THE WORLD IS CHANGING FAST
The world is changing, and changing fast. Technology,
education, health, eating habits, dress - there is hardly anything in life that
is not changing, some changes we like, while others create fear and anxiety.
Everywhere there is a feeling of insecurity. What will
happen to us tomorrow, or what will happen to our children, are questions we
keep frequently asking. One thing, however, is clear. It is no more possible to
live in the way we have been living so far. It seems that now the entire fabric
of life will have to be changed. Life will have to be redesigned. The life of
the individual, the social structure, and governance—all will have to be
replanned.
One of the greatest changes that has taken place lies
in the political sphere. The other great change that has taken place is that
every adult man or woman, rich or poor, high-caste or low- caste, has now a
vote. All adults are entitled to vote and participate equally in forming their
government. Thus, politically, we are all equal.
Change is pervasive. There is no end to it. Man has
already reached the moon. He may soon reach other planets. Who knows, a day may
soon come, when a new earth may be found—a new flourishing civilization. Who
knows what wonders are in store for us!
Whatever the faults and failings of our
civilization, man in his onward journey spread over a vast number of centuries,
has achieved a great deal. Our ancient Rishis discovered that there is basic
unity in creation. Life is one. It is whole. This basic law became the basis of
all the spiritual thoughts that developed later. It is an eternal law. It holds
good even today. Without it we cannot think of any new phase of civilization.
There is a cosmic power that moves everything, and everything, big or small, is
an _expression of that cosmic power.
As against those that delved into the
realm of the spirit, there were the scientists, who discovered the mysteries of
nature. The scientists and the technologists made tools, devised machines that
made life livable.
The present-day civilization stands on two legs. One
is spirituality, and the other is science. The two together have made
civilization what it is. The two must come together in a planned manner, to
create a better and happier life.
In the world today, there are about 200 countries,
which have adopted democracy as a mode of governance. But whatever the form of
democracy as it is practiced in the world today, democracy is a halfway house.
Democracy and peace have to go together. Without peace democracy has little meaning
and without democracy peace has no practical form. It is democracy that makes
peace a force. Both together will take humanity several steps forward in
civilization. But we should remember that peace is not just an interlude
between two wars. It means a total culture of peace, nothing less.
Peace as a force of civilization has to be both
creative and constructive. The question is: who will be the vanguard of
humanity's evolution in the process of civilization? Nature has made woman the
most creative force. Can we not use her creative talents to make society more
human and enlightened? Woman created the family and men created the state and
government. Obviously, of the two, woman is more creative. Local life is
comprised of families. The family is the starting point of the culture of
peace. The circle around the family should include the group of families in the
neighborhood and thus the circles will go on till a day may come – may be few
centuries hence to come when they will include the world and go even beyond the
world to include the entire creation. After all man has reached the moon. Does
it not show that he has already entered the inter-planetary phase of
civilization?
Nation should be organized in local units. These
units will go up in an ascending order to district, region, state and nation
etc. The market will shrink in the sense that trade will be confined to
surpluses. The market is a dominating force today. It will cease to exist as
such. The market will be there because society needs it, not because market
needs customers. Why should there be wars then? This will in course of time
lead to a wholesale change in the life of the individual, in the structure of
society and in the form of government. It will be organised around
neighbourhood that will have their own economy, polity, education, and even
religion. Humanity will thus have a new culture. This culture will not be
parasitical.
The new change, which looks very much like a
dream today will have enough room for everybody to grow, to his/her full
height. May be, this will happen in the moral stage of civilization that will
come after the democratic stage. For that a great deal of transition planning
will be necessary.
