My Views on Some Issues

In my view, what is required is that people change themselves on positive lines. A participant remarked, “We are just guests on this planet—a very lousy guest.” The correct thing to say is that man has been placed on this Earth that belongs to God for the purpose of the test. The notion of ‘guest’ does not engender a sense of responsibility in a person. However, someone in whose mind the concept of ‘test’ gets fixed will be vigilant. He will adopt a responsible way of living. Then one will feel duty-bound to live a responsible life. A lady from America, who happened to be the director of an institute, said that the greatest need is for self-supporting regional economies today. To my mind, this suggestion is not in accordance with practical realities. This age is an age of globalisation. Today, a global economy is rapidly being established across the world. In such a situation, only that sort of vision is appropriate, which is according to the conditions of the age. No theory or scheme, no matter how beautiful it might appear, can work if it ignores the demands of the times. We have to plan based on practical realities.
