Swamyji has suggested that sense of belonging is the solution to the problem of corruption. But increasing corruption indicates that people are losing their sense of belongingness, what to talk of to nation or society even to their families, despite all kinds of\'education\' . Because now what is being promoted and glorified through all media is \'wrong\'only (in terms of common man\'s values)in the form of ads and programmes showing always high life and best possible faces i.e. things not a happenning in common man\'s life.These are adversily affecting directly the children and youth and so the society\'s future.Children are rather becoming rebellious . Who censor, clear and sanctions all these? Obviously the persons who are highly resourceful educated , positioned, powerful justifying their acts by using high sounding words. Punishing wrong now is proving something like \'Beej Rakta\'. For curbing corruption protection of the honest and sincere people is equally important, so that this unprotected minorty is saved from extinction and think how we spread them. To reverse the trend very common man and their basic requirements should be the focus of our all deeds.

Question: If spirituality could have removed poverty and other evils from this society, spirituality prevails in india since times immemorial, but not even a tinge of evil has been removed. On the contrary it has inreased multifold.

???>>>>prevails means it still exists and revived is what I read.It can't be destroyed. The answer lies in your question itself. yes,problems became multifold because ageless wisdom is not followed. read below and try to ask questions.also,

spirituality means understanding that you are not the body,mind,intellect but you are beyond all this and pretty much you are sparc of divine.that's all.(Aham Brahmasmi) so once folks are educated in that manner from childhood, you will maintain balance in daily life.As Dr.Kalam said, happiness at the individual level is what leads to society's welness, individuals are responsible for whatever they are. Our Karmic law teaches us that only. Our Veda's say that before you start talking about world, first change yourself.

also, spiritual masters look at the big picture.so...

Question: But if spirituality is for those who are afraid to lose thier wrongly amassed wealth which is the case as on today, then...down with spirituality!

Answer: Spiritual Master's look at the Big Picture, not like you and me. for them good/evil are the bothsides of the same coin..we think good is separate and evil is separate,but they think all are one...you and I are just from one source..only the mind that creates trouble which makes one bad or good...they look at you and me as a sparc from the same source...that's all..their compassion pours from that realisation..that's why they always be positive under testing circumstances also.

Just because some frauds misuse, you can't claim the whole spirituality itself bad.It is there for 3 yugas...in fact, they know that empty stomach won't solve the purpose..that's why they undertake so much of service activity..also, bad guys comes to gurus and inturn gets transformed..(Not all, but atleast some of them)...

Sir, corrupt people are like parasites in your intestines(systems) sucking nutrients depriving your body(country).If you want to deworm with medicines(laws)you will have to starve them(parasites/corruption) otherwise the medicines will fail. Recently, Mr Veerappa Moily wanted to do right things for this nation, but his pursuit is misleading. IAS and IPS are not the kingpin in this game. Mr Moily must address the root cause of this mess of corruption. Firstly, he should target the breeding ground which generate all sorts of corruptions. The standing committees and plan sanctioning authorities are the main culprits. If any department gets its financial sanctions/approvals 5 or 10 times more than what is originally required, by providing false exaggerated technical or non-technical nomenclature to the conniving authorities then the so-called CORRUPTION has to take place. Now Mr Moily and his likes must understand where these parasites are camouflaged in the systems
