________________ removed and a humanity prone system shall have to be organised in its stead. By this adjustment an accomplisher of human virtues and not the holder of wealth and property will be vitally installed, so that the ordinary people will be encouraged to achieve those virtues. The shallow and abominable competition to procure authority and property will end. This competition to obtain property and authority for self is in reality the genesis of all incongruities. This very competition has today converted all the behaviour of a man into hypocrisy. Today a man's mind contemplates something else but from his external conduct he appears to be something else, and in this way by his duplicate hypocritic conduct he propagates knavery and gradually makes the wileness as his profession. This is the evil result of today's money-cum authority orient organisation. In humanity orient social institution, preference will be given to consciousness, humanity and grand conviction to perform acts. As much a man relinquishes for the public good that much he will be honoured. Then on account of evenness of vision it will be genuine and that vision will perceive the nature of a thing in its correct perspective. When this vision is right, everybody will under its light (guidance) realise his responsibilities correctly. In this vigilant position he will be able to determine precisely his obligation or non-obligation. Then an individual or social life moulded in the frame of human attributes will remain prone to equanimity, and this equanimity also will not be one sided but multifaced.
