UNITY IN ACTION

Identity of a person reveals his or her nature and behaviour, testified through action which culminate into an agreeable relationship with the neighbours. True recognition of the importance of a person, whom we contact in life, reveals the "TRUE MAN". Equality in the physical build up of human being does not equate the qualities inherent in man! GOD has created Man & Women with talents of different types, all put together contributing towards the fulfillment of the common goal to maintain a balanced life of each individual. The society if taken as one Body, then we are all different limbs of that body with different functions to perform to keep the Body  healthy and Strong.

Like Poles, Repel & Unlike Poles, Attract each other, a phenomenon of Science, holds good for human relationship also. Persons of equal Status may have to demagnetise their attitude towards fellow beings, duly changing the Polarity to attract others to our side thereby bringing the desired result. Therefore our outlook on life with a feeling that "those who Run and those who Watch Running" are equal befoore GOD, will help us to reshape the distorted relations between person/party/religion in our society

EGOISTIC FEELINGS

Self respect and Selfishness are different qualities altogether. One who respects himself only can respect others. Self respect identifies the Individual and makes him/her,free of egoistic feelings and enables the individual to see in others, the very nature of him / her, as if through a looking glass. The extrovert tendencies take shape in his/ her consitution and the vision attains a level of sublimity. This status of oneness will drain out the sense of selfishness which erodes the mind and body of any individual.

Association with men & women of righteous nature will always boost up our desire to be self controlled in thought and action and also useful to the society at large. Religious life does not mean that one will only be engaged in Spiritual activities, but he/she will apply their spiritual thoughts in practical use , relating the same with their neighbours,who need assitance in the day to day life. The attitude of the good SAMARITAN is the need of the hour. Theory and practice of religious culture should go hand in hand in our daily routine. Then only we will see a ray of hope in the common man in realising GOD's loving Kundness transmitted to them through others in the neighbourhood.

CONCERN FOR OTHERS

Personal comforts and well being are always the concern in the life style we maintain. As a social being one has to tone up the individual traits to fall in line with that of others wothout losing sight of own identity. Interaction with people whom we come across daily will always give us opportunities to correct our mind-set to tide over the problems in personal relationship. The spirit of reconciliation with involement and commitment to the tasks assigned will fulfill the desires of those  who associate with us in the pursuit of successful career.

The life on this Earth is a continuous process where everybody plays his/her role in the appropriate time and disappears at the close of the scene after handing over the next part to the person who takes over the STAGE. The concern of each participant on this stage performance, is to maintain the continuity of the chain of acts, during the period of stay on the ARENA. All through this struggle men and women have to mutually support each other,  and" wind up" their journey on the final WHISTLE.

ONE IN BODY AND SPIRIT

Terrorism is an act of Evil and has to be condemned by one and all, irrespective of any consideration. We are all in this human shape created by GOD and placed in different areas to look after our fellow beings. GOD has given us the Spirit of tolerance and co-existence duly Sharing, Caring and Bearing all kinds of happy and unhappy situations.Man made bifurcations are only to give variations in our approach to the common problems confronting the people of the world living in different areas of their choice. anybody found guilty of any Evil doing, is to be viewed as a criminal without any sort of consideration based on his/her social status or religion/country etc. This kind pf approach only will take us to a common GOAL of annihilating the DEVIL from our midst.Taking sides in such circumstances will viciate the very nature of our existence as Human beings, responsible for the protection and maintenance of all species living in this world.

Therefore, let not our thoughts and action be biased on introvert tendencies, but instead oriented on common interedts benificial to the people at large. Let the Religious faith of a person be his/her choice and let it not be mixed with the harmonious set up of the society by unnecessary exposure. The cream of all faith can be harnessed to nourish the growth of the social structure, to a healthy and peaceful state. Let us put our shoulers together inder ONE YOKE and try to pull out of the DEVIL and his KINGDOM from the face of this MOTHER EARTH , whose children are to be ONE IN BODY AND SPIRIT ...

