When we compare the two mortgage documents, we can see that when gods got it signed, they had granted free will to man. Man had an aura of sublimity and respectability around him. He was considered a valuable member of the world society. It is another thing, his mind was poisoned with success. And he lost faith in the goodness of gods.
Dr. Jernail S. Anand
Gods wanted men to be living with their head high. They had imparted them a sense of sublimity. The package included a radiant soul, and a heart full of emotions, and a mind which could see its good and bad. Before leaving the divine quarters, man had to sign a mortgage deed. That he will remain loyal to gods, and undertake and accomplish their mission, keep away from evil, and work for alleviating his own sins that he had contracted in previous incarnations. So, all done, he was floated into this world, with an earthly identity, a son or a daughter to a particular person. The catch was that he did not remember anything of his life just before his birth. Only its intimations would come to him in flashes. Yet, it was not easy to put all together, to form a coherent story of his past. Good or bad, the entire mankind that lived at a particular time, had no idea of what they were before their birth.
As such, they had no idea they had come to this world mortgaging their lives to God. They were born only after they had promised their loyalty to gods. Now, as soon as they gathered consciousness, they saw their parents, flocking to gods morning and evening, but the idea of the mortgage never occurred to them. People have no set idea of what happened before their birth. The result is that God is a hazy presence in their lives, and they do not remember of any promissory note given to gods.
Once here, they are tempted by the ‘Maya’ of the earth. They engage themselves in things which look beautiful and tempting. And, a time comes when like Faustus, they think they must go after the easy kill. Life is not bad. It has its joys, though they are lined with pinpricks. So, another mortgage takes place. Now with the Devil.
Devils demand complete loyalty to Satan. Once the deal is signed, for the rest of their lives, they can live on thrills. The essential condition is not to look back. Only to look forward, and beyond the horizons. Push onward. Rush in where angels feared to tread. Take risks, and create for yourself a world of great promise. Why should you live in a world which is made by others? Don’t you want to create a world of your own? You have a will. Why should you wish to subordinate it to any god?

You can go to shrines. Pray to gods. But, more important are the invisible gods seated on invisible heights. They write the fate of millions. And, young men of this world, grow old in their forties, working day and night.
The argument as it ran was tempting. And man after man, woman after woman, child after child – fell for it. Soon, the entire multitude was craving for more and more. Some old men cried, “We want peace”. The young enthusiasts picked them up, and threw them overboard. This is the world of the young. Old men, old limbs, old thoughts, old traditions, – Off.
So, the avante garde movement carried along all the forward looking sections of society. Finally, when the conditions of the new Mortgage came into full realization, it meant a total transformation of the agri-society into a techno-empire. Man was required to go for highest technology, if he had no money, he was not to bother. There were banks and even companies who advanced objects of pleasure and comfort on EMI’s. The people soon realized the Invisible God had put a ban on marriages. We don’t want people fiddling with children. It will hamper their work speed, and their success. We create success stories. Women, who were pregnant, soon found themselves out of jobs. And young men were in search of partners who loved to be together but did not want kids. It was an assault on the new generation. One thing which all people had in common was: they had no time.
They had no time to be free during the day, and talk and discuss politics. No time to day dream. No time to cut jokes with friends. CCTV would catch them in their act, and they had to feel ashamed. Are career young men like that? Sorry sir. Never again. Nobody dared to come late. Half day’s salary was cut.
So much work was done in the schools that it broke the mental muscles of the students, and the back of the teachers. The Principals were expected to be so work- oriented that they kept the teachers on tenterhooks. No respite from nonstop work. So that, they would lose their stamina in 40 years, which otherwise, could have lasted 60 years. People now do not retire. They cannot run so long. They are made to run faster and they break their bones and rest in hospitals, no pension, no gratuity, no medical insurance. Absolute freedom.
So, this is the new work culture. You can go to shrines. Pray to gods. But, more important are the invisible gods seated on invisible heights. They write the fate of millions. And, young men of this world, grow old in their forties, working day and night.

He was considered a valuable member of the world society. It is another thing, his mind was poisoned with success. And he lost faith in the goodness of gods. He got after the invisible gods seated on the Mount Mammona*. They guaranteed him success, but not without getting his Will, his Freedom, his Joy, his Family, and his Imagination mortgaged.
*Mount Mammona is an imaginary place high on the mountains, where the gods of success, the corporates, hold their court.
