' Means ' and ' Ends '

     Every person based on his status or state would always be driven to seek an instrumentality or system or means to achieve an end to his satisfaction.  Hence such person has to devise an instrumentality of his own or to adhere to an already existing system.  In this regard, a person may make modifications or alterations to the existing system, if such modifications are plausible and permissible and facile without any detriment  to the existing system.  Therefore, what a person desires is only end or salvation (generic meaning of 'end' to be given)  As such, every person strives to endeavor to create 'means' to achieve an 'end'.
     
     The aforesaid manner of creating 'means' to achieve the desired 'ends' may be acceptable so long as one has the wherewithal 'to earn and live'.  But, as and when days pass by and when a person comes to his 'rainy days' his 'ends' in earlier life would undergo a perceptible change  impelling him to seek 'salvation' - 'saving a man from the power and penalty pf sin'.  For this purpose, it would be fit and proper to follow the 'means' already established by our earlier preceptors after undergoing trials and tribulations without any modifications  as the earlier preceptors have attained salvation.  When such precedents exist the modern generation  on becoming  elders  need not strive to create any other specialized ' means '.aThe reasons for this follow up are two -fold:: one that  the time factor involved to find out ' means'  being short and secondly the know-how required to create such means are also being not as facile as it may be thought of.  Therefore, what is needed to attain 'salvation' is unswerving and steadfast devotion to the  ALL POWERFUL WHO EVER REMAINS to be the 'instrumentality or means and also the person to be reached'  by following the guidelines already               handed down by the earlier preceptors.  This only means that ' means ' already exist to achieve salvation - liberation from sin and attaining eternal happiness since after all ' end '  denotes a point of 'NO RETURN'...       ..
