FOUR-SQUARE FAÇADE FOCUSSED ON FATHER.

with special reference to:-

COMMUNAL COMMUNION WITH THE CREATOR.

ONCE his immediate wants were satisfied, and a modicum of physical well-being, and social security were secured, man yielded to his natural predilection of speculative thought, and wondered what it was all about: ‘Who was he ?

From where did he come ? Whither was he going? Who made him? Who made the world? And where was HE, who made the world? Did HE make more than one world? Who made the SUN, the MOON, the WIND, the OCEAN, and the SKY?.........’ And in the course of his life, man came across OLD AGE, SICKNESS, AND DEATH. He came across LOVE and the ecstasies of the joys of love; Friendship and the happy glow of the warmth of friendship. He came across Greed and Delusion, Anger and Hatred, Lust and Fear. He came across the love of the Immediate Ephemeral, with its passing joys, its flitting glitters, and the sorrow of its passing. He speculated on The Eternal, Sublime and Glorious, Guiding Light and Lustrous Delight, beckoning dimly from a distance, demanding a sacrifice, and a renunciation of the ephemeral, a disciplining of the soul, before It would become a tangible and fulfilling experience. 

The embodied Jeeva is like a bottled quantum of elixir cast into an ocean of elixir. There are many such bottles so cast into the ocean by a playful Divinity.

The ocean is also subject to the play of waves, and unseen sub-surface currents. These bottles then, sometimes bump into one another, and move about together for a time, to be tossed apart later; perhaps to meet again, perhaps not. Sometimes too the bottles clash – one group against another; - or even an isolated bottle against another, and get broken in the clash. Often the bottles are helpless in these movements, though they may be under the elusion that they are independent in their volition, sometimes the elixir, imprisoned, (or housed and protected, according to the point of view, ) in the bottle, may have become somewhat ripe and mature, and so eager and able to participate in the movements of the ocean. Such bottles possibly enjoy a modicum of discretion in their volition.
