About this episode
Meditation: The Path to Inner Morality A person who does not practice meditation cannot master their own mind.
When one cannot master their mind, they become controlled by greed, selfishness, and anger or hatred — and will end up doing wrong.
But a person who practices meditation can master their mind and knows how to choose what is right.
If the entire society knew how to practice meditation, if everyone raised their moral awareness, then society would naturally become less divided.
Those who are poor but have cultivated merit will rise above their circumstances, and those who are rich yet possess morality will know how to help the poor — and thus society will be very beautiful.
We do not pull the rich down; we lift the poor up.
We lift the poor up by first uplifting their morality, and at the same time, when the rich have morality, they too will reach out their hands to help lift the poor.
A society like that would be truly beautiful — one guided by fair laws, yet enriched by humane, flexible, and compassionate policies that allow people to help and uplift one another.
