In conclusion: Dreams are of infinite types. They are auspicious as well as inauspicious. Some dreams forebode the good or bad incidents of future and others are without any such indications. They have been classified as physical, divine, material, spiritual and other many types. A man can see dreams during the night and also during the day if he sleeps. It is not necessary that he dreams every night. Some night he dreams and on others he does not.
It is also mentioned in the works on dream-divining that a dream seen during the first quarter of night gives result of its indications in one year. One seen during the second quarter does so within six months. One seen during the third quarter does so within three months. And the one seen during the last quarter does so within 7-8 days, In brief the world of dreams is very strange and astonishing.
2. DESCRIPTION OF MARRIAGE An Essential Tradition
Marriage is a necessary and essential human tradition. It has its beginnings in remote ancient times. It is prevalent in civilized as well as uncivilized societies.
Importance
Marriage is important from all angles including sociological, psychological, social, as well as religious (the social religion).
According to sociologists, the institution of marriage is helpful in the organization and development of a society. It is the cause of formation of a family. In their joint form, in families live together many married couples, uncles, aunts and elders sharing love and affection. Children are brought up properly with comparative ease and discipline and good habits can be imparted to them.
The social viewpoint also spells out almost the same utilities of marriage. However, it expands its field of influence to village, city, state and nation. The justification being that a well knit world society impregnated with virtues can help attain the goal of world peace. In other words a well organized and virtuous society is the foundation of world peace.
Psychologists explain the utility of the institution of marriage keeping human mind as the focal point. Their viewpoint is individualistic. They say that sex and reproduction are basic instincts of both man and woman. It is essential to satisfy this natural urge otherwise there are chances of adverse effects on the normal physical, mental and psychological development of human beings. And the best and simplest method of satisfying this urge is marriage.
