The world today has become ready made.
People do not have time to sit back and contemplate on what is ought to be do in situations.
Every one want everything READY-MADE, thats today's brand.
That is very good in many aspects, but today I just want to put across some points that are making it not good.
Once upon a time we used to wait for weeks together to see a family photo getting developed, once that photo came home, everyone used to spend time with it with many memories knit with it.
We used to wait for tailor to finish with stitching of the new pair for birthday, write on greeting cards and post them, used to read each of the greeting cards 100 time and cherish each word.
Used to love our books and never let others open the cover at least.
In contrast now, you can click upon any scene and share it instantaneously, send any message in different forms and can get any thing ready made except the "original parents", we are loosing the feel of things by this development, we do not have time to re-visit a snap we clicked last week still we keep on adding them, we do not read a mail till end and mess-up the communication system.
we do not take a step to make anything right but want every thing costumed to our needs.
Is this really fair, just stop and think for a while.
We are actually lost in lots and lots of data and no information of what to do with that data, neither we listen to some one trying to bring things to order nor will we keep them organized.
Information is wealth but to use it to the needed extent will help you maintain good health.
I see the misunderstood "individual thinking" as a root routing all these problems to the man kind,
yes individual thinking has to be encouraged but what is the basis for such thinking, how to conclude that the assumptions that one make before taking some decisions are correct?
If we call it as a call-of-intuition, where from we have developed that intuition? may be from our past experiences or from the situations surrounding us.
But are these things enough to take a decision, will they server our purpose?
This is the point we really need to stress to get things done right.
In ancient times all the knowledge a man uses to make decisions was based on the Vedic texts and only on the conclusions they give.
Time passed on man has started acquiring stuff that will give him solace and started appreciating the comfort.
Yes, if it has stopped at this point, it might not have caused a bad impact that is currently prevailing, but the man when sought comforts started coming out of the track called discipline.
So to conclude a simple seep of discipline can help us in growing a huge banyan tree with happiness pervading all across life and thus does not let even a sapling of sorrow/dismay to grow.
While we individually may not get a chance to explore the vedic texts personally and make a decision, for such a reason, the simplification of such texts was started.
We are really fortunate to have them till date but pity is that no one refers to them even in the deep dismay, they were first simplified as upanishands and further to the purana level and from there were transformed to the level of Epics-to be blunt novels and each character of such novels gave explanations to situations.
But we do not have time to go through even these stories.
The ready made fast-food-track culture is taking away human from himself, by the time one realizes what is wrong with life he goes to that station from which he does not have not only a return train but have no means of traveling back even an inch. In such situation every step becomes vital, so how to make path in such a world, we need a light house to guide us in the sea of this world, that is why the supreme unbiased power has been taking different forms in different Yuga- the classification of time- which solely depends on the capability of its people to make decisions, in the previous YUGA's people were patient enough to know the situation, but seldom there used to be big time law breakers so KURMA, MASTYA, VARAHA, NARASIMHA avataras came into existence instantaneously correcting them and bringing things to the path, and after these incarnations the tranquility endured for a long time.
Then came the Ramavatara which was a long in its length and behaved like a normal man, giving an example that men, with full interest can bring things to proper shape and even till date any good kingdom is compared to Ramarajya. The strength of evil force was more in this time but people were willing to follow the rules placed by the king,
In time of krishnavatara the whole scenario was different people and politicians were both polluted and none were ready to act straight, lord krishna thus acted and shown that even though you are surrounded by wrong people, with deep interest in truth you can be a happy man, he gave gita which upon practicing gives enormous amount of happiness to the practitioner.
Finally our age where people are finding it difficult to find time to have proper food and have proper though process how they can obey rules.
They don't know how VEDIC's approach can help their life.
They can't even look into some texts like upanishads to improvise their perspective
They will never try to read an epic and get knowledge Bhagawatgita is only played when someone departs as if the dead person needs these slokas to make him not feel bad for leaving this world.
Even in such times people find someone called sadguru who can guide them to the path of bliss.
All that you need to do is to find one and follow him.
I am not asking any one to follow my guru.
My only appeal to the reader is to contemplate on the situation, try to know the truth, I can tell for sure that we cannot realize the truth due to surroundings and intuition, we need some light to be thrown on the reality by someone eminent and there by saving us.
The pace of life is taking us to some destination where peace is missing.
I am not asking to undo the technological growth that has been achieved by the human intelligence, but to use it in a way that will help man kind to be more humane.

PS: A final word from my Guru
Ramayana tells us how to live. How to raise children; how to respect
parents, how the rulers have to affectionately rule the country. All
these great teachings are essential even today. Everyone’s life is a
mini Ramayana.
