A philosophy,
however great it may be, can not of its own accord bless any
generation. Though it is known that Aspirin can cure headache, this
knowledge in itself is not a guarantee against headache when one is suffering.
One has to go out and procure the medicine, administer it to oneself
and wait patiently until the medicine gets itself completely absorbed in
the system.
Similarly, a philosophy, whether it is political, economic or spiritual, can not of itself bless the generation, simply because we have codified them and have adorned our libraries. A nation is wise or a community happy, only to the degree to which, in its behavior and transaction of life, attunes itself to its intellectually accepted philosophical truths.
Philosophy lived in our day-to-day life is called RELIGION.
Various easy methods are discovered and prescribed by the seers. If they are followed even unconsciously a generation can be made to live the creative instincts and philosophical values in life.
Religion is not only in the Temples and Churches, it is in our heart, to be faithfully followed at all times in our life.
