As Gurus, we hold a holistic vision. Our role is to embody justice and compassion, to transmute what is decayed, and to call forth what must be born. The Earth moves through vast cycles of time, and India, through the wisdom of the Yugas, has long understood that civilizations rise and fall according to cosmic law.

 

Destruction is not the end but the prelude to creation. Every dissolution opens the ground for renewal. Humanity’s journey resembles the spiral of a nautilus shell, forever expanding outward while repeating the same eternal pattern. Nothing is truly new under the sun. The truths of existence return again and again, clothed in higher or lower expressions, until consciousness learns its lessons and carries them forward into the next chamber of time. The Trimurti: creation, preservation, and destruction, embodies this rhythm. Each aspect of the Divine holds its necessary place in the unfolding of Dharma (the inherent law of truth, order, and right action that sustains the cosmos and guides all beings toward their destiny - highest purpose).

 

The Western world has long built its empires upon

the foundations of older civilizations. From them, it

extracted ideas, lands, resources, cultures, labor, 

sacred knowledge, technologies, and even appropriated

their histories. Driven by hubris, conquest was recast

as “progress,” and humanity was conditioned to believe

that violence, domination, and ambition devoid of ethics

constituted a virtuous life. What was once paraded as 

advancement has hardened into a hollow system,

serving the interests of a narrow elite while draining

meaning from the lives of everyone else.

 

The Modern Heirs of Conquest

Today’s billionaires are the modern heirs of the old Western conquerors, carrying forward the same mindset of domination and greed. They hoard obscene wealth, glorify ruthless ambition, and fund only what generates profit, while suffocating the very innovations that could genuinely serve humanity. They have convinced society that this behavior is righteous, that success must come at the expense of ethics, and that exploitation is the natural order of life.

​

In the past, when colonizers arrived through war and open domination, the nations they invaded did not welcome them with kindness or trade. It was a battle. If the colonizer won, they took the spoils by force. If the invaded nation fought back and won, they defended their land and kept their resources.

​

But when colonizers came disguised as “friends”, as wolves in sheep’s clothing, they did not declare war. Instead, they spoke of peace, trade, and negotiation. Through clever words and false promises, they established companies like the East India Company. Without firing a shot, they struck deals that only benefited themselves. They drained the land of its wealth and dismantled the local systems that sustained those societies.

​

All the while, they positioned themselves as the pinnacle of progress and civilization, even as they acted with greed and destruction. This mindset, coming in peace outwardly, while hiding selfish and exploitative intentions inwardly, has not disappeared. It continues to repeat itself in the present.

​

Today, those who run the world carry forward the same mindset. Unless we recognize that this mindset itself must end, nothing truly new can be born. Everything presented as “free” or “for the common good”, whether justice, governance, education, healthcare, housing, media, transportation, or entertainment, has been designed to protect profit and maintain control. Outwardly, it parades as progress, innovation, and righteousness. Inwardly, it is driven by self-interest and greed.

​

A pure mindset reveals itself in fairness. Trade, like justice, cannot be one-sided, enriching one while exploiting another. True exchange means balance: both sides gain real value, neither is diminished. Just as the purpose of justice is not to serve the powerful few but to uphold dignity for all, so too should trade uplift everyone involved. Real trade, real governance, and real systems are never selfish or cruel. They are fair, respectful, and balanced, ensuring that no one’s prosperity is built on another’s suffering.

​

Until we face this truth, until we acknowledge the mistakes of the past and refuse to think from the same corrupted consciousness that created the problem, history will keep repeating itself. This mindset has to change.

 

Today, truly visionary and well-planned systems are rarely funded. We lack clear examples of what greatness looks like, which is why we must design anew from a dharmic (purposeful) mindset. 

​

Because we design from a mindset of greed or gluttony, we simply embed those flaws into our systems. Our tools, phones, laptops, fridges, microwaves, etc., have been reshaped by profit-driven motives. They are made to fail, not because they must, but because it serves someone’s bottom line. Perfectly good machines are discarded, mountains of waste pile up, and entire generations are trapped in endless cycles of replacement. What could be designed to last a lifetime is instead built to expire. This is not innovation, it is the corruption of human intelligence, binding us to consumerism while the planet suffocates under yesterday’s castoffs.

​

But imagine a different path. Imagine if technology were built for longevity, not profit. Phones, laptops, and fridges could already be designed to last fifty years or more, with modular parts and software upgrades keeping them current. Families would be spared constant expense, electronic waste would plummet, and the earth would breathe again. The only ones who “lose” are corporations addicted to planned obsolescence.

 

With an ethical mindset, the benefits extend far beyond profit. Companies that create refined, durable, and ethical products will still gain loyal followings, attract new customers, and thrive by offering meaningful add-ons and innovations. Technology has matured to the point where this shift is not just possible, it is urgent.

​

​In the past, a solid, non-defrosting fridge could easily last a lifetime, and even when self-defrosting models appeared, only some would upgrade. Real innovation, improvements that genuinely enhance efficiency, safety, or sustainability, justifies replacing old products. Today’s fridges have had ample time to be refined for durability and reliability. Yet corporations still design products to fail or hold back real improvements to drive sales.  But beyond that, endless “new versions” often add little more than planned obsolescence. The lesson is simple: innovation must serve humanity and the planet, not consumption for its own sake.

