________________ Lofty Goal When man has no lofty goal in life, he dissipates his energy in sensuous living. And through an excess of such voluptuous living, the humanity deep within him is turned into naked bestiality. Then degeneration and defilement display their brutish pride through every nook and corner of this world! Beauty Loveliness that must rely on the appeal to external senses for its apprehension, is not beauty, but the forlorn ghost of desire and passion. Beauty, serene and immaculate, abides in the tranquil ecstasy of man's perfected consciousness—the consummate ecstasy that must be felt and visualized in the quietude of being when external senses are drowned in deep slumber! Actions Actions have a dual character: elevated and mean. Abject are the deeds perpetrated under an implicit craving of their fruitage. Ennobling, however, are actions inspired by an urge for fulfilment, untarnished by any craving for their fruition whatever !
