Subject: Secularism, Socialism and Spiritual knowledge Author: dattaswami [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 00:27:27 09/22/07 Sat Secularism, Socialism and Spiritual knowledge In Ayurveda, the Indian medicine – treatment of cause is given More importance, called as “Nidanam”, - if cause is not cured, The disease is not cured at all – symptoms appear again and again As long as the disease exists, – disease is permanently cured only When its cause is cured, - spiritual knowledge cures cause. The efforts of secular Government – are not controlling even The symptoms, not to speak of cause, – ancient kings were wise. Secularism is not understood, – it means taking medicine from Bottles of different colors equally, – today secularism means Not to take medicine from any bottle, – disease is never cured. Nivrutti or spiritual knowledge – is the basis for Pravrutti or society. Social justice and peace become - eternal and real in this society Only when the spiritual knowledge – of all religions is stressed upon. If you avoid the religion, – the spiritual knowledge is also avoided. Universal spirituality is taking medicine – from bottles of various colors. Spiritual knowledge is collected – from various religions on earth here. This is impartiality while getting – the benefit of using the medicine. Secularism is really this only, – but today secularism is misunderstood. Today it is the impartiality – by not taking medicine from any bottle! Impartiality is achieved, no doubt, – but there is no use of medicine, As medicine is avoided from all bottles – for the fear of partiality! When impartiality can be achieved – by another useful way, then, Why do you choose useless way – to achieve same impartiality? You are trying to bring socialism, – it is the middle golden path Between the extreme ends of – the capitalism and the communism. Socialism was perfectly achieved – in India in the ancient times. The reason was that spiritualism – stood as support for socialism. Rich people donated to poor liberally – by assimilating spiritualism. Poor people were always contented – by understanding spiritualism. Today neither rich donate to poor, – nor poor is contented at anytime!