 

Breakthroughs will always drive investment: a single intelligent robot that can wash dishes, do laundry, vacuum, and more would be embraced worldwide as the next great leap. After every leap comes refinement, then the add-ons. Longevity and innovation are not opposites; together, they define the real future.

​

What stands in the way is not ability, but profit. Until humanity reclaims ethics over greed, our intelligence will remain enslaved to conquest, and the dignity of life itself will remain under assault.

​​​​​​​

The Poison in Our Systems

This for-profit poison runs far deeper than mere consumption; it has infiltrated the very systems designed to sustain life. Justice, healthcare, and education should uphold dignity, protect life, and awaken wisdom. Yet in a world where money reigns supreme, these institutions cannot act ethically. They crumble into corruption, serving the wealthy while rendering the poor invisible. When money becomes God, ethics vanish.

 

Justice has been sold. Justice cannot and must not exist for profit, yet that is exactly what it has become. Courtrooms are no longer houses of truth but marketplaces where verdicts are purchased. The very ideal of seeking justice is a lie. The wealthy hire endless lawyers, drag out cases, and bend laws in their favor, while the poor are crushed under costs they cannot bear. Justice is meant to ensure no one feels powerless, yet in today’s system, it is precisely powerlessness that most people feel. A for-profit model corrodes justice at its core. It is outdated, broken, and a mockery of the truth. If only the wealthy and powerful can find justice, then justice no longer exists.

 

The modern justice system has become a new form of organized power, more like a mafia than a neutral arbiter of fairness. It no longer serves the principle it claims to uphold: impartial justice for all, regardless of race, wealth, or status. In earlier times, before centralized courts, law was enforced by the people themselves. If a poor woman of color was raped, the men of her community would come together and kill the rapist. If the rapist was a powerful figure, like a drug lord, they would align, scheme, and plan strategically to ensure justice was served. Even if they killed the wrong man or struck down someone too powerful, the struggle for dominance continued. But the power still lived with the people. In that, they felt seen, heard, and protected.

 

Today, that power has been stripped from the people. Justice is no longer in their hands, and if they dare to take it back, they are made examples of. The system itself has become the greatest mafia of all, serving only the rich and ignoring the poor. Take the same example: a poor woman of color raped by a rich man is unlikely to see justice in court. If her family were to kill the rapist, they would be condemned to life in prison or even the death penalty, while the rich man walks free. If the rapist is poor, the courts remain indifferent to the woman’s suffering. If you are not high-profile enough or cannot afford the fees that sustain the courts (lawyers, and judges), you are treated as unworthy of justice. You are seen as a burden on their for-profit system, left to endure abuse while the system turns its gaze elsewhere. Worse still, the justice system regards any act of vengeance as a direct threat to its existence, authority, and profits, crushing it swiftly and brutally.

​

Health care systems follows the same path. A system built on profit can never serve the sick with integrity. The wealthy buy access, treatment, and survival, while the poor are left to suffer. Natural remedies, ancient healing systems, and preventative wisdom are silenced because they cannot be patented, packaged, or sold for billions. Sickness has been turned into an industry, patients reduced to customers, life itself reduced to a revenue stream. Under the falsehood that “the hospital has to survive,” those who cannot pay are quietly deemed unworthy of living. Healthcare is meant to value human life, yet today it only values the lives of the rich.

 

Once, before profit corrupted care, no one felt worthless when they were sick. Families and communities rallied around the ill, tending to them with compassion. Being sick was not seen as an expense, a burden, or an inconvenience; the vulnerable were supported, not shamed. Now, people enter a machine that does not value them. They are made to feel expendable, broken not only in body but in spirit, wishing for death while being billed for survival. Doctors and nurses, trapped in the same system, are forced to see patients not as lives to heal, but as profit margins to maintain. Every human being deserves health and healing, not just the wealthy.

​

Our current education system perpetuates a profound failure: it teaches the illusion of superiority, glorifies ruthless competition, and rewards those who dominate. Furthermore, it harms the thoughtful introspective, and genuinely capable. Its mission should not be to produce compliant cogs or profit-driven one-dimensional achievers, but to guide each individual toward knowing oneself; to awaken understanding of their place in the cosmos, their dharma, and their responsibility to life itself. Education must become a study of the human condition: the effects of consumerism, the weight of karma, and the cost of mediocrity. It must honor all races and cultures, not to enforce uniformity, but to cultivate discernment, respect, and a profound understanding of how histories have been robbed, erased, and rewritten. It must help us to recognise the depth, ingenuity, and contributions of civilizations long silenced or obscured. The classrooms of the future cannot be bound by bureaucracy, outdated models, or narrow ambition; they must be expansive, joy-giving, and life-affirming. A system that awakens the individual not merely to intellect, but to the depths of their spirit, the truth of their emotions and karma, their dharma, and their profound responsibility to the world.

​

Masters of Wealth, Prisoners of Fear

Yet, beneath this façade of power lies fear, for nothing on this earth can ever be controlled beyond a point. Their vast investments, cloaked in the rhetoric of progress, corrupt not only the billionaire but also those who aspire to the same hollow dream. This dream, worshipped by so many, produces human beings who are mere shadows of what they might have been: ugly in spirit, insatiably greedy, isolated, anxious, selfish, and mentally unwell. They die materially triumphant yet spiritually impoverished; building castles, hoarding lands, fortifying walls, and clinging to possessions until their last breath, while countless others suffer because they would not share. Is this the summit of human aspiration: to hoard, to dominate, to exit the world surrounded by treasure while multitudes struggle to survive?

