Spiritual Meditations
THE GREAT TEACHERS OF HUMANITY
I cannot possibly do justice to the vast topic but will still try to briefly examine the role of various teachers across many ages: their general characteristics, their mode of teaching, their impact on humanity. Finally I will try to seek the way forward as in our time the humanity seems to be at crossroads. Self-styled followers of one great teacher are poised against those of some other. The scenario is not only confusing but is also suffocating to any person who believes in fairness of creation. The destiny of the planet earth seems to be compromised with the numerous issues gone out of hand and some quickly slipping away. Global warming, depleting ozone layer, receding glaciers, drying rivers, dwindling forests and its wild life plus proactive man-made disasters like sectarian hatred, devastation caused by political hegemony, nuclear race, terrorism, injustice -- all seem to engulf humanity. Organized religious syndicates have created havoc in the name of purification of faith. Religiousness has almost replaced spirituality and empathy for the fellow humans and other fauna and flora of the earth seems to have taken leave.
