For lasting peace


       Man is supreme of all living beings. Only man has the special intuition to perceive and understand the sufferings of others. Only man has the quality of feeling pity towards the suffering people and help them. There are many things required for life. Nevertheless, man is progressing day by day in the knowledge of industrial science for mass producing them in easier and quicker manner. Still, why is there no peace in the human society? Why does fear, conflict, enmity and war arise among human beings often and cause disruption of life? We have to find a solution to this only by an analysis based on the nature of the human mind and the effects?

Man is in need of four types of necessities.

(1) Food, clothes, house, sex at the appropriate age - These should be available in a timely manner, and to the extent of satisfying the needs.



(2) opportunity to experience and enjoy the different forms of natural beauties and scenes



(3) chance and circumstances to realise and explain to others about the secrets of nature



(4) chance and circumstances to realise the source of energy for the functioning of the universe and the self.

       When the above four necessities are not fulfilled at the appropriate time and manner, according to the need, man's mental and physical energies gets diverted in different directions. The feeling of rivalry, the sinful acts of stealing others wealth for living and the responsibility of security increases at this stage and transforms into fear, enmity, conflict and war. Every human being born in this world has the right to earn, protect, consume and help others with the above necessities and comforts. This is called as birthright.

       The protective social environment providing the protection to these rights from being oppressed by others or from being taken away, is called freedom. Only when every human being living in this world gets this divine birthright and freedom, only when it is assured, there will be peace in the life of the human being. Only then it can last long.
