Hidup adalah "pengembaraan atau penziarahan ke tempat kesucian". Bukan bersifat kekakuan, malah sangat dinamik. Ia sentiasa mengalir ke arah yang tidak diketahuinya. Oleh kerana kita sentiasa hidup dalam ketakutan, maka kita bergantunglah kepada apa yang telah kita ketahui dan tidak membenarkan hidup itu terus mengalir, langsung tidak hendak memberinya kebebasan untuk menjengah dan menjenguk ke alam yang tidak pernah diketahuinya, ke 'LAUTAN YANG MAHA LUAS', agar ia dapat menari-nari dengan ombak dan badai kegeloraan. Hidup ini umpama "sungai-sungai yang sedang mengalir deras". Tetapi kita yang menukarkannya menjadi "sebuah perigi".
Menukarkan sebuah lautan kepada sebuah perigi adalah "kaku dan kematian". Hidup yang kekal sebagai sebuah "sungai atau lautan" adalah "penghidupan yang sentiasa mengalir menyahut cabaran yang sentiasa menanti di hadapan".
Sebuah 'perigi' tidak akan mengalir ke mana-mana, "Seperti Katak Di Bawah Tempurung". Semakin hari ia semakin kering, kotor, berlumpur, berbau busuk. Kerana kekakuan itulah ia menjadi 'perigi buta'. Begitulah corak penghidupan orang-orang yang kaku dan tidak mahu mengalir. Air sungai yang mengalir adalah bersih, suci, boleh dihirup, boleh diminum, penuh keseronokan dan kenikmatan, kerana ada saja sesuatu yang tidak diduga yang menanti kita di hadapan.
Ternanti-nanti, tertunggu-tunggu apakah yang akan datang dan berlaku selepas ini? Ingat! Setiap saat 'hidup' itu akan menerjah dengan sesuatu yang mengejut dan memeranjatkan.
Suatu kejutan yang tidak pernah berakhir, suatu kejutan bagaikan menanti dan menunggu sesuatu. Suatu misteri yang tidak pernah diketahui awal dan akhirnya.
Namun kita mesti tetap menjadi "sungai atau lautan yang terus saja mengalir ke lautan Ketuhanan, tanpa cemas, takut, dan gelisah". Tanpa mengharap dan pergantungan selain 'DIA'. Teruskan pengaliran, jangan biarkan diri itu "beku, kaku, dan berlopak tidak mengalir".
Kekalkan sikap dinamik, segar, remaja, walaupun tubuh itu akan terus tua, namun "semangat dan roh tetap tidak tua". Ia akan cepat tua jikalau kita membenarkannya dan perlu diingat dan diketahui;
"Kematian bukan suatu kesudahan, malah ia suatu permulaan, suatu pintu yang terbuka luas ke langit biru, bebas dari kesengsaraan, terpenjara dan terbelenggu".

GOOD MOTHERS ARE NATION'S PRIDE
From time immemorial, women of Malaysia by their adherence to ideals have bestowed joy on this land and so occupy an exalted position. Women embody the aspect of Mother Nature and found solutions to problems in life by recognizing this truth.
What is the cause for misery, conflict and suffering in the world today? It is the absence of purity in the hearts of men and women. Please remember!
The behaviour of men and women is responsible for the rise or fall of a nation.
The country would not lack in anything, if there are men and women with pure hearts. But today hearts are completely polluted.
For instance :
Here is a piece of pure white paper. But what is written on one side makes it appear dirty. So too is the case with man's heart. Dirty feelings pollute it... Newspaper of today becomes a waste paper tomorrow. The paper by itself does not have any smell.
The same paper when used to pack roses flowers smells of them: It will smell even of dry fish if it is used to pack them.
When the heart is purified, it shines with compassion. Bad feelings and bad thoughts pollute the heart of man.
Ever since ancient times, women have maintained the hearts pure. Women of such exalted character have set great ideals of women hood.
Today's society is polluted because there is no encouragement for women to cultivate such high ideals. In modern times the ways of life are so perverted that only evil thoughts, evil feelings and evil behaviour rule the roost.
The Organizations of Women have achieved many great things, but men do not recognize their good work. Women are capable of ruling the nations and even the world if they make up their minds. Men should not consider women are mere slaves. Today our country is on the downslide because we take our women very lightly.
There is nothing in this world that women cannot achieve. Recognizing the nature of such women we must encourage them and give than equal opportunities in society. No such encouragement is being given today. Men do not tolerate women joining together for a good cause in an organization. Because of their own selfish interest. Men are unable to recognize the good that women can do to the society.
Generally the women are selfless. Their hearts are full of compassion and love. They take a lot of pains to bring up children on the right path, a task that is almost impossible for men.
"Mother plays a very important role in shaping the character of a child":
The contemporary education is largely responsible for the: "gradual deterioration" of children's behaviour. Nowadays children are being thought all types of wrong terminology.
In earlier days, children used to welcome guests in their homes with humility and reverence. Whereas these qualities are missing nowadays. Today's children aspire for wealth power and friendship but not for character.
What is the use of wealth, power and friendship bereft of character?
Please remember!
Money comes and goes but one must teach them morality and righteousness.
Earlier, children were taught such sacred values.
Today, parents want their children to pursue higher studies and become great, whereas earlier, parents preffered their children to be good rather than becoming great.
You ladies out there... You are the future citizens and future parents of this country. Develop sacred qualities and undertake sacred activities. Only then will your lives become sacred.
Remember! Human life is most precious. The value of woman cannot be estimated or compared. Who attaches value to gold and diamonds? It is because of woman that gold and diamonds have acquired value.
"You men and women are more valuable than all the wealth of the world."
So, do not lose your value by indulging in selfish deeds.
"Fish is better than selfish"
Fish clears the water of its dirts, but the selfish man and woman pollutes the society as he lives in it. My advise, undertake selfless actions. Only then are you fit to be called a human being.
