________________ Nirupam Kedia Money leaving behind the shadows full of Darkness The power of money is not a bad thing; instead one becomes liable to state his taste. But one losing his spirituality in the thirst of money is a mess. A nation holds the ground hard when it has a sound financial position, a rich economic structure. Still, those funds accumulated are utilized for the welfare of its dwellers. Nowadays, when there is a wide replacement in the habits of these omnivorous creatures, money with its drenching thirst is compelling them to act like a puppet. A man never tries to look back at his deed. In fact, he is unable to turn his head back, when he starts comparing those shiny papers of notes with the gracious heaven. The greed of money and snakebite are mostly similar, as both make the vision blind. Medicine can protect the bite of the reptile, but no drug can save a man covered under the curtain of greed. According to the facts, one can easily point out that the splashing and firing indifference in the human life-style is being caused by money. There are many families coming in the grip of money and are entangled amidst the neverending thirst, which resulted in cries of horror. (Isolation of near and dear ones, and moreover splitting up themselves into nuclear fonts.) शिक्षा एक यशस्वी दशक Jain Education International Religions, Caste etc. all hovering round the axis of money. People having a sound economic set up, think themselves as a supreme authority, with an ideology to lead the team. This new shinning millennium demands warm-blooded youths who can fight with the detoriating situation. Their own parents guide them, but some of the guiders are in such an immense grip of money that they have, commenced to slide bars between, giving birth to a son and a daughter. According to their perception, giving birth to a son means adding up of more numerical figures to their account books through his entrance in the business game play. On the other hand, they think that giving birth to a daughter subtracts the numerical from their account books. They worry about the incidental expenses for their own blood. Millions of people are paralyzed by the stroke of poverty. lack of basic amenities. Instead of wasting the valuable wealth and time, in different unwanted articles. one should utilize it in the upliftment of mass poverty. If this had happened, then what a nation we would have been dwelling in! The thirst of money is acting as a scavenger, aiming at the innocent human prey. We are becoming just puppet being scrolled by the eyes of wealth. People feel no pride in their religion, in God, in religious texts or in any of those ancient scripts, instead they even jump to different religions in the greed of getting money. You must have heard the tale of magic lamp, which didn't last longer as it got tired and restless by filling in the well like belly of his master. He didn't look up at the crippled faces of his native mates lying in the nauseating corners, instead used that precious lamp for his own betterment, pleasure, comfort and lavishness. Now it's enough, but this roar is still at the peak. Until and unless man gathers a unique sense of humanity, and a strong feeling of oneness, this colourful environment would lose all the attracting colours of a spectrum. Human heart should restore as much purity as it can, it will certainly help our planet to celebrate and shine like an everblowing serenity of this landscape.
