Mr. Moti Lal Dhiman: (via Speaking Tree, an online discussion forum). My question is based on your earlier writing, which I am quoting below:
“The knowledge of God avoids crime and corruption in devotee.
If individuals are transformed, the society is perfectly peaceful.
You cannot control crime and corruption by employing controllers.
Controllers become criminal and corrupt. No end to your effort.
Ancient kings supported the propagation of spiritual knowledge.
It could control the sin. Crime and corruption are the two halves of
the sin. You are spending ten times on employing controllers. But,
there is no trace of control. Spend a small part of it on scholars
to propagate spiritual knowledge. The sin is controlled fully”.
It seems that according to you, all the courts, police, government and administration on the earth are unwanted. All are working in between just to disturb working of God. Please be kind enough to throw light on the same.
Shri Swami: When I say that the sin is fully controlled it does not mean in the absolute sense. The control is not 100% but 99% only. A trace can be neglected and the fullness can be claimed. Even in the ancient times the kings (governments), police and courts existed but in very small number since the sin was almost fully reduced. The work of government, police and courts was very little. Moreover, a tiny trace of sin cannot affect the society. Today, the society is very badly disturbed due to major part of the sin and the inefficient control systems. In the ancient days, the government consisted of one king only assisted by one minister. There was only one board of justice for the entire kingdom. Every individual developed self resistance to the sin due to clear spiritual knowledge propagated by scholars. If any person did any sin, it was only due to misunderstanding of a sin as a good deed and such misunderstanding happened rarely. For example, in the kingdom of Rama, He Himself committed a sin by leaving Sita in forest based on a public remark. If you carefully analyse the intention of Rama, it is not sin at all. Rama wanted to give a message to the future rulers not to be selfish in governing the state. The ruler should be very careful to the opinion of the public. The message was given by Rama in the highest level so that the future rulers will at least be careful in the lower level. The aim should be always highest so that the achievement shall be at least in the middle level. If the aim itself is in the middle level, the achievement will be in very low level.
The wise government should spend to propagate the divine knowledge so that the problem is rectified at the root level i.e., the mind of every citizen. Today, even though government spends hundred times more, the society is ruined day by day since the control of even a trace of sin is not achieved. The education system in ancient days gave lot of importance to spiritual knowledge so that the citizen as the out product had lot of fear for God and sin. Today, science and technology has replaced the spiritual knowledge. Therefore, the resulting citizen becomes efficient to earn and due to lack of fear for sin and God, the earning becomes unlawful also called as corruption. This corruption is the cancer in the ripened state for the society. Every citizen becomes corrupt and the only fear is for court and police. Today, corruption has entered even these control systems and hence, the fear for the sin does not have any place.
