Sub :  THE SACRED -THE SECULAR :


Ref :  " SECULAR"  A WORD  WIDELY AND LOUDLY USED BY CONGRESS, COMMUNISTS, ALL YADAV GROUPS ( UP+BIHAR), ALL REGIONAL ONE LEADER MATCH STICK GROUPS, ...... ALL SO  CALLED  MINORITY RELIGION BASED GROUPS,  etc.,  .....


All Members,


Respected family members of this great holy Nation.

1. This  word  is  widely  used to  accuse  BJP, by  all  political  parties  opposing it.

2. Are these  groups  really  know  what is Secular, the  essence ?

3. Let us know what is it!

A.

Introducion

Part-1.

1. The  machine  age  is  certainly  making  an  honest  effort  to  create  a  glorious  world  that  can  provide  a  greater  happiness  for  its  generation.

2.  Indeed,  superficially  viewed,  the  present  age  is  spectacular  in  its  luxurious  arrangements.

3.  But  a  cook  alone  cannot  promise  the  happy  dinner  though  he  an  produce  tasty  disses.

4.  The  guests  must  have  a  healthy  appetite.

5.  The  world-of-objects  in  itself  is  not  life.

6.  Man  living  in  the  world  and  coming  in  contact  with  the  available  order-of-things  comes  to  experience  his  share  of  joy  or  sorrow  and  this  transaction  is  called  Life.

7.  Out  of  the  marriage  between  man  and  the  world  is  produced  the  incandescence  of  "Lïfe."

8.  The  scientific  age,  with  its  production,  technology,  quick  transport,  cheap  prices,  etc.,  has  brought  all  the  objects  of  enjoyment  at  the  very  elbow  of  even  the  poorest  man  living  in  the  most  distant  corners  of  the  world.

9.  This  is  indeed  a  great  success  which  deserves  our  sincere  compliments.


Part-2.

1.  But  the  stupendous  folly  is  when  the  champions  of  materialism  thoughtlessly  conclude  that  the  happiness  of  man  can  be  substantially  increased  simply  by  a  steady  improvement  in  the  utilitarian  comforts  made  available  in  the  world  outside.

2.  The  best  of  the  dinners  served  is  but  a  bitter  suffering  to  the  one  who  is  running  a slight  temperature  in  himself.

 3.  The  dinner  may  be  good  but  the  enjoyer  is  not  sufficiently  tuned  up  with  the  objects-of-joy,  so  that  the  equation  of  happiness  cannot  be  correctly  formed.


B.

Part-3.

1.  Philosophy  and  Religion  try  to  tune  up  the  man;  philosophy  rehabilitates  the  enjoyer's  personality;  religion  reorientates  man  to  live  in  perfect  equanimity  in  all  possible  exigencies  of  existence.

2.  There  was  a  time,  especially  in  the  medieval  era,  when  religion  got  itself  over-emphasized  and  came  to  throttle  the  development  of  science  and  technology.

3.  They  labelled  science  as  witchcraft,  and  banned  its  growth  in  society;  resulting  in  the  horrid  Dark-age  of  a  tragic  European  culture  steeped  in  superstitions,  distorted  by  fanaticcism  and  tarred  by  foolishness.

Rest  is  in  the  next  ...
