The word corruption is used so extensively and in so many contexts that
it’s meaning has become obscure! Hence corruption is usually and
wrongly equated with mere financial scams, bribing, kick backs etc.
Actually the corruption is as ubiquitous as life and the consciousness! The
degree of degradation (influenced by the surroundings and influencing
the surroundings as well) in one’s own eyes; either consciously or
subconsciously and knowingly or unknowingly; determines the degree of
corruption (one’s perspective, thoughts, feelings and actions)! The
environment and this corruption further interact and influence each
other continuously. The corruption of the leaders in different fields in the
world and that of the followers; also influence each other. Thus the
corruption of the world political, religious, intellectual, industrial and
other leaders can influence the corruption of an individual in any and
every part of the world.
For example; the paradigms or premises of the sectarian supremacy,
racial superiority, financial expansionism, religious imposition and so on
(without concern for the wellbeing of the entire world) constitutes
corruption of perspective.
The rationale behind the international and national laws, conventions,
traditions, rules, pacts, in tune with the above perspective; to a greater or
lesser extent (without concern for wellbeing of the entire world) constitute
the corruption in thoughts.
The motivation behind the literature, art, media, movies, dramas,
advertisements and so on (serving the sectarian aims, petty objectives,

2. and vested interests ingrained in the above intellectual themes; without
concern for the welfare of people at large or even at the cost of the
welfare of people at large) constitute the corruption of emotions and
instincts.
The actual laws, literature, art forms, media campaigns, movements, and
such every activity in different fields either organized or unorganized
(without concern for the welfare of the world or at the cost of the welfare
of the world) constitute the corruption in actions.
Considering the extent of corruption from the brief discussion above, it
should be clear how corruption is really ubiquitous!
But if you carefully ponder, then it would be clear that the roots of the
corruption thrive from the faulty perspective from which the corrupt
thoughts, emotions and actions spring.
Hence to rectify corruption; mere physical actions, emotional hue and cry
and intellectual jargons (even though they may constitute an inevitable
phase in the groping crusade against corruption) are not enough. They
can at best give mastrurbatory excitement and sterile fulfillment. They
can not effectively blossom the global perspective and global conscience.
For this i.e. to rectify, repair, restore, regenerate, rejuvenate and
effectively blossom the ROOTS of global perspective and global
conscience the answer is NAMASMARAN.
This universal solution NAMSMARAN (which encompasses all visible
and invisible contingents) if practiced universally; can certainly rectify,
repair, restore, regenerate, rejuvenate and effectively blossom the
ROOTS of global perspective and global conscience and cure the
ubiquitous corruption right from its roots.
