High thinking well living
``Simple living’’ said the prophet Mohammed, `Sets my heart on higher thoughts’. There is a need to follow simplicity in our life. In today’s world of increasing pomp and show, when everybody is joining the rat race of displaying his wealth, we should prefer to life simply, with out any artificiality. Mahatma Gandhi’s life shows us that simplicity in life always encourages maturity of mind. Instead of wasting wealth in various socio religious ceremonies, we should be decent and undemonstrative. People who are really good need not show that they are good in the same manner, the sophistication of our life style needs no raw display of wealth, it would rather appear in our character or in the manner we carry ourselves. People who work hard are the best servants of humanity, live in a quiet frugal manner. We should consider it a sin to waste money when we are aware of the fact that millions of our compatriots are living below the poverty line, nowadays, in increasing consumerist culture, where everything is on sale. We should adhere to the simple way of life we want to preserve human attributes in us.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
Nature has bestowed man with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. It’s the result of this eagerness to know that we are enjoying so many boons of science of present. But this urge to explore and to know more is usually hampered by our laziness and feeling of self- sufficiency. Knowledge is desirable and should be achieved at any cost. But a little knowledge is certainly as good as having no knowledge. People with a little knowledge keep parading their knowledge. But a real knowledgeable man needs no praise and superficiality. Although it’s a common practice nowadays, to create much ado about nothing yet we should always keep in mind that they are empty vessels which make much noise. Minds full of knowledge never tries to show ff. a little knowledge is need a dangerous thing if it is accompanied by self-complacence. But if it’s tinged with a desire to learn more, then man can attain higher achievements and then even sky will be no limits.
