*WORLD PEACE POEM – 8*
*PRESENT AND FUTURE*
Man is a joint function of spirit and body. Inherent divine force in the spirit is Consciousness. The purpose of birth is to develop one’s consciousness from fraction to Totality. When the mode of living is in unison with the purpose, there will be harmony, satisfaction and peace in life. To lead such a life the physical body should be maintained in perfect health. Only for that purpose and to fulfil that need material comforts should be given importance.
If a man dedicates his time and energy only to feed the body and decorate it to further an egoistic pride, his life will be a waste. Whatever physical body will become waste when the body perishes. By maintaining the physical body with a limit to fulfil the natural needs and the joint functions of body and knowledge. Such deeds and results will help many members of the society during the lifetime. Even after one’s lifetime the results of such valuable deeds may be enjoyed by the people of several generations. So spiritual progress only is the main purpose of life; material progress is required up to a certain level. This understanding will balance the mind between material attachment and spiritual enjoyment. Conversely, giving importance to spiritual progress but disregarding the physical maintenance makes the life worthless.
