TROUBLED TIMES



Will demographic changes in Europe inevitably lead to collapse of Western liberal democracy and the institution of Islamic Sharia? Worrisome.
Is it not possible to overcome archaic religious absolutism by the imparting of liberal scientific education to children the world over?
Are we organically wired for conservatism to such a degree that liberalism fails to cast its effective imprint on our psychology?
When the past rules the present and prophets propound myths that by force of following become accepted as truths, reason takes a backseat and so does peace.
To be religious is easy, just be ritualistic. But to be spiritual, you have to lose all fascination for the body and its many pleasures. Om!
When all humanity is the visible form of God, let us stand in reverence before these divinities and worship them through our loving service.
We must not allow fascism to overcome us, be it political or religious, linguistic or racial in origin. Nationalism now must be inclusive and all-embracing.
Whoever claims exclusive access to godhead at a historical point frozen in time and denies the universality of possible perception, is flawed in judgement for sure and the veracity of his pronouncements can scarce be relied upon.
American society is fragile which is why she is undergoing such a churn now when confronted by right radicalism and barbarous bigotry.
Now is the time for India to emerge in her true spiritual colour for her to become the spiritual preceptor of the world and strive to bring about global harmony and peace.
