"Ma'nus' yeno ma'nus'er tare sab kichu kare ya'y..." (P.S. 2192)
Purport:
Great persons-- proper human beings-- do everything in their life for
the upliftment of other human beings. In their mind they also never forget
that animals, birds, and plants also belong in their vast family. For such
sadhakas, no one is alien because in their heart they understand
that each and every being wants to survive & live a happy life.
Why do human beings remain crying, feeling isolated in their own
suffering after losing their path in the Cimmerian darkness. Our love and
care will bring everyone close to us; nobody will be left behind-- crying
and suffering in frustration. On this auspicious crimson occasion we will
save everyone and provide them shelter from the burning flame of
illiteracy, starvation, and all kinds of troubles. Elevated human beings
come on this earth to serve everyone, all humanity plus the birds,
animals, plants, flora and fauna, & animate and inanimate objects-- the
entire creation...
== CHANAKYA AND PITIFUL SITUATION OF USA ==
Namaskar,
Baba guides us that 2300 years ago a minister clearly warned his kingdom
of the ills of capitalism and gave the solution.
Now, in this modern era, the so-called greatest power on earth suffers
terribly from those very ills pointed out 2300 years ago.
The name of that sagacious minister was Chanakya of the Maurya dynasty.
The name of the county suffering today is the United States of America.
So the very seeds of destruction that now severely threaten to ruin the
seemingly once indomitable force of the USA were well understood by the
keen philosopher-sage Chanakya more then two thousand years ago.
In His Prout discourses, Baba highlights the accuracy and importance of
what Chanakya said, and side by side Baba has given us all the practical
answers for solving the woes of capitalism by establishing the era of
Prout.
BABA'S REIVEW OF CHANAKYA NITI
The famed pundit Chanakya put forth his views on political ethics &
economy in his nitishastra. He warned how the greed of capitalism will
strangle society and bring any kingdom to its knees.
Baba says, "Chanakya said that a business person who becomes extremely
rich is harmful to the state. If a king finds that somebody has become
extremely wealthy, he should reduce the person’s wealth and property by
imposing direct and indirect taxes on them. If he does not do this, the
vaeshyas may destroy the structure of the government unless they can
make it the tool of their exploitation." (HS-1)
Chanakya predicted that if the greedy capitalists remain unchecked then
they will take over the political arena in order to exploit the masses
and hoard more wealth.
And is that not exactly what we see happening today in the USA. The top
capitalist forces have lobbied for and put into legislation all they
need in order to accumulate huge piles of money, thereby strangling the
remaining 99.9% of society.
The common people in the US cannot get health care, unemployment is
rising, poverty is skyrocketing, housing is in crisis, education is
unaffordable - indeed each and every fundamental aspect of society is
spiraling out of the control. The common people can no longer survive,
yet still the capitalists are strategizing how to get even more money.
Such is the state of affairs in the US and that is the very hell that
Chanakya warned about ,long ago.
Chanakya's initial solution was to tax the wealthy. Yet we see that the
top vaeshyas in the USA have millions of tax loopholes, thus they are
able to evade taxes through fancy paperwork etc.
But that was not the only solution which Chanakya offered. See here
below what he says must be done if the capitalists escape the tax
structure.
Baba says, "Chanakya also said that if the imposition of taxes fails to
stop or control extremely wealthy vaeshyas, the king should poison them
to death through a secret agent." (HS-1)
So Chanakya mandated that those capitalists should be secretly killed if
they can't be stopped and continue to exercise their unbridled greed.
Before we pass judgment on Chanakya's words, let us see what Baba has
said in the very next sentence of His discourse.
Baba says, "These are indeed strong recommendations, but in that age of
social darkness there was no alternative." (HS-1)
Hence, Baba agrees that in certain circumstances such extreme action is
needed against those rapacious capitalists. Of course, in the present
age, we know that Baba has given Prout - that is our weapon for
combating capitalism. Our approach is not to kill capitalists per but
rather root out the disease of capitalism.
Please reference:
http://am-global-01.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-to-deal-with-capitalists.html
Fortunately back in the day, 2300 years ago, the capitalists heeded
Chanaky's guidelines and understood they were to give back to the people
- for the cause of social welfare.
Baba says, "[During the time of Chanakya] Vaeshyas received the good
advice that their responsibility was to earn money and undertake
charity, not to hoard wealth." (HS-1)
Thus, in those days of old those capitalists learned their lesson and
averted disaster. However, such is not the case today.
Baba says, "The vaeshyas of other times and other countries were unable
to fulfil the duties connected with their nature. Because the ignorant
people of ancient times were more religious, the vaeshyas used to
undertake a little charity in the hope of deriving some benefit in their
next life. But today in this age of materialism, vaeshyas are not the
slightest bit interested in undertaking charitable work in this life in
the hope of gaining some benefit in their next life." (HS-1)
HORRORS OF CAPITALISM IN THE USA
As Baba points out above, today's vaeshyas have no conscience - neither
in the social nor religious spheres. Due to their purely materialistic
outlook, they only focus on gaining more and more wealth and do not show
the least bit concern about redeeming themselves for the future.
That is why complete hell is mounting in the USA. None should think that
America is the land of glory and freedom.
