Transport From Slavery To Salvation
"The bitterest thing in today's sorrow is the memory of yesterday's joy," wrote Kahlil Gibran, but to let go is easier said than done. It is one of the most challenging things to do. Material objects metamorphose into immaterial objects sooner or later. Ironically, it is physically nonexistent entities like emotions, sentiments and memories that turn into attachments from which it is painful to detach. Letting go does not necessarily mean getting rid of or throwing things out. The problem arises when possessions become obsessions. A stack of never-to-be-worn clothes, which, if given away, could help some; out-of-action gadgets, which feng shui will advise not to keep as they gather negative energies; chipped ceramic cups; never-to-be-read list can go on and on. Besides collecting dust and creating clutter, they remind us of days that never return. All because we have allowed ourselves to become victims of sentiments or emotions. Detachment does not hurt, but attachment does. Memories do not occupy any physical place, though they are often described as bittersweet. The past does not come back but can still impact the present and future. "The root of all suffering is attachment," said the Buddha . These attachments can be both material and mental. According to Buddhism , the key to overcoming suffering is letting go of desires, attachments and aversions. In the universe, which is transcendental, ever changing, when we 'hang on', we go against the law of nature, and suffer. Possession and past restrict, suffocate, confine, ensnare and entangle. According to the Bhagwad Gita , "Attachments interfere with a person's ability to think clearly or rationally. When the person is free from attachments, he becomes equal to attractions, aversions and intelligence." Vairagya, relinquishment, translates into freedom from bondages and bindings, a transport from slavery to salvation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo In Christianity, renunciation is the forsaking of worldly desires and possessions to follow the path of Jesus Christ and his teachings. Jesus once advised a rich ruler, "Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasures in heaven. Then come and follow me." Jainism speaks of aparigraha - attachment brings suffering and sorrow, which is why all worldly possessions and relations are to be given up. Islam says, "Detachment means nothing should own you." According to the Maitri Upanishad , "Control of thought is liberation." One must go beyond the elements, senses, object of senses, greed, envy, leisure, self-love, anger, and lust to be on the path of liberation and realising Brahmn. Renunciation does not mean being nonloving, indifferent or apathetic. It means surmounting obsession, weakness, addiction, ego or mania as these negative entities cast shadows on our thoughts, affect reason, relationships and realities. Imprisonment by materials and moments is the angst that prevents living and enjoying the present. Isha Upanishad says, "Whatever moves in this moving world is enveloped by God. Therefore, enjoy renunciation; do not covet what belongs to others." Longing for what is not ours can only bring about contempt and conflicts. The best lesson of attachment with detachment is the Sun. Without any demand, desire, or discrimination, the Sun, benevolent niskamkarmi, sakha, sustains life on earth and the earth itself with its light and warmth.

Fully open, Palanganatham flyover to decongest city
Madurai: Chief minister M K Stalin on Thursday virtually inaugurated the second arm of the Palanganatham road flyover in Madurai from Chennai. The project aims to ease congestion for vehicles travelling from the city to Thiruparankundram, TVS Nagar and Jaihindpuram. Constructed by the national highways wing of State Highways department, the flyover was completed at a cost of `68.38 crore. The new arm connects Palanganatham with Jaihindpuram, complementing the already operational first arm that links Palanganatham to TVS Nagar. Together, these arms replace the heavily congested railway level crossing (No. 366) between Madurai and Virudhunagar. The flyover spans 730 metre and consists of 47 piers and 51 spans, along with service roads, a stormwater drain system, and an underpass. It will improve connectivity between the western parts of Madurai such as Tiruparankundram and Kalavasal, and eastern areas including Jaihindpuram, TVS Nagar, Villapuram, Avaniapuram, and the airport zone. The project was originally proposed under the Railway Works Programme in 2006-2007, with administrative approval granted for `30 crore. An agreement was signed with the contractor in 2011 for an estimated `33 crore, and initial construction connecting Madakulam and TVS Nagar was completed by 2015. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo However, legal disputes over land acquisition delayed the Jaihindpuram arm, resulting in the termination of the earlier contractor's work in 2014. A fresh agreement was later signed with a new contractor for `18.37 crore in Nov 2022 to complete the remaining work, which was wrapped up last month. With the entire flyover now open, city officials expect significant relief for motorists navigating key traffic bottlenecks. T Nageshwaran, a transportation activist, said the project not only reduces travel time between key neighbourhoods but also promises a safer, more reliable route by eliminating the need to wait at the busy railway crossing. Though it was delayed for years, the new arm is expected to handle increasing traffic volumes efficiently and contribute to smoother intra-city transport in the years to come, added Nageshwaran.
