The nation belongs to all.
Malaysia is a sacred and glorious country. It is our good fortune to be born in this land. You should realize the truth of the saying. "As you sow, so shall you reap." Hence all your actions should be pure and noble and such as would promote the well-being of nation and give you joy.
The entire gamut of human life-birth, growth and death is governed by our action. All the joy and sorrows man experiences, all his sins and merits, all the praise and blame he gets, flow from his actions. Man is thus bound by the operation of his deeds. Not realizing the relationship between; cause and effect, man indulges in actions which give pleasure for the moment. Please remember! When man reaps the consequences of his bad actions, he is immersed in misery.
Hence, before undertaking any action man has to follow the very sacred of the
scriptures that deal with God, man and universe. He should pray that he should be endowed with the strength and competence to perform good deeds which will produced good results.
The consequences of every action are implicit in the action itself. For instance;
There is a small seed. Its entire capacity
to grow into a big tree is
latent within it. The seed contains within it the potentiality of growing
into a tree with branches, flowers and fruits. There is an interval between
the planting of seed in the ground and its growing into a full fledged
tree.
Man has to realize the preciousness of human birth. It is highly unfortunate that people born in Malaysia do not realize that greatness of our culture. Please bear in mind...Wisdom are based on action.Wisdom is the fruit of action.
People are making no effort to understand the place of Right Actions in life. Everything that happens is the result of some action. Everything in creation is based upon action. Whether one believe in it or not.
Here is an example:
You feel hungry, The hunger is appeased after you take food. But there is a chain of events like putting the food in the mouth, masticating it sending it to the stomach, digesting it and distributing it to all parts of the body. After all these processes is hunger relieved. Taking food is action, relieving of hunger is the fruit of the action.
But between the action and the fruit, a number of events take place...please remember! These events may be immediate or spread over many years, or lifetimes. But the fruits of action are bound to be realized sometime or other. Therefore all actions have to be done in the right way. People should engage themselves in noble deeds and same as an ideal example to the nation.
For all the troubles and chaos in the world today it is our actions that are responsible. There is no meaning in blaming others. People should realized that bad thoughts in the mind affect every part of the human body,...just as a small stone cast on a pond generates ripples which cover the entire pond. Similarly good thoughts affect the entire body. Good thoughts lead to good actions, good speech, good hearing and seeing good things. When the thoughts are bad, the consequent action are equally bad.
But today, while we have considerable talk about ideals, they are not reflected in practical living. The truth of the Law of Action an Reaction can be verified from a simple experience. If you stand before a mirror, the image returns to you. If you assume a threatening posture before the mirror, the image reflects back in the same manner. Reflection, reaction and resound are three aspects of how actions operates. Each person suffers from the consequences of his own actions. How can any one escape the consequences of his actions? If this fact is realized men will not find fault with others, or blame others for their troubles.
The nation belongs to all. This truth should not be forgotten. Many people are undermining the reputation of this country by their actions. This amount to treason to the nation. All must protect the honour of the nation. They should united.
"Let us all live and strive together in harmony."
If people act together in concert, the nation will shine in all its glory, there is nothing they cannot achieve. Determination and unity are essential.

Coming Topic: - "SPIRITUAL QUEST AND THE
REVELATION OF SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE" -
Man has to cultivate the spirit of inquiry. Man must live up to his convictions. Thinking, discriminating and practice - all three constitute the basic human characteristics. By the unity of these three, the light of (Spiritual Wisdom) illumines the heart. The mere presence of the light is not enough. We should seek to go forward with the help of that illumination. If, having this light we do not follow the path by it, we are as unseeing as the blind.
Books are not intended merely to be read. Sacred scriptures like Quran. The Bible, the Vedhas, the Granth Saheb and others are worshipped in shrines today. But no attempt is made to live up to their teachings.
"People are forgetting the purposes of
which these sacred books came into existence."
By a mere study of books no change can take place in our lives. What is studied must be put into practice. This means that it is not enough to browse through a book but one must study it...deeply, reflect on its contents and absorb its meaning so that one can practice. That is why all religious books have emphasized the doctrine of action. The entire universe is governed by action. In such context there is no purpose in indulging in intellectual speculation without putting knowledge into practice.
If thoughts are not translated into deeds they will develop into a kind of disease. A man who feels hungry and craves for food, if he does not get it, he will develop illness. Similarly, a man who feels thirsty and wants water, unless he makes efforts to secure water, he will become weak and collapse.
There are many examples to illustrate this truth.
You read many books and engage yourself in many devotional activities. You must ask yourself how far these studies and actions have helped to transform your lives. You will find that there has been no significant change.
It is because you do not seek that which should be sought, do not experience that which has to be experienced, you are plunged in grief and do not have peace of mind.
No spiritual effort is possible when one has dissipated one's physical and mental abilities. It is pity that people misuse these precious of their lives by falling into bad ways. So readers I expects you to develop all your human endowments and lead exemplary lives which will be an object-lesson to others by understanding the real meaning of the spiritual quest and do not regard the body as an end in itself.
Dear readers! Please follow attentively and deeply reflects on its contains and absorb its meaning, read repeatedly until it is digested.
Pertaining the following subject and please forward to the needed one who is blinded by ignorance.
