Communism and Spirituality

Weekly Knowledge #352 Bangalore Ashram 16 Apr 2002 India

Communism has three goals.

To check the greed of feudal and capitalistic societies.

To check the fanaticism and fundamentalism of religious communities.

To care for and share with the needy.

Only spirituality can bring fulfillment to communism.
Only spirituality can check greed and open up the hearts of the rich to help the needy.
Only spirituality can check the fanaticism and fundamentalism of religious groups and create a sense of belongingness in the whole world.
Only spirituality brings up the tendency to care and share in one’s life.
Only spirituality can bring about open mindedness and a progressive attitude.

Communism cannot fulfill its goals without spirituality. It is impossible and time has proved it. Spirituality nourishes communism.

Knowledge Nibble!
