CONTEMPORARY WORLD PROBLEMS ARE ABOUT TO GET SOLVED

There was a time when in every household there were storms of blind faith and belief. In every home people discussed ghost, evil souls, sorceresses and so on. Someone or the other would talk of Mantras and black magic being targeted at them. Fear of doubt and suspicion were the causes of mutual fights and enmity. Certain vile hypocrites had converted this mockery into a profession. Small illnesses were believed to the wrongdoing of evil spirits and wrong allegations were made against others by saying they had done black magic. Innocent people would believe all this and thus a mountain was made from a mole hill. Almost every day mutual enmity, quarrels and doubts/suspicions were noted. Thus those who claimed to ‘shoo’ away the evil spirit via Mantra ‘energized’ brooms made very good business of it. Where people should have lived peacefully and where no enmity should have been harbored since no cause existed there even in big villages/towns suspicion, blind faith and enmity prevailed. When fuel enters fire it blazes ferociously. Curiosity too for entertainment purposes would convert mole hills of hearsays into mountains and with this as an excuse many were looted. From where did this distrust crop up and today where has it disappeared is indeed amazing. It is lack of true understanding that inflates errors. As soon as true understanding dawns it destroys all nets of delusions in such a way that never did horns grow on the head of an ass. Even today man harbors a few illusions about himself. Day in and day out illnesses attack our body and in order to cure them newer medicines are administered. Despite this there always exists a dispute as to which medicine and therapy was beneficial and which was dangerous. One mode of medical cure can prove to be beneficial for ‘A’ but for ‘B’ it could prove to be deadly. Thus doctors and medicines keep changing on a daily footing. This has been going on for ages yet we have not drawn a definite conclusion till date. After so many years one correct conclusion has been elucidated that the mind controls every part/organ of the human body. Lest the mind is controlled aptly and encouraged to walk on the path of true greatness all bodily parts start functioning optimally and the very roots of diseases can be chopped off. Bang opposite to this if our thinking is wayward/lopsided, bad thoughts take over our psyche then even if no problem is there in the body many imaginary mismanaged situations manifest in it and only those medicines function a bit in which we harbor deep faith. From this it appears that the roots/fount of all diseases and illnesses is the human mind/psyche. In fact the body merely reflects it dimly. Ere our thinking process is straightforward, serene and full of goodwill to all then since the root of diseases lies in the mind, the body shall not manifest the disease since the mind is functioning wholesomely (psycho somatic). If beforehand people had become fully aware of this fact everyone could cure their own disease by rendering the mind calm and sacred and would not have to run from one doctor to another with a sense of hopelessness. The same holds true for anger and irritation. People opine that the cause of worries, suspicions and various obstacles are agitating situations but they forget that in those very situations, using those very means many other people live happily and a contented life. In fact when we experience obstructions the activities of our psyche plays a major role. In order to change external situations the mind’s waywardness is reformed instead of running about here and there, none will find it difficult to render situations conducive. When we fail to do this we superimpose our mistakes on others. Lest bad habits were absent then while living a life of straightforwardness and gentlemanliness each person could have reformed situations faced by them. When we rectify our error all those obstacles that loom large around us, henceforth disappear in a jiffy. Misuse of the 5 sense organs becomes the cause of hardships faced by us all. Ere people had imbibed this gross fact one would not have had to madly run after fulfilling various desires and in fact via self control majority of problems faced in life could have been solved. Ere the taste buds were controlled optimally we would not desire to eat unwholesome food and thus with the stomach functioning healthily no digestive illnesses would have to be faced. Sexual lust and lewdness is a mental disease. People look upon this as a bodily demand or requirement which in fact is not true. Ere this gross principle was deeply understood all unethical activities based on sexual lewdness would come to a grinding halt. Men and women united would execute those important tasks wherein no dearth of joyous comforts would be witnessed and those undesirable situations that have to be faced virtually daily within them none would henceforth harass each other. Before using the 5 sense organs (ear, nose, taste buds, skin and speech) we differentiate between how aptly or erroneously they could be used, what needs to be imbibed and what needs to be overlooked, we would not err by taking wrong directions from the brain that would pose dire