Significance
of Dev Sanskriti
=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya
Today,
our nation has lost everything because it has forgotten its cultural heritage.
Re-embracing and reactivating Dev Sanskrkiti can check the present all round
moral and ethical decline, restore our ancient glory and ensure bright future
for the country. India can once again share with the world through her awakened
children the principles of this divine culture. The underlying principle of the
divine culture is the thought that the real purpose of human life is to uplift,
refine, and transform it into life divine. Why? Because present life offers
nothing but pain, suffering, struggle, conflicts and mental frustration.
There is
hardly any moment when a man enjoys real and abiding happiness in today's
world. He does hope that he will get it tomorrow and in this chase of mirage he
loses his today. But the irony is when the tomorrow does arrive, he experiences
the same pang of suffering as he did yesterday. The hope is then pitched on the
next day, then the day after and so on. Man spends his entire life in this wild
goose chase and gets only pain and suffering in return. In this quest for
happiness he sometimes makes the life of other people painful and miserable. Two conclusions can be deduced from the above
situation: one, there is no happiness and it is futile to seek it; two, the
present way of life does not contain it.
The first
conclusion is a pessimistic outlook, which is ultimately suicidal. People with
such an outlook on life remain deprived of the blessing granted by God. Those
who arrive at the second conclusion become successful in realising the truth
that for attaining real and enduring happiness it is necessary to bring about
an attitudinal change in life. There are options in bringing about a change in
life; the first is to change external aspects related to life (e.g. situations,
people we interact with, available materials, facilities etc.); by doing this
we may get temporary respite from pain and suffering.
Thanks GOD, Thanks
