There are many educational institutions in the world today
and there are many people who are gaining tremendous power, but it is the most educated and powerful people in the world that are
causing the problems. It is not the simple field workers that are creating
threats of nuclear wars, creating disruptions in the whole economy, by
cheating, plundering and greediness. It is not the simple people that are
really creating the ecological problems that the world faces today. Power comes
through knowledge, ability and influence. When power is used by the wrong hands, it can create greatest problems in the world. When power, and all those things
that make power - knowledge, strength, prestige, ability, are used by the right
hands, they can create a healing effect to the human society. In today’s
world the greatest need is that the people’s hearts are cleansed of the
tendencies of greed, lust, envy, anger, pride and illusion. In the world today
people require to clean their heart and be instruments of love and compassion, and then our educational systems and scientific research will have a
very deep healing affect on the world. It can bring real happiness and
prosperity. That is why we pray, that is why we chant the names of God, to
invoke the compassionate spirit of love that is dormant within us.

Amazing article on the transforming the heart.
ReplyDeletecause behind big things like nuclear war, crime is so small and purpose behind the small things like prayers is so big. Every thing is the outcome of the heart which needs transformation for the good
ReplyDeleteVery nice article by Radhanath Swami. As the saying goes - "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely!" So those in power have to be very judicious while exercising it. And that is possible only if they are God-conscious & are in association with saintly people who can guide them & advice them for the larger benefit of humankind.
ReplyDeleteOur education system should also include spiritual topics. This blog spot should be introduced to the schools.
