Three Questions‌ Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar
We worship and adore the champions of charity. No doubt they have large hearts and give solace and support to millions. Q. 1) But do we ever ask, a) Do they provide radical solutions to the problems in which they work? b) Why have they to work at the mercy of government grants and public donations? c) Why have they to work in the suppressive and oppressive framework rules and regulations? We feel proud in donating. No doubt it is commendable and admirable. Callous and petty selfishness brings misery to self and others.
Q. 2) But do we ever rise to find out and remedy the roots of social maladies (which reside in our paradigms) that create the mammoth need for charity? We are noble hearted and well meaning gentlemen (though there may be some drawbacks or deficiencies). Q. 3) Can we be a part of an incessant, ongoing, global and victorious process that involves global blossoming; of the sinners, righteous, exploiters and exploited, atheists, theists etc. in temples, schools, laboratories, farms, industries, battlefields and even brothels, bars etc; (i.e. all elements within us); to reach and remedy the roots of individual and social maladies?
