लोकसंग्रहमेवापि संपश्यन्कर्तुमर्हसि
|| Gita 3.20||
“The wise man should act in such a way that he may promote protection of social organization by democratic procedures and co-operation.”
If this is missed in their own life, while preaching Gita, spiritual leaders exhibit nothing but their hypocritical attention deficit disorder.
I don’t imagine spiritual leader ignoring citizens welfare. Political system refinement, is urgent need for welfare of all, so no one, with study of Gita in true sense, can ignore it.
Don’t ever say that ‘I hate politics’. Be part of awakened mass who can fight for own rights and resources. That will be true dedication to Shri Krishna.
Revolution follows reforms. What is reform? Nothing but radical change in principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the real people in their majority. 24×7 urge for change in hearts and minds of majority.
A revolution without prior reforms at individual level, would collapse or become a totalitarian tyranny.
Go, meet people. Ignore their sleeping soul for change, make them aware about future chaos, show them solutions by collective awareness and collective pressure on powerful, until we reach critical mass.
A reformation means that masses of our people have reached the point of disillusionment with past ways and values. They don’t know what will work but they do know that the prevailing system is selfdefeating, frustrating, and hopeless. They won’t act for change but won’t strongly oppose those who do. Then the time is ripe for revolution.
Well, middle class junta has yet to feel this disillusionment. And they are the critical mass. Once they become fearless, no one can stop revolution. Inject fearless living in them by demonstrating it in you.
