But the degeneration is so fast that it is not clear what is in store for the country as a whole. That is what is more troubling. The answer to this question you will find in a very interesting book written by Sri Aurobindo, 'Foundations of Indian Culture' . The reason for this, as he has pointed out, very wisely, is the dichotomy created by the human perception of values, between God and the world. Let any religious man answer this question.
People there are who say that they have renounced the world.
What kind of feeling, unnecessarily, 'I have renounced everything'. This is the kind of religion that we are practising. Because duniya is a chhodne layak cheez hai, we have no interest in it, let invaders come and spoil it. We shall reach God, Moksha. Right from the Vedas onwards, throughout the history of India, there was not even one person who could vanquish the Muslim invaders, or encounter the British forces.
