Astronomical studies show that the universe is so incredibly vast, and expanding at such a rapid rate that, even with the use of the most powerful telescopes, its total dimensions have yet to be accurately estimated. In this immeasurably vast universe, our earth is infinitesimally smaller than a grain of sand.
Throughout the universe, our earth is a very rare exception, in that it is the only place where exceptional things such as water, vegetation, an atmosphere of air and oxygen are present. If life can prevail on this earth, it is because of the impeccable life support systems that are functioning on it. On earth, there exist all those valuable elements by utilising which man can, if he wills, build a civilisation. It is and has been the task of humanity to convert this potential into reality.
It is quite evident that civilisation, passing continuously from one stage of its history to another, is moving on from its initial state of development to progressive higher levels altogether. The evolution of history makes it clear that human civilisation is continuously advancing along the path of progress and development. The result of such focused progress and sustainable development will be that which could be called a ‘Spiritual Civilisation’ or ‘Paradise’.
