Are we in a state of confusion?

Are we in a state of confusion?

There is no theory that has at its core the potential to serve all fields of knowledge and eliminate turmoil of man and enlighten him completely, says Rajyogi Brahmakumar Nikunj ji

In present times, there are so many varying concepts, theories and paradigms available to mankind in various fields of knowledge that man is confused as to which one is totally true in its results. For example, in metaphysics, there are a large number of concepts, concerning soul, god, world, hell, heaven and each one of these is more or less divergent from the others and some are even diametrically opposed to others. Similarly in theology, theosophy and religious philosophies, there is great diversity of doctrines. Thus, amidst this large and almost bewildering variety of views or beliefs about the self, the creator, liberation, man stands nonplussed. Seeing this deep mist and haze, some have decided never to make any efforts to discover the self or to search for the real identity of those around them, thinking that it will be futile to do so. Similarly, they also consider all talk of religion, philosophy or spirituality as taboo without even checking whether the claim of these is genuine or fake.

likewise, there are many postulates, hypotheses and theories about the 'origin of the world' and 'the creation' or the appearance of mankind on the planet earth. These theories have divided mankind into various opinion-groups and cults, each one vociferously pronouncing its favourite theory and denouncing or condemning the beliefs of others. In this raging controversy about the origin of the world and the creator, man has lost faith in his original divine nature.

Similarly, in the field of economics, there have been so many divergent theories that the world-economy, as a whole, is in shambles. Every wizard in the domain of economics has given his complicated formulations in such a masterly manner that, studying these luminaries, a man of medium IQ stands in awe and even the great intelligentsia is puzzled as to what remedies they should apply to the current problems faced by the world economy. On the other hand, one can clearly see that the world economy is becoming more and more complicated even as economic theories are becoming more and more confusing. Also, the suffering of about half the populace of due to poverty makes it evident that our economic theories have failed.

The same can be said for politics as well. There are political theories that give statecraft, a place of honour and great importance and value and there are also such schools of political thought that consider politics as the last resort of a scoundrel. There have been thinkers and their theories that consider politics as a great art of governance whereas there are others who consider these as murky business and politicians as a class of people who crave power and in its pursuit become corrupt. There are theories that have classified various forms of government into various forms of cracies. Some have in clear words termed democracy as a perverted form of government. On the other hand, there are politicians who consider democracy as the best form of government. Karl Marx in his theory about the state had even said that the state would wither away and that ultimately there would be no government. So we can say that presently people are in a state of confusion or worse, are confounded. There is no such theory given by any man that has at its core the potential that can serve all fields of knowledge and can thus eliminate confusion of man and enlighten him truly and totally. However, not many of us know that such a treasure of wisdom is given by the infallible and all-perfect Supreme Almighty only once in a cycle of time when the whole world is to be transformed into a holy, happy and healthy world. And such a time is only 'now'. A clarion call can be issued that the time for world transformation is now, when all sorts of confusion can be removed.
