Our Duty and Responsibility in World's troubles

The important basis for world peace is the sentiment of "vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" (i.e. the world is a family). World peace had to be ushered in by peaceful means. Permanent peace can never be achieved with the power of weapons. Individuals or nations hope against hope for victory on the basis of oppression and arms. Man is a part of the society, society is a part of the nation and the nation is linked with the world. The existence of all is in danger without mutual co-operation. Peace is not possible with diplomacy.  So long as goodwill is absent from human hearts, goodwill and stability cannot be found in personal life and at international level. Instead we will have to rely on moral decisions and moral solutions.

Peace should be created through inner change in man. The root of wars and faults lies within us, therefore all the external efforts for protection will be useless.

The reason for the current poverty is the suffocating atmosphere surrounding us. Man is so much troubled by his habits in personal life that no path is visible which can free him and man feels like committing suicide. By blaming the circumstances, man can deceive himself for some time and lighten his heart, but that does not get any results. Our own faults, bad tendencies and bad deeds create terrible heart-burning, which turns our inner peace and equilibrium to ashes. In general every human being is terribly dissatisfied. With any onset of ill-luck, he becomes irritable and angry. The person resorts to such cowardly and immoral means as liquor and other intoxicants and adultery to forget his sorrow. But even that does not solve his problems. His troubles increase, not reduce. This is the pitiable picture of to-day's individual-life.

This Nepal, which once upon a time gave happiness and peace found only because of pristine purify of clean hearts, has to-day morally fallen. Criminal tendency has increased so much because of grief and disease, hardships and clashes, living in want and poverty, dissatisfaction and malice that people are afraid of even their near-ones and friends. The solid support of high thinking and reflection has crumbled down.

Mean ambitions are creating mean situations. The man thinking of progress is falling by the day into the chasm of downfall. In these unbalanced and destructive situations, only one question is present before mankind and that is, "how to get rid of the snake of destruction which has coiled itself round our necks in the last few centuries?" How to revive the past situations which used to give peace, happiness and satisfaction? The answer to all these questions is only one, that is, to revive religious spiritualism, that religious spiritualism which will bring high thinking in man and make him perform ideal deeds. Tremendous efforts must be made for purifying the thinking of the people. Purification of thinking and sentiments - that is the only solution to innumerable current problems of all kinds.

The extremely important truth must be understood in the interest of Nepal, the whole world and the whole mankind that we are at this cross-road of life and death. Events are taking place at such a fast peace that a quick decision in favor or against must be quickly taken. We cannot afford to wait and watch and take action when the time comes. If everything is to be allowed to continue as it is, then we must make preparation for the all-engulfing destruction and think only from the angle that now total destruction is very near.