 

The powers that govern today are driven as much by fear as by greed, fearful of an earth they cannot tame, fearful of the unknown futures it may deliver. Thus, they invest not to liberate, but to secure their own survival against every possible scenario: technological upheaval, economic collapse, natural disaster, resource depletion, war, or even cosmic threat. And in battling these fears, they construct a world designed not for humanity’s flourishing, but to preserve their own unshaken dominance.

 

Technology and Evolution

AI, software, and other so-called “free” innovations could be invaluable as open networks, spaces where ideas are shared freely, outside the cages of laws and contracts, visible to all and usable by all. In such a forum, the collective genius of humanity could flourish. But, as with every tool, it is a double-edged sword. Once artificial intelligence and robotics have absorbed the collective creativity and intelligence of humanity, they risk displacing entire workforces. Machines may outthink, outproduce, and outperform across nearly every field, rendering human labor increasingly obsolete, widening inequality, and reducing vast numbers of people to economic irrelevance. 

 

As spiritual teachers, we do not sow fear, we illuminate possibility. The Earth is passing through a great evolutionary cycle, and the emergence of new technologies is part of this unfolding. If machines can inherit the burdens of labor, manual and intellectual alike, human beings are released from the confines of identity tied to occupation. In that freedom lies an invitation: to rediscover themselves as souls.

​

We are moving into the Dwapara Yuga: an age of discovery and technological flowering, where societies grow increasingly intricate, and individual expression finds wider scope. In this era, material ambition and spiritual practice need not stand in opposition; they are beginning to move together, creating the potential for a collective awakening of consciousness. Even systems once rooted in self-interest may be reoriented toward a higher purpose, as balance slowly emerges between outer striving and inner life.

​

Used rightly, this liberation - made possible as machines take over both manual and intellectual labor with precision and order - is an opening to seek the Divine, cultivate wisdom, and align with a higher order of life. Time left idle can lead to lethargy, yet even the seemingly idle among us, like dormant seeds, eventually stir to purpose and produce fruit. The true aim is to help each person discover their dharma. If wealth is distributed not as privilege for the few but as sustenance for all, society need not collapse under automation; instead, it can evolve into a civilization where work is no longer bondage and life becomes a conscious journey toward the Divine.

 

Dwapara Yuga and True Progress

In the Dwapara Yuga, advancement is no longer measured by how much one can extract, but by how justly one can share. No one may rightfully seize another’s land, strip its people of dignity, and then parade exploitation as “progress,” justifying roads and railways as if they were for the people’s benefit, when in truth, the intent was to drain their resources, facilitate plunder, and make the colonizer’s own settlement more comfortable.

​

To point to roads, railways, and buildings as proof of generosity is the cruellest hypocrisy: calling dispossession a gift. Imagine, for a moment, if the tables were turned.

​

Suppose China, India, and Russia whose contributions to civilization are vast and enduring, rose up today and declared: “We built roads, railways, and cities in your land. This is proof of our benevolence. In return, we shall erase your culture, replace your ways of life with our own, and rule over you, for we have given you the gift of progress.”

​

Would the West accept such reasoning? Would it bow quietly while its traditions were dismantled and its children taught to despise their own heritage?

​

Consider just China's contribution: paper, printing, gunpowder, and the compass, tools that altered the destiny of nations. Silk, porcelain, and tea transformed economies and cultures. Confucian ethics and Taoist wisdom shaped concepts of balance and harmony. Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, and herbal remedies enrich global healthcare, while martial arts like Tai Chi and Kung Fu are now practiced for health, discipline, and strength worldwide.

 

Now imagine all of these treasures being used not as gifts of culture, but as weapons of conquest: the conquerors saying, “Because we gave you governance models, philosophy, medicine, art, and more, we now claim the right to rule you. Your land is ours, your people will serve us, and your culture will be erased.” Combined, they would control the largest population and landmass, vast resources, and formidable military power, including nuclear deterrence.

​

This is the mirror. This is the truth of colonization stripped of its disguises. To call domination generosity is not only false, it is an insult to the soul. In Dwapara Yuga, such pretences can no longer stand. Colonization and unrighteousness must end.

​

The question of truth is this: what was the intent? Was the road laid to empower the people, or was it born of hubris and entitlement, the presumption of being “greater than them”, which claimed the right to expropriate, to take what was wanted, and to construct systems of extraction that were sustained by the labour of the dispossessed?

​

Dwapara Yuga weighs intent as deeply as action. It does not ask humanity to renounce taking what is needed, for every being requires sustenance and security. But it calls us to recognize the sacred threshold of “enough,” and to ensure that every exchange honors the other as an equally contributing soul. Respect must govern our dealings, karmic balance must be upheld, right attitudes must be cultivated, and compensations must be met. Only then can spirit and matter move in harmony, restoring the balance upon which true progress depends.

​

True progress arises not through domination, but through partnership: a 50-50 relationship between self and world, between giving and receiving. Wealth and knowledge are not to be hoarded but to flow in circulation, so that both giver and receiver are uplifted. This is the principle of Dwapara Yuga: mutual benefit, transparency, and trust, rooted in the understanding that the destiny of each soul is bound to the well-being of the whole.

