Corrupt
Perspective, Thinking, Feelings and Actions
by
Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar
 The word corruption is used so extensively and in so many contexts that
it’s meaning has become obscure! Hence corruption is usually and wrongly
equated with mere financial scams, bribing, kick backs etc.
Actually the corruption is as ubiquitous as life and the consciousness!
The degree of degradation (influenced by the surroundings and
influencing the surroundings as well) in one’s own eyes; either
consciously or subconsciously and knowingly or unknowingly; determines
the degree of corruption (one’s perspective, thoughts, feelings and
actions)! The environment and this corruption further interact and
influence each other continuously. The corruption of the leaders in
different fields in the world and that of the followers; also influence
each other. Thus the corruption of the political, religious,
intellectual, industrial and other leaders in world can influence the
corruption of an individual in any and every part of the world.
Perspective is like the space of consciousness! If the “space” of
consciousness is normal, then perspective is universal or normal! The
degree of restriction of that space of consciousness determines the
degree of the suffocation and throttling of consciousness and
perspective also! The degree of this suffocation and throttling corrupts
perspective proportionately.
Thus as the space of consciousness goes on getting restricted and
perspective goes getting deteriorated, you start getting separated from
nature, world, countries, religions, regions, provinces, sects,
linguistic groups, castes, communities, creeds, sects and even your own
family!
 The disease of corrupted perspective is subtle and hence not easily
noticed. Since the medial systems today have not learnt to diagnose and
treat the disease viz. “corruption of perspective”; they do not identify
and treat this disease, which often inflicts the medical systems
themselves!
Sectarian and corrupt perspective makes your thoughts, feelings and
actions also increasingly mean, lonely, weak, inert, grumbling,
intolerant, inconsiderate, resentful, vindictive and miserably selfish
and pathogenic (many times concealed under deceptive glamour and
glitter) for yourself and the society!
For example; the paradigms or premises of the sectarian supremacy,
racial superiority, financial expansionism, religious imposition and so
on (without concern for the wellbeing of the entire world) constitutes
corruption of perspective.
What is corrupt thinking?
The holistic perspective or normal perspective as gets corrupted
(diseased and degenerated) gradually becomes increasingly narrow, sick
and sectarian.
From this sick and sectarian soil of corrupt perspective, the sick and
sectarian; corrupt thinking germinates! Everything holistic gets
degenerated into everything sick and sectarian!
The rationale behind the international and national laws, conventions,
traditions, rules, pacts, in tune with the above perspective; to a
greater or lesser extent (without concern for wellbeing of the entire
world) constitute the corruption in thoughts.
The racially discriminating constitutions, the legal discrimination on
the basis of castes, legal yet unjust tax system/s to exploit certain
section for the benefit of another section, the repressive laws against
trade, shops and such commercial activities, the legalized destructive
promotion of alcohol, the various laws and rules with respect to special
economic zones and so on are examples of “corrupt thinking”! The present
sectarian medical and education systems (conspicuously lacking
integration and productive domain respectively) are glaring examples of
corrupt thinking.
The so called corruption (embodying mere financial scams, bribing and
even other corrupt activities) is actually crude symptom of the deeper
disease viz. corrupt thinking, which in turn is the crude symptom of
deeper disease viz. corrupt perspective!
What are corrupt emotions?
The motivation behind the literature, art, media, movies, dramas,
advertisements and so on (serving the sectarian aims, petty objectives,
and vested interests ingrained in the above intellectual themes; without
concern for the welfare of people at large or even at the cost of the
welfare of people at large) constitute the corruption of emotions and
instincts.
What are corrupt actions?
The actual laws, literature, art forms, media campaigns, movements, and
such every activity in different fields either organized or unorganized
(without concern for the welfare of the world or at the cost of the
welfare of the world) constitute the corruption in actions.
Considering the extent of corruption from the brief discussion above, it
should be clear how corruption is really ubiquitous i.e. not only
outside but within me as well!!
The roots of the corruption thrive from the faulty perspective from
which the corrupt thoughts, emotions and actions spring.
Hence to rectify corruption; mere physical actions, emotional hue and
cry and intellectual jargons (even though they may constitute an
inevitable phase in the groping crusade against corruption) unknowingly
ignore the roots of corruption and hence are not enough. They can not
effectively blossom the global perspective and global conscience.
For this i.e. to rectify, repair, restore, regenerate, rejuvenate and
effectively blossom the roots of global perspective and global
conscience the answer is Namsmaran. It is said that
Namsmaran breaks open the throttling shackles, which restrict the
space of your consciousness and thereby effectively treats the
corruption of your perspective, corrupt thinking and corrupt feelings
and actions
This universal solution Namsmaran (which encompasses all
visible and invisible contingents) if practiced universally; is said to
rectify, repair, restore, regenerate, rejuvenate and effectively blossom
the roots of global perspective and global conscience and cure the
subsequent fallouts of ubiquitous corruption thinking, feelings and
actions; right from its roots.
This point of view however, like any other view point needs verification
on a massive scale. As the “experiment” does not involve invasive
techniques, is absolutely non traumatic, is totally nontoxic, and is
completely non-expensive and does not poke or interfere with any belief
system, it should be acceptable to everyone, belonging to all beliefs
and non-beliefs!
