Just imagine a modern man surrounded on all sides by modern
gadgets. He has a grinder; so he has no need to hands. He has mobile phone; so
he doesn’t have to move from his bed to attend to the phone calls. He has a
remote control; so he doesn’t have to get up from his bed for switching on the
television. Nowadays there are remote switches even for fans and lights and one
can switch them on from one’s bed. In this way, man has increased his luxuries
and facilities and he thinks, “The control for the whole world is at my
fingers, I can control everything around me.”
But, in the process, he becomes utterly dependent on these
gadgets. If even one of them doesn’t work properly, he becomes miserable. And
that is the ultimate consequence of such needless indulgence? Those who use such
gadgets throughout their lives get a variety of bodily maladies in their old
age. And when they go to the doctor, he tells them, “You have not done any
exercise throughout your life. So now
you have to move your hands up and down as if you were drawing water
from well.” Or “you have to rotate your hand as if you were working on a
grinder.” Or “you have to go every morning for walking or jogging,”
