DO WE KNOW THE REALITY? PLEASE READ!

We all take it for granted in everyday life and also complain about so many things, without remembering how lucky we are able to see as soon as we get up in the morning and able to walk, talk and see ourselves and about this wonderful creation as though we own everyrthing.
At the same time there are so many souls in different parts of this world would struggle to provide the basic requirements to themselves and their families at least in thousands if not in millions! Why this situation presents for some not for others. It is very difficult to give any valid reason this sort of situation. We can have our own conclusions.
The three essential things required for the basic survival of the living kingdom is of course, air, water and food in that order of importance. Even before these three essentials, there are even more essential things we require to have our survival. I am sure we all can guess what they are. They are nothing bur the 5 elements for the origin, sustenance and destruction namely Srushti, Sthiti and Laya done by Brahma, Vishnu & Maheswara with the help of their concerts, Saraswathi, Lakshmi and Parvathi or Mahakali who are derived from Adi Para Shakthi, who is the ultimate responsibility of everything in this universe to which some people name as BRAHMAN Not Brahmin we all know about.
The Five Elements are Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space which are interdependent in so many ways. These five elements are essential for our survival but we need an intelligent soul to use these to produce food, namely FARMER without whom we all cannot exist for long. Such is the importance of this farmer community from where, most of us come any where in the world from villages.
This year in 2009, there are so many parts of the world are waiting, doing prayers to have rain in time for all of us. The reason for lack of rains in some parts of the world India including is unknown in spite of the modern science!
let us see what TiruKural, revealed by Tiruvalluvar says about rain which is as follows

Kural 11
It is the unfailing fall of rain that sustains the world. Therefore, look upon rain as the nectar of life.
Kural 12
Rain produces man's wholesome food; and rain itself forms part of his food besides.
Kural 13
Though oceanic waters surround it, the world will be deluged by hunger's hardships if the billowing clouds betray us.
Kural 14
When clouds withhold their watery wealth, farmers cease to ply their plows.
Kural 15
It is rain that ruins, and it is rain again that raises up those it has ruined.
Kural 16
Unless raindrops fall from the sky, not a blade of green grass will rise from the earth.
Kural 17
The very nature of oceans, though vast, would diminish if clouds ceased to take up water and replenish rain's gifts.
Kural 18
Should the heavens dry up, worship here of the heavenly ones in festivals and daily rites would wither.
Kural 19
Unless the heavens grant their gifts, neither the giver's generosity nor the ascetic's detachment will grace this wide world.
Kural 20
No life on Earth can exist without water, and water's ceaseless flow cannot exist without rain.

Even when the five elements are kind and the farmers produce food for all, still thousands of unfortunate children are dying from starvation daily in front of our eyes without any faults of their own and we can appreciate how lucky we all are which we never bather even to think because of our busy schedules to become rich, richer and richest which has no measurement, by spending a few minutes to watch the reality in front of our own eyes which can shed a tear or two I guess!
