, it is up to you to
convert people’s looks or advances in to a line up for your friendship. And
what would you make of this line up, an archive? Friends make up your
day-to-day strength to surmount problems in life. Be sure, your attitude test
starts the moment you are on the road to achieving a goal.
Life does not provide a magic for
attaining position, authority or for fulfillment of one’s dreams. Likewise, a path to recognition, an
achievement, fame, success, reputation etc. has to be traced through tireless
efforts combined with determination and skill.
An accomplishment of any of the aforesaid glory, when achieved by way of
a virtuous life, dedication and competency will alone add milestones to your
lingering reputation and herald an era of joy and fulfillment. Such a disposition alone would positively
make an impact on your life and a supreme acknowledgement of your achievement endorsed
by those who would later on flock to you for guidance. People who feel inclined to taking up such
challenge, ought to brace themselves up for any eventuality mindful of the fact
that nothing comes free in life and mediocrity and half-heartedness would serve
no purpose till you achieve the goal set out for yourself. Your adversaries would strike when and where
you least suspect. Ostensibly the
unscrupulous or wayward elements may even attempt to drift you off the mark.
And the extraordinarily gutsy elements might even attempt a cakewalk or a free
ride over your self-respect and good demeanour.
Be not dismayed nor should you lose heart, for even as you renew your
efforts to gain control of yourself, the necessary windfall boost will come
your way for “the reward for hard work and a dedicated effort is always decided
by the giver of life, the creator”. You
only need to accomplish your part i.e. the endorsement of God’s will and the
world is yours!
In our dealings it is vital that we be
prepared to face people of diverse nature and category be it in age, education,
culture, view or social standing. Even so, it is of paramount importance to be
on extra alert always while maneuvering to achieve our errand or submitting a
view at the disposal of others or even at soliciting an advice or opinion. Remember, on most occasions your activities
would be suspect in the eye of shadowy elements or proxies who may or may not
have your good in mind and hence vulnerable to attempts of sabotage by shrewed
and dastardly elements lying in wait for people on fastrack. Never lose sight of your goal, for you are
there not to reverse a process or to distance your destination, much less to
sideline your means to achieve the end. Remember, your end is your success and
means your attitude. If you persevere in your focused approach, you stand
chances of enhancing the prospects of a glorious end through “Ethics, Manners
& Etiquette”.
Our elders aver that “idleness is the
mirror of the devil”. In the same breath
they also caution us that “excessive speed gets one nowhere” (Chinese
proverb). In order to tread on a safer
alley to avoid tripping over inadvertently we need to adopt a focused approach,
lest the enemies catch us unawares and consequently our progress get hindered.
Maya Angelou is on record with her “I find
it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to
God’s will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard
and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of
responsibility at a commensurate speed”.
A caution, therefore, for those aspiring
to attain their goals is to remind oneself time and again that their activities
are always under the scanner of the evil elements and an occupied mind is as
much prone to devil’s agents. Once you decide
to plunge in to the arena of competitiveness, you would have to get accustomed
to tremors from the devil’s proxies who would not sit idle till you fail
them. You would be playing a battle of
wits. Things could drag you to embarrassing moments. However, such adversities are bound to prop
up time and again for the devil knows well that the proxies engaged by him
would never reach the final destination but are bound to fall back somewhere in
the race. Beware of the prod by the
devil. Utilize your weapon namely
patience, fortitude, forbearance and valour.
He who rides rough shod over your integrity would get weakened with the
passage of time. Take an earthly assurance that those who battle your integrity
today, belittle your esteem, make light of your self-respect and those who do
not heed your courteous gestures and moves would one day stand in awe at the
sparkling image you would radiate even as the pursuit of your goal would reach
near fulfillment. They would then hang
their heads in shame at the folly of having played foul throughout.
As for a solemn assurance, you have the
convincing words under a divine assurance from our Lord Jesus Christ Himself
who said “I am the way, the truth and the life” when he emphatically taught
that -
Mathew 5:10-11
Blessed are those who are persecuted for
righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people revile you and
persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great
in heaven.
