Feeling and reason usually and mutually counteract each other; when emotion gets the upper hand, reason flies out of the head, and when reason prevails, such feelings as fear, craving and so forth all give way. Parental love is a natural feeling but if it is carried to excess, one would not be able to understand the youngsters and their conduct correctly. Again, if patriotism bursts out for no cause, it would become chauvinistic, fanatic and calamitous. Whatever is overdone are foolish and blind act. Therefore on no account should we allow emotions to get the better of us.
In science, in view of inadequate usual power of human eyes, we have to depend on our imagination to help us visualize the structure of atoms, the movement of celestral body, transmision of electrc waves etc.
In the same way, in LIFE we have to depend on our imagination to help us visualize the perceptions of the society taking into account the past and present events. Meditation is the means of higher degree of imagination. Practice of meditation on LOVE FOR THE MANKIND AS A WHOLE allows us to do things in a reasonably steady pace avoiding any possible negative impact on the society. When there is no negative impact peace and harmony prevail in the society. Perfection in complte sense may not be possible but striving for perfection brings a BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE.
