and the end of Reality is the Real Bliss. When that too is gone, we have reached the Destination”. The summom bonum of humanity lies in two things. One is to recognise the basic role of the religion as a stepping stone for individual shaping as a good and real human being to enable him to fit into the society as a part of the Whole. It should not be allowed, any more, either for aggressive propagation or as a tool for political and economic power. Secondly, but more importantly, all religious activities must be focussed towards the spiritual growth of every individual based on the premises of moderation, service, sacrifice and fraternity. The age of absolute materialism has come to an end. The efforts of the mankind to maintain a civilisation based on materiality has failed to sustain itself. It is time now for spirituality to govern the way of life of all human beings in the world. It is the right time to prepare ourselves accordingly before it becomes too late. The signs of desperation are already on the horizon. The time for CHANGE has come. If we do not cooperate, the “Divine Will” will prevail. Either we willingly yield to the spiritual path and be participants in the saga or restoring World Harmony and Balance or be subjected to the onslaught of TIME in all its furious dimensions. The option is with us; but TIME no more will be with us.
The caste system which has perpetuated itself in the Indian society as an expression of Hindu religion is more detrimental and derogatory to human dignity. What has originated as a means to the division of work and labour in the collective living of people has come to permeate all the social spheres eroding the core elan vital of our cultural integrity leading to permanent divisions of people. The castes have almost assumed “religion” proportions with each trying to maintain and capitalise on these artificial identities. These sections of population harbour feelings of hatred and jealousies towards each other. The whole society is moving towards total disintegration and eventual exploitation by extra-territorial elements. Rev. Babuji Maharaj says that the Time is now at hand when this evil shall soon cease to exist. Nature is at work to put an end to this obnoxious and dangerous bane of social practice. As a Nation, we have failed to stem this rot, leave alone Reversing the trend. A collective response from all segments like the people, the Government, the Religious Heads and the social organisations is the call and requirement of the day. Radical, nay; surgical, countermeasures should be taken to obliterate this social evil. Passive and half-hearted measures during the last century specially after the Independence have not made even the slightest dent on this burning problem. One of the major routes of caste-integration may be through the “Institution of Marriage”. The first step is to prohibit intra-caste marriages followed by well-calculated measures for marriages and other social ties between specified castes - separate for boys and girls. There will be widespread opposition for such far-reaching measures. We have to precede it
