Spirituality’s Poor Record on World Peace
VARIOUS forms of spirituality (including both formal and esoteric branches of world religions) seem to have been around since the dawn of humankind. We have had innumerable numbers of enlightened and highly awakened individuals. Has this had any significant impact on bringing the world closer together?
I don’t think so.
India may, arguably, have developed the highest level of spiritual understanding, along with many Saints (living and past), and spiritual influences expanding around the globe. Has this made India a better place, free of violence and corruption?
I don’t think so.
In fact, spirituality has long been a source of ethnocentric and cultural conflicts, wars, hate and exploitation. This continues today, and even more so if you consider politics as a form of modern religion, as many people do.
