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 political, religious, intellectual,
industrial and other leaders in world can
influence the corruption of an individual in
any and every part of the world.
3. Perspective is like the space of
consciousness! If the “space” of
consciousness is normal, then perspective is
universal or normal! The degree of
restriction of that space of consciousness
determines the degree of the suffocation
and throttling of consciousness and
perspective also! The degree of this
suffocation and throttling corrupts
perspective proportionately.
Thus as the space of consciousness goes on
getting restricted and perspective goes
getting deteriorated, you start getting
separated from nature, world, countries,
religions, regions, provinces, sects,
linguistic groups, castes, communities,
creeds, sects and even your own family!
The disease of corrupted perspective is
subtle and hence not easily noticed. Since
the medial systems today have not learnt to
diagnose and treat the disease viz.
“corruption of perspective”; they do not
4. identify and treat this disease, which often
inflicts the medical systems themselves!
Sectarian and corrupt perspective makes
your thoughts, feelings and actions also
increasingly mean, lonely, weak, inert,
grumbling, intolerant, inconsiderate,
resentful, vindictive and miserably selfish
and pathogenic (many times concealed
under deceptive glamour and glitter) for
yourself and the society!
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.
What is corrupt thinking?
The holistic perspective or normal
perspective as gets corrupted (diseased and
degenerated) gradually becomes
increasingly NARROW, sick and sectarian.
5. From this sick and sectarian soil of corrupt
perspective, the sick and sectarian; corrupt
thinking germinates! Everything holistic
gets degenerated into everything sick and
sectarian!
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 racially discriminating constitutions,
the legal discrimination on the basis of
castes, legal yet unjust tax system/s to
exploit certain section for the benefit of
another section, the repressive laws against
trade, shops and such commercial activities,
the legalized destructive promotion of
alcohol, the various laws and rules with
respect to special economic zones and so on
are examples of “corrupt thinking”! The
present sectarian medical and education
6. systems (conspicuously lacking integration
and productive domain respectively) are
glaring examples of corrupt thinking.
The so called corruption (embodying mere
financial scams, bribing and even other
corrupt activities) is actually crude
symptom of the deeper disease viz. corrupt
thinking, which in turn is the crude
symptom of deeper disease viz. corrupt
perspective!
What are corrupt emotions?
The motivation behind the literature, art,
media, movies, dramas, advertisements and
so on (serving the sectarian aims, petty
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.
What are corrupt actions?
7. 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 i.e.
not only outside but within me as well!!
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) unknowingly
ignore the roots of corruption and hence are
not enough. They can not effectively
8. 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. It is said that
NAMSMARAN breaks open the throttling
shackles, which restrict the space of your
consciousness and thereby effectively treats
the corruption of your perspective, corrupt
thinking and corrupt feelings and actions
This universal solution NAMSMARAN
(which encompasses all visible and
invisible contingents) if practiced
universally; is said to rectify, repair, restore,
regenerate, rejuvenate and effectively
blossom the ROOTS of global perspective
and global conscience and cure the
subsequent fallouts of ubiquitous corruption
thinking, feelings and actions; right from its
roots.
9. This point of view however, like any
other view point needs verification on
a massive scale. As the “experiment”
does not involve invasive techniques,
is absolutely non traumatic, is totally
nontoxic, and is completely non-
expensive and does not poke or
interfere with any belief system, it
should be acceptable to everyone,
belonging to all beliefs and non-
beliefs!