People who wish to advance in life; they
would have to be on their toes keeping humour and cheap talks at bay. Be of a
focused mind as well as maintain a focused approach with determination that can
surpass falling prey to attempts by people with inferior instinct at demeaning
your self respect. The unruly and
treacherous elements could exploit your attitude to the hilt. Always remember,
you are there in your interest and your interest is your goal, to be achieved
at all costs. Dare them, and the evil shall vanish at Godspeed!
However, in order to achieve a vertical
climb, in order to attain the glory of fame, honour and reputation, one
requires a soul mate – to be precise a friend.
A friend who would qualify to be one when you grope about for solace of
trust, one who would have the sanctity within capable of linking the finite
with infinite, a friend who would have an image of your reflection, image like
yourself which would satisfy your craving for perfection, human perfection –
him you might term a friend. A friend
who would remind you of yesterday, satisfy your today. And above all a friend
who would assure you of a tomorrow. Such a friend would have the potential to
not only boost your image but even to add a chain of like friends to your
following and even multiply the number to form a circle that would allow you a
free interaction as also enhance your prominence, your prestige and your
prospects.
When you need a favour, be it material
or even if it be of a spiritual nature, of all the neighbors around, you sure
can count on your friend to deliver and he alone will do so diligently. A time tested mutual friend would always have
your interest in equal measure as his. A
friend would be a friend in life, a friend in adversity and a friend till
infinity who would have no qualms about making sacrifices to any extent for a
friend who can buy our trust even to death.
Chieri is a tiny hamlet
on the outskirts of Turin in Italy . It was a quiet evening on the night between 3
and 4 April, 1837. John Bosco, now Saint Don
Bosco (1815 - 1888) was seated by his study table, engrossed in reading and
recollection. Alongside the study was a dormitory with nearly twenty
seminarians of his age, preparing for a night’s rest.
All at once a thunderous eruption rent
the air. Strong winds lashed at the latched doors and windows flinging them
wide open. There was rattling sound all around. The impact was beyond
comprehension and the magnitude beyond human confabulations. The entire
apartment shook below the feet or so it appeared. An earth quake of such
magnitude could be understandable, but a heavens quake was never desirable,
especially at a time when the young seminarians were retiring for a night’s
rest after a hectic day’s schedule. The roaring winds deafened the curious
minds in to exchanging bewildered looks all around as also at each other unable
to gasp for breath at such astonishing developments that confused their minds.
In short, it was a night portending unforeseen disasters. Then as though from nowhere in the vicinity,
a tender glow of celestial light wafted over an otherwise hilarious heaven. All
eyes were fixed on to the gush of light steaming out of thickened heavens. As
light spread out with swirling intensity, a soothing melody followed by a mild
tune chimed out of the flooded lights, generating bliss like radiance all
around. As the humming of music died down in streaks, a soft voice echoed out
of nowhere. “Bosco,
my friend – I am saved”. The voice echoed away in to distant night and the
music retreated in to timeless memory. The serenity of the night returned while
the nearly two dozen youngsters sat clustered around each other unable to
fathom what the mirage was all about. The entire episode brought about a thrill
of horror in to the advancing night.
However, for Don Bosco it was a unique event which rendered his
conviction a consummation. He recognized
the voice as that of Luigi Comollo, an intimate friend and colleague who pursued his studies in the Seminary where he passed
away on April 2, 1837.
Luigi
Comollo and Don Bosco had casually entered in to a pact that whosoever
passed away first would return to convey to the other where and in what state
he was. Born on April 7, 1817 in Pra, Cinzano , Italy ,
Comollo pursued his studies in the Seminary where he passed away on April 2,
1837. Within two days of his passing away Comollo hastened back to earth to
fulfil the promise made by him to Don Bosco, his most trusted friend.
