Mystery of Birth

[Guest guest]

25- From the above narration, it could be judged and a conclusion drawn, how

evil is abundant in this mundane world and how limited and few are good

ones. This also reflects on the theory that good men are few and the bad are

more. That is the creation of the Almighty for the man to realise and

disciminate between good and bad and to choose the right path for his

salvation and pious living-this path he should seek to live and lead both to

help the humanity and himself attain salvation or Mukthi.

 

26. It will be interesting to note how a generous, pious, good man and a

wicked and jealous man are compared, is illustrated by the fact that a

lion-the jungle king-though living on the ground-not like birds in air looks

forward for its hunger, an elephant for its prey but never stoops low to

ugly and meek creatures, as the vulture or a kite though high in the sky,

with its sharp sight droops down upon ugly and nasty carcasses, corpses etc.

but not at good and superior things.

27. In just manner endowed with decretory and discriminating power between

good and bad and blessed with the position and status occupying highest

pedestal in life, instead of viewing things broad-mindedly and magnanimously

with sympathy and reason and redress the grievances and problems on

humanitarian grounds, by uplifting the poor and needy and thus follow the

path of give and take policy -forget and forgive - the mother of virtue of

an ideal man realises and feels the pulses and difficulties of others as his

own; but not develop paired with narrow selfish, ugly jealous mind, only

aiming at individual self progess and prosperity, pomp, power and fame

acquired by ill-got wealth and honour at the cost of others which are

transitory illusions not eternal. He should have perspective view on higher

ideals with a bent of mind and a determined effort to help humanity, as

Abobenatham said, "Love your fellow men and I will love you - as service to

man is service to God or humanity is servitude."
