When Conscience Speaks
“There is a higher court then courts of justice and this is the court of
conscience, it supersedes all other courts”
[M. K. Gandhi]
What Conscience really means; that stage when the internal feeling of human being arises at its bloom to differentiate between right and wrong. A sensation which does not let him (an individual) to evade from his moral duties. It also means, a feeling of man in that stage when he/she regrets the past committed acts which are against his moralistic values.
When we look at our society, in every respect it is fractured whether it be social structure, political structure, economic structure, socio-economic structure, socio-political structure, etc. Every thing has been contaminated by corruption. It has affected our structure badly. However, we are fighting Tooth and Nail to drag ourselves out from it, but we are not able to do so.
Every body is involved in one way or ather. We can not blame any one, it exists at mass level. For our mere purposes we make the full use of our money and muscle power. It only flourishes because people want to get worldly gains. All of us want to show that how influential I am, for that we use this (Corruption) tool. Whenever any body is not logical or is not in a position to win, he uses this tool with out any hesitation. But when we ask it to our conscience, it always curses us. Even to them who are engulfed in corruption from head to toe.
A government servant, with a meager amount of money as his salary, enjoys the luxurious standard in his life. His known source of income is comparatively low than his expenditure. Nevertheless, he enjoys it.
Politics __ meant to run a government. But when we look at present
scenario, it is also polluted at every level. Those who were supposed to, economically, politically, socially, soothe the hearts and minds of people, are not serving the purpose, they are meant for. This is the reason we are watching our political system laking the coherence and is messy for common man to understand.
The Emotional Atyachar done by politicians in public rallies can not be denied also. We can see how the exploitation through emotions is used to gain power and high handedness over the system. In the court of conscience when the judge of our mind gives the judgment that politicians are none but failures.
Broadly speaking, for some, concept of God is also under shadow. Their dilemma about God always makes them to think about. Atheists and believers, but not followers are sailing in the same boat. Instead of thinking that there is a supreme power above all, they think differently.
“Behold! In the creations of the heavens and the earth, and the
alternation of night and day- There are indeed signs for man of
understanding”
{Al- Qur’an 3: 190}
“Those who reject our signs, we shall soon cast into the fire; as often as their skins are roasted though, we shall change then for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is exalted in power, wise”
{Al- Qur’an 4: 56}
About 2.3% of world’s population is Atheists, means 850 people don’t believe in existence of God in one way or other. For them the concept of God neither exists nor needs to exist. They are living the life of “Deaf, Dumb and Blind”.
“Those miscreants who are grossly foolish, who are lowest among
mankind, whose knowledge is stolen by illusions, and who partake of the Atheistic nature of demons do not surrender unto Me.
{Bhagavad- Gita. 7: 15. Page 339}
Conscience is strictly related to religion, in fact every religion: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, etc do emphases on conscience.
Just the physical appearance of a human being, his inner self is equally important. In fact, these are inseparable. We always put our whole energy to maintain outer pros and cons without peeping into the world lying within.
“Apne Man Mai Doobh Kar Pa Ja Suaag-e-zindagi
Tu Agar Mera Nahi Bata, Na Ban, Apna Too Ban”
{Iqbal RA}
