How can individuals or communities act as a bridge to reduce the gap between privileged and unprivileged groups?
When I say individuals, I mean for everyone. Those who are privileged should have the feeling that they should refrain from openly displaying their material wealth, if they can. Today, in the age of mobile phones, it is difficult to completely refrain, but it can still be controlled. After seeing everything, feelings change, and my only prayer to the unprivileged is that if we have become unprivileged, there must be some reason behind it, and we are the ones responsible for it. No one is truly unprivileged; in fact, God has given everyone privileges, but we must always keep in mind that we should not let our behaviors deteriorate due to imitation.
When we talk about food, the need for food can be fulfilled with little, but every person sits with a lot of desire, and those desires keeps on increasing day by day. These matters manifest in the form of mismanagement of life. The purpose of collecting money today is if we get ill in future, that money will be used. That is a completely wrong sentiment. We should not even have the feeling of being ill; it should not happen at all. Now a days we see that a wealthy person donates his 50% or 100% asset, which shows the value of money in one’s life. Everyone should definitely keep in mind that if we manage our system to a certain level, then the situations can still remain calm. The distress in the mind will be less.
As a community, it is imperative that all industrialists and prominent business families in our nation prioritize a framework that ensures their enterprises do not adversely affect the general populace and that they operate in a manner distinct from the norm. I advocate for the protection of individuals operating very small businesses. I call upon all commercial entities to be mindful of issues that may negatively impact those earning between ₹5,000 and ₹20,000. Presently, charity often equates to mere almsgiving, such as providing ₹1,000 or ₹2,000, or offering free meals. On the contrary, I believe that the comprehensive utilization of resources, including mechanization, holds merit. Nonetheless, our large enterprises should also develop initiatives that minimize machinery use while maximizing manual labor compensation. This form of philanthropy is essential, distinct from superficial assistance. Only these enterprises possess the capacity to effectuate such charity, as the common man cannot. This paradigm shift must originate from the top 50 business families within our nation. It necessitates a reformation of their mental frameworks, behavioral patterns, and philosophical perspectives. They possess the right to indulge in their wealth and may the divine blessings abound; however, they must cultivate a thought process that considers how they will integrate this wealth into society. While every individual undoubtedly contributes, the manner of contribution should not instill a perception of charity. Instead, it should reflect significant endeavors allowing individuals to sustain themselves effectively. I reiterate an essential point: we must abstain from engaging in businesses detrimental to the common class. The survival of all is paramount; if a few prosper at the expense of others, it yields no benefit. Thus, a collective transformation in mindset is imperative.
IMPORTANCE OF SYSTEM IN OUR SOCIETY
The better the systems are, the more smoothly the arrangements function there. In our country, the explanation of every system takes on two forms. For a common person, that system works differently, and for another, it works differently. So that system is not really a system; it is a glitch in the system. Whenever a system is created, it is implemented in two ways. If a common person does a task, they remain fearful. They cannot sleep at night, thinking a great crime has been committed. But when a leader does something on a much larger scale, they sleep peacefully, as if it is within their jurisdiction. What kind of system is this? Awareness on this subject is needed today by the youth power that is currently abundant in our country.
