The dilution of social qualities in Hinduism🔗

Hinduism had principles of Love, Care, and Service. It is not that without those principles Hinduism grew up. Unfortunately in course of time, they all have been portrayed as a secondary qualities that may not be that important for enlightenment.

What went missing?

The eternity being brought to immediacy, the context of eternity being brought to everyday lifestyle went missing. The Upanishadic truth of 'you exist in everything and everything exists in you' was not applied in day to day life.

We had all the best things. But in course of time we put some things in the back-burner; like being in completion with others. All the suffering we are having, all the degradation we are facing, all the abuse others are causing and we ourselves are causing to us, everything can be boiled down to - Not Completing with Others.

Default pattern

Escaping has become the generally-promoted lifestyle. If you have incompletion with family and parents and society, when you are down South; run away to Varanasi. After one year you will start having incompletion with people in Varanasi, then run away to Haridwar. This goes on.

Escaping from the situations where the incompletions are there can never be the solution for incompletions. Actually, that will become one more pattern of incompletion: Whenever you see a conflict, just take off. Whenever you see a conflict, 'taking off' becomes a pattern.

Completion is complete when you can come down to the plains and remain complete.
