Technology and human life

It's exciting to play a hi-fi video game using our play station without eating and sleeping for hours together : just for the thrill! It's easy to sit in a newly borne job (soon after college) enjoying the bachelor's life with plentiful financial resources. Finally just before closing our eye on the death bed, we remember all sorts of unfulfiled wishes and how you wished to live without an end! It was too late by then to think about eternal life. You were so satisfied with the pleasures of this life that we seldom look at on what's on the other side of life -BEYOND DEATH. We never wanted to discuss such issues primarily because it puts a full stop to our conscious existence. We are ready to believe any kind of man-made doctrines of re-incarnation and karma cycles as long as to satisfy and decieve our own selves. But when presented the TRUTH we sternly object it to face calling it all sorts of names from 'hurting religious centiments!' , 'intrusion of private space' , 'sacrileging traditional and cultural beliefs,' and what not!

We are so adamant to the point of death. Our souls are tied together with technology that it makes up our world and a little icing of GOD here and there ! We call it a humble pie while it is baked with self-pride and ego! It's a pity that our inner eyes are blinded to the very TRUTH! We make holes in Ozone and we mend them. It's a part and parcel of our existence. We primarily spend time by exploring the unknown and confusing the known; and we are satisfied with it. The devil is also satisfied as long as we don't find the way to the tree of life. What we see, feel, hear and taste makes our existence. Annddd... our forefather's bed time stories are courageous and romantic to hear. They develop so called good characters. OK! They call it different names : mind relaxation techniques, isha yoga, ancestor's mystical secrets and their communication with the great divine spirit. While what the sages did were really pure and original while the present day methods are as distorted and corrupt as it was pure those days. Our pride-filled ego staunchly refuses any jot or word that questions its very nature! That's it we are soul tied to it.Only God can save us.
