WISE ONE

WISE ONE


1HUMMMMM, a wise one is one versed in knowledge, human and divine and carrying out in practical conduct the right course in life to the utmost of his/her power. His/Her knowledge is correct and practical , but not necessarily complete, the conception of a human of heroic action as well as of deep and workman-like knowledge of nature and human nature, not merely dream or speculation. Do not misread the true signs of the times, intangible signs conveyed by History and Revelation.

2HUMMMMM, human has the faculty to subdue the forces of nature and to penetrate through high mysteries with human powers of reason and insight, safeguarded in the universe. In all things be moderate. Do not go the pace, and do not be stationary or slow. Do not be talkative and do not be silent. Do not be loud and do not be timid or half-hearted. Do not be too confident, and do not be cowed down. If you have patience, it is to give you constancy and determination that you may bravely carry on the struggle of life. If you have humility, it is to save you from unseemly swagger, not to curb your right spirit and your reasoned determination. Do not play with time nor be deceived by appearances.

3HUMMMMM, human fear each other as equals in a state of society at perpetual warfare. To remove this fear they appoint an authority among themselves –sovereign authority whom they consider just –to preserve them from this fear and give them an established order. But they must obey and revere this authority and depend upon this authority for their own tranquillity and security. Even with their equals there is always the fear of public opinion. Be kind, considerate, and courteous to parents and those in authority. All unlawful grasping of wealth at other people’s expense; economic selfishness and many kinds of sharp practices, individual, national, and international is condemned. True human wisdom is also divine wisdom; the two cannot be separated.

4HUMMMMM, winds cool and purify the air, and brings blessings of rain, which fertilises the soil. Winds help international commerce and intercourse among human through sea-ways and air-ways. Perish not in the storms, take advantage of winds and prosper. Be enlightened, acquire knowledge, make use of your intellects and do not be swayed by your passions. Be guided, as you are patient of control; and the fruits of revelation. Do not against good and eschew evil. There is constant progress for the live ones.

5HUMMMMM, gather knowledge, form judgment, and cultivate goodness. As man’s intellectual gaze over the physical world expands, he sees more and more how unity is the dominating note in the universe. The fundamental guide to good conduct, the clear rules laid down in all dispensation to help human to lead good lives. Regulate your life according to needs and circumstances. Punctilious self-respect and respect for others in small things as well as great are the key-notes in simple rules of etiquette. Make your individual, domestic, and social life all contribute to your holiness. Take human precautions and do all in your power to protect yourselves from evil.

6HUMMMMM, the light is a source of enlightenment which depends upon the perceiving faculty or intelligence. There is no darkness as intense as the darkness of not-being. A dark thing is called dark simply because it cannot appear to anyone’s vision; it never comes to exist for sight, though it may exist in itself. But that which has no existence for others nor for itself, is assuredly the very extreme of darkness. Know the nature of the Truth as against the false fancies of men.

7HUMMMMM, a home brings before human minds a picture of peace and happiness. When to it are added honour and hospitality it adds further to the idea of happiness. Bring up your family in righteousness and lead in all good. Give a lead for truth and righteousness, and give a wide berth to falsehood and to futility.

8HUMMMMM, 0 ye thinkers and reformers of the age, do not murmur and repine if your first plan seems to fail, but retrieve the position by adopting a course which appears to be the best possible in the light of your duties. You are light to illuminate the whole world, diffusing light everywhere.

WONDERS OF NATURE

WONDERS OF NATURE


1HUMMMMM, there are countless millions of stars in the universe. The first step in astronomical knowledge is to find the marvellous order, beauty, and harmony, on a scale of grandeur. The first broad belt is the Zodiac, which marks the sun’s path through the heavens year after year and the limit of the wanderings of the moon and the planets. Twelve divisions of it are called signs of the Zodiac. Each marks the solar path through the heavens as it is seen, month after month. Thus the seasons can be marked off in solar year, and express in definite laws the most important facts in meteorology, agriculture, seasonal winds and tides. Then there are the mansions of the moon, the mapping out of the constellations, and the other marvellous facts of the heavens, some of which affect human physical life on this earth.

2HUMMMMM, winds are powerful factors in the government of the physical world. Winds come gently as harbingers of the blessings of rain and fertility; winds can come as violent tornadoes, uprooting and destroying; winds can scatter seeds far and wide, and winds can separate chaff from grain, or clear the air from epidemics; and winds literally carry sound, and therefore messages. Observe the orderly flight of migratory birds or the regulated behaviour of ants, bees, and other creatures who live in communities, certainly they have means of communication with each other. The flight of birds is one of the most beautiful and wonderful things in nature. The make and arrangement of their feathers and bones, and their stream-line shapes, from beak to tail, are instances of purposive adaptation. Birds soar with outstretched wings; they dart about with folded wings; their motions upwards and downwards, as well as their stabilisation in the air, and when they rest on their feet, have given many ideas to man in the science and art of aeronautics.

