Hi SM

I tend to disagree here. I think this story is still valid. Very very valid. You still find a lot of wrong systems around. You may not be able to lead the system if you’re a man of conscience. The only way is to change the system for which not everyone will be inclined. If you wonder why the best equipped people don’t end up in politics, there’s the answer. There’s a strong belief that only the wrong people will be able to run this wrong system.

in todays global villlage this story is not valid.
this story is valid only where there are kingdoms, in kingdoms you means the common people dont have choice,they are are slaves of king and his family and his ministers.
about osho writeing i wanted to highlight is that osho himself said that the hungry man will never find the god or peace.
nice site.

Interesting outlook towards the inner sense of justice. A simple story with a profound meaning.

I do not want to talk about Democratic, Communist, Republican, Nazist policies & rules over here. It is because I do not know them and do not wish to know them. I am so very pratical and I believe things that I know alone. Imagine the world as a jungle and we being just another herbivorous mammal, powerless, thoughtless and weak. How long do you think we can survive? May be until we meet another animal which is more powerful than us. Think about the life of a chicken (65), a goat (Mutton Kabab) and a fish (gravy). It’s just the same. Who said chickens does not have a family? Who said goats does not have a wife? Who can prove that there is no government for them? Who can interpret their language when they die. But still all domestic animals (Not just them) are slaves for humans. We kill them when our taste bud urges (Ofcourse I am also a practical Non – vegetarian). Why there is no law to stop such murders? Who gave humans power to ride over all other living beings?

I only believe that world evolves with a simple rule – Strong Vs Weak. The world will always be beautiful if the strong can help the weak survive rather than the strong surviving over the weak. I only believe “Rules and policies” were framed by some strong beings to help and protect the weak beings. Well there are many strong beings who use the same rules to attack the weak beings as well. Remember it is a jungle out there and only clever beings who know the trick of survival can survive. This applies not just in India, not just in China, not in the World, not just in the Universe, not in 2000 but across all borders and all years to come………

I can only pray that a day will come when Strong starts helping for the survival of Weak….Or atleast Strong stop disturbing the survival of Weak!

Prithivi – Do you honestly believe that China was a communist country in 3000 BC

Well, the point here is, as per Osho, all systems are fundamentally wrong and artificial. There is no such thing called a ‘perfect system’ because of this thing called human nature. Just because we formed the system we need not have to defend it. As I had mentioned above, the systems and institutions do not promote evolution of thought. They do not want men/women to think too much.

It is fair that systems are required because you cannot expect all humans to be harmless to each other all the time. In principle, these systems regulate human behaviour while it also helps mankind evolve so that it does not need a system. What has happened unfortunately is that, the mankind has become a slave of the system, because the people who run the system have been all too powerful and the objective and agenda has completely changed.

No matter how legitimately money is earned, too much imbalance will always cause conflicts and crimes. This may not be an acceptable thought now as we all are the beneficiaries of the system and have become a slave to the system (though we may not want to admit).

When I say ’system’ I do include institutions like religion, politics, governments, boundaries, economies . . everything.’

SYSTEM…
I don’t agree on the point that ‘Wrong people required to run the wrong system’. Lao Tzu said & might be true in philosophical view but we are living & opted the system as per our livelihood & division of labour. Its our leaders or representatives and the people who are re-electing the wrong leaders to lead us & which made the system wrong.

When Lao Tzu is wise, the emperor should have seek his advice to correct the existing system instead of leading. Lao Tzu decision/explanation sounds like saint’s explanation to our existing system. If the rich man earned legitimately then it’s the thief’s greed to earn money unlawfully and its system failure for not creating right opportunities to educate & earn for every livelihood.

It’s we as a whole who formed & carved the system. If its working wrong then we should question ourselves why we are re-opting wrong people to run our system? Sometimes I wonder do we need these many political parties (India) to rule or take care or serve us.?
