Modern Review August 1932

1932

Krishna propounded to Arjun the marvellous doctrine of the 13hagaradyitrz and it was at the end of the war but on the same battlfield that Bhishma warrior and preceptor while waiting calmly for death discoursed with matchless wisdom on the duties of kings the need of patience and resourcefulness in difficulties and went on to explain at length the doctrines of the religion and salvation. [...] Has not history been a witness to the physcal and moral decadence and degradation of every imperial race and its ultimate extintion ? The hardships of the camp and the battlefield the discipline of self-denial and abstemiousness are succeeded by the pleasures of the palace and the possession of wealth. [...] The world is still far from the stage when every human being as such will be entitled to the minimum of food and raiment which make his humanity possible and so long as such is the case the concentration of the Bolshevik energies on the winning of material goods on increasing the productive efficiency of the people is but the perception of the ultimate spiritual truth. [...] The tendency of all goverments at least those which are in the van of progress and which have the welfare of the people at heart is to recognize the obligations of the State vis-A-vis of the poor and to direct the machinery of administration for the purpose of maximizing the happiness of the people as a whole. [...] States of mind are now seen to be more important for the world's welfare the world's peace and the world's prosperity and to have more direct ifluence upon these than the price of wheat of cotton of copper of oil the condition of the banks or the earnings of the railways.
