Someone who sincerely tries to look for evil and is very sincere in his effort, finds very quickly no one is as evil as our own mind
Now mind you, this is not an easy mental exercise. But honestly, if you observe your own mind and the random thoughts that are in the mind – they are quite terrible. It is merely that we don’t act on it. The mind constantly goes from sex to food to having ego to anger or like dislike towards others. The mind does not hesitate in retaliation towards others.
Now, I include even a seconds fleeting thought. This level of calmness is rare that you can truly notice that our calmness and inner Joy is being constantly robbed by our own thoughts.
If only we could maintain that Joy strongly, the world problems would be solved. Because at that point , random thoughts would be replaced with a kind understanding for others. However for this to succeed 80-90% percent people have to be on the path
At that point what would be the need for laws or rules etc. It would be minimal. So ALL RELIGIONS have failed because going to churches or temples has not really changed the inner mind if people. Selfishness is still the ruler.
Any society that has an enormous number of laws and attorneys and law enforcement are loudly proclaiming – society has failed. Humanity has failed. Sad but true
So if you seek some reprieve, and go to higher worlds where there are more Nobel selfless people, change your own mind. The only ticket to go to those worlds is a clean mind with no thoughts of anger or retaliation or selfish needs. Of course it can be more permanent if only your own mind was clean. We ourselves execute our destiny in heaven or hell
What can I say, spontaneous niceness of the mind ( constantly ) is rare. And that my friend is purity.
