The art of good government is possible when people become aware of the spiritual principles underlying all life.
Political institutions are a shadow of our souls.
Put otherwise, political institutions express and embody the wisdom of the people of the time. If there is no such wisdom among the people, these institutions express their unwisdom. The state of our wisdom and the state of our soul are closely related. Our institutions do not work because our souls do not work. Our spiritual blight affects our individual lives and our institutions alike.
