the opposite end there is USA. There is both bread as well as voting
right. Even so there is lack of peace and happiness. USA has highest
list in number of suicides, number of mental patients and number of
persons using tranquilizers to get sleep. People are puzzled as to
the cause of this new situation. Man obtained bread, he got his
voting right, still three is no peace, no happiness. Now they want
back their peaceful sleep. Sound and undisturbed sleep is a scarce
commodity in the present day America. Those who think realize that
there is a basic mistake some where, whereby even after acquiring
all good things of life, they are not happy.
The reason is that they have not
thought of the integrated human being. In our country we have
thoroughly considered this matter. That is why we have stated that
progress of man means progress of the body, mind, intellect and soul
of man, all together. Often it has been propagated that Bharatiya
culture thinks only salvation of the soul. It does not bother about
the rest. This is wrong. We do not think of the soul but it is not
true that we do not consider body, mind and intellect of much
importance. Other gave importance of body alone. Therefore our
attention to the soul is unique. With time this created and
impression that we are concerned only with the soul and not with
other aspects of human being. A young unmarried boy cares for his
mother, but after marriage he cares both for his wife as well as his
mother, and discharges his responsibilities towards both of them.
Now if anyone says that this man has no loves for his mother, it
would be untrue. A wife also loves only her husband at first, but
after the birth of child, she loves both her husband and child.
Sometimes an unthoughtful husband feels that his wife neglects him,
after the birth of their child. But this is generally not correct.
If that is true then the wife has certainly slipped in her duty.
