Vethathiri Maharishi Answer: An analysis about the origin of human beings will reveal that man could have evolved only from the animals with five senses.
They in turn must have come out of the animals with four, three and two senses starting from the plants with a single sense.
How do the animals with sensory perceptions ranging from two to five exist? They survive by feeding on the other animals.
This results in the creation of 3 types of imprints, viz. those relating to the killing of the other animals, robbing them and destroying their freedom.
These acts of robbery and destruction leave imprints in the body cells and the genetic centre that are passed on through the generations.
At the level of man they remain stored in the bio-magnetic field, from where they blossom into actions depending on the needs and circumstances.
Man’s outward extension is the mind and the mind is nothing but a phenomenon of the bio-magnetism.
Air can't enter the water filled vessel. Similarly material attachments can't enter the mind filled with consciousness.
This can only be achieved by Meditation and Introspection.
Why no-one in the world is able to do anything to change this degenerated situation?
whether he is a power-wielding politician or a military chief or a multi-national, multimillionaire industrialist, or a scientist.
In the primitive ages, before the development of sixth sense, man lived much as other animals do even now, enjoying the natural resources as they were.
After he learnt to cultivate food grains and give artificial shapes and artistic beauties to the natural resources for his enjoyment of pleasure and survival, his knowledge with the experiences of life developed by leaps and bounds.
He progressed tremendously in the life-style, discovering and mastering the arts of using fire, metals, electricity and atomic energy.
Also he had to face and overcome a variety of calamities flowing from natural disasters.
On the whole, mankind has passed through several ages on the Earth and derived innumerable experiences of life.
In the modern age, life is replete with properties. To enjoy the happiness of life and better comforts, the whole world is now linked in communication, transport, politics, economics, technology and spirituality.
Having acquired and accumulated all the Nature-given providences and man-made wonders mentioned above, how is it that man-kind is still suffering from and contending with multifarious problems?
Even in family-life there are innumerable problems for each individual, whether poor or affluent, educated or unlettered.
In the society as a whole, there are poverty, illiteracy, inhuman behavior, conflicts, in-fighting, litigation and crimes.
In the political administration there are bribery, party-squabbles, jealousy and vengeance.
In the economic realm there are disparity, greed, acquisitive aggression and unconscionable waste.
In industry and business we see insatiable desire to accumulate more and more wealth even though it is overflowing already, the deliberate manufacture of substandard commodities, adulteration and cupidity for exorbitant profits.
Some industrialists are enthusiastically manufacturing horrendous weapons to torture, wound and kill the human race.
In the ethics of society we see violent activities, neglect of others feelings, comforts, welfare, prestige and freedom, defiance of governmental authority and selling justice.
In the spiritual field too conspiracy, deceit and imposing on the faithful are evident.
All these inhuman behaviors are common today in the world society.
This painful state of affairs is only increasing day by day.
Fear of one’s life, a constant feeling of insecurity and bewilderment are significant everywhere.
Of course, there are good people in all places and spheres but they are also much affected mentally and physically and they are suffering from the misdeeds of others brazen in their wrong-doing.
Even though one may be pure-minded, honest and trying to lead a conscientious life, knowingly or unknowingly he is forced to get entangled in the dreadful gamble of life in the world.
Why, why all these painful situations in the world? There must be some cause for such a deterioration of human behavior.
By the pressure of ever-increasing pains and miseries, almost everyone, whether a partner in atrocity or a victim, has started thinking that this situation should change.
All should be free to enjoy a peaceful and secure life.
However no-one in the world is able to do anything to change this degenerated situation, whether he is a power-wielding politician having stupendous resources of men and material at his disposal, a military chief having serried ranks at his beck and call, an exalted religious supremo ruling a world-wide fraternity or a multi-national, multimillionaire industrialist, or a scientist capable of manufacturing sophisticated robots to help the human race and also equally capable of manufacturing nuclear bombs to destroy the entire world many times over in a matter of minutes.
Even though one wishes sincerely to do good for the world he is helpless because nothing can be done by him to change the situation. Why?
What is the difficulty?
The plain truth of the matter is that no-one is prepared to change his own concepts or behavior.