​​

The Turning of the Yugas 

Kali Yuga, the age of darkness, has run its course. In this age, Dharma stood on one leg, and the human mind, bound to selfishness and materialism, consumed itself. This was inevitable, for the independent ego cannot sustain civilization. Now the wheel turns toward Dwapara Yuga, moving toward the light of Satya Yuga, where Dharma stands firm on four legs: compassion, truth, purity, and austerity. The old must be transmuted, not through arrogance and conquest as in the West’s dominion of Kali Yuga, but through consciousness and wisdom. The deeper spiritual mind must now guide humanity, dissolving the false while preserving the eternal, so that a new civilization may rise in alignment with Dharma and the eternal law.

​

India and the Eastern world was once bound by dharma, its spiritual spine, the axis upon which civilization turned. The Puranas, timeless revelations composed and refined by Rishis across the ages, foresaw the shadow of the Kali Yuga and its inescapable effects. In this darkened epoch, hypocrisy cloaks itself in the language of religion, while corruption, greed, and deception reigns over politics and trade. True gurus are dismissed or persecuted; families fracture; desire-driven living becomes the norm. Dharma is fragile and veiled in shadow, as humanity drifts into forgetfulness of its divine origin. When prophecy became lived reality and the Kali Yuga descended in full force, Indian civilization stagnated.

​

To understand the yugas, envision humanity’s connection to the Source as the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. In the Satya Yuga, we dwell at the perfect distance, fully illumined, life flourishing, dharma radiant and whole. In the Treta and Dvapara Yugas, we drift gradually outward; the light wanes, and clarity begins to blur. Now, in the Kali Yuga, we have strayed farthest. The warmth of the Source is faint; hearts grow cold, confusion spreads, desire and ego dominate. Civilization endures, yet only as a shadow of its true potential, sustaining itself rather than ascending. Just as the Earth would grow cold and lifeless if it strayed too far from the Sun, so too does the human spirit in this age confront darkness, disconnection, and joylessness.

​

Kali Yuga is not a punishment of the Divine but a law of cyclical time and consciousness. It creates the necessary distance from the Source, a descent into duality where the soul is tested: to awaken, to recognize its true nature, and to discover its role of service within the cosmic order.

​​

The Guru and the Preservation of Dharma

In this dense vibration, the higher frequencies of the Divine are exceedingly difficult to perceive, like seeking your path in near-darkness when the light of dharma burns faint and distant. Meaning, purpose, and direction lie buried beneath layers of desire, ego, confusion, vulnerability, inner conflict, and ignorance.

​

It is precisely in such an age that Gurus, souls who have cultivated refinement and discipline over many lifetimes, incarnate to preserve balance and sustain the evolutionary rhythm of consciousness. Their task is arduous, for they labour in a world heavy with division, disease, greed, exploitation, and war.

​

The tapas expected in Kali Yuga are no longer the severe bodily mortifications of ancient times, but rather the inner disciplines that purify, restrain, and refine the self. Tapas means “to generate heat.” It is the friction that burns impurities and strengthens the soul.

​

Here, the Guru plays a vital role: kindling this inner fire, guiding the disciple to endure, to refine, and to rise above karmic weight. The Guru imparts tapas not as mere austerity, but as a living alchemy of disciplined transformation, a force that, when embraced and practiced, awakens dormant virtue and restores one’s alignment with dharma.

​

Unlike the white race, the East did not expand outwards to conquer and dominate. It carried, deep within its bones, the memory of an age when humanity walked in alignment with the Source. That memory held it back from blind conquest but also rendered it passive in the face of invasion and exploitation. It clung to faith, trusting that divine order would prevail, as sovereignty slipped through its fingers.

​

India still holds the treasure of timeless wisdom, yet has grown stagnant in its expression. The West bears the drive to act, but often without the wisdom to act purely; its restless energy turning to conquest, exploitation, and expansion that is divorced from truth, purity, and compassion. Each is incomplete without the other, and in their mutual distance from dharma, both falter: one in passivity, the other in aggression. And in that imbalance, all beings suffer.

​

In this new age, the role of the Guru is to guide East and West toward cooperation, to share resources, harmonize capacities, and restore a balance where wisdom directs action, and action carries wisdom.

​

Kali Yuga’s Western Mandate

We recognize what the West achieved during the Kali Yuga, the age of darkness. Many traditions foresaw this age as one where humanity would be cut off from Source, adrift from Dharma, and furthest from truth. In such a time, no civilization could have remained untainted. The Eastern world, still tethered to Source through Hinduism, Buddhism, Sufism, Judaism, Hermeticism, and the Egyptian Mysteries, was not meant to carry the burden of the Kali Yuga. This era required a people whose energy was oppressive and predatory to propel civilization through these dark times. In the Kali Yuga, the West accepted this challenge. No other race could have done a better job.

