THE MISUSE OF..

• Delusion mesmerized him and 
• Desire hypnotized him

And under their effect

• Pride ruled him,
• Greed lured him,
• Jealousy fueled him and
• Anger fired him..

With no second thought, he allowed his

• Money,
• Energy,
• Authority and
• Muscle Power

Push him up and up, leaving the deserving ones far behind..

And to take the Blessings, he entered the temple that evening and offered his elaborate Prayers to God..

The Deity looked all silent..

There was a Sacred Message floating around..

• "When the self becomes too much with you apply the following test.. 

• Recall the face of the poorest or the weakest man/woman whom you may have seen and ask yourself, if the step you are going to contemplate is going to be of any use to him/her.. 

• Will he/she gain anything out of it? In other words.. 

• Will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions!"
