Moral
Foundation
Government
elections cannot be fought without the “big money of vested interests”. Soon
after elections, even in so called democracies, the financiers move in to get
their rewards. And they do so by getting the government to lay down policies
that favour them rather than the public. In the process, the government often
ceases to represent Society; instead, it works to meet the demands of these
lobbyists. As a result, Society does not get what is good for it
What
is not Spiritual?
All
fields of life, including politics, bear a direct relationship to spirituality.
Even Mahatma Gandhi never forgot spirituality while being immersed in politics:
“A man is but the product of his
thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes”.
“There is an indefinable
mysterious power that pervades everything. I feel it though I cannot see it”
Individual
and Nature
“Modern
man refers to ancients as superstitious and ignorant people. He ridicules them
for worshipping mountains, rain, sky, animals and even snakes”. But
look what modern man is doing:
.
He is not just cutting trees but wiping out whole forests
.
He is not just killing animals but wiping out whole species
.
God gave man pure air to breathe, instead he is polluting it hugely
.
God gave man water to drink; he not only wastes but also pollutes it
Now,
who is better? Ancient man who reveres and respects Nature or modern man who
thinks he owns Nature and is causing harm to it without realising he is causing
harm to himself.