 

The world’s first great civilizations: the Indus Valley (2600–1900 BCE), Ancient Egypt (2500–500 BCE), Mesopotamia (2000–500 BCE), and China (1500 BCE–500 CE), were cultures of extraordinary sophistication, engineering mastery, and refined social order. They pioneered water management, drainage systems, precise weights and measures, metallurgy, and ingenious lifting mechanisms that laid the foundations of what we now call technology. Later cultures in Greece (600–200 BCE) and Rome (200 BCE–500 CE) built upon the knowledge of earlier civilizations, often adapting it while showing respect. Britain, on the other hand, stood upon these same shoulders but actively rewrote history to depict these innovators as primitive and claimed the discoveries as their own. Colonial powers conquered and destroyed, mocked the sacred, and appropriated knowledge to build courts, transportation networks, armies, hospitals, and bureaucracies. This appropriation was not in the service of balance or universal good, but in pursuit of profit, domination, and empire.

​

When the modern hubristic Western gaze looks at India’s poverty, corruption, or hardship and dismisses it as a “useless” or “backward” civilization, it betrays a profound ignorance. They fail to recognize that this is more than an 8,000-year-old civilization whose intellectual, technological, and spiritual contributions laid the foundations for much of the modern world. The real legacy demands acknowledgment: these were not “uncivilized” peoples, but visionaries and architects of progress whose wisdom continues to shape humanity today. Ancient India stands out for its unique comprehensiveness, seamlessly combining theoretical breakthroughs in mathematics, astronomy, and algorithms with practical innovations in medicine, metallurgy, sanitation, and urban design - making it arguably one of the wealthiest and most technologically sophisticated civilizations of its era. Its poverty was not inherent but imposed, born of an inability or refusal to strike a “deal” with the self-centred, hubristic forces of conquest. 

​

Most ancient civilizations welcomed Western visitors with openness and curiosity, eager for trade and cultural exchange. But when these visitors stayed and seized control, the treaties they imposed were often deceitful and exploitative, leaving a deep imprint of trauma. This was the Kali Yuga in motion. Today, both the conquered and the conquerors must seek healing, so that these karmic wounds can be released and balance restored.

 

The West must Evolve

Racism persists because many Western societies fail to acknowledge

that their global dominance is relatively recent and was built on the

backs of the very people they marginalize. No single race or culture

can claim exclusive credit for human progress.

​​​

The vibration of revelation lies beyond the reach of those bound to

profit. It manifests through two complementary vibrations:

​

1. The Vibration of the Mystic-Creators:
Through discipline and refinement, the mystic-creators gain divine

insight and revelation. The mystic’s vibration attunes to the Supreme

Intelligence, listening to creation itself, not for utility, but for the

inherent beauty, order, and harmony it reveals. It is the vibration

embodied by the Rishis who composed the Vedas and by the

Egyptian initiate-seers, for whom to know God was to know the Self.

In this silence of deep understanding, the patterns of mathematics,

music, law, and all universal systems unveil themselves, reflecting

the inner architecture of consciousness and the cosmic rhythm that

underlies existence.

​

2. The Vibration of the Occult-Inventors
The occult-inventor, by contrast, approaches revelation through restless curiosity and relentless experimentation. Less disciplined in spirit yet fiercely devoted to their craft, they seek to unlock the mysteries of the universe and harness them for humanity’s benefit. Their genius often carries an eccentric edge, born of obsession and untiring pursuit. This is the vibration embodied by Tesla, a mind driven not by wealth or acclaim, but by curiosity, service, and the uncompromising search for truth.

​

Many of the West’s greatest inventors and thinkers, Tesla, Einstein, Newton, Galileo, Da Vinci, Kepler, Descartes, and countless others, stood upon the vast foundations laid by the civilizations of India, Egypt, China, Mesopotamia, and beyond. What they created were usable and brilliant systems in science, mathematics, philosophy, medicine, literature, and the arts - carrying forward the timeless stream of human knowledge into new forms.

​

As we enter Dwapara Yuga, the demand of the age transforms. Profit-driven mindsets can no longer serve as humanity’s compass. The vision must be entrusted to both streams of revelation: the mystic-creators and the occult-inventors. For they alone embody the quest for progress untainted by agenda. The mystic-creators, enlightened gurus, and paramahamsas of this age will anchor civilization in truth, purity, compassion, and austerity - the foundations upon which the next chapter of humanity must be built.

 

The vibration of revelation, which encompasses both the frequency of mystic-creators and occult-inventors, resonates at a level far removed from that of the colonial, profit-driven mindset. The billionaires of today, much like the colonizers of the past, do not operate in the realm of revelation. Their talent lies in extraction: in identifying profitable systems, consolidating knowledge, and deploying it at scale. But they do not originate new paradigms.

​​

Beyond Profit: Awakening the Western Conscience

True advances in science, governance, art, and philosophy have rarely come from those whose focus is profit. Efficiency, ownership, and consolidation have been their mastery, not the birth of new worlds of thought. This distinction can be seen clearly in the lives of Edison and Tesla.

​

Edison’s fame rests not upon original discovery but on his ability to industrialize, patent, and market the work of others. The incandescent light bulb? Early versions were created by Swan, Maxim, and de la Rue; Edison perfected the filament and built the system to sell it. Motion pictures? Pioneers such as Le Prince and Muybridge laid the groundwork long before. Edison’s brilliance was in scale, commercialization, and spectacle, not in the revelation of new scientific principles.

​

Tesla, by contrast, was a true conduit of revelation. His alternating current, polyphase systems, and radio transmission arose from direct insight, born not of ambition or gain but of an inner call to serve humanity. He was an occult-inventor, guided by principle rather than profit. Yet while history celebrated Edison, it overlooked Tesla, leaving him unrecognized, exploited, and left to starve.

