The master key to solutions
But the human being needs more from his creator for his complete guidance and course correction.
Humans, as his children and subjects, were given strands of eternal divine knowledge in the form of the Vedas at the onset of creation. This is because the creator is responsible for his creation and has to guide his human subjects on the path to deliverance. Moreover, these subjects are inherently seekers of deliverance from all sorrow.
Human problems are the fallout of the violation of the laws of healthy and happy living enunciated in the divine scriptural texts of true knowledge—the Vedas. We need to go back to these eternal divine guidebooks. Discourse of these divine texts will reveal our knowledge gaps and deficiencies and equip us to resolve all our problems and issues successfully.
Since human beings are imperfect in intellect, they are liable to discount and disbelieve the threads of true knowledge. They are often driven by passion, bloated ego, and anger, which causes them to fail to grasp true knowledge or its source. This is where correction is needed. For every problem, the solution exists alongside it. Identifying and implementing the solution is the key.
All problems spring from the transgression of the divine material and spiritual laws given to us by the all-powerful and all-knowing creator. In many cases, the problems are unnecessarily magnified and complicated because of the same known human frailties that undermine human receptivity to internal divine signals. And the solutions are often incredibly simple.
True knowledge is not necessarily the opinion of the human majority. The human majority can continue to wallow in ignorance and confusion for decades and centuries. Course correction is needed in such cases and this course correction can come only from the same eternal divine knowledge base of the Vedas. The present generation of humans is grappling with a serious problem of environmental pollution, climate change-caused natural calamities, crime, corruption, fear psychosis and insecurity. The world at the present is staring at the spectre of a major world war which can see the use of deadly weapons and a nuclear holocaust. Let us examine all these problems from a fresh perspective in the above framework and explore the solutions accordingly.
The solutions could be remarkably simple, for all we know.
