???????????





“Essentially I am interested in this world, in this life and not in some other or a future “so said one of the greatest man of 20th century' Pt. Jawahar lal Nehru'   and so I believe. I do not wish to carve out a Utopian world for us to live and build castles in air. I love this world of ours, yes: every inch of it. I  feel the warmth of its embrace, the tenderness of its caressing the grace of its love in every breath we take and in every fleeting moment of our life.
Wherever I have gone and studied the tender lines on the faces of the men, women, and children,  I have found something in common in them irrespective of the caste, color, and creed. That something in common is the bubbling life, the unconquerable spirit, and the manifestation of the Great in millions, the reflection of the same light in the mirror of every heart. Whatever I am able to study in my life with all my humble efforts, I am completely convinced of oneness in humanity, the earnestness of each individual to live in peace and harmony with each other. A strong current of love is flowing in the heart of billions. Wherever I have talked with people I am able to feel the hate and horror which nearly everyone has developed against war, the social and economic exploitation and  political, social or economical slavery in its every disguise.
But in spite of this universality of humanism, I see the world of today in a very miserable plight. It amazing and significant fact that in spite of all modern scientific progress and talk of globalization and internationalism, racialism  exploitation, violence and other separating and  destructive forces are at least as much in evidence today, if not more, than at any previous time in history.There is something lacking in all this progress and the value system which is hindering the establishment of harmony between human beings.
Evil has triumphed often in the past, but what is far worst, is the distortion and twisting of what seemed so right. Is human nature so essentially naive and foolish that it would take ages of teaching and training through sufferings and misfortune, before it could behave reasonably and believe in goodness of every human being? and raise man above that creature of hate and violence? Is every effort to change it radically in the present or near future is doomed to failure?

   I would request all my friends and others to please enlighten me about this sorry state of affairs. I really do not having even an iota of any idea about this.
