A wise acts according to the age, a fool acts according to the stage.
we often come across great personalities who have been called the "yug purusha"- the man of the era (age). seeing their journey in becoming the immortal forever a special pattern has been strikingly simple and similar. One can site examples from origin of life to present super fantabulous fast time age be it Lord Rama or Jesus or Prophet for today it be His holiness Dalai Lama or Mother Teresa. They all are timeless and they have a fourth dimension in themselves which makes us say that it was there Era when we mortals were on the earth. What has made them immortal is the need that they addressed in the time when no one could pay attention to the prevailing sufferings. The age can be named after such great people giving their more than life contribution to humanity. The light they throw in the darkness, the power they induce in the prayers of the sufferers , the calmness they bring about in the people so that they can rest at peace one fine day. Their mortal form may have vanished from this earth but the spirit is still alive; Christ was crucified and not the Christ spirit. The lessons to the mortals were more profoundly understood only after they could get themselves aware of the age they lived in.
Moreover, contrastingly the world has seen blunderers too. They acted in one act play: like Adolf Hitler, Like Edi Amin tyranny personified.. back in the past we named them as demons now they are more human of the form, The terrorist of the millennium May be called as Osama Bin Laden who has become the synonym of terror but the spirit is weak enough to lift the human souls to the height of agression and let them rule the world. Their spirits are not that powerful eventhough they are acting in accordance with the stage they set up. The end of the one act play of these blunderers is all devised and designed by them and hence it acts like a stage where the Age rules and the stage becomes merely unimportant to be remembered. There have been stories we all would have heard from out parents/ grand parents about their incidences during our freedom struggle of India, they will always cite examples of Mahatama Gandhi and not of Lord Curzon and his tryannical nature.
To immortalize on the psyche of the ones whom we have never met, seen or even thought of them is the quality of wise who are acting according to the Age and make themselves to be the Man Of the Era..
The gist of putting this here is that choice is yours: to be aged or to be staged!!??
