Time is incessantly advancing to give an opportunity to those who relentlessly try to put work in place and place in work. People can emulate these rules of time both as adults and as old ones. Once born, it is imminent for a person to know that the world is his or her property. Those who sleep off all the time won’t be able to safeguard this property. If time slips off when man is asleep, it will never come back. Even light waits to observe a person busy in work. Those who are no more went away having taught us how to work. It is a universal fact that we cannot survive without working. It depends on one’s interest where his or her pole is to be shown from: from the earth, or from the sky. The most crucial is the thought that people should commit to stay working. It is such busy people who wrote works like Doctor Zhivago or the Mahabharat. It’s such people who discovered America. It is always wise for the settlers of the earth to find where their surest stay is. Big hearts can accomplish big tasks. It is work that shows how big one’s heart is. Those who do not engage themselves in work are often eclipsed by their own shadows. It is unwise to drag a shadow even while approaching death. Those who are unable to leave some message for the world won’t be able to leave anything behind, though they are aware of this fact. Even children wait to receive something from their parents. Even the disabled, dishonored and the sorrowful people are expectant of something from the world. It is needless for people to land on earth if they are going to abandon it in a state of helplessness, disgrace and sorrow. Those who are articulate should never think they alone have voice and others do not. One should not set out on world tour, leaving the country in poverty and leaving others shut up in confinements. The voice of the earth will not find completion unless it is translated into action. Chances might make someone high in rank, but we need to see what his actions speak and where. It is easy for people to make others call them prominent and great, but it is quite difficult to live the life of greatness. It is not easy to point out strengths and weaknesses of people’s actions at the same time. Those who work or write should see when beautiful feelings appear appealing. If actions do not promise beautiful thoughts, one need not come on the stage. At a time when one has no guts to come on the stage, it is unwise to feign many a thing. The exhibition of good things is action, not a mere show. Those who take to action should know which feeling of which particular age they should safeguard. It has been long since the earth started waiting for peace. It has been long it has waited for security. Equally long has been the time the show started taking place on the stage. If things are to be enacted onstage, they should emulate noble acts. Those who dismiss the necessity of performing Ram’s action need not abduct Sita. Since life is action, one should not stay idle and push life into the hands of death. Death is not the ultimate stay of life. Great people place all their honors in life and place they live on earth. Time has hands that can safeguard all actions. Writers, who move together with time, also have such hands. Those who are unable to act are lost in frustration. It also is a duty of writers to find out people in action, and present them before humanity. It also is the responsibility of those who have feelings. It is the amalgamation of actions and feelings that has kept the world protected. In order to see the world living, it is imminent for us to keep human dreams alive both day and night. In the world, we need not make our actions transitory. Since time immemorial, the human has been seeking for an eternal place. It is seeking for writers.
