‘DUKHALAYAM ASASVATAM’
Photograph – A Pulitzer winner depicting a child in a famine hit area crawling towards her inevitable end and in the background a vulture waiting for her last breath.
DUKHALAYAM – Abode of miseries
ASASVATAM – Temporary (Non-permanent)
The description of the material world is summed up in the above two words by the Lord who Himself created it. And the practical proof is there for us to see all around us, all the time. It is an abode of miseries and everything, including so called happiness also, is temporary. Death-deterioration-degeneration-destruction-decay-degradation is the universal rule of the material world.
So much sufficies for this day - A start which is on a pessissimistic note but albeit realistic.
