Sri Sri Thakur said the only way to bring about a cohesive society is to mobilize the members of the society around an Ideal. It is imperative that a society has to have a common ideal. That ideal should be such a person who fulfills each one as per distinctiveness. That person can guide and goad all the people on the path of progression without destroying their individual traits, liking and specialties. Once that person is upheld as Ideal and every body follows him a scene of collective prosperity dawns in the society. From the person’s point of view his interest in the Ideal also makes him inter-interested with others following same Ideal. Unity in diversity becomes a reality, when the diverse interests are fulfilled and diverse perspective are properly focused and streamlined.
Sri Sri Thakur was such an Ideal who can be, perhaps who has to be, projected that he is our national Ideal, if we want to have national integrity. Ideologically Sri Sri Thakur fulfills all other sectarian ideals. He does not have conflict with any sect, ism or viewpoint as long as it is brings about existential welfare. He said all isms get culminated in existentialism.
Sri Sri Thakur’s ideology makes a person so refined and flexible that he can accommodate others and serves others, so that collective co-existence becomes a reality. Integrity in thought and action, which comes out of practice of Sri Sri Thakur’s ideology sets the precondition for a collective harmony.
History is witness to the fact that a nation suffers when distorted ideologies are imposed on the lives of the people by leaders, who are mostly short sighted, who gets swayed away by their limited and selfish perception. Macro policies, which are set by such narrow objectives, make the people and society to pay a heavy price in terms of various kinds of set back. It is important that our leaders are led by Ideal like Sri Sri Thakur. They need to have understanding of the dynamics of eternal growth of man and mankind. Short-term expediency may kill the nation’s drive towards long term growth. Clarity in vision, interest in the good of others will sprout in the mind of a leader if he is guided by a seer, a master visionary like Sri Sri Thakur who knows what is required to be done at what level in which proportion and with kind of discrimination.
By placing Sri Sri Thakur’s all fulfilling ideology, we can save ourselves from the invasion of the degrading culture that is taking place now. Indian culture has something special, which keeps on bringing out the best in a person and goes on evolving through generations. That culture is being polluted by so called western culture, which basically degrades a person by the pull of the lower instincts. Indian culture can be brought to its height of glory, if we highlight Sri Sri Thakur’s image and ideology. It is Sri Sri Thakur who can perhaps be the best epitome of our culture and the quintessence of the best elements of our tradition.
Sri Sri Thakur has glorified Indo-Aryan culture in thousand words. No one has brought out the true nature of Indo-Aryan culture as Sri Sri Thakur has done. Sri Sri Thakur has also provided the ways and means of reviving our culture with scientific and rational temper. He has provided various kinds of schemes as to how administration will be done, how economic development can come, how can our people be gainfully employed and how can communal harmony be brought about and so many things covering the life of individual, family and society.
