GOD OR GOLD
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble”. – Psalms
” The lust of gold succeeds the rage of conquest”. – Samuel Johnson
” There is a God within us”. – Ovid
God and Gold – both are very precious in this world. We, the most of the people want obviously gold, not God . If it would be surveyed , it will be found that majority of us are interested in gold , not of invisible God . Why do we run for gold, not for God ? There are so many causes behind it. I will discuss today about the psychology of a man who desires gold , and not to see God or hankering after spiritual knowledge . In fact , We do not know about our destination. And no one advice us to take the right direction where to go , and what should be our life – goal ! We grow up through a sterio – type life journey.
As a result, we are totally confused about what to do or don’t . Like all, we start our life journey in a same manner which others are doing on or going to . Start getting education from the age of 3/4 years and ends up it with higher education. Our parents or guardians as well as children generally used to dream a good and honourable professional life or career. For bright future , they become busy to rat – race . They dream of a good salaries, a well furnished flat , and a beautiful wife or husband. Next they’re busy in office works . They have little time to maintain family affairs. As they’re going through a micro family, so their problem is acute. They spend the weekend along with their spouse and children. Even they are unable to look after their parents. Most of the parents are not happy with this situation. They generally meet together once in a year, or two. So, it’s a matter of pain . Parents want to live with their child in their old age, but they don’t get it.
What I am wanting to tell that our new generations are running towards gold . They are spending time in storing money in banks . Purchasing several flats , gold’s, and other properties. The more they are enjoying, the more they wanting.
Besides, there’s a portion of youths who are struggling to get a minimum livelihood day and night. Unemployment is the another problem prevailing a massive impact on the youths. They are seeking to employ anywhere, but Government has not been providing any job for the educated adults. So gold is afar to them. Being frustrated they are going to evil activities. Some of them are depressed having got no alternative source of income.
But they’re few people who looted our valuable capitals of public money like Nirav Modi and so on. Politicians like Lallu Prasad and so many are also responsible for the situation . If it’s meteculously scaned by ED and CBI , it would have been as if to search the thief in the village no one is found perfect . After independence, our only development is to taking bribes cores of money and to storing public money ( government ) in their individual Bank accounts . In Bengal , political Dada’s are the most solvent. BJP leaders are shouting at the corruption of Trinamul MP and the nephew of TMC suprimo, Mr. Abhishek Benerjee. And obviously it’s true that being a young guy how does he possesses the numerous buildings in Kolkata which are so costly. He was caught red-handed by the ED with gold , but CM’s police has rescued him from the ED while Mr. Banerjee was returning from Malaysia. It happened in Kolkata Airport.
There are so many scam cases which is running under investigation by the CBI . Rose Valley, Sarada , Narada, very recently illegal Cow- scammer’s case , aamphan money laundering etc – all these are real pictures of the corruption in our society . Even so many administrative officers are involved in corruption and also running towards gold hoarding . Though they’re getting massive salary, despite they’re not happy. They’re misusing our capitals.
So really we’re far away from God. God is there where there’s no corruption, no scams, no adulteration, no bad mannarism, no cheating , no falsehood. The more we will be busy in personal or self – upliftment , the more we will be far beyond of success. Now it’s urgent need of self introspection. Do we truly achieve the goal? We have some duties and responsibilities to the country as well as for society. We live in a society where all get together in our good or bad days . So , as an individual we belong to a society on which we are indebted too much. The service to society and also service for the country is our birth right and our primary duties . But it’s scarcely found that our erstwhile and modern generation are not serious about it. We should think that if our country becomes rich , we would be also riches. Our Country is our God. Rishi Bankim Chandra Chattapaddhay uttered “Bande Mataram” to his motherland in his novel “Anandamath”. To serve its people who are poor, week , in trouble , is to serve the God . God is not in the remote, He or She is nearer to us. God, by the name of poor, week , ill- health , are waiting for our service . Go there and take care of them. Swami Vivekananda advised us in such a way. Hence, Our goal should be fixed in this line . ” Nannya Pantha Vidmate Aionayo “
