THE PERISHABLES

EVOLUTION PRESERVATION AND DESTRUCTION.

We have all studied about the evolution theory, which says life started with a single cell on earth and then eventually over a period of millions of years the single celled creatures or germs began multiplying to create monsters like the dinosaurs in water and on land.

Though so many evolution theories exists and no one ever could actually prove with out an iota of doubt how this first cell itself came in to being and the rest of the process may have been imagined by the so called thinkers, who came out with so many varieties of creatures from deep under the earth in several places and more or less have almost proved that man was the ultimate form of the monkeys and Gorillas, which started the thinking process as the way we do now. So our fore fathers,’ millions of years back were monkeys.

Now having gone through several cycles of evolutions the world of today as we see has come to life the way it is. Different thoughts and ways have existed right from the beginning of the evolutionary cycles. Just like the different means of reaching a far destination, for instance you may go on horseback, cycle, walk, ride in different modes of vehicles or even fly to make it quicker. Men too started to live differently according to their cultures and as advised by their forefathers. That was how different religions came in to being. Some may argue that their way is the quickest like the airplanes while others may differ saying the risks are too high.

No one has ever come out with a foolproof idea as each means, may have its own merits and demerits. But to fight for the belief, which may be proved later as a blunder, is utter foolishness.

With out any doubt we all can see that Hinduism is the oldest taught religion on earth without any one forcing to make a Hindu out of other religions. The basic principles taught in Hinduism are tolerance and respect for other religions and the freedom to live according to the wish of the individual. That basic difference have made Hinduism unique and lasted as long as one remembers. Though a mere 10 percent of Muslim rulers could rule all of India and later by the British it was made possible because the majority did not believe in violence and was tolerant to all who came to India to make a living.

Now the basic principles of Hinduism are at the mercy of those who have started to preach violence as the means of rooting out other religions from our great country. The greatness of Lion is seen from the fact that though powerful, they never attack other than for food, like other less powerful creatures who kills just for the sadists’ satisfaction of seeing creatures die. Hinduism never ever in the history taught violence, but for defending our lives. Like the great war of ‘MAHABHARATH’ was fought against the evil designs of some evil men who, by crooked means amassed wealth and land. God Krishna in ‘Bagvathgita’ explains the necessity of war, to Arjun who was not feeling it right to fight against his own brothers and Uncles and Gurus. Sri Krishna makes Arjun understand the war against the evil and for saving the righteous thoughts.

Likewise now we are faced with the dilemma of either fighting for our rightful path to cleanse the society, which is almost filled with bad villains and evil men who by hook or crook amasses wealth at the cost of the poorest among the poor. My mother told the other day out of her wisdom that our dear old earth will cease to exists, rather all living beings will be perished by a ball of fire, the making of white men, and the heat generated will result in months and months of rains which ultimately will nourish life forms again after destruction of the whole world. We don’t need a degree in atomic or nuclear science to prove it is most certainly the end which is not far away by atom bombs, which is stockpiled by almost a dozen countries. I do believe my moms prophecy because she has lived and read more than me the Hindu Shastras.
