If someone says that a stone floats on the surface of the water, we accept it, but if someone says that it sank in the water, it is just as amazing as it is truly amazing. Similarly, if someone says that a large stone floats on water, it is a great wonder. But if you ask a little about how many such amazing events occur in this universe today, it is not rare to have the ability to demonstrate it with good examples.
The king of Kosala, who was in the Buddha's time, saw all the amazing events mentioned above in a dream. When he saw it and went to the Buddha to ask what the results were, the Buddha began to preach to the king. The result of this is that in the future, the kings who live in the country will be unrighteous, so the worthy people living in the country will never find a suitable place. Even if they do, they will not be given the opportunity to perform their duties well according to those merits.
Today, the fruits of the dreams that the King of Kosala saw have come true. Everything is going well. Today, a society full of immorality and depraved morality has been created. All the attitudes of people have deteriorated. This entire social level has been created into a society where only those who strive to satisfy their own thoughts only with sensual desires, without knowing their parents, brothers, sisters, and close friends, live. Why did this happen? Isn't it because they only study for the purpose of earning money to satisfy their thoughts and unlimited desires? That is why. If a person is a well-educated creature, that person has
1. Head
2. Hand
3. Heart
These three parts should be well-formed. But today, because only the head and the hand are made, a group of people have emerged who have no understanding of the minds and lives of others, just like robots, due to their mental and sensual mentality.
A person who lives in the midst of a multitude of problems always looks for a way to create problems, not a way to solve them. Why? From a young age, he is used to giving his mind bad mental attitudes, not good ones. Therefore, he always strives to create a problem. This is why today the deserving do not get the right place and those who do are not allowed to work in it.
Similarly, today there is great curiosity in all beings. What is that? Will the world end soon? Everyone is always thinking and worrying about this. We should ask this. Also, if you are trying to get rid of it, start living a life according to the Dharma. Then you will not have to regret even if this whole world is destroyed and shattered. But if you live a wrong life, you will have to go to the next world and suffer.
Before the destruction of the world, when all the living beings here see their parents, brothers and relatives, they will all meet like animals and will automatically be destroyed by each other's hands and will cut off all objects with axes. Then, those weapons will be cut down and destroyed, and in the end, only those who lived virtuous lives will remain. Doesn't all this happen today? Are there no people in this universe who do not know their parents today? There are, right?
If you live a righteous life, then you can get physical and mental peace. But if you live outside of that, you will have to live an unrighteous life there with a miserable mentality. As long as you do good, you will have peace. As long as evil is done, there will be destruction. "Those who sow the seeds reap the seeds." This is good advice, so always sharpen it in your life.
