This document discusses the concept of corruption and how it is ubiquitous. It states that corruption refers not just to financial scams but the degradation of one's perspective, thoughts, feelings, and actions, which are influenced by and influence one's surroundings. Corruption exists in political, religious, intellectual, and other leaders and institutions and influences individuals worldwide. To truly address corruption, the document argues that merely addressing its physical manifestations is not enough, but that the root cause lies in faulty perspectives. The document proposes that the universal solution is "Namasmaran," a practice that can rectify perspectives and global conscience at the root level to cure ubiquitous corruption.

2. 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

3. 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

4. objectives, 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

5. 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.

6. 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.
