Towards A Better India Part One
"India is great" that's what I have heard since my childhood. In the process of my growing up, the process of analysis of this greatness has also gone on. Luckily the study of History, Philosophy, Sociology, Education, Psychology, Literature, Economics and Geography helped me much to analyse this greatness like an educated person. I am still a novice though.
I need not go in history as the state of mind prevalent among us today radiates a composite picture of our being. Let's analyse this state of mind. The criterion of the analysis should be rationale. Putting it in a few words, I feel-"A positive stuff suffocated with negativity" can say more than the words.
We have to keep in mind the basic lessons life/nature has taught us. Some of them are-
1- Survival of the fittest.
2- A few rule the rest.
3- Power and wealth tend to aggregate in fewer hands.
4- God helps those who help themselves.
5- Man made laws of parity, freedom and justice do not match with those of the nature. Still we must strive for them.
6- We are dialectical in nature as the universe itself. Balance is best.
7- We live in a man dominated world that does not do justice to women.
8- Man takes man as a means.
9- Fear, hunger, greed, ambition,etc govern us.
10- Use of the common man in India by the elite has long been institutionalized. This can be slammed with "the worst example world over". sorry.
11- Ignorance is mother of all the problems.
12- In past 10 thousand years, our culture and civilization have seldom improved our peace of mind and deteriorated the environment for sure.
13- Number (population) has become a big challenge today.
14- Man made order (nature is always in order) is inculcated as well as enforced .
15- Paradise can be brought down the Earth by balancing the positive and the negative within us.There is enough to satisfy our needs on this planet. Man himself is the biggest resource.
There are numerous other lessons also.
So the question is- "how to lead to a better India."
We are living in the Golden period of this Earth. Never before in the history of this nation has been a period when the possibility of rewarding ability was so direct as it is today. Goodness can be sold if you know how to sell it. The stuff within us is the best. We only need to clear its way to groom in the best manner.
How to clear the way?
We have to take up the Herculean Task of educating the mind within each one of us. We have to have a mind that inclines to be scientific, rational, humanistic and spiritual. Each one of us who has such a mind with "Nirlipt Buddhi" is the teacher. If this teacher within us does not educate such minds, who need this education, next to him/her; we lose the right to live in a better India.
I discuss the mechanism in part two.
