With people having become habituated to doing everything mechanically,
nothing these days happens from the heart! On the surface, everyone appears to
be religious, but in their hearts how many feel the need for religion anymore? Everybody
seems to be steeped in patriotism, but in their hearts how many people are
really concerned about the country...why is it so?
Because we have started dealing mechanically even with these
significant emotional issues! The matters of the heart have been made physical!
Now, simply by placing a flag on the car on Independence Day and sending a
message saying “Happy Independence Day” the deed is done...! We stand up in
honour of the National Anthem in a movie theatre, is that enough? I ask you, do
such mechanical actions arouse patriotism in any way? Does this serve the
nation in anyway? If it did, then the whole country is doing it; so why is the nation is in such a dire state!
The same is the case with religion! All around, people are visiting
temples, mosques, churches etc. And when this much has been done, what more is
needed? ...Should we lay down our life?! Meaning, the situation is such that everyone
is religious and religion is also the most discussed topic, but its essence is
not visible anywhere. Theft, deceit and lies still rule the world. The reasons are
clear - if you do things mechanically, a day will come when you will completely
forget how to do things from the heart!
Hence, it is my humble request to you all, don’t make the matters of
the heart a corporal formality, otherwise one day you will forget how to do
things whole-heartedly!