for our lives. Thus by abstaining from such errors people can live lives of blissful peace and well being. The first sign of man’s high intellect is to use aptly all materials available. Ere the mind conjoined to our daily living had been accepted as the best means had we kept in mind its wholesome and unwholesome usage then each one of us would have had the opportunity of leading happy lives while making others happy too. Thus those obstacles and strife that we face day in and day out would no longer harass us. In this world there does not exist even one hardship which cannot be solved using a wise intellect. This world is Almighty God’s beautiful garden. In it in every direction lie all sorts of facilities and comforts. Wherever one sees obstacles there it must be understood that somewhere down the line our thinking is distorted. If only this error is unveiled that cause can easily be understood which renders a previously happy life full of thorns at present. In future mankind is about to positively rectify its thinking and along with this it is getting ready to shrug off all those problems which have resulted in today’s havoc like chaotic world environment. Akin to other great philosophers Lord Atreya too in Charak Samihita’s ‘Janpado dhwansaniya viman’ titled chapter has given the root cause of present day atrocities/worries and ‘royal diseases’ like famine, floods, wars, earthquakes, volcanoes, explosions and epidemics. He writes that there are 4 main causes of all these viz. air, water, type of area and type of those times. When these 4 get tainted gigantic upheavals are noted. Why do these get tainted? While giving an answer to this question Lord Atreya tells his disciple Agnivesh: O Agnivesh! The root cause of taints entering wind etc is unrighteousness and the cause of carrying out unrighteousness is our past misdeeds. The cause of both these is a tainted intellect and brain. The gist of this is that due to tainted learning when our intellect turns vile man executes unrighteous acts and this in turn leads to calamities etc. Its special description is that the lay public imitates actions behavior of leading personalities of society. Hence those people who are leaders in their country, city, villages etc on overthrowing righteousness induces the lay public to behave and act in an unrighteous manner, not only small time workers but all urban, rural, professionals etc take up unethical living in a big way. At such times unrighteous behavior shoots up so dramatically that it subdues righteousness totally. When righteousness is rendered void demigods give up associating with unrighteous people. In this manner where righteousness is as good as dead, where unrighteousness predominates and when demigods no longer help wicked people, seasons get tarnished. The result of this is that it does not rain on time winds do not move about properly, water dries up and medicines on giving up their healing qualities become distorted. Thus when people associate with each other the entire region due to taints in food and water become fallen. Not only this but that the reason why countries are uprooted via weapons (wars, world wars etc) is unrighteous prevailing in society. When wrath, deluded attachment and arrogance augments in people they by insulting weak powerless people use weapons to kill just about anyone and everyone after attacking them viciously. Such innocents are destroyed via demonic type of people. Thus it can doubtlessly be said that ‘Pragapi chadharmattate nashubhatpattirbhuta’ which means even in ancient times without unrighteousness prevailing unwholesomeness never appeared. After this the revered Maharshi gave reasons why the intellect becomes tainted. He gave various solutions via which bad situations can be reformed because himself being a doctor it was required that he elucidates a therapy for every kind of disease. It was Maharshi Charak who gave us methods via which the nation can be gloriously uplifted. Satyam bhutedaya dana balayo devatarchanam. Sadvrittarayanuvruttishcha prashamo guptiratmanaha. Hitam janapadanancha shivanamupasevanam. Sevanam brahmacharyasya tathaiva brahmacharinam. Sankatha dharmashastranam maharshinam jitasmanam. Dharmikaiha sattvikairnityam sahasya vriddhasammataiha. Ityetad bhashajam proktamayushaha paripalanam. Yeshamaniyate mritustasmin kale sudarune. MEANING: Under dire circumstances the following protects our life- 1) Truth 2) Compassion towards all beings 3) Philanthropy 4) Worshiping demigods and offering gifts to them 5) Attitude of selfless sacred service to all 6) Peace 7) Protecting oneself 8) Goodwill towards all countrymen 9) One’s behavior and thinking must be piously great and using only those materials attained ethically/legally 10) Undergoing Brahmacharya and associating with Self Realized Gurus and Saints 11) Reading legends and religious texts of Maharshis that aid mastering of our psyche 12) Always continuously associating with pious senior citizens and honorable sacred hearted righteous people If in contemporary times if the above mentioned sacred great thinking becomes a part and parcel of world human life then most definitely it will be possible to ward off and overcome all dire world situations faced by mankind today.