This divide is eternal: true revelation cannot reach those entangled in the vibration of profit and dominion. It flows only to souls attuned to service, vision, and the higher frequencies of creation; souls untouched by greed, ambition, or spectacle. Where profit rules, extraction and superficiality flourish, while the deepest knowledge, the pure vibration of selfless invention, and mystical insight are set aside. This reality leaves humanity with systems that fail; that reduce the majority of people to material poverty, and engender spiritual emptiness in everyone. 

​

For the world to truly thrive, all three archetypes are indispensable: the mystic, the inventor, and the esteemed profiteer. Edison could not channel Tesla’s inventive genius, just as Tesla could not assume Edison’s role of bringing invention to the masses. Nor could Tesla have realised his designs without the mathematical insights of the Rishis. In an ideal world, the profiteer, the inventor, and the mystic work in harmony, so that mystical insight, scientific invention, and distribution move as one. 

​​

Although the West’s conquerors and today’s billionaires have played an immense role in the unfolding story of Earth, the conquerors unified the globe through colonization, and the billionaires of our time have ruthlessly marketed for-profit systems, steering humanity through the long night of Kali Yuga. Their influence cannot be ignored. Yet as enlightened beings, we view history through the deeper laws of karma, dharma, and reincarnation. Just as we inherit genes from our ancestors, we also inherit cultural karma. To be born into any lineage, whether “white” or otherwise, is not an escape from history; it is an inheritance of both debts and merits. The birth we receive is a responsibility, for the choices we make now are bound to the actions of those who came before.

​

Both East and West hold lessons for the future. The West, in particular, must temper its hubris and its persistent belief that it alone is the savior of the world. It must reckon with its record, the brilliance and the brutality alike. For true progress is not measured in what is conquered, discovered, or built, but in the conscience with which those achievements are carried, the justice they serve, and the dharma they uphold.

​

Evidence shows that hard work alone does not create billionaires, despite what many self-made wealth narratives suggest. We all know countless hardworking people, for example, individuals balancing multiple jobs whose hard work never translates into wealth. True billionaire status, as history reveals, arises not merely from hard work but from a ruthless drive for self-interest, often involving exploitation, cunning, and systemic advantage.

​

Tapas, in the Indian tradition, means far more than hard work. Derived from the root tap, “to burn,” it is the inner fire of discipline and self-purification. Tapas is the practice of working with sincerity, ethics, and restraint, not for selfish gain but for alignment with dharma. It is effort that refines the mind, burns away impurities, and transforms struggle into clarity and strength. In daily life, tapas may take the form of meditation, fasting, simplicity, or simply performing one’s duty with devotion and honesty. Unlike labor driven by ambition or greed, tapas is a conscious striving that uplifts the individual and benefits the world, turning work itself into a spiritual offering.

​

This is why the vision of the coming age cannot be entrusted to profiteers, conquerors, or extractors. It must belong to those who embody higher vibrations of invention, knowledge, and awakening: the mystics, enlightened gurus and avatars who anchor truth, compassion, and purity through their tapas. And the inventors, philosophers, and scientists who seek discovery not for personal gain, but for the benefit of humanity. Together, they provide the compass by which civilization may ascend into its next stage.

​​

India’s Waiting: Between Dharma and Decline

The Eastern and Near Eastern world remained deeply rooted in communion with the Source, whether through Hinduism, Buddhism, Sufism, Islam, Judaism, Hermeticism, Nazarenes (early Christians), or the ancient religions of Egypt and Mesopotamia. Each tradition, in its own way, sought to attune the human spirit to the eternal.

Indigenous civilizations, the peoples of the Americas, the Aboriginal Australians, the Maori of New Zealand and others turned to ancestors, elements, and the living earth in their search for the invisible realms.

​

Yet in the Kali Yuga, when the veil of matter thickened, these calls often went unanswered. What was once a living dialogue with the divine became silence. Without direct response, many cultures preserved only fragments of ritual, while the West, judging their chants, prayers, and offerings to stone, river, or sky as folly, dismissed them as primitive - even insane.

​

India remained anchored in Dharma, yet in the depths of Kali Yuga the light of cosmic order grew veiled. The Source was never absent, only concealed. Sustained by the memory of earlier ages, India preserved its faith but could no longer draw fully upon its power. In this half-illumined state, it faltered; drifting into stagnation, where chaos and confusion became familiar companions. Remembering its ancient union with the Eternal, India would not, and could not, adopt the ways of conquest or plunder. Its instinct was to preserve, not to seize. But in waiting and refusing to act outwardly, it slipped into passivity and decline.

​

Before Kali Yuga, Egypt, China, and Russia stood as civilizations of immense spiritual and material power. Egypt thrived on nature worship, cosmic balance (Ma’at), and mysteries of death and rebirth, guided by initiate-seers and hierophants whose wisdom echoed that of India’s ancient rishis. Ancient China upheld cosmic order through Dao, harmony with heaven, and ancestor reverence. Early Russia, rooted in Indo-European pagan traditions, honored the divine in nature and sky. Yet as Kali Yuga unfolded, these giants crumbled: Egypt yielded to worldly rulers, China to materialist ideology, and Russia to industrial systems, trading spiritual depth for power and survival.