With each and every passing day, the common people become more and more
shackled by ills of capitalism. They are losing their houses, losing
their jobs, losing their land, losing their savings, and losing each and
every bit of peace and tranquility
Take a look for yourself:
- "About 39.8 million Americans were living in poverty, up from 37.3
million in 2007. The Census Bureau said the poverty rate -- the
percentage of people living in poverty -- jumped to 13.2 percent, the
highest level since 1997, from 12.5 percent in 2007. "
As high as the poverty level is, these numbers are deceiving because
even people "above poverty level" suffer from severe financial woes and
pressures. Right now, the systemic issue is that everyone in the US is
worried about money and scared about the future. All are fighting for
survival - there are no safety nets to protect anyone from falling into
the dark chasm of misfortune.
- "The Census Bureau also said 46.3 million Americans were without
health insurance last year compared to 45.7 million in 2007."
Clearly the US is not the place to get sick. One in every 5 or 6 people
do not have insurance, and then of those who do hold insurance, often it
is poorly suited to their needs, i.e. it does not cover basic health
issues, certain procedures, or it is so expensive that they have to
struggle hard to pay for it.
Verily, each and every aspect of daily life is becoming more difficult
to manage in the United States - and the problem is only growing. All
these material woes - housing, health care, employment, education etc -
then create a whole new series of issues.
People in the US cannot find mental peace:
- "An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older — about one
in four adults — suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given
year...Major Depressive Disorder is the leading cause of disability in
the U.S. for ages 15-44."
-"A national survey has found that more than 8 million adults in the
United States seriously considered suicide last year."
Thus the horrors of capitalism do not just begin and end in the material
realm - it takes a huge toll on people mentally. At present, the US
population is being crushed: Mental stress, anxiety, worry, depression,
and other psychic ailments are pervasive throughout the land.
Today then we are seeing the grim reality of what Chanakya warned about
- and things are only getting worse.
THE SITUATION OF THE USA:
WHY ONLY GETTING WORSE
There are two basic reasons why things are still turning for the worse
in the United States.
Firstly, the common people do not yet understand that capitalism is bad.
Still people hold the top vaeshyas as being veritable heroes. People
like Bill Gates & Warren Buffet continue to be worshiped and honoured
like sages. Still people want to grow up and become like them. So that
is one problem: People do not know that capitalists are the agents of
hell; the general people in society defend the edicts of capitalism.
The second reason why things are only getting worse in the US is that
the greed of such capitalists knows no end. They are not content merely
to pile up more money than they can use - they want every single penny
until everyone else is totally destitute, nay completely ravaged.
Baba says, "Regarding earning money and hoarding wealth, most vaeshyas
today are pisha'cavats [ghouls]. In Sanskrit pisha'ca means “one who
breaks the neck of an animal and then sucks out all the blood, leaving
only the flesh and bones”." (HS-1)
So the warnings of Chanakya long ago hold true still today. That is why
in His Prout teachings Baba recognises the work of Charnakya.
At the same time, only Baba has given the expansive teachings of Prout
which can address & solve each and every problem and issue in society.
Our duty is to propagate those ideas in every way possible. People
need to hear the name Prout and learn what it is about. That is the
main aim at present.
BABA'S BLESSING:
PROUT IS THE SOLUTION
By His grace, Baba's hundreds of Prout discourses show the pathway
toward social equality and economic justice. Baba has given perfect
solutions and that is the only way for the US and other capitalistic
nations to escape the noose of the vaeshyan era as first warned about by
Chanakya.
Baba says, "PROUT is the panacea for the integrated progress of human
society. It aims to bring about equilibrium and equipoise in all aspects
of socio-economic life through totally restructuring economics. Without
PROUT, socio-economic emancipation will remain a utopian dream. Only
PROUT can save the world from depression."
"Furthermore, only PROUT is free from the inherent and exherent
staticity. In capitalism there is exherent and inherent staticity. In
communism there is extensive and intensive innate staticity. People
suffer from the ailments of staticity. These ailments will destroy all
forms of “isms” in the very near future. Wise people should utilize this
moment."
"We are near the last stage of the Vaeshya Era. If an impact is created,
it will help the suffering humanity. It is the most opportune moment for
creating an all-round revolution. This is a new sub-theory under
Proutistic theory and may be called gati vijina'na – the science of
dynamics in PROUT."
Namaskar,
Divyajyoti
Note 1: CAPITALISM DESTROYS THE HUMAN PERSONALITY
One other thing that cannot be overlooked about capitalism is that it
utterly destroys the human personality. People become worse than
animals. Even animals care for one another in their herd, flock, or
group. They all move together. They have their inherent feeling for one
another. Whereas in extreme capitalism this is not the case. Due to
extreme greed, people will cheat even their neighbors, nay their family
members.
One clear-cut and graphic example is this. Animal mothers will always
keep their babies in sight - sleeping together - breast feeding - and
being around them all the time. In contrast, in the top capitalist
nations, a basic trend is that females (we cannot even call them
mothers) are more concerned about their own sex appeal than their
child's welfare, hence they do not breast feed their children and they
do not keep their children nearby when sleeping. Rather those females
fashion themselves as sex tools for males, and the baby comes as an
after thought. Of course, this does not apply to absolutely everyone,
but it certainly is a pervasive trend in capitalist countries. Some
females have even drowned their own babies if they felt their male lover
would be happier if she did not have babies.
Really the situation of people in the capitalist era is worse than that
of animals in many respects.
Thus in so many ways, the integrity of society gets completely washed
away by the excessive desires, ills, and distorted values of capitalism
/ materialism.

`anusha'sanam'. And what is anusha'sanam? `Hita'rthe sha'sanam ityarthe

welfare, with the spirit of development, it is called `anusha'sanam' in
Sam'skrta. There is no corresponding English word." (AV-3 p.30)
