While going through the subject for the day 24 August in the book, Param Poojaneeya Sri Guruji says : Ideal Society is the Parameswara.
He narrates a story from a Kirtan.
Sri Vishnu is known as 'VISHWAMBHAR' - the One who takes care of all the Jeevas in the world.
Sage Narada felt like testing Him and so in a air tight box, he placed some ants and reached out to Lord Vishnu.
And asked, I heard you are called 'VISHWAMBHAR' but now here are the ants in this box for whom You have not given anything.
Lord Vishnu said : Its impossible. Let me see.
Narada opened the box and to his surprise found each ant carrying sugar in its mouth.
This is how the life should be in the Ideal Social Order. Each one is provided what one needs.
That's what Mananeeya Eknathji says as the most important work that our Nation has to do. He says :
Over and above these three categories of service, there is a fourth category which is the supreme one. If a whole people in some corner of the globe successfully evolve a satisfactory social order that can provide abundant opportunities to each of the constituents to meet the basic needs of the body-mind complex and allow him to fulfil the inner aspirations, it would be the supreme act of service. It would be remembered in the pages of human history. It would be the right and perfect social order. All would be leading a community life and there would be no room for cut-throat competitions, exploitations and such other harmful traits of life. it would cooperative like the limbs of the body. The limbs of the body have no quarrel or conflict or competition amongst themselves and all strive to make the life a success. No grudge that the stomach has avarice and is exploiting limbs. It receives, but only for proper distribution of energy to each and every limb and particle of the body. Under such circumstances class-war has no scope at all.
People in the world are striving for such an ideal society. They want it. Herculean efforts are being made all over the world and every school of thought is trying to evolve such a society. A society in which there will be balanced social relations, happy and satisfactory social order, freedom from exploitation is most urgently wanted today. The ideal society must fulfil the needs of the body-mind complex; at the same time it must satisfy the yearnings of the inner being of man. Our ancestors had evolved such a society and with great confidence they could proclaim and invite the people of the world to come and visit this society and to follow its precepts for their well-being. Manu says:
"All men in the world should learn their own life and conduct from the Brahmin born in this region." The Brahmins, that is the thinkers on sociology, have evolved such an ideal social order that anybody, in this world irrespective of his nationality, religion, colour, faith and creed, can follow the maxims of successful individual life as well as conflict less perfect society. China, Russia and America in the present times are trying their own ideologies, but everything is still in the experimental stage. But this is a fact accomplished by ancient sociologists of our land. Everybody must get food, clothing and shelter, also education and training to lead a successful life and something more. Man is not only body-mind and intellect, but something above this and as such man must be considered as a whole. The yearnings of the inner self also must be satisfied. The ancient seers, philosophers, sages visualized all this and have shown the way with full confidence that all men in the world can safely and satisfactorily follow the code of conduct. As Einstein has remarked, India will show the way. It is India's traditional ever-existing mission to show the way, for ages we were experimenting and ultimately we had succeeded in evolving the perfect social order. But our efforts to spread and perpetuate the same have been frustrated due to manifold reasons, some of them being extraneous. But we have to take courage and be on our toes to fulfil the mission. This is why ours is a nation-building service mission. The nation has lost its mission, it is to be re-instated, the nation is to be built, perhaps it is to be reconstructed.
Lets keep this thought always uppermost in doing all different day to day tasks.-- With Regards and Prayers (D. Bhanudas) 89035 36440 Visit: www.vkendra.org See : http://dbhanudas.wordpress.com See :The Ideal of Self-Confidence