ONE IN BODY AND SPIRIT

WORK IS WORSHIP

GOD created all the infrastructural facilities for man before HE put him in charge of all creations, with instructions to Labour and Toil hard to protect himself and his surroundings. Knowing the nature of man GOD imposed certain restrictions on him for peaceful existence with nature. Living by the " Sweat of his Brow" was the guiding principle in man's life. But slowly the devilish mind in him deviated his attitude towards life and he disobeyed the commands of GOD.The Creator purposely gave man the power of distinguishion of good and evil so that he could balance the way of life to suite the circumstances by overpowering Evil tendencies

Disobedience caused disarray in his routine and he became  lazy and adopted shortcuts to avoid hardships and perseverance. Carrying out the Works assigned to one particular individual faithfully and without malice is Worship in HIS eyes and the GOD will reward him and bless him continuosly through out his life. But he deviated his life style and  sought other ugly means to satify his greed and incurred the displeasure of GOD. He tried to attain mercyand blessings of GOD by penitence and sacrificial living. GOD gives atonement to man only if he tills his land and live a life of his own, helping the poor and the needy. Looking after the poor and lonely is the only way to please GOD and discharging ones duty with full involvement and commitment is the real worship. Anyone dishonestly or carelessly abandons his/her legitimate duty will invite trouble and wrath of GOD in hs/her life.

The present trend of man is  to forget totally the will of GOD and try to please HIM by building temples/churches and other places of worship. But while doing so he is nurturing illwill and hatred and disharmony amongst the people. These two . that is trying to please GOD and Satan will not go together! We cannot please GOD unless we take care of the peole around us and share the sorrows and happiness with them. Any amount of penitance and sacrifice will not save us , unless we do our legitimate duty to the society, honestly and devoutly with prejudice to NONE.

DUAL NATURE OF MAN

All creations adore the CREATOR in words and deeds, adoration by way of outward expressions and by way of internal meditation in solitude. Man being the commander-in-chief of all creations has devised methods of controlling both human beings and animals. While exercising the surveillance over the nature he has to adopt DUAL TACTICS to balance his actions without disturbing the inter dependance of the human beings & the animals and also to a  certain extent the vegitation. This quality of Dual Nature OR control was gifted by GOD to set right the life style of mankind, by highlighting the GOOD from EVIL. Comparative element was always directing his ideas & thoughts before putting them into action. He always cautioned himself from the Devilish Attitude on account of the higher level of GOD'S NATURE in him , in suduing the damaging actions. The very nature which provides us with the prime necessities in life, viz- AIR-WATER-FIRE to maintain & sustain life has given us also the Wisdom to understand the DUAL QUALITIES of those essential elements.

The qualities of these essential elements are-1) AIR: Gives life & takes away life(Suffocation), 2) WATER: Gives life& takes away life( Drowning), 3) FIRE: Gives life & takes away life( Burning) and 4) FOOD: gives life & takes away life( Over eating). The human beings are vested with the most complex nature of mind. The complexities in man enable him to decide upon the correct solution by tossing the mind in all directions and hit on the positive side to attain the result. Patience & Perseverance are the most needed tools to shape our DUAL THINKING into positive end, beneficial to others. Judicial dispensation of problems confronting the Human beings is the only solution to drive off the Evil nature in man for the bettermentof the Society at large.

Sexual Harassment on Women

GOD’S SUPREME CREATION ‘MAN’ HAS TO PASS THROUGH THREE STAGES OF TRANSFORMATION THAT IS, THE NATURAL MAN, THE CARNAL MAN, AND THE SPIRITUAL MAN. THESE STAGES HAVE DIFFERENT MANIFESTATIONS IN THE LIFE OF HUMAN BEINGS AND THE MEN & WOMEN HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO TIDE OVER THE DEVILISH NATURE IN HIM/HER TO REACH THE STAGE OF SPIRITUALITY.

AS THE TIME WENT ON, “THE NATURAL MAN” IN HIS/HER QUEST FOR BETTER LIVING CONDITIONS, BECAME GRADUALLY CIVILISED.THE EVIL NATURE IN HIM/HER SLOWLY VANISHED. THE EVIL THOUGHTS WERE BURIED DEEP IN THEIR HEART BY THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE.

WE HAVE DIFFERENTIATED MANKIND IN SEVERAL RANK&FILE – LIKE, RELIGIOUS HEADS/LEADERS, POLITICAL LEADERS AND ALL OTHERS IN THE DIFFERENT SEGMENTS OF SOCIAL SET UP.” THE APPAREL PROCLAIMS THE MAN”. THE DRESS DEFINITELY DIFFERENTIATES ONE FROM ANOTHER. ONCE WE ARE UNDRESSED / STRIPPED OFF THE MANTLE, GENERALLY WE ALL WILL LOOK THE SAME IN THE PHYSICAL BUILD UP. ALSO WE HAVE THE INBUILT SEXUAL DESIRE, -A NATURAL INSTINCT- WHICH WILL TAKE OVER OUR MIND WHEN THE SURROUNDINGS ARE FAVOURABLE FOR SUCH BEHAVIOUR. THE RECENT HAPPENINGS SHOW THAT THE CARNAL STAGE IN MAN/WOMAN HAVE TAKEN OVER HIS/HER MIND AND TRIGGERED SUCH ACTIONS WHICH CREATED UNHAPPY INCIDENTS IN SOCIAL LIFE.

