He will cause their state of fear to be replaced by a sense of security. Let them worship Me and associate no other with Me. Whoever still chooses to deny the truth is truly rebellious. (24: 55) Political dominance or an ideal and righteous socio-political system is not something that will materialize out of thin air. In this world, righteous individuals are always needed to establish a righteous system. In the absence of righteous people, a righteous government cannot be established. This is exactly according to rule of action and consequence. Aiming for a harvest of fruits, one must pass through the rigorous stage of planting seeds. No one can ever relish the taste of fruit without doing the necessary work of planting the seeds in the field. The same principle is at work with regard to the establishment of a socio-political system. Those who seek political glory need to first instil a higher level of faith in the people. They should first try to build a lofty moral character in the people. They should prepare such individuals who deal with people rising above all kinds of psychological stimuli, who have the capability to remain modest even after attaining power, who are not lured away when the treasures of the Earth fall into their hands, who stick to the principle of justice even after their ego has been hurt. Such individuals establish a righteous system. Without such people, raising the slogan of political rule is in fact a cause of corruption in the land, not a positive resultoriented action. o Those who seek political glory need to first instil a higher level of faith in the people. They should first try to build a lofty moral character in the people. Our Vernacular Websites www.cpsmarathi.com www.cpstamil.com www.cpskannada.com www.cpsmalayalam.com
