Mass movements can form when many people share idiosyncrasies, leading to mania serving mediocre or harmful ends. If affected or seeing others fall prey, understand they are in fetters of mediocrity. Practice self-reflection to remove your own fetters and express views with conviction, as ideals take time to be practiced. Though there may be societal lag, have confidence that good will ultimately win.

1. THE FETTERS AND THE FREEDOM
The idiosyncrasies of a person can
match with those of millions and take
the form of mass mania. So you can see
movements, agitations, campaigns,
protests and even violence in society to
serve very mediocre or mean purpose.
The question is what to do if you get
adversely affected by it? What to do if
you see the majority falling prey to
detrimental or disastrous ideas?
First understand that they are in the
fetters of their mediocrity. Second
practice NAMASMARAN to get rid of
your own and their fetters of mediocrity
and third express your views with full
conviction and confidence. Remember
that there is always some lag between
ideal and practice! So do not worry
about minutia in society. You will win!
