THE FOUR STAGES IN LIFE

THE FOUR STAGES IN LIFE

The Devil takes over when the mind is idle. That is happening amongst the Youth of today. For want of UTILISATION of Talents of each individual, many youngsters are struggling to get through life. Numerous reasons can be attributed for this state of affairs. But all said and done, each individual has to sharpen his/her tools to shape the future in a better way duly aiming at a common goal beneficial to all.

Each person is a UNIQUE CREATION with a definite purpose in life. It is for us to find out this unique quality at the beginning stage of every individual. Parents do have an important role to play in bringing up the children a in their infancy. The Primary level teachers also have to concentrate and tune up the children to grow in body & spirit at the appropriate level of training.

The First stage is 0 to 1st year: - Inside the Womb

This stage of life is the one that each one of us has undergone in the Mother’s womb. This unseen stage of gestation is very important as the child absorbs energy and qualities of the mother as it grows inside the womb. The child comes to the world with this BUILT-IN POWER and initiates its movements. Therefore, the period from the conception to delivery is the most important stage of a human being.

The Second Stage is 1 to 7 years. Infancy.

The Plastic stage of life begins here. The parents carefully deal with the child to Tune & Tone up to grow in the Ideal Path. This stage is very delicate and to be handled with caution as the child repeats or imitates the parents in their movements & outward expression. This is the MOULDING stage and the potter has to be careful in shaping the child in the correct mould for better use of his/her talents in the life ahead. This grooming of the children in the Plastic Stage will Stand in Good stead in their next stage of 7 to 14 yrs.

The Third Stage is 7 to 14 years. Adolescence:-

This stage is the crucial one of Development of Body & Mind. Here the parents have to be doubly careful in dealing the children in sorting out their daily problems at home & school. Stitch in Time Saves Nine…Clearing of all the doubts and apprehensions and guiding them to the correct PATH of life is the Primary duty of the Parents as well as the Teachers. This will enable the children to take decision with out any hesitation or confusion. Close interaction is necessary during this period, and the training & guidance gained will go a long way and protect the children from all Perils & Dangers of lThe


Fourth Stage is 14 to Youth & Old age:-
This stage is the true outcome of the previous stages. The person only performs as he/she is trained in the earlier stages. Not much of Corrections or deviation can be expected in this period of life. The individual will hold firm on the principles & the way he/she was brought up. The CHILD IS THE FATHER OF MAN saying will be proved to the hilt in ones life , if all these stages are properly handled by the Parents & all those who train up the children for a Peaceful & Fruitful life.

LIVING IN PEACE

Jesus Christ the Son of God was the greatest Communist ever lived on this Earth. His Teachings and His Life are the core element in everyman’s life. The transmission of Love to other fellow beings through mutual help and support in sorrow and happiness must be the Goal in one’s life. This way of life, in every person’s struggle for existence, is to be our Endeavour.

The present out look on Communism is something beyond the common understanding of its virtues and practical implementation. The yester year’s political leaders have been following the principle of peaceful existence in its correct perspective. But as time went on, the concept was thwarted and a deviation route was followed, thereby orienting the political culture to a vitiated atmosphere.

God created man with different talents to make life worthy of living. Distribution of works to different persons according to his/her capacity/talent, made the whole world on firm foundation. We see this quality in every human being we come across. A carpenter does his job efficiently, a blacksmith his job and the mason in another fashion. If these people are interchanged in their jobs, the ultimate result will be what? A total disarray and confusion. I may be a good Engineer, but may not be a good artist to make a sculpture. Distribution of jobs according to the talent of a person is the most important duty of a Leader, whether in the Administration or in any other field of activity for the betterment of the society.

Unless the above principles of life is understood well, we will not be good administers or good servants of the people. The life is a mixture of good & evil, and we have to choose the right thing at the right moment. There is an important system in Management. That is, The Right Person, in the right Job, in the Right Time. Once this combination of events matches, the progress will be of a galloping nature. Equality is important for all, with specific need for food shelter, clothing and equal opportunities in other spheres in life. But difference in level of understanding and skill varies with individuals, as stated above, in their TALENTS given by the Creator of this Universe. We have to admit that and face life in that manner. People, above us and below us in the society, have to be respected in their level to keep the equilibrium of LIFE. Each person is UNIQUE IN NATURE and has a specific task to perform in life. To identify that is the primary duty of all of us.

Once this is done in our day to day life, whether in Industrial units, in Educational Institutions, in Agricultural fields or anywhere for that matter, we will be enjoying better living conditions, may be like, MAVELI VANIDUM KALAM!

JESUS CHRIST taught us the MEANS to achieve the END. The communists as of day take any MEANS to achieve the END. Their policy is END Justifies the MEANS, where as Jesus Christ gave us the ONLY MEANS to justify the END. That is the difference.

The present out look on Communism is something beyond the common understanding of its virtues and practical implementation.
