When the options are many, there’s no freedom to choose

CHENNAI: In present times, there are so many varying concepts, theories and paradigms available to mankind in all fields of knowledge such that man is confused as to which one is totally true and effective in its results. For example, in metaphysics, there are very many concepts concerning soul, god, world, hell, heaven, etc.; each one more or less divergent from the other and some are even diametrically opposed to the other. Likewise, there are many postulates, hypotheses and theories about the ‘origin of the world’ and ‘the creation’ or the appearance of mankind on the planet earth.

These theories have divided mankind into cults, each one vociferously pronouncing its favourite theory and denouncing or condemning the belief in others. In this raging controversy about the origin of the world and the creator, man has lost faith in his original divine nature. On the other hand, one can clearly see that the world economy is becoming more and more complicated even as economic theories are becoming more and more complicated and thereby more confusing.

Also, the suffering of about half the populace of the world from poverty is evidence that points to the failure of our economic theories. The same can be said for politics as well. There have been thinkers and their theories that consider politics as a great art of governance whereas there are others who consider it as a murky business and politicians as more or less a class of people who have a lust for power and who, in the race for seats of power, become corrupt and some even absolutely corrupt. So, in short, we can say that presently people are in a state of confusion, or worse, are confounded.

There is no such theory given by any man that has, at its core, the potential that can serve all fields of knowledge and can thus eliminate the confusion of man and enlighten him truly and totally. However, not many of us know about the fact that such a treasure of wisdom is given by the infallible and all-perfect Supreme Almighty only once in a Cycle of Time when the whole world is to be transformed into a holy, happy and healthy world. And such a time is only ‘NOW’. It can be said with a clarion call that the time for world transformation is now, when all sorts of confusion can be removed.
