Message for the Day….” Have faith in Vedas and Sastras…”
To have faith in the Vedas and to accept the injunctions of the Veda is being regarded by the modern youth as outmoded and uncivilised. Young people today are not making an enquiry as to what is contained in the Vedas or in the Sastras (scriptures). They go further and say that those Have faith in the Vedas people who have faith in the Vedas and the Sastras are only having blind faith. If one argues, after acquainting oneself with the contents of what one is arguing about, one can argue for any length of time, but if a person is arguing without knowing the contents, it is not possible to have an argument. Our Vedas have been teaching us several aspects of Satyam or truth, of Jnanam or wisdom, and ofAnanta or infinity. We should ask ourselves whether the people who describe truth as truth and knowledge as knowledge are foolish, or the people who describe truth as untruth and knowledge as ignorance are foolish.

Message for the Day…” Understand the kind of love and affection that God showers on His Devotees…”
Acquire the competence to understand the kind of love and tenderness that God showers on His devotees. Pleasure arises from pain and pain results in pleasure. Because the Pandavas were in the jungle for twelve years and hid themselves unrecognised for the thirteenth year, people now appreciate their noble qualities. Because of the many obstacles and troubles that Prahlada encountered, and the punishments meted out to him, the rest of the world now knows how great his devotion was. Prahlada never had tears in his eyes and never exhibited any pain when the demons were harming him. He was simply uttering the name of the Lord and requested the Lord’s presence. His devotion and equanimity in pain and pleasure is a living example even today of what real faith and devotion can do. On the other hand, had Prahlada lived with his father in luxury with care and tenderness, how would his faith be known?

Sarcasm at its Best…
Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the old woman that she should bring her own shopping bags because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment.
The woman apologized and explained, “We didn’t have this green thing back in my earlier days.”
The cashier responded, “That’s our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations.”
She was right — our generation didn’t have the green thing in its day.
Back then, we returned milk bottles, pop bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so they could use the same bottles over and over. Yes, they really were recycling.
We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen; and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.
But, we didn’t have the green thing back in our day.
We walked up the stairs, because we didn’t have an escalator in every shop and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.
But, she was right. We didn’t have the green thing in our day.
Back then, we washed the baby’s nappies because we didn’t have the throw-away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an ‘energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts;’ wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.
But, that young lady is right. We didn’t have the green thing back in our day.
Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house — not a TV in every room. And, the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the county of Yorkshire .
In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn’t have electric machines to do everything for us.
When we packaged a fragile item to send in the post, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.
Back then, we didn’t fire up an engine and burn petrol just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power.
We exercised by working so we didn’t need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.
But, she’s right. We didn’t have the green thing back then.
We drank water from a fountain or a tap when we were thirsty instead of demanding a plastic bottle flown in from another country.
We accepted that a lot of food was seasonal and didn’t expect that to be bucked by flying it thousands of air miles around the world.
We actually cooked food that didn’t come out of a packet, tin or plastic wrap and we could even wash our own vegetables and chop our own salad.
But, we didn’t have the green thing back then.
Back then, people took the tram or a bus, and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their mothers into a 24-hour taxi service.
We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances.
And we didn’t need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.
But, isn’t it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn’t have the green thing back then?
Let the young turks know how bold and wise were the old generation .
