| What type of donation is most significant for a particular environment? What makes a donation most valuable? There is a simple answer. The most superior donation is that which alleviates the greatest suffering of man during a particular period. The adversity could be a draught-requiring drinking water for the thirsty, a famine-needing food for the starving, a deluge-necessitating a boat for rescuing the stranded or medical help for people involved in an accident. That is to say, the donation must supplement the most urgently required resources to mitigate maximum suffering of the moment.
An Unprecedented Opportunity not to be Missed:
Human life is nothing but a chronicle of ordinary and extraordinary events. In normal day to day living one takes casual decisions in one’s own stride, but in moments of crisis indecision or hesitancy in action proves to be disastrous. The warning divine signal which Samarth Ramdas (a Saint) received on the eve of his marriage was instantaneously received and faithfully accepted by him like a disciplined soldier. When the suggestion received through body was imbibed by soul, he performed such superior acts of national reformation, which became permanent landmarks in history. Shankaracharya, Vivekanand, Dayanand, Vinoba and other great men had also not wasted years in indecisions about the aim of their life.
Jesus Christ had rightly implored man to make use of the left hand for catching hold of an opportunity for reaching heights of excellence, lest in the brief time available for preparing the right hand, Satan misguides, making one lose some unusual opportunity for all times.
Moments of crisis necessitate immediate action. A little carelessness during the delivery at times becomes fatal for the mother or the child. Most of the road accidents take place because of minor mistakes of the drivers. With only a slight movement of hands an arrow shot at by the archer goes wide off the mark. Life of man is that rare gift of God, span of which cannot be guaranteed for anyone. Who knows whether a person going to sleep today will not be found in an eternal sleep tomorrow? Who can be assured of a long life? Even well known supermen like Shankaracharya, Vivekanand and Ramteerth had died in the prime of their youth. Hence, it would be wise to take a final decision on one’s goal of life in this rare opportunity of existence as a human being in this world.
Today, the history of human race is being rewritten with a fresh ink. During this turmoil, when nature is busy in bringing about revolutionary changes, the appropriate opportunity has arrived for man to choose one’s own particular assignment. Those who do not act will be later forced to accept, whatever role is given to them. When the train is crowded, a little effort in the beginning of the journey ensures one the comfort of a permanent seat till one reaches the destination.
Today a new chapter is being written in the history of mankind. Herein, every one of us is welcome to ensure a significant place and make a contribution to be remembered through ages and thus set an example for posterity. It would inspire many generations and will enable people to choose the righteous path and course of action. The size of a lamp is small, yet it is able to lighten a much larger area, expose the actual shape and size of things and disperse the pitch darkness around itself. This it does at the cost of its meager resources of oil and wick. Is the worth of a man less then that of an earthen lamp? Certainly not in the least! It is only that giant tornado of inhibitions which creates numerous obstacles on the path to excellence. History is full of big achievements of great man, Can’t we overcome or get rid of that tendency of inhibition, which brings us self-reproach and condemnation of the society.
Today God is exclusively and strongly desirous of creating an environment capable of bringing in a revolutionary change in the decaying culture of man. This will of God is the silver lining of bright future in the Twenty-First Century. It will be seen as imbibitions of divinity in human race through the crusade of this mission for development of talent for righteousness. This itself is being seen by people as flame of red torch, symbolizing the Revolution of Concepts (Vichar Kranti) undertaken by the mission. The extent of participation in fulfillment of this divine objective will be commensurately rewarded and one would feel extremely fortunate for one’s contributions for this noble cause. |
