First you need to know yourself. Then only you can know the external world. It is only through a very personal experience of inner discovery that you can know yourself and find ultimate peace of mind.

Consciousness is necessary

One must never reel under the pressure of materialism and consequent over-enjoyment. Enjoyment knows no bounds. Its desire keeps on increasing. It gives birth to greed and lust, which, like termites, eat up the inner core of the mind, and fill it up with aspects that do not promote purification of the soul. Indulging into unsocial, unethical and corrupt activities poisons our soul. Stealing and killing are acts, which seem nothing as harmful and far-reaching as these acts. Such acts breed more such acts, which corrupt the surrounding like an infectious disease.

Fear of punishment should not completely go away. Hope of reward and gain should not loom large in one's mind.

Materialism goes side by side with externalism, whereas spirituality promotes internal growth and acquisition of knowledge about one's soul. Spiritualism is characterized by peace and tranquility. Spirituality begins with awakening of the soul. Fear of loss, an inherent characteristic of materialism, should not be made a thing of the past. Where there is no fear of loss, malpractice creeps in there.   

One must always try to emit positive force everywhere. Fake veil of humanity must never be used to cover up misdeeds. Societies and families must be protected from getting affected negatively. It is very difficult to make people see things in the light of eternity. Men must always be taught to understand the distant effect of their deeds. Disguise can never be allowed to become the order of the day.

Useless consumption of human energy and resources has to be always put under check. Societies and families must be such that people do not get duped into forgetting their roots and their belonging, and committing mistakes. Using vicious ploys to fulfill one's desire are highly immoral. Keeping other persons subordinated and obligated is one of the most frequently used tactics, which must be given up.

Worshipping God only for one's own well-being is no way to show love for God. In praying for the well-being, firstly for our near and dear ones, then for all others, seen or unseen, and lastly for all other beings, lies the true essence of a prayer. Once a person properly knows who he is, he can easily recognize who are his near and dear ones. In no way it must seem that one is taking even God for a ride. One must always know that if he fails to live his life ethically, then in his next birth, his highly impure soul will fail to find a human body to live in.

There are people who talk more, advise more, listen very little, agree and accept very little and also run around a lot, and meet a lot of people unnecessarily. They seek spiritual men, quite unconsciously, for their own survival. These men also have a poor desire and ability to learn. They have very little concern and feeling for others. They are not at all creative. They give only to take away more.  

They can't accept other people's success and prosperity. They can only enjoy, they can't rejoice. They don't know what is delight. They love to discuss about the unholy aspects of life, and seek such unholiness to feed their infected minds. They pounce upon to taint a person's character very easily. They can't forgive. Satirically speaking, they are more interested in blood than flesh!

Such men only make this world a poorer place to live in. They drain mankind of its basic ingredients. They leave only misery for the coming generation.

Need is to recognize the spiritual-minded persons, because they are the persons who can negate the negativity. Negativity is characterized by loss, sorrow, suffering and decadence. Reviving the spiritual feeling in people's minds is absolutely necessary. Unholy men should be taught to show repentance. People should control themselves, put themselves on guard, keep manifesting their true nature and make their human birth a success.

The Philosophy of Consciousness is to be cultured and nourished. That is what has been said in the ancient sacred book called Bhagwat Gita.
