COMMON GOOD IS OUR GOOD

From
one germ cell ectoderm,, endoderm and mesodermic organs of various kinds are
formed. Similarly from unity (Hiranya Garbha - Brahma) the world
of diversity with trigunas (satwa, rajo and tamas) were  created.
Thus every speck of creation has the primordial substance, intelligence
and energy embedded in them. 




Thus
the microcosm and macrocosm are are alike. Several groups of cells in our
body work in unison and cohesion for the common good of
the body. They all derive their nourishment from the body and
work for the good of the body. Their welfare depends
on the welfare of the body. If any cell or group of
cells forget the common good principle and out-grows selfishly,
it is called cancer. This is self destructive for itself and to the
total body.




Our
lives should be modulated based on this common good principle (Dharma). We
derive nourishment from the society and should work for the
common good of the society. Our wellness is dependent on
the wellness of the society.




This
is the Nishkama Karma of Bhagavad Gita and the Sagham Saranam Gatchami of
Gwotam Buddha. Any other way is cancer to the society and is self destructive
to the individual and harmful to the society.
