Ignorance personified

Today's Civilization is in the strong grip of ignorance. Ignorance means not with material ignorance , but ignorance about true nature of life , using and maintaining this all important human form of life. The basic definition of life has become to enjoy life as much as you can at anybodys and every body's expense. People have become arrogant in their dealings, most of them have a smiling face and a polite gesture outwardly but from inside the story is altogether opposite. This is the effect of this age called Kali yuga in the vedice literatures, these things are very correctly pointed out in Srimad Bhagvatam about this age. In Srimad Bhagvatam it states people in this age , will have a short life span and over the years it will become shorter, good qualities ,like , tolerance, mercy, truthfulness will diminsh, and everyone will cheat each other for money, people with money will be considered well cultured and many more things, which are already true in todays age.

It is very unfortunate , that parents have lost control on their own desires and hence are incapable of controlling their children. Parents them selves are indulging in smoking , drinking , illicit sex etc, which naturally influences the child.
Today parents thing satisfying the material desires of a child who is not even aware of good and bad things is showing and expressing their love for their child, but the fact is that this kind of love is weakness , and is only spoiling your children rather than making them responsible individuals.
I have seen such children who now are at the age of 25 -26 and they are totally lost in their material desires, as soon as they get some money they think of spending it for fun, by drinking , smoking and partying , not worrying about the consequences, Having being pampered from the childhood, they have become arrogant and disrespectful to others , which makes them selfish . At the time when they are in thier prime , these moments are happy moments, but , it is a fact that they are ignorant that they are creating troubles for their entire life.

This happens due to lack of restriction on the child's desires , which grows further and takes form of a conviction a mentality of life in the child's mind. It is therefore , very important to educate parents on the science of selfcontrol as stated in Bhagvat Gita , so that they can control and chanelize their chilrens life , inorder to make them human beings.

It has become a norm now a days to speak with each other in a scarcastic tone and try to blame others for all the misahaps and never look at ones own mistake. This is a very dangerous situation and it should be taken seriously by everyone. Hence this age old wisdom of Bhagvat Gita is so very important and essential in every home .
