Cause of commotions and conflicts in the world
Today all over the world you hear about plans to build a new society. The Universal provision of daily necessities and various amenities and the equal distribution of wealth are among the declared aims of this movement. This may be desirable. But is it practicable? It may be possible to distribute equally property and possessions, amenities and comforts. But is it possible to limit equally the desires of all persons? If desires are not limited equally, there is bound to be frustration. The socialist doctrine is an important concept. But it is no less essential to recognise the reality of God as the primal source of all things in the world. According to the Indian seers, the source of the food one consumes, the power that sustains all living things and the basis of all objects in creation is God. It is because this basic truth has been forgotten that the world today is bedevilled by famines, conflicts, wars and commotion. We must enquire deeply whether the daily necessities, the comforts and pleasures enjoyed by man are created by man or by God. Can man create the land on which his food is grown? Can he produce water? Can he control the air? Can he create the wood in which fire is latent? All these can be created only by God and are beyond the power of man.
