As soon the common central point of existence is removed the whole global social order begins to disintegrate. It deteriorates more and more until eventually there is nothing left of the human civilization. Therefore those who are both enlightened and compassionate fully dedicate their lives for ending the chaos by taking all risks of personal comfort and safety to widely propagate the ultimate self-realization science all over the world. It is in many ways a thankless task because such dedicated teachers of the highest knowledge are often criticized and harassed. Sometimes they are even killed. But still out of their unbounded kindness they relentlessly push forward to make this supreme knowledge more and more available to the ignorant human society.
Without true knowledge of the self, all of the advancement of the modern day society is nothing more than ever more sophisticated arrangements for decorating a dead body. A dead body is useless, although it may be very appreciated by the friends and relatives of the departed soul. At least in India the body is not given very much importance. When the soul departs from it the body is burned. It is cremated. Here in the Western countries great care is taken to preserve the body as nicely as possible. It is buried in the earth in a very expensive coffin. Large tracts of land are designated as cemeteries even in large cities where there is not enough space to properly house those who are still living.
Until the people in general wake up and realize the actual spiritual nature of the self as an eternal servant of God there will never be lasting peace and prosperity in the human society. There will always be chaotic conditions in the form of pestilence, droughts, floods, excessive heat, excessive cold, war, terrorism, violent crime, etc. In the spite of the big, big promises of the politicians when they run for office, the people will not get the proper solutions to the problems that sap their vitality and rob them of their happiness. And then in the end because they were not guided how to properly utilize their human form of life they will have to face the risk of descending into the animal kingdom in their next lifetime according to the stringent laws of karma.
Although I am no doubt disqualified in so many ways, on the order of my spiritual master I am trying to do whatever I can to help improve the world situation. Of course, alone I cannot do much. But if all of us can work together in a team spirit of full co-operation there is no limit to what can be accomplished in bringing an end to the chaos. So let's roll.
