Spiritual Values..

Julian Huxley says: "Life should lead to the fulfilment of innumerable possibilities - physical,mental,spiritual and so forth - what man is capable of.And humanity is capable of greater and nobler things."

You are born into this world to so some good and not to pass your time in idleness.If you are indolent,then you are a burden to this world.You must always think of rising higher in goodness and wisdom.You will be abusing the privileges of becoming human being if you do not prove yourself worthy of the merit which brought you here.To waste one's existence in grieving over the past,in idleness and headlessness is to show his unfitness for this world.

The tree of civilization has its roots deep in spiritual values which most of us have not realised.Without these roots the leaves withered would have fallen and left the tree a lifeless stump.

The Buddha advised us not to be lazy,but to get and do some work and try to gain some income and protect what we have earned without neglecting or wasting it.The Buddha saw worldly life in its proper perspective,without any selfish or egoistic attitude.On the other had,enlightened religious teachers explained that if we allow this life to go round and round in the cycle of birth and death,while suffering physically and mentally,there is no real purpose of this life.But we can make use of service to others,by cultivating morality,by training the mind and living as cultured men in peace and harmony with the rest of the world.According to the Buddha,human beings are not puppet devoid of responsibilities.Man is regarded as the highest fruit of the tree of evolution.Our ancient philosophy,however,expresses the purpose of life in this way : "Leading from darkness to light,from untruth to truth and from death to deathlessness." There simple yet meaningful words give us much food for though :)