​

India, by contrast, never abandoned its spiritual foundation. This endurance, however, came with a paradox. In preserving spiritual treasures, India grew materially fragile, its outer structures unable to match its inner strength. 

​

To enter India today is to encounter both its ancient brilliance and its present burden. Modern India radiates an overwhelming intensity: color, sound, ritual, and devotion. But alongside those elements stand poverty, neglect, and injustice. Its profound inward life has turned largely toward accepting suffering as karma or as a path to transcendence. This withdrawal from ambition and material striving has created a unique openness, a space in which enlightened gurus, saints, rishis, and Avatars can most readily incarnate. In India, one can still witness the living fruits of the spirit: love, joy, peace, faith, kindness, patience, meekness, and a quiet devotion woven into daily life. What began as a noble strength of spirit gradually hardened into imbalance: the spiritual was elevated while the material was neglected, leaving daily life inefficient and often just endured rather than transformed.

​

India fell into a deep civilizational depression when it could no longer connect with the Source as it had in the Satya Yuga. This disconnection expressed itself as a dangerous passivity in the face of suffering: crimes against women went unchallenged, chaos spread across streets and institutions, and essential systems, sanitation, housing, healthcare, education, and governance, were left to decay under corruption and neglect. Poverty deepened, overpopulation spiralled, and air and water grew poisoned. Just as an individual sinks into inertia when their inner connection falters, so too did this once-great civilization, withdrawing into resignation instead of rising to meet its challenges.

​

Ancient India, once among the wealthiest and most advanced cultures on Earth, became paralyzed by its own foreknowledge of Kali Yuga. Instead of confronting the darkness, many retreated into fatalism: “Take a better birth next time,” or “Wait for the Avatar to turn the Yuga.” Yet inaction is itself a choice. Now, in the Dwapara Yuga, India must awaken from its passivity and harmonise action with stillness. It must restore the balance of masculine and feminine within its civilization, and carry forward its greatest legacy: an unbroken spiritual inheritance, which is vital for the healing of humanity.

The West’s Spiritual Confusion

By contrast, the West chose a darker path. When dharma faltered, standing on a single fragile leg, the West made no effort to restore it. In Vedic thought, dharma is the foundation of a just and harmonious world, upheld by four legs: truth, purity, compassion, and dedicated work. When these weaken, society loses its balance; when only one remains, the world stands on the edge of collapse. Instead of rebuilding that lost harmony, the West lunged for power. It tore fragments from the wisdom of the East, twisted them, and forged a civilization of conquest, blood, and domination. Even its supposed cornerstone, Christianity, was never truly its own. It was rooted in Judaism and in the life of Jesus, a son of the East. A master who walked the ancient path of guru and disciple, who taught men and women alike the way of light.

​

Over time, it remade Jesus, the brown-skinned Eastern mystic, into a pale-skinned image: blue-eyes, blonde-hair, and sanitized for the empire. ​The West stole the mantle from Rome, forging a counterfeit Christ to sanctify its wars. Borrowing from Constantine’s playbook, it twisted truth into propaganda and wore the lie as its identity in the age of Kali Yuga. What it calls Christianity is not the path of the Nazarean Jesus but a hollow mask; a stolen inheritance draped in imperial robes.

​

Had the West been honest in its hunger for the Divine, it would have returned to its own roots in Greece, where philosophers once sat at the feet of Indian and Egyptian sages, learning the secrets of the cosmos and the laws of the soul.

​​

Pythagoras himself lived as a disciple, proving that even in Europe the guru-disciple path once breathed authentically. He did not hoard knowledge or invent it from nothing. He received it through surrender, discipline, and initiation under masters in Egypt, Babylon, and India. In these regions, he absorbed not mere knowledge but the living sciences of the soul: Mathematics as the divine language unveiling cosmic and conscious ratios. Music as audible harmony revealed the “music of the spheres”. Astronomy mapped celestial rhythms that mirror human destiny. Philosophy guided human life through ethics, reason, and the pursuit of truth, while the Pythagorean metaphysics of number and harmony revealed that number is the very foundation of reality, weaving together the physical, moral, and spiritual dimensions into one vast, harmonious symphony.

​

When he returned to the West, Pythagoras carried that fire forward, founding a school at Croton (Southern Italy), which was structured very much like an ashram or gurukul: a disciplined community where disciples lived together, observed vows of silence, purity, and devotion, and immersed themselves fully in the pursuit of truth, harmony, and the cultivation of the soul. He opened the path to women as well as men, recognizing that the soul has no gender in its quest for liberation. In this way, Pythagoras’ school mirrored the guru-disciple tradition of India, where female disciples (sadhvis), have always been integral to the lineage. Through this, we see that Europe, too, once knew the sacred balance of masculine and feminine within the transmission of wisdom; a balance the West later obliterated in its lust for empire, control, and dominance.

​

Instead of following this authentic lineage, the West embraced Rome’s fabricated version of Jesus’ heritage. The early Nazareans lived Christianity as a path of inner gnosis: direct communion with the Divine, reverence for both masculine and feminine, recognition of reincarnation, and dharma. Like an Indian guru or seer, Jesus pursued years of meditation, silence, and discipline until he could perceive the vibration of Supreme Intelligence itself. Spiritual authority was earned through the transformation of consciousness.

