There will be radical change
in the present map of the world-1
=Pt. ShriRam Sharma Acharya
Preparations for the third world
war are in full swing and missiles are poised to destroy each other at a
moment's notice; the reason being - the intention of certain groups or class of
people to dominate over the under-privileged masses. It is irrelevant to
discuss who made the first move. Traditionally more powerful and competent
groups of aliens have been exploiting the helpless natives. This is the
principle on which a governing system operates. Ever since the dawn of human
history, exploitation of man by man has followed more or less a similar
pattern.
The powers, which were encouraged
to drop two nuclear bombs on Japan and made it surrender to them, had also been
following the same course of forging an alliance for dominating over the
vulnerable sections of humanity. This philosophy of exploitation of the weaker
by the stronger is the root cause of all conflicts and wars. Ever since men
began to think in this way, there have been wars with the available logistics
and till man gives up this policy there will be no end to these confrontations.
Today, however, there is a greater
cause for anxiety because of possibilities of widespread destruction by nuclear
weapons. Even if a nuclear confrontation could be avoided, wars would continue
to be fought with other armaments, since the root cause continues to be
exploitation of the weaker, less privileged classes of people, by the powerful
groups. This is also the basis on which the boundaries of countries have been
drawn. Had it not been so, geographical features would have been deciding the
national sovereignty.
A characteristic feature of such an
ideal set-up would have been a just status for the backwards, and the
progressive class would have realized its responsibility for upliftment and
progress of the underprivileged people. Since in any society the number of
competent persons is always less than that of the weaker section, the
progressive class, which is in minority, is required to take up the
responsibility to provide guidance to the former and also cater to its needs of
reformation and social upliftment. But does such a situation exist today?
A small number of resourceful,
privileged people have occupied maximum possible territory by virtue of their
superior intellect, administrative efficiency, superior knowledge, greater
resources and declared themselves as owners of land. This is the " Law
of jungle " which
advocates " Might is right ". The basic cause of
confrontation between people as mentioned earlier, is demarcation of boundaries
of nations and control thereof by groups having vested interests. It
tantamounts to an unprincipled grabbing of power. The more powerful a country
is, the more it would be successful in intimidating the weaker nations and in
maintaining a strong hold thereupon. In such an environment, all classes of
people aspire to become powerful and on the first available opportunity jump to
subjugate the weaker.
This has been the scenario in the
medieval period, when, whoever could muster a large army, was inclined to
attack the neighbouring state and after plundering its people, annexed the land
to their own. Today, this philosophy continues to be the same, but strategies
have changed. Though open confrontations are not sought, there is a
camouflaging of principles on sinister designs. Still the more privileged,
powerful nations tend to exercise their control on the neighbouring and distant
countries, so that they are able to exploit the latter to the maximum extent,
besides retaining their own supremacy.
The Illogical Political Borders:
Since ages, the boundaries of
countries have assumed such permanency, that they appear to us as natural
landmarks. Whoever is an occupant of whichever part of land on this earth,
appears to be its justifiable owner. Nevertheless, a critical appraisal from the
point of natural justice and propriety would present an entirely different
picture. Where does one find an equitable distribution of natural resources of
earth amongst the sons and daughters of mother earth? Are the more affluent and
developed nations endeavouring to provide the less privileged classes of
mankind more happiness and prosperity by voluntarily reducing their own
indulgences and comforts? Had man adopted such a philosophy, there would not
have arisen any necessity for forging alliances or conquering lands. With such
an ideology, man would have considered the whole earth as property of God and
everyone would have had an equal opportunity to take advantage of natural
resources found anywhere on this earth. With this doctrine, man would not have needed
boundaries dividing the nations. Even if such a demarcation was required, the
basis would have been necessities like transportation and not political
groupism.
Gas and oil fields are mainly
confined to some Arab countries of The Middle East. These are thus under the
control of a small number of people, whereas being a god-given natural
resource, should it not have been a property of the entire humankind? Likewise,
there are very large unpopulated expanses in Africa and America, whereas in the
densely populated countries like India and China, man has to face many
inconveniences because of shortage of habitable land. The humankind should live
like a family on this earth and the land should belong to all. Everyone should
derive advantage from the produce of land without any discrimination. Injustice
begins when inhabitants of a particular land behave like its owners and intend
to keep the produce of its natural resources exclusively for their own selves.
On account of the aforesaid selfish
unethical thinking, the more privileged class does not tolerate the freedom of
the weaker section. On the other hand, there perpetually exists a suppressed
desire amongst the vulnerable classes to become more powerful and stand in
revolt against this domination. Such a disposition has been the cause of small
and big confrontations between groups of people and if allowed to persist,
there will not be an end to wars on this planet.
