We
are living in a very interesting but contradictory times. Tremendous
materialistic progress but degraded values. Excessive greed,
manipulation and little in terms of compassion or charity is order of
the day. Some of the other major flaws are:-
*
Little creativity but great in rote.
*
Inadequate leadership but obedient followers.
*
Blame Karmas/God for misfortune but refuse to change/alter oneself
*
Criticise all but without giving intelligent alternative.
*
Visit temples frequently with wish a TO DO bribing him minor
gratification. Filthy temples with long lines of beggars but little
effort by devotees to cleanse system. Excessive greed with little
charity.
*
Surrendering before stronger & expecting someone else-
God/Government to help
*
Oldest religion with tremendous inherited wisdom but worst in
implementation.
*
Goddesses controlling all virtues but women folk ill-treated
*
Preach World is one family but little contribution towards society
upliftment
*
Believe in AATMA but treat other kinds of life forms with disdain
*
Quote texts but few have mastered these
*
Wise men in all fields of arts/science & warfare but study
western experts.
*Though
great heritage but inferiority complex leading to be defensive about
own past till approved by others.
*
Too concerned about others’ opinions without taking stand even
where right.
*
Excessive status quo and strong resistance to change things including
thought Scientific temperament absent
*
Age old rituals/suspicions/Gurus have predominant control in life
*
Mastering mind taught by our rishis but few practise the art for
exploiting potential to serve humanity
*Me,
my family, my clan, my religion -that is priority. India enslaved for
long periods of history & divisive tendencies still continue
*
Too tolerant & forgiving. Don’t stand for right & forgive
wrongdoers. Manipulators taken advantage of it.
*Excessive
populace with excessive huge on all limited natural resources.
Our
history is of divided, enslaved nation which suffering transforming
from riches to poverty. This is
still happening with strong internal/external
forces augmenting each other.
We
need to initiate some of the measures given below, lest
enslaved again.
*Get
rich.
*Cleanliness
of society, environments from known ills including filth and
corruption.
*
Scientific temper and creativity. Relearning our ancient wisdom;
putting that through wisdom of modern means where available. Keep
reinventing & value addition to Tog/Ayurveda/Meditation/Aartis in
temples & other rituals
*Healthy
positive debate based on knowledge & accepting dissenting views
as part of knowledge evolution.
*
Pride in our own
Nation/society/wisdom/spirituality/diversity/festivities
*
Celebrate life. Indians are known for enjoying life through
dance/dramas/music/songs/festivals/religious
trips/foods etc
*
Shun negative media and
political leadership dividing society
*
Export trained human resource. Indian sub continent can not support
unlimited population. Western nations and Russia in desperate need of
skilled manpower.
*
Encourage charity. Sikhs and Islam encourage charity in big way. We
need to follow
*
Eradicate caste cancer and associated ills.
*
Care for nature by encouraging harmonious living.
Time
has come for India to become strong as society as our other
parameters are moving upwards like economy and military might.
Weak/divided society encourages enslavement- must
never happen again. Enough of slavery
