When Compassion Leaves......

When compassion for all living creatures leaves the heart of man, the light of the discriminative faculty dies, the flower of free will fades, the aroma of virtue evaporates and life loses its true purpose. Ignored and unheeded, the soul, sinks into a deep slumber and dehumanized man degenerates into an unethical automation, pulled by visible self-interest and pushed by the evil powers of antariksha (outer space). A moral blight descends on the collective conscience of the community, politics of power replaces the religion of the spirit. Culture becomes a paper-flower, while civilization, subverted by a soulless economics, is reduced to an empty shell. Struck by the materialistic glitter of a false prosperity, derived from a ruthless exploitation and a reckless destroying of innocent life, the people dislodged from right thought and conduct, lose their way into the dark vale of man-made misery and self-destruction. Where there is no compassion, the people perish. Sat-chit-atman