CARNAL MAN/WOMAN IN ANY SECTOR, RELIGIOUS OR OTHERWISE, MAY HAVE “WOLF IN SHEEP’S SKIN” APPEARANCES IN THEIR ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOUR IN PUBLIC LIFE. THE NATURAL FEELINGS TOWARDS THE OPPOSITE SEX IS NOT A CRIME. BUT WHEN IT BREAKS ALL NORMS OF SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR, IT BECOMES A SERIOUS AND PUNISHABLE CRIME. THE CARNAL FEELINGS AND EMOTIONAL EXERCISES ON SEXUAL PERFORMANCES, ARE THE HARBINGERS OF THESE CRIMES, THOUGH BLANKETTED AND SHROUDED AND INSULATED BY THE SOCIAL CUSTOMS, MORAL TEACHINGS AND THE LAW OF THE LAND. DUE TO EROSION OF POLITICAL WILL AND ADMINISTRATIVE LACONA, THE “MIND INSULATION” IS RUPTURED, EXPOSING THE MIND & BODY FULLY TO THE SEXUAL DESIRES-REACHING TO AN UNACCEPTABLE RANGE. SO WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL IN SECURING THE INSULATING MEDIUM AND RESTORE THE SPIRITUALITY IN THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE TO SAFE GUARD FROM THE CLUTCHES OF THE DEVIL, WHO IS PROMPTING US TO COMMIT SUCH UNHOLLY CRIME. IN ANY CASE, THE OFFENDER MUST BE PUNISHED ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF THE LAND, WITHOUT ANY INTERFERENCE BY THE POILITICIANS OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER.

POLITICS IN INDIA

THE POLITICAL PILGRIMAGE


THE RECENT TRENDS IN THE POLITICAL SCENARIO MAKE ME FEEL BAD, AND I WOULD LIKE TO EXDPRESS MY FEELINGS IN WORDS , WHICH MAY NOT BE PALATABLE FOR MANY, BUT FOR SOME.

POLITICALLY INFATUATED PERSON WILL ENTER THE POLITICS WITH A POLICY AND CONTINUES IN THAT FOR SOME TIME. AS HE/SHE MATURES HIMSELF/HERSELF IN THE PARTY POLITICS AND ITS TRADE SECRETS, HE/SHE WILL TAKE A TURN FORGETTING THE ORIGINAL LINE OF ACTION AND BEHAVES LIKE AN INTROVERT, SUCCUMBIING TO DIFFERENT FORCES. HE/SHE THEN JOINS OTHER “LINKS” IN SEARCH OF GREENER PASTURES!

THIS CATEGORY OF POLITICAL AGENTS IS A DANGEROUS SET OF PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE SINCERITY AND TENACITY OF PURPOSE IN THEIR PUBLIC LIFE. NOW A DAYS PARTY SPLITS IN ARITHMETIC PROPORTIONS AND WAITS FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN HANDS WITH ANOTHER. ALL DEPEND ON THE PERSONAL GAIN UNDER THE COVER OF SOME POLITICAL INFLUENCE. SUCH HAPPENNINGS ARE SEEN IN THE POLITICAL GROUPS WHICH ALWAYS SWING FROM ONE PARTY TO ANOTHER AND ALSO SWINDLE MONEY & POWER FOR PERSONAL GRATIFICATION.

MR. KARUNAKARAN THE VETERAN LEADER OF THE CONGRESS GROUP, DELINKED HIS POLITICAL ALLIANCE FROM HIS PARTY IN WHICH HE WAS VITUALLY “BORNE & BROUGHT UP”. THEN HIS SON ENTERED INTO THE GREENER PASTURES. SIMILAR FAEATURES WERE SEEN IN THE POLITICAL VEDANTHA OF LATE P.J.CHACKO & HIS SON P.C.THOMAS, WITH A DIFFERENT OUTLOOK. THE CHEMICAL EQUATION IN POLITICS, FOR BOTH THE CASES, IS THE SAME -REVERSIBLE OR IRREVERSIBLE- I DO NOT KNOW?

