A Whole New World

Things should be a little different. World can be a better place!

Since the day I first understood that I was living in a system called WORLD, i thought of the means to improve this system – means to make the WORLD  a better place! Its not very hard to understand that world around us has to be changed to something better! When I was in school, I thought that population and corruption were the biggest problems!  I grew a little older and I thought more about it. I kept working on the ideas of a perfect system! What if I was the Prime Minister? How should the country be run that every single citizen breathes an air of freedom that is offered to the top most politicians! Well, laws are not for everyone. Opportunities are not same for everyone! Even social status is a function of power and influence! All such things were central point of my pondering.

So I thought about the ingredients of a perfect world.

First I thought that a perfect world has to be regulated in the perfect manner. I thought that there should be solid political and constitutional structures to safeguard common man’s interests. I believed that a common man should have access to all essential commodities, members of state and national assemblies should be highly educated and talented etc etc… I went on and on.. deliberating on the solution that could make this world a perfect place to live!

But there is some problem….

Sanskrit word for a man is manav – one who has a mind, can think, anylze and process information more efficiently than any other living being we know. ( we know – because I am not really sure if monkeys are not smarter than us to live a life of freedom, have sex when they want, eat what they like, never work for long hours in offices and sleep as much as they want ).  Men can manipulate!! I keep coming up with the solutions for a perfect world but I trust minds of the people that they will come up with new ways to create a mess! Its not going to work even if I acquire some ‘siddhis’ and become a superman

System regulation is NOT a good idea! Lets go deeper..

By the time I was in college, I came to believe that people are too smart to be disciplined by a system! They will come up with new ways to bend the rules, manipulate the system and change things to their own advantage ( at the expanse of somebody else). All ideas of ‘system regulation’ are based on CONTROL in one form or other!

What if

What if people live in harmony without being monitored! What if world becomes a perfect place simply because there is no one  creating a mess now and then! What if WE understand that we are IN the system, love and care for its well being and live like a family! No amount of regulation can do that. Draconian laws and capital punishment can not help us to achieve that perfection. An inner change is what is needed. As long as our inner space is unblemished by the stains of hatred, anger and  jealousy, we can not expect to have a world that we are searching for ( consciously or sub-consciously!) Change yourself, change the world.

The CONDITIONS.. about loving, hating, helping, fighting and ….

But wait, who will decide if ‘anger’ is an undesirable situation in all circumstances! Who will truthfully assert that we shouldn’t hit back when someone punches us hard on the nose! Who will decide that the so-and-so fellow was actually right in doing what s/he was doing! We have no fixed definitions of good and bad things! Even if we agree that driving without a license is a bad thing, we can not deny the fact that a person helping someone in emergency is actually doing a good thing even if breaks a traffic law! You see, good and bad is highly situational! Not all situations are alike and our world is badly affected by this notion of relativity. A conditional world can not be perfect because conditions are too vague! ‘We should be kind to the children if they are not very naughty’ – is a condition. ‘We will be honest if the people around us are not cheating’ – is yet another condition.

As long as these conditions are there, we can not expect to live in the perfect world.

Unconditional World – Let there be no conditions when you give love, help people and do your own thing!

Believe me, there is no other way to create the world that we are earnestly seeking! ( everyone of us.. whether we know it or not) A world that is not limited by conditions, can never sink in the ocean of poverty, misery and hatred.  You are your own world! Once we start giving away love, gratitude and respect unconditionally, a whole new world begins to emerge. A world that does not trigger tension… a world that does not evoke painful emotions.. a world that makes you feel at peace all the time… A world that makes you feel at home at all places.. A world that reduces the manifestation gap of your thoughts! Our results are dependent on our actions! Our actions are dependent on our thoughts! When you are setting conditions for everything you do, you will get the same in return! There will be conditions whether your dream will come true. There will be conditions whether your thoughts will be manifested or not! When you are unconditional, everything will turn upside down; world will be illuminated to your own tune.. no matter what the conditions are..  When I think about a world guided by ‘unconditional love’, all philosophies, religions and scriptures appear naive LOVE ….. because that’s what we want our new world to have in abundance!
