subject: Cling to the Root [print this page] We are heading towards a better future but can we forget our age old traditions? Though there is a trend to keep aside the Tradition and hug something new in the pretext that ours is nothing but old and replete with superstitious beliefs and taboos. It is Static where as theirs is Agile and always on the move. But I think it This is nothing but a blunder to shun the culture that we own. The nations who have shown disgust to their Culture and Tradition are bound to suffer sheer catastrophe. Hence if we want to be Happy we must cling to the Root.

The sun of knowledge shines brightly in their life and they are blessed with the If Target Happiness is the motto then a well knit Society must be built where there would be no discrimination of caste, creed and color. If such a Society is ever made people always live with eternal Happiness. But without brooding over the Tradition if one wants to march forward, if hesitates to Cling to the Root one must suffer in the long run from acute Unhappiness.

Yes there it was in the severe form, but Happiness was not stolen from the souls of people. People had not o consult a Psychiatrist every now and then. Happiness was there replete with every object. What is the reason behind that? Yes, those people never swayed. They were keen to cling to the Root.
