People travel into the sky and soar to the

very heights of the empty skies. They dive

into the depths of the ocean; and in many
other ways, people are doing incredible
things. With the help of science and
technology, they are discovering and
inventing things which were not
previously accessible to common human
beings. They are making every effort to
learn and understand several phenomena
but are only partially succeeding in this
objective. In fact, people are inventing
complicated and sophisticated computers
and machines, and through these are
trying to conquer the universe. After
acquiring all these strengths and
capacities, if people do not have the
wisdom to use them well for their
happiness and peaceful living, all these
inventions become useless.
