Politicians are elected leaders of the society or a country. We find hardly any politician today following the principles of Truth. If there is a stray politician who wishes to be truthful, the majority will soon reject him. Is there any one who is not a victim of lust, greed or name and fame? How can a man serve under any one of these gates to hell as referred to by the Gita and all other religions?

Gitaji teaches us that all actions, unless performed as yagna, or selfless service, cause bondage. So we must not attach ourselves to actions or fruits of actions but must perform them out of love just as Nature performs for the good of all. A mango tree or a rose plant has nothing to gain from us, yet they performs perfectly for the benefit of all without distinguishing between men and women, without considering caste, creed, religion, nation, geography, or any other artificial man-made barriers.

Here, we speak of commerce in its larger meaning - commerce as not only dealings in goods but all dealings or interactions among individuals. Interactions with individuals include interactions between a husband and wife, among family members, among neighbors and friends or among any members of society members  and with all creatures -- small or large. Commerce also includes interactions with Nature and its five basic elements of space, air, fire, water and earth, with the universe and with everything that is included in the past, present and future times.

Proper education for our younger generation should be the single most important element in their lives. Education can be defined in several ways, but keeping in mind that the purpose of a human being is to realize God during this very life, it becomes extremely important that education is based on morality and building pure character in every single individual. Molding the life of a person for the ultimate good includes worldly good as well as spiritual good.

Man is an image of God and as such possesses a real potential not only to represent the Creator but also become One. There lies the beauty of Creation as well. Pleasures or joys of life are natural since they are built into creation. However we find that lower pleasures do cause pain and agony. Some of our ancestors, sages and saints, having experienced these perishable pleasures, came to conclusions that there must be a better way to realize the unending joys of life.

Civilization continues to unfold today through the advent of modern science and technology. These discoveries and achievements do have some positive aspects provided we do not disregard the most important aspect of all: humanity.

It's a known reality that the gap between the haves and the have-nots has not narrowed but widened with advances in science and technology. This is in direct contrast to the ultimate purpose of science and technology, which is to enrich the lives of the unfortunates with peace, joy and love.

Worship means reverence and respect paid to God, the Creator, the Master of the Universe, the one who controls, rules, loves, sustains, and rules this creation according to the law of Karma, also known as the law of Love.