The Divine Will:
Let it be known that the divine
powers are now going to
force all militant and aggressive powers to accept a lasting treaty of peace.
The big powers are today threatening each other of consequences of starting a
war. Under these circumstances, those who do not intend to be wiped out are
advised to see reason and boldly retreat. The war which appears imminent would
not take place. It is Gurudev’s assurance and prophecy that open all out war
will be definitely deferred. For the time being the I.C.B.M.s will not be
launched. But is it going to save the human kind? War is not waged with explosives
only. The real war is the war of economics – of acquisition of resources. So
long the borders between the nations exist separating man from man, new
frontiers of war would open and humankind would continue to face disaster.
The Almighty is going to provide a
collective – one-time solution to all human problems. Not only there will be a
deterrent to the nuclear war, the boundaries separating the countries, which
various class and groups of people have drawn by forcible occupation by virtue
of their superiority, would also be removed. None of the countries shown in
today's political map of the world would remain as such in future. " A
Global Nation " will
come into existence and the land on this earth redistributed and reclassified
according to industrial requirements and transportation needs of humankind as a
whole.
Is It a Utopian Concept?
The fore-mentioned world order may
appear inconceivable today. Why should America give up its privileges or Russia
permit its allies to take a soft stand? Why China would allow its vast land to
be distributed amongst others? Would the oil producing countries share their
resources with aliens? It is unlikely that anyone would voluntarily agree to
this arrangement in the normal course – particularly the nations which are
prosperous and privileged ones. On the other hand, the under-privileged weaker
nations hardly have a leverage to exert for a global redistribution of
resources. In the present environment, it may appear that whatever is being
said here is wishful thinking. But God's ways are strange. It should be
remembered that man has never been able to predict the future course of
history.
During the last few years,
everywhere in the world, unimaginable revolutionary changes have taken place in
political, financial and educational fields. The transformations, which this
world has seen in economic and political scenario between the first and the
second world wars and thereafter, have been extraordinary and were perhaps
beyond any stretch of imagination for the contemporary people. For instance the
changes which took place in Europe between the rise and fall of Hitler could
hardly have been thought of earlier. The events to happen should, therefore,
not be viewed in the background of present environment.
Advent of Global Brotherhood:
God is now going to eradicate wars
from the face of the earth once for all. Divine powers are not bothered about
trivialities like determent of atomic and chemical warfare. This much man is
capable of achieving with his own common sense. Since God wishes to deter wars
forever, HE will also remove the root cause - the boundaries between the
nations. In the days to come, the map of the world won't show the many small
and big countries as are in existence today. Since time immemorial man has been
toying with the concept of " One World – One Nation ". The idea of " Vasudhaiva
Kutumbakam " (all
beings as a global family) has been advocated since long. Now it is going to
become a reality.
Responsibilities of the Elders:
The largest number amongst the
people of the world consists of those who are backward from the point of view
of knowledge, resources, experience and skills. Since this is the class on
which the interests of majority depend, it deserves a preferential treatment.
The truth, however, is otherwise. The prosperous and knowledgeable sections of
society, which are in minority, have an upper hand. The mature-grown-ups are
supposed to look after the young ones. Following this principle, the so-called
elders – the privileged minority - are required to rethink and take care of the
under-privileged class of the people in the same manner as guardians bring up
their large number of children and make them self-dependent. Let it be known,
that the privileged minority will be made to give up the accustomed practice of
exploiting the helpless weaker people.
Reconcile to The Inevitable:
Divine activities and creations are
all miraculous. Out of a pitch dark cold night, suddenly appears the bright
glowing globe of the Sun. Being used to this phenomenon, man does not consider
it a miracle, which no doubt it is. In a clear sky, all of a sudden from
nowhere clouds appear and within moments cover man and beast alike with a heavy
downpour. This is greatly amazing.
The end of all wars is imminent and
it is the WILL OF GOD . Let man mend his ways
according to HIS desire.
Since the armaments created by man for global destruction are going to be
deactivated, let the sensible people also consider changing the present borders
of countries which are illogical and damaging from the point of view of cause
and consequences. This change would not depend upon superiority or might of man
with whom the more powerful pulls apart the larger chunk of flesh, but on
necessity of nature, which desires humanity to survive and live in peace for a
long time. Hence, instead of having skirmishes now and then, it would be much
better for man to take decisions once for all after considering all pros and
cons. It has to be done, since God desires man to do so.
