well........ a few days back i read that most of the black money stashed away in swiss banks by high profile people in our country has been moved out of these banks within the last one year and sent to locations like Malaysia , Mauritius , etc . so that if there is any drive by the government of INDIA to get back our money for the benefit of our country then they wont be affected . after the Swiss Banks declared that Nations could recover the money kept by there Nationals in Illegal ways (some 2 years back) the government should have taken immediate steps so that the culprits could not displace their money . but the dily daling attitude of the government inspite of the National hue and cry on this matter clearly indicates how corruption has spread as a CANCER in the whole system of the country .even if an individual tries to do his own bit by avoiding corrupt habits , he or she would not be allowed to survive in this system . 'either swim with us or sink alone'.
i will tell you an interesting situation i had faced in my school . i noticed that when teachers joined in the beginning they used to teach sincerely and solve our doubts with interest . so we assumed that was probably because they had come from better schools and knew how to teach better . but within a year itself their attitude changed drastically . they made a show of teaching , as if loosing interest and discouraging students from asking doubts . then i worked out that in this system that existed in the school majority of the teachers did not want to teach sincerely or clear doubts . so they can not allow the new teacher to change the system or else they have to upgrade their performance . hence collective pressure on the better teacher will help preserve the system to their advantage .
the moral aspect of maintaining the highest ideals of the teaching profession , or doing one's duty sincerely did not cross the minds of the teachers . WHY???
THATS what corruption does!!!!!!!!
it modifies values and morals in society , it makes us worse human beings , it leaves a burden on the next generation to clean up society and the system . it pollutes mother nature , it misuses resources and funds which ultimately creates hurdles i providing basic civic amenities to the citizens . it percolates into the lives of all rich and poor alike . i also helps to break up age old social systems that have made this country great for thousands of years .
even the people who are neck deep in the system and are corrupt to their finger tips are not exactly spared . excess money that is not earned by ones sweat and bloood manifests its evils in different ways . they loose their sense of morals , living lives of addiction towards alcohol and women , encouraging prostitution in the country , torturing their daughters-in-law for dowry in inspite of having sufficient wealth to last for generations , forcing their wife to kill an unborn female child inspite of having sufficient wealth to give her a bright future , spreading rampant eve-teasing in the Capital of the Nation as the current system has underlined in society that wealth earned through legal or illegal means gives you and your family the power to treat people like dirt , to treat women like doormats , to treat nature as if GOD has given you the exclusive right to destroy it provided you have the right contacts and funds to back you.
WHEN WILL THE PEOPLE IN POWER , THE THINKERS , THE PHILOSOPHERS , THE EXPERTS in various fields come together as a unit to think for COMMON NATIONAL GOOD.
Perhaps like the New York Business School , people in high positions (those who can make the right changes in the system ) should read up 'THE GITA' , dicourses by Lord SHREE KRISHNA to ARJUN on the battle field of Kurushetra 6,000 years ago .
the message of this great book in short is ;
1) "if you work towards others happiness you get back many times more returns for yourself".
2) "the more you pursue your personal happiness at the cost of happiness of others the less you earn and the more you fall ".
3) "do your karma (duty) under all situations , without any self interest , dont bother for the returns because returns will automatically come to you without your asking".
4) "you have only your conscience to guide you . if you have done the right thing in that situation then GOD is with you. you can easily cross this Bhavsagar (an ocean , in spiritual terminology the Earth is a myth which creates a Kaleidoscope of experiences thats like a trick of magic . one has to stay put till we live trying to maintain the highest ideals of human life inspite of umpteen difficulties in the path.) provided god is on your side . whats more if you have really tried to do your best by everyone then you need not come back on the EARTH again after this birth .