3HUMMMMM, see clouds effects: thin clouds floating about in fantastic shapes, joining together and taking body and substance, then emerging as heavy clouds heaped up, which condense and pour forth their rain. Then the heavy dark clouds in the upper regions, that bring hail, - how distinct and yet how similar! They are truly like mountain masses! And when the hailstones fall, how local their area! It hits some localities and leaves free others almost interlaced! And the lightning – how blinding flashes come from thunderous clouds! Contemplate the wonder and mystery of the skies with all the countless beautiful stars and planets and lights in them, and laws of order, motion, and symmetry, that respond to the highest mathematical abstractions without a flaw.

4HUMMMMM, the great salt Ocean with its seas and gulfs is one: and the great masses of sweet water in rivers, lakes, ponds, and underground springs are also one: and each is connected with the other by the constant circulation going on, which sucks up vapours, carries them about in clouds or atmospheric moisture, and again brings them condensed into water or snow or hail to mingle with rivers and streams and get back into the Ocean. Both from the sea and from rivers and lakes human get fish, of which some kinds have a flesh particularly fresh and tenders, and of a most delicate flavour and marine creatures of all kinds. Human get the treasures of the deep: pearls, coral, amber, and such delicately tinted stones as the carnelian, the agate, the goldstone, or other varieties of quartz pebbles found in river beds, and considered as gems.

5HUMMMMM, the biggest factor affecting human in the external physical world is the light, heat, and electric or magnetic energy of the sun: the sun is the source of all the light, heat, and energy, and indeed the source and support of all the physical life. It is the biggest factor and yet most remote from human in solar system. The sun as the centre of human solar system also stands as a symbol of the present order of things. The mystery of the heavens with their countless stars and the planets obeying the laws of motion, and the sun and moon influencing the temperature and climates of the earth from thousands or millions of miles, illustrate the order and perfection in creation. The physical forces will also break up with the break-up of the sun.

6HUMMMMM, there are wonderful things in the universal creation on earth – the Grand Canyon and the Niagara in America, beautiful harbours like that at Sydney in Australia, mountains like Fujiyama, Himalayas, and Elburn in Asia, the Nile with its wonderful cataracts in Africa, the Fjords of Norway, the Geysers of Iceland, the city of the midnight’s sun in Tromsoe, and innumerable wonders everywhere. Wonders upon wonders are disclosed in the constitution of matter itself, the atom, and the forces of energy, as also in the instincts of animals, and the minds and capacities of human. Worlds upon worlds are created and transformed every moment, within and presumably beyond human’s vision. Can human judge of the unknown from what they know?

7HUMMMMM, an ignorant man may think that water absorbed in the soil or seed sown beneath the sod is lost, but it replenishes numerous rills and streams, and feeds and sustain numerous roots and forms of life, and throws up all kinds of vegetable life. So with things that come out of the earth: who can count the myriad forms of herbs and trees that grow and perish, and yet sustain a continuous life for ages and ages? See the artistry of production from rain the wonderful variety of crops and fruits – golden, green, red, yellow, and showing all most beautiful tints human can think of. And each undergoes in nature the gradual shading off in transformation from the raw stage to the stage of maturity.

8HUMMMMM, wonderful colours and shades of colours are found in rocks and mineral products – the white veins of marble and quartz or of chalk, the red laterite, the blue basaltic rocks, the ink-black flints, and all the variety, shade, and gradation of colours. ‘Azure hue’ of mountains from a distance due to atmospheric effects, and these atmospheric effects lead human thoughts to the glories of clouds, sunsets, the zodiacal light, the aurora borealis, and all kinds of nature’s gorgeous pageantry. In outer nature human can, through colours, understand and appreciate the finest shades and gradations.

9HUMMMMM, there is nothing more certain in the world; physical, moral, and spiritual, than that every cause, great or small, must have its corresponding consequences. A record is more enduring than memory: in fact (if properly preserved) it is perpetual. If, further, it is expressed in clear language, without any obscurity, it can always be read with perfect precision and without any doubt whatever. The cosmic laws are just and inevitable.

