Answer to the Subtle Experiment in Issue 233:
Figure A depicted the state of affairs in a
spiritually ideal society. In such a society, people would be spiritually
inclined and pure; naturally, such a society would be progressive on all
fronts. It would be fit to be called the Divine Kingdom, since divinity
would be felt in all aspects of life. In such a society, the rulers would
be chosen based on their divine qualities like wisdom, generosity, foresight,
compassion, etc. They would rule the country as their service to God (satseva).
Figure B depicted the state of affairs in the world today, which is
ruled by political parties full of selfish motives. Naturally, no thought
is given to the all-round progress of individuals and society, and society
is in turmoil with terrorism, corruption, immorality, violence, etc.
Figure A emits positive vibrations and one feels
pleasant looking at it. Figure B emits negative vibrations and one feels
unpleasant looking at it. If mere depictions of a divine rule can feel
so pleasant, one can imagine the difference and Bliss in an actual divine,
ideal society. Such a society can dawn only if each of us undertakes sincere
individual and collective spiritual
practice. |
