In the same manner, if we elevate ourselves and see things in the proper perspective, then we will understand the true meaning of these events. However, our life is taking a peculiar turn. A life that is full of bad ideas and bad actions appears to be a false drama. In fact, all our life appears to be a false and pretentious drama. The life of the was indeed exemplary. In none of their actions, can one detect untruth, unjustness or unfairness. They led perfect lives. The coming together of and the is regarded as one of bodily attachment because of the cinemas and dramas that we see today. The confluence of the and is truly divine.
