Capacity to think is an exclusive characteristic of human mind. This forms the basis of one's ability to deliberate, imagine, analyze and take decisions. However, human mind also tends to imitate and create experiences from its surroundings, based on which it affects one's character. Its quest for knowledge, rationality and liberal thinking has led to ascent of human civilization in many ways. However, excessive focus on material gains and bodily comforts since the post-medieval times seem to have narrowed the domain of human intellect. As a result man has become the slave of situations in spite of having the great capability to master them. This has also led to gradual decline in ethical conduct on personal, professional and social fronts of life.  Today, we have achieved enormous material progress but at the cost of complete negligence of human conscience. Casteism, fatalism, division of society and nations, wars, poverty, diseases, crime, deceit, dishonesty, inequality, backwardness, corruption, crime against women and many more negative clutches are dragging us on the path of massive devastation. Today, we find that the humanity at large has reached a tipping point where we all need to pause, introspect and rethink to reverse the decline which poses a grave risk of collective catastrophe.
