To be nonviolent to human beings and to be a killer or enemy of the innocuous living entities is Satan's philosophy. In this age there is enmity toward poor animals, and therefore the innocent living creatures are always anxious. The reaction of these innocent animals is being forced on human society, and therefore there is always the strain of cold or hot war between men, individually, collectively or nationally.
During the previous Yuga when the holy Vedic Civilisation was prevalent, during the regime of King Yudhishthira, there were no different nations, although there were different subordinate states. The whole world was united, and the supreme head, being a trained king kept all the inhabitants free from anxiety, diseases and excessive heat and cold. They were not only economically well-to-do, but also physically fit and undisturbed by supernatural power, by enmity from other living beings and by disturbance of bodily and mental agonies.
Because the King was pious and obedient to the Lord and sages, because he was no one's enemy and because he was a recognized agent of the Lord and therefore protected by Him, all the citizens under the King's protection were, so to speak, directly protected by the Lord and His authorized agents. Only when one is pious and recognized by the Lord, he can make others happy who are under his care.
There is full cooperation between man and God and man and nature, and this conscious cooperation between man and God and man and nature, as exemplified by King Yudhishthira, can bring about happiness, peace and prosperity in the world. The attitude of exploiting one another, the custom of the day, will only bring misery.
Therefore, the key to achieving world harmony is comprehending, imbibing and practicing the Absolute Truth as stated in our impeccable Vedic texts, keeping the Lord at the centre of all our materially progressive economic endeavours, being in perfect sync with the ultimate goal of spiritual progress or satisfying the senses of the Supreme, assisting one another to serve the Divine with humility and selfless, submissive dedication.
