Corruption is a global phenomenon. What is the best way to tackle it a) officially and b) individually?
"Corruption has been prevalent all over the world since time immemorial. Where there is power there would be an urge to misuse it for personal gains, this power can be spiritual or physical. It's easy to impose laws and stringent punishments, but the human urge for greed would take out novel ways to escape and bypass. A perfect example of this is the Moghul rule, which imposed cruel punishments like beheading and cutting off hands... but we find maximum cases of corruption and treachery during that period. Imprisoning of Shah Jahan being a glaring example. In a democracy like ours where we cannot even think of such punishments, where it takes 15-20 years in the court of law to deliver justice, how can we expect to scare people to be honest. The only way to contain corruption is to educate the world on the basic laws which govern Creation, primary being the Law of Karma. In the golden period of the Indian civilisation the path of Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha were the four folds of a mans life. The purpose of life was to live enjoy, experience everything... and then leave and go beyond to the real life. The artificial life, which a modern man lives is based on the fallacy that this is all that there is, we live only once collect as much by whatever means possible... no one's watching. If we have to contain corruption then there must be freedom and education of all of the above four: Dharma would explain the Law of Karma and would show the consequences of being corrupt and selfish; Artha would give freedom of earning in the right way; Kama would ensure sexual satisfaction, which would eradicate sexual corruption. Only a man satisfied in all aspects would want to get salvation as he would see the redundancy of the physical life and the beauty of what lies beyond, only he would live honestly for he would know the consequences of corruption. I assure you there is no other way."-Yogi Ashwini
