Everyone in this world has opinions based on his desires, perceptions and motivations. It is not an understatement to say that strong personalities often influence common people in framing their opinions about life and justice.
In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy, a group of such strong individuals with their so-called education make up a law. And people are expected to abide by such a law. If we analyze the purpose of that law, we see it most often results in discrimination and wrongly motivated at various levels. Such groups can turn into states, countries which can frame their own laws based on their own understanding and motivations.
Today Terrorism is one such situation. The people involved in such activities are not just doing to cause panic or to get something out of the activity. But they are very much convinced that their understanding is superior and their goal as the highest. Infact in reality, they are just a group of individuals who believe in some ideology very strongly. This is on one end of spectrum, where such a person sees that people in general are irreligious , and a so-called religious person with a mentality to prove his superiority and controllership, justifies his actions as service to God.
On the other end we also see communism, which has its roots deep into the atheistic culture. It is a path where laws are made according to the needs and any transgression is seen as the highest misdemeanor. The latest execution of a drug smuggler by Chinese authority is one such example, wherein a country believes in a certain law and follows it and justifies their actions based on law of the state.
What we fail to see is that the Lord in His Holy Scriptures has put forth detailed rules and regulations, some of which are general and some which need specific guidance to understand for sane living and high thinking. And, we have been grossly violating them for our own selfish purposes and have caused a great disservice to the humanity by disobeying them. And without addressing that issue, which is the root of all issues, one cannot come to any factual peaceful resolution on any issue in this material world.
What this world needs is not such low character examples, but a character which bases its action on higher realm, guided by similarly higher character, and who can see the reality based on the great authority (transcendental scriptures) and guide the people with compassion, integrity and without exploitation. It is a truth, that real law is made by God. If that is not real then it would be such a chaotic world, where everyone makes their own laws, which in turn forces discrimination between individuals, societies and countries. It fails the idea of global peace both in its idea and practice. And it ultimately encourages discrimination and expolitation for selfish interests at all levels. Ultimately as a human being such an idea can never satisfy our heart and mind.
Where can we find such law?
It is available. But it is hard to find an individual who is an embodiment of such a truth. And such individuals are Vaisanvas, the pure devotees of Lord beyond sectarian understanding of religion and ideas. It is easy to misinterpret law if it is only based on a book, but not if one has also grasped it in spirit. A devotee of God, by his devotion and love, develops genuine godly qualities and understands the esoteric application of such a law by the grace of the Lord. When common people and leaders turn to such pure souls, who are not manufactured by people but recognized as great characters by all learned or sincere men, and seek guidance from them, this world will see a great difference. It will change from animal society to a human society, where there is a guarantee of real shelter and example. The result is we can see millions get inspired to follow such an ideal. Even though ordinary people can misunderstand such souls, still all honest people can see the great qualities of such a being, because only such a person can show the true meaning of love, compassion, forgiveness, which are all the wonderful qualities of Almighty Lord.
The so called human laws which states create to govern their states bring great karmic reactions to people, and leaders. But the laws put forth by God in the form of his holy scriptures and also in accepting the authority of higher class of noble souls, recognized by their character and activities, leads everyone towards happiness, peace and gradually towards the ultimate perfection of life.