MYSTERY OF LIFE

MYSTERY OF LIFE


1HUMMMMM, a code of the mystery of human’s life. From dead matter creative act produces life and living matter. Life and living matter again seem to reach maturity and again die. No material thing seems to have perpetual life and the cycle of life and death seems to go on. The earth itself, seemingly so inert, produces vegetable life at once from a single shower of rain, and in various ways sustains animal life. Normally it seems to die in the winter in northern climates, and in a drought everywhere, and the spring revives it in all its glory. Human physical life depends on the earth for its produce and the sky for rain, the heat of the sun, and other phenomena of nature. Rain and gifts of nature and the daily, seasonal, and secular changes are evidences of living.

2HUMMMMM, the first beginnings of social life arise through sex and love. Children arise out of the union of the sexes. And it is always the female sex that brings forth the offspring, whether female or male. And the father is as necessary as the mother for bringing forth daughters. Unregenerate man is pugnacious in the male sex, but rest and tranquillity are found in the normal relations of a father and mother dwelling together and bring up a family. The variety of forms and habits among animals is adapted to their various modes of life and stages of biological evolution.

3HUMMMMM, mind and soul (being) are used to compass the farthest reaches of Time and Space. Mankind are in different climates and countries; external conditions, and developed different languages and different shades of complexions. And yet their basic unity remains unaltered and they feel in the same way, unity beneath the diversity can be realised by extended knowledge. There are the variations in time. Old languages die out and new ones are evolved. New condition of life and thought are constantly evolving new words and expressions, new syntactical structures, and new modes of pronunciation. Even old races die, and new races are born.

4HUMMMMM, teaching and guidance, to which human must hearken. For their psychological conditions, sleep, rest, visions and insight; sleep and dreams, the refreshment human get from sleep to wakefulness as well as from wakefulness to sleep, as also the state of human thoughts and feelings and sub-conscious self in these conditions are both wonderful and mysterious. These processes suggest a background of things, an origin and destiny which is a subjective starting point. (Sleep is the cessation of the working of the nervous system, though other animal functions, such as digestion, growth, and the circulation of the blood, continue. Sleep is the repose of the nervous system, and in this respect it is common to the living. The mental processes (and certainly volition) are also suspended in sleep, except that in ordinary dreams there is a medley of recollections, which often present vividly to human consciousness things that do not or cannot happen in nature as human know it in their coordinated minds. But there is another kind of dream which is rarer – one in which the dreamer sees things as they actually happen, backwards or forwards in time.)

5HUMMMMM, do not against the laws of all nature. Yes you are gifted with great intelligence and skill and so proud of your material civilisation. The greatest material civilisation and resources may not save you from the destruction of a rain of brimstone with possibly an earthquake and a volcanic eruption. To cowards lightning and thunder appear as terrible forces of nature; lightning seems to kill and destroy where its irresistible progress is not assisted by proper lightning-conductors. But lightning is also a herald of rain bearing clouds and showers that bring fertility and prosperity in their train. Your intelligence should keep you straight and obey moral laws.

6HUMMMMM, do not build your hopes on flimsy unsubstantial things (like the spider’s web) which are broken by a thousand chance attacks of wind and weather or the actions of animals or human. Spider’s house is made up of fine silk threads spun out of silk glands in the spider’s body. There are many kinds of spiders and many kinds of spider’s houses. There is spider’s residential or family mansion which is the tubular nest or web, a silk-lined house or burrow with one or two trap doors. There is spider’s hunting box, a spider’s web, consisting of a central point with radiating threads running in all directions and acting as tie-beams to the quasi-circular concentric threads that form the body of the web. The whole structure exemplifies economy in time, material and strength. A spider always has a single thread connecting him with his web, to keep him in telephonic communication. The spider’s threads are very strong from the point of view of relativity, but in an actual world they are flimsy. The spider’s most cunning architecture cannot stand against a wave of a man’s hand. His poison glands are like the hidden poison, in this beautify worldly plans which may take various shapes but have seeds of death in them.
There are human’s frailty, false hopes, questionable motives, the mischief done by the neglect of Truth, and the way out for those who have entangled themselves in the snares of Evil. It is to get out of the spider’s web of this frail world and fulfil.

7HUMMMMM, it is to purge you of anything (act, plan, thought, motive, words) of which you should be ashamed or which would work injustice to others. Passing into your inmost life and being, for then justice can be upheld. Finding true common grounds of belief and to show by human’s urbanity, kindness, sincerity, truth, and genuine anxiety for the good of others, that you are not cranks or merely seeking selfish or questionable aims. Some men preach vicarious atonement, for, if followed to its logical conclusion, it means both injustice and irresponsibility, and puts quite a different complexion on the nature of sin in moral laws.