St. Don Bosco on various occasions referred to the
episode narrated above. However, on all occasions he cautioned his students and
colleagues to refrain from making such a pact since it was fraught with
dangerous consequences for the very reason that the two realms of humanity and
divinity are poles apart from one another and any attempt to bring them
together could jeopardize the equilibrium of the lesser denomination viz. human
nature or the universe. Nonetheless, the
readers would do well to carry away a great lesson Don Bosco himself wanted to
teach others viz. the totality of selfless love for a neighbour which we in
human terms call ‘friend’. It would have
been nearest to impossible for a person to return to a finite realm of human
existence after having left the world whereby the soul of a person had parted
from the human body. By coincidence,
there is reason to believe that this may perhaps have been one unique instance
of a pact arrived at between friends and a logical fulfilment of pact under
peculiar circumstances despite tremendous odds to the contrary.
Much stands debated though, but man’s attempt to piece
out an exact or closest definition or identity of friend have always made him
rely on the one only inspired Holy Book, the Bible. Who is a friend?
Friendship
accords us a plank. Friendship provides us with an opportunity to theme our
lives. Friendship shapes an occasion to
repose our trust in someone who would match our image and likeness, of the
resemblance that God made man. Much of what we profess, much of what we learn
and all of what we own, we owe it to a friend or friends, young or old,
inferior or superior, opponent or well wisher.
Only a negligible percentage of the knowledge we possess is the outcome
of our own hardwork. Friendship provides us with an exercise that moulds our
thoughts, our deeds, our experience, our years, our lives but above all our own
attitude.
Fame, success and reputation can only
stem from a well founded base embedded in knowledge, virtues and
congeniality. Ethics is an exercise in
this direction. Much of the resistance
we encounter in practical life arises out of our rigidness born out of
arrogance or ignorance. But if we
succeed in bending our perspectives uniformly with a mellowed voice, an
appealing tone, a pitch with a rhythem that can chime in to the ears of others,
an entreat, a request with regret for intrusion, then there are chances of a
success in mollifying an adversary or breaking the freeze in people’s attitude.
“Ethics,
Manners & Etiquette” are traits which render man a specie apart from
all other creatures roaming the earth or hovering the skies. Although the three characteristics namely “Ethics,
Manners & Etiquette” merely complement each other, yet what goes a
long way in moulding one in to an upright man in the eye of the society, as
also the one single aspect which prominently distinguishes a person as
extraordinary from the other human beings is Ethics. Ethics forms an integral part of any
dignified living while the remaining two namely Manners & Etiquette merely
feature as compliments to the former for purposes of decency and decorum in
life.
Having arrived at the threshold of
Ethics, it is important to point out how for trifles we are in the forefront,
eager to demean others, to strip people of their dignity without the least
respect & reverence for what they are or for what they merit or for what
they command. In our eagerness to promote our ‘ego’, we push people in to pits
of despair and devastation, not even allowing them to make amends for slight
and finite errors. Attitude demands a greater degree of tolerance, which we all
lack. “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette”
covers much for bringing about herculean change within such capricious people
who make no bone of their attempts to browbeat people who deserve utmost
respect.
Ethics is an esthetic art which enables
one to sense, evaluate, judge, concur or act morally, justly and accurately
with a positive frame of mind as also in a disciplined manner on issues of
common interest relating to spirituality and human life. Incidentally, Ethics relates to acts of
perceiving, deliberating upon, deciding or acting on any aspect of divine or
human life within the frame-work of morality and virtuousness. Although the
term ‘Ethics’ is commonly referred to philosophically as the art of deciding
the right and wrong side of life and resultant activities but in real life it
encompasses a wider perspective having a larger meaning to supplement one’s
ability and to infallibly deal with all
aspects concerning life.
How ethics came to be born? After many
million years of existence in solitude, God descended over the universe of
infinite time and eternal matter. For a
moment the essence of time, infinity and eternity came to a standstill and the
clock of creation started ticking for man.
It was at this juncture that God created a positive concept called man.
He did this in His own image and likeness.