WE HAVE TO THINK VERY SERIOUSLY ON THIS TYPE OF POLITICAL GAME OF AFFILIATION /AFFINITY AND FIND OUT A SOLUTION TO CURB SUCH OCCURENCES. THE POLITICAL POLUTIONS SHOULD END AND WE SHOULD HAVE A STRICT COMPLIANCE OF RULES REGULATING THEIR PUBLIC SERVICE. THAT IS, NOT MORE THAN 2 YEARS BY A PERSON AS AN MLA OR MP.

UNLESS THIS RESCTRICTION IS IMPOSED, WE WILL RUN INTO DIFFICULTIES AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER OURSELVES, FROM THE DISASTEROUS END WAITING FOR THE MOTHER LAND

THE LAST LAP

Dear Friends,We are on the Last Lap of the Marathon Relay Race, continuously running and handing over the Relay Batten to the generation that follow. Our Forefathers ran the Race well and after finishing their due share of the span of Life, handed over the baton to us to continue the race without any distraction or deviation from the Route PREARRANGED by the GOD Almighty.HE gave us all the infrastructural facilities right from the beginning of Man,s life on this Earth, and also the Commandments directing all of us to observe during the RUN. Our Ancestors did run with confidence in the Creator of this UNIVERSE and reached their Goal, fulfilling the Tasks given to them. Each man was given a Specific Talent to propel his actions towards the Goal. But all of them could not do well in the Race, due to deviation, influenced by the DEVIL. The Man overlooked GOD and took shelter in the DEVIL,S Kingdom and lost his way and could not retrace his Track. The Devil and his Agents were also running on a Parallel Track to misguide others running on the Track earmarked by GOD for HIS Creation to toil hard and to reach the Heavenly abode in the Right Time marked by HIM. Those who were fallen en route could not accomplish the Task given to them. They had to perish in run, on the Wrath of GOD. God sent His Prophets to warn these people, but nothing could retrieve them as they were under the Clutches of the Devil. Finally God had to send His own Son, Jesus to put them on the Track, and to redeem the lost SHEEP. Jesus lived with the people and demonstrated the life style to be maintained in love and compassion to fellow beings. HE thereafter handed over the Baton to HIS Disciples to follow the directions He gave them, so that all will run on the predetermined Track till they Reach the GOAL. Jesus went back to Heaven to Prepare Mansions for those who finish the Relay Race in their Life on this Earth, and also to hand over the CROWN for the Winners. These "Flame Tested" men/women will Inherit the Crown of Glory and enter into the KINGDOM of GOD for INTERNAL LIFE.THERE FORE LET US ALL RUN THE RACE IN TRACK MARKED FOR EACH ONE OF US.

TOTAL ANARCHY IN KERALA

KERALA THE LAND OF GOD- NOW THE DEVIL’S PARADISE!

The men in authority in Kerala have lost reasons and now act indifferently in all that happen daily in our public life. Political factions playing a major role in the daily happenings in the social structure, fracturing and fragmenting it into pieces, thereby causing irrecoverable loss to life and property. We are slipping into a deep trench due to the daily agitations and destructive activities of the different policy makers and ideologists, who trigger their party men to these hooliganisms. The stench, coming out of these trenches is polluting the whole public life and we are slowly drifting off into a point of no return. The struggle amongst the parties goes on, each party trying to excel in their policies and ideologies in public administration. Disruption of normal life is a common occurrence, due to unruly agitators belonging to the Ruling group and the opposition groups. It gives me the feeling that we are worse than the Conspirators of Julius Caesar’s time, where, they ran amuck killing people on the road. Now the situation prevailing in Kerala is Total ANARCHY. The Rulers and the party Leaders are hiding “behind the stacks” and avoid remedial measures for fear of WHAT?

The police officials do not act as “Security Guards” of the people and they deliberately avoid their duty as per the Police Manual and the INTENDED MISSION of police in public life. What can be the remedy for this threatening situation?. The remedy lies in the observance of the Law of the Land by the appropriate authority without Fear or Favour. Once the culprits know that procedures are delayed and go on dragging for years, they do not hesitate to commit any crime-even butchering people-. They know, that even after their natural death, the decision of the legal procedures against them will be PENDING WITH THE COURT!.

Now the concept END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS must END. The Means Justifies the END must resurrect to save mankind, before the humanity PERISH under the “LAWLESSNESS” marching daily in our Streets of KERALA.
