JUNE 30 — It all began with a comment I made in a WhatsApp group, in response to an American friend's post about the 1969 riots in Malaysia: “Alas, a political solution is not the answer because politicians, like all of us, have selfish interests. Unfortunately, they are unable to make the connection between collective interest and their own.”
In the Vedas, there are four basic sciences: Philosophy, Education, Politics and Economics. All these sciences stem from one original premise, i.e. there is a natural order of things which, if we don't follow or comply with , we will end up with bad consequences. The solution I am referring to will mean that politics is not separate from “religion,” i.e. the basic foundation of the solution is spiritual, albeit the implementation will involve material mechanisms that reflect or align with Dharmic or religious principles.
For example, humanity and the rest of the inhabitants of Earth, which I call Earthlings collectively, are now facing a crisis far greater than the Covid-19 pandemic, i.e. the climate crisis and mass extinction, but the will to do something about it is far far less than what resources and attention we have put into fighting the Covid-19 pandemic.
