In modern society
there is always a great quarrel between the laborers and the
capitalists. This quarrel has taken an international shape, and the
world is in danger. Men face one another in enmity and snarl just like
cats and dogs. Sri Ishopanishad cannot give advice to the
cats and dogs, but it can deliver the message of Godhead to man through
the bona fide acharyas (holy teachers). The human race should
take the Vedic wisdom of Sri Ishopanishad and not quarrel
over material possessions. One must be satisfied with whatever
privileges are given to him by the mercy of the Lord. There can be no
peace if the communists or capitalists or any other party claims
proprietorship over the resources of nature, which are entirely the
property of the Lord. The capitalists cannot curb the communists simply
by political maneuvering, nor can the communists defeat the capitalists
simply by fighting for stolen bread. If they do not recognize the
proprietorship of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, all the property
they claim to be their own is stolen. Consequently they will be liable
to punishment by the laws of nature. Nuclear bombs are in the hands of
both communists and capitalists, and if both do not recognize the
proprietorship of the Supreme Lord, it is certain that these bombs will
ultimately ruin both parties. Thus in order to save themselves and
bring peace to the world, both parties must follow the instructions of Sri
Ishopanishad.