​

​When Constantine rose to power in the 4th century CE, he was no sage, seer, or spiritual adept. He was a man forged by conquest and politics. Yet by placing himself at the centre of a newly refashioned religion, he seized spiritual authority without having walked the path of inner refinement. Christianity was recast in the image of empire: one God, one Church, one Emperor. Authority no longer flowed from gnosis but from imperial decree. Under his rule, the deeper sciences of spirit, the feminine presence, reincarnation, and the contemplative path were outlawed as heresy. What had been a way of liberation was reduced to obedience: do as Constantine commands, in the name of Christ.

​​

This was Rome’s familiar strategy. For centuries, the empire had absorbed the gods of conquered peoples, deified emperors, and used ritual to maintain control. But Christianity’s monotheism gave Rome a weapon far sharper. One absolute God meant one absolute narrative: sin, guilt, redemption, fear, and eternal life were all controlled by Church and State. Gone was the space for many paths, many vibrations, and many ways to the Divine.

​

Faith among the people often remained sincere, but rulers corrupted it, twisting devotion into an instrument of conquest, colonization, and hierarchy. God was recast as a distant, authoritarian figure in the sky. The feminine was erased. Inner alchemy gave way to dogma, guilt, and fear. 

​

As gurus, we hold that God’s truth remains accessible to sincere seekers through the name of Jesus. Though the Bible was compiled with impure intentions, and edited, adjusted, and portions omitted, some of Jesus’ authentic teachings endure. A seeker in direct communion with God can still uncover divine wisdom within its pages. Jesus embodied an enlightened energy, guided disciples in Nazareth, and descended from the lineage of Melchizedek. However, he was not fully recognized by his own people, a circumstance that allowed distortions of his work. These impurities and the incompleteness of the scriptures have misled many and caused harm. But for the genuine seeker, they continue to offer a true path to the Divine.

​

In time, atheism and materialism arose as a rebellion against a faith stripped of its soul. What the West inherited was not Nazarean gnosis but Constantine’s empire: Church and state were fused, and spirituality became bound in chains.

​

Over time, this imperial form of Christianity hardened into the template for Western religion. The great monotheisms spread across the world, colonizing lands, converting civilizations, and erasing ancient pantheons. In Africa, the Americas, and much of Asia, indigenous gods and goddesses were cast aside, their rituals surviving only as faint echoes beneath the weight of imposed monotheistic authority.

India’s Enduring Spiritual Foundation

Amid centuries of British domination and aggressive missionary

campaigns, India remained an extraordinary exception. While

colonized nations across the world saw their native traditions

weakened or erased, India held fast to its spiritual inheritance.

Despite relentless pressure, only a small fraction of its

population converted to Christianity, while the vast majority

continued to worship a vibrant pantheon of gods and goddesses.

​

At the core of Indian life, the balance of masculine kinetic and

feminine potential energies endured, sustaining a vision that

honors the divine in both spirit and matter. Yet because matter

is seen as transient - a passing stage rather than the ultimate

goal - India never pursued material development with the same

intensity as civilizations that equated progress with wealth and

power. Unlike most nations scarred by conquest, India emerged

with its cosmology intact, carrying forward a living spiritual foundation that connects the human and the eternal.

​​

The British conquest of India was driven by domination, efficiency, and profit, yet the nation’s spiritual wealth could not be extinguished. Even through poverty, famine, and political upheaval,  India has carried its traditions for over 10,000 years through an unbroken lineage of gurus and disciples. India safeguarded the timeless wisdom of its saints, rishis, and scriptures: The Vedas and Upanishads; the Smritis and Dharmashastras; the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata with its jewel, the Bhagavad Gita; the Puranas, Tantras, and Agamas; the Yoga Sutras, Brahma Sutras, and Samkhya Karika; the Arthashastra; and in the Buddhist stream, the Tripitaka and Dhammapada. 

​

For millennia, India has stood as a global center of mental well-being and spirituality, shaping how civilizations understand inner peace, self-realization, mindfulness, law, governance, and holistic health. Its vast sciences of yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, Advaita Vedanta, the principles of cosmic order, dharma (righteous duty), karma and reincarnation, self-inquiry, and liberation (moksha), along with prana breathwork, Buddhism, ahimsa (non-violence), and Satsang (spiritual gatherings), offer enduring frameworks for human growth. The guru–disciple lineages preserved this knowledge as living wisdom, ensuring that spirituality was never confined to temples or texts but woven into the fabric of daily life. Its tantric traditions of “weaving,” its diverse sciences, and its remarkable adaptability in the modern era keep India at the forefront of spiritual exploration. In today’s fractured world, where many long for balance between action and devotion, masculine and feminine, inner and outer, India’s preserved wisdom offers a timeless and transformative pathway to wholeness.

​​

But India’s endurance came at a cost. The British systematically drained the nation’s wealth, dismantled its industries, and left it impoverished. Once a global economic leader, India’s share of world trade collapsed under colonial policies that prioritized British interests. Beyond material loss, colonialism inflicted deep psychological and cultural wounds: it suppressed indigenous education, distorted caste identities, and left behind a legacy of division. Symbolic acts of resistance, such as Gandhi’s Salt March, revealed both the cruelty of foreign rule and the resilience of India’s spirit. Today, even as the nation rises from centuries of exploitation, it continues to carry forward its greatest gift, an unbroken spiritual inheritance that remains vital for the healing of humanity.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
