It is chaos everywhere in the world. Almost every tenth nation is engaged in a war or dispute with others or on the brink of it. It is indeed peak kali yuga. Yes we can keep cursing the yuga while doing nothing. But something else can be done. A strong nation spiritually tough nation has to emerge away from the chaos and lead the way. i am thinking of India the spiritual powerhouse of yester centuries.
Spiritual thinking is the antidote for the current situation. Spirituality is not about being nice and looking like a fool in the end. It is about the balance of compassion with toughness with that toughness premised on the compassion. Mental toughness is such a desirable quality. If I were to give up all the qualities just for toughness I would immediately do that. It can win a war against even nations.
We should not do the mistake of western nations in choosing the path of development. We are already a highly developed nation spiritually. We just need to bring it to the fore and make the spiritual infrastructure explicit and in accordance with current day requirements. If a single person can fight a nation using spiritual resources imagine the power and capabilities of a spiritually powerful nation.
We need to glorify rigteousness. We need to glorify ethics and teach them and make people practice them. We need to do that by awakening the sleeping conscience of the people. We need to put down hard core pragmatism that destroys or harms others.
Technology is also very important but in sync with the above infrastructure. The old systems should gradually and seamlessly make way for the righteousness and positively pragmatic systems.
India luckily has a spiritually inclined Prime Minister but to be at the forefront and lead we need to sincerely and systematically work.
It is not just about India but India helping others while helping itself.
