Let us bury time and history with its values and customs, the age old icons, idols and heritage. Now can we look for new horizons, new way of life, fresh pastures, fresh grounds of spirituality? But I find emptiness in my soul. Locked in the deepest memory are images of those decades old events, when I watched with these gleaming tiny eyes the spiritual aura surrounding the saintly, graceful souls, deep in prayers, in trance seeking Divine Mercy and Grace? There used to be sweet fragrance, aroma of frankincense, agar. I was immersed in the lovely feelings of presence of Divine souls. I felt the presence of Angels slowly floating with white wings with light around. The entire bliss, solace and tranquility were slowly and gradually dawning on the blissful souls in the serene gathering; all of them seeking with single minded devotion the Grace and Mercy of Divine, which was flooding the room full of worshipers, praying in rhythmic tone the Holy passages, Psalms and Zikr to allow the aged divine soul to ascend to the Lord’s throne.
Now today a sick and a miserable heart patient is surrounded by doctors, Paramedic staff struggling for hour long to revive the pulse, to bring back life to the dying tortured body. The patient is put on an oxygen mask, with several tubes fixed, glucose slowly dripping in. The patient is struggling to breathe with low groans; none in the room to sing praise to the Lord of Mercy. There is no aura, no angels, and no saintly persons to ring in spirituality. There is no burning of agar, frankincense. There are no prayerful eyes gleaming and seeking Divine Grace. The whole atmosphere is grotesque, macabre and grave.
So much for modernity and trust in medical science! The doctors and paramedics are bereft of Divinity, spirituality, grace and awe. Man has lost his soul, his humanity in this materialistic, mad rat raced world.

A soldier not only masters the use of the weapons but is trained to uncover the enemies’ plans and stratagems with his intelligence and cleverness. Life picks up only such sturdy soldiers who can win wars for it and bring laurels and awards. This is also so in the every field be it economic, sociology, science, politics, medicine or engineering. A person lacking in skill of one type or other is left out to suffer the rigmarole of life. Life and its economy respects highly talented persons who are result oriented, smart, fully groomed quick and mercurial, every ready to learn fast the changes taking around and adapt to any changing situations.
Life discards lazy, useless and redundant persons who have no skills, lack intelligence but should have good manners, sweet tongue, smart in turn out; persons with weaknesses just cannot make it to the goal.
A soldier should be cheerful in the face of attack of his adversaries; should be highly disciplined to receive the commands of his superiors and implement it implicitly without murmur or delay. A soldier should have smart turnout, alert, quick to spot the designs of the enemy and uncover any plot to damage the army. Life is precious; it has to be preserved with proper health care, good healthy habits, good exercise, prayers, meditation, and acquisition of knowledge on daily basis, practicing honesty, truth, maintaining integrity at all times. A Soldier should be simple in manners, humble to the core, generous to fellow soldiers, caring one and all and keeping life supports always in hand.

Life is tuned with cosmic harmony with cosmic man and universal man who are conscious of bringing cosmic harmony in the environment and in society every second and every minute. Any one in humanity or its own soldiers who work against its aim is brutally discarded.
Life discipline is of utmost importance to meet its eventualities, storms, tempests, tsunamis, turmoil’s, earth quakes, destruction and violent changes brought out by natural events or by internal mechanical working of the society.
Life’s fuel is love graciousness, humility, simplicity, piety, intelligence, smartness, cleanliness, order and discipline. Main source of its strength to move about smoothly is its capacity to forgive and forget and to move on by compromises and never to take revenge, hurt or cause harm. Life’s generosity is enormous to the hilt but in return expects unwavering loyalty, courage sincerity, devotion and service.
Life can be unforgiving, cruel and rude to its treacherous enemies, who hold grudge against it and work to destroy life’s good designs to help humanity. Life has its own wonderful schemes and plans and is always ready to help anyone without scruples who come forward to help and assist life’s objectives to bring peace, order, happiness, joys, equilibrium, and harmony in life of the entire cosmos. All those who are sectarian, narrow minded, selfish, self centered and out to destroy society with evil deeds of promiscuity, drugs. alcoholism, child labor, exploitation of women, widows, helpless children, destitute, are slowly and steadily eliminated by life in its own way by injecting super anti disinfectants, strong purgatives and antibiotics. It is a slow and silent process but a sure one.
Humanity has to save itself by joining cosmic forces which are benign, kind, loving and caring and help in carrying out eternal good deeds.
