Question One:
Who are we with all our potentiality?
We are in the image of Godliness with all perfection and have become imperfect on account of our own doings based on the principle of self accountability ‘ self is the cause and self is the effect . Yes heredity and environment have largely influenced usin picking up those habits that disallows us to reflect positivity in the profile of Godliness.Know more about we being through my poem KNOW THYSELF
KNOW THYSELF
Know thyself your form is rare
That even gods cannot dare
Thou art lord, internalize
Know it so and then realize
This life rich in resource
Plenty and full of force
All attainable for thee divine
Thou art lord all is thine
Why do you delude all at pleasure
All is Atman and at your leisure
Thou art master, not the slave
Be wise and not the knave
Thou art lord command the mind
Control the senses not to bind
Self is the friend and self is the foe
All a matter of discriminatin or else woe
Think, judge and act right
know, feel and do right
Listen to your soul it murmurs
As and when wrong occurs
Search the soul for self correction
It whispers at self dereliction
Energise to feel divine
know thyself all is thine
