Musings on Awareness 2


Responsibility and the Spirit of Youth
It is the responsibility of children, especially sons, to take care of aged and ailing parents. The argument today is that we live in different times; both husband and wife have to go to work and the pressures of modern day living unbearable. This may be true, but children must always remember the sacrifices made by their parents in their upbringing.
Today, every young couple must pose this question to themselves “How would I feel if I'm driven out of home when I am old, discarded like a worn-out shoe? 
The young must start not by demanding their rights but by recognising their responsibilities

Limb Hierarchy
Man is a limb of Society; Society is a limb of Nature; and finally Nature itself is a limb of God. To appreciate this concept, we may consider a simple analogy.
Let's start with a finger. The finger is a part of the hand; the hand in turn is a part of the forearm, which is a part of the full arm; the arm is part of the body as a whole. So, here we have a practical example of a hierarchy in relation to the body of man. Can you ever envisage a situation where the hand would deliberately injure or harm the arm or body? In the same way, every human who is true to his or her nature cannot harm Society and Nature.