He then infused in to him a soul which portrayed the grace and radiance
of divine presence within his human physique that constituted man in his prime
stage of creation. This way man came to
exist. However, after man’s fall from
grace due to treacherous connivance by Satan, man imbibed certain
idiosyncrasies wholly and exclusively owned by the devil whereby the body of
man got contaminated in to a naked waste with ruined countenance prone to decay
and destruction. The curse of Satan got
the better of man and man lost the grace, favour and right to evoke the grace
of the Almighty. Ethics was born the day
our first parents disobeyed God. The structure of man’s composition
changed to mere flesh and blood ultimately destined to end at the instance of
devil’s spitefulness. A man who, through
no fault of his, was drained of his graceful and sublime senses, made to part
with the gracious instinct endowed by God and made to fall through unfathomable
depths of meanest instincts imbibed from the devil himself. That same man is
now destined to rise in pursuit of a goal, fame, success and reputation through
a novel standard envisaged as the one only path to ascending the pinnacle of
glory and which is now brought to you under a new episode titled “Ethics,
Manners
& Etiquette
– Leaf – 2”.
Ethics is all about moral values,
positive psyche, conscious assessment, dignified approach, broadened outlook
and a host of other virtuous connotations, all comprehensively envisioned and
effectively positioned with conviction and grace. Dignity of every person grows with reason and
realization, much the way he advances in age and wisdom. The root element and the depth of dignity lies
in age, reason and realization as also the manner in which a person conducts
himself, the maturity he reveals within and the equilibrium he projects with
utmost ease. A well founded base
possessing advantages like knowledge, virtue and good demeanour can stimulate a
person to ascend to heights of fame, success and reputation with ease.
Ethics is a unique apparatus capable of
monitoring human instinct, human senses and negativity in life. Human nature is
prone to insinuation by way of circumstance, temptation, prod, nag, goad and
similar antagonizing attempts to divert one’s goal, attention or focus. Be you
of steady mind and never allow such negativity to gnaw in to key areas where
you need to focus your thrust or where you have achieved partial or full
success, for it is never easy to recover a lost ground. However, valiant people will bypass all such temptations
and forge ahead with determination and thrust.
Maintain your mental equilibrium and all adversity will fade away with
the passing of time.
“Ethics,
Manners & Ettiquette”,
if linked to practical life, the very chances of survival of law and the courts
would appear bleak. Remember, in your pursuit of your goal of your choice,
every aspect of life would be on your side including state, law and
administration because you hold the flame of ‘honesty, simplicity and truth’ of
the like of ‘silence, simplicity and steadfastness of resolve’, under your
banner “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette”.
And what
is a law that has done precious little to make man conscious of his duties and
responsibilities towards society? What after all is a judgment that needs years
to arrive at a manipulated truth? Seeing the time lag between the first motion
and the final judgment, it can safely be inferred that considerable
manipulations have taken place with the passage of time vis-à-vis the incident,
the place of occurrence and the circumstances of a crime. Moreover, a judgment
too is passed based on deliberations by Counsels, where even the judge would
never have steered out of his seat to arrive at a just judgement or to hasten a
process of justice. In a nutshell, a ridiculous instance of delivering a wrong
judgement!
Incidentally,
man has become a mere spectator and at best a casualty under the vigilant eye
of law and justice, allowing innocents or those without criminal bent of mind
to become one or to languish in jails or at best silently bear the ignominious
pain of death and devastation under fabricated laws and judgments.
Devil is
aware that the only power on earth capable of resurrecting, restructuring or
renovating and rebuilding the creation back to its original shape prior to the
first sin, is God Himself who alone can dispense justice to humans.
Be focused for your destination is nigh.
You cannot change your features, but the attitude you can, at nobody’s expense.
With the universe galloping towards an unknown destination, with its original
features disfigured having encountered a perilous journey through millions of
years in succession, the only trust you can repose is in yourself, your
attitude, your good demeanour to arrive safely at your projected destination.
In order to counter the evil that you might come by at appropriate intervals
there is only one solution to rely on, namely “Ethics, Manners &
Etiquette”.
Your magic is in your own hands and if
you have the courage to hold aloft the trinity flame of “Ethics, Manners &
Etiquette”, then fame, success and reputation will be yours to reach out for.
The magic has to be evolved by you and this can best be achieved through a
process of everlasting consequence. Hence await the next episode of ‘Ethics,
Manners & Etiquette”.
