a man veiled by ego, pride and haughtiness, foolishly,
blindly both in mind and eyes though placed in high
position and status, for acquiring worldly benefits,
pleasures, fame and honor (which are transitory illusions),
drowned in the storm of mundane world, stoops to such
vicious and nefarious and wicked acts, by destroying and
distressing the innocent and weak persons without allowing
them to live in peace and comfort. In ripe time when it
cannot be tolerated by the Almighty, the egoism of a proud
man meets its end.
To quote narrow-minded, wicked, jealous and selfish
a man is, although born for a superior magnanimous, sacred
and selfless service and how he is bent upon in such
nefarious activities by his egoism, emotion with the mind set
at acquiring power, pomp fame, prosperity and false honor
stoops to an act of disgrace and disrepute brutally instead
of expanding his mind with his ideals with morals for purity,
sincerity and honesty with cherished ideals towards the uplift
of humanity, is well depicted and explained in the following
quotation.
An eagle, a far sighted bird (an eagle-eye) though gifted
fly so high in the sky, from such a high level, only casts its
eyes on ugly, stinking carcasses and corpses but does not
set its attention on superior and good things with its sharp
eyes, thus misusing the, gifted sight, towards ugly things
instead of lofty high ideals.
The curiosity of the nature created by the Almighty is
in that how ugly, wicked and unwanted creatures and
things are more abundantly made in the world, than useful
and good things which are comparatively far and few, is
explained by the realistic fact that in the jungles ferocious,
ravaging, and wild beasts like tiger, cheeta, jackals which
live on other weak, innocent and harmless creatures like
deer, stag, hare etc. are more in number, only to terrorise,
frighten and destroy the beauty and calm of the jungle,
filled with pretty, pleasant and harmless creatures. So is
the man with his ill-got wealth and power, who destroys
the weak and innocent persons.
These timers and cheetas etc. bring forth three or four
young ones at a time, what for, only to destroy the innocent
not to speak of the pigs in towns, bringing forth dozens at
a time ugly, nasty ones - the natural scavengers. You may
see a wide contrast here that the good, pretty, pleasing,
entertaining, beautifying and useful creatures like pigeons,
peacocks, parrots etc. and the swan of course a rare
specimen are not as abundant as those unwanted ones - to
make a particular mention of a quadruped cow,
worshipped as sacred and holy Kamadhenu- a most vital
and useful cow to mankind by its milk, so essential for
humans, whose usefulness is beyond description as
ordained by the Lord, delivers only one calf at a time. He
or she - both equally useful for mankind.
