Today, all over the world people are crying out one demand i.e ‘We want justice’. Some political parties say that the labour class doesn’t get justice because the rich are interested in having cheap labour so as to have higher profits. They think the capitalist class will never willingly do justice because they intend to perpetuate their economic superiority.
Therefore, their slogan is that the exploiters be expropriated by means of a violent revolution. In other words, they recommend violence for attaining justice. Similarly, those who take up the cause of a minority community think that discrimination on the basis of caste, ethnic origin, cult, racial colour, etc. is the main cause of injustice being done to them. Hence, they resort to agitation, groupism, riots and such other methods which further aggravate the situation.
Women activists point out that women have been denied their due in the society as they are physically weaker. They use agitation methods which, often, smell of hatred and vengeance, and create unnecessary bitterness. The leaders say that this kind of arm-twisting is necessary to wrench justice from male hands.
It is often said that in seeking justice, the real cause of injustice is missed. It can be seen that injustice in any form is in fact due to body-consciousness of man i.e the male doing injustice to female and the people of a community discriminating on the basis of colour or features or place of birth of the body.
The narrow considerations of caste, community, and the hatred, prejudice, partiality, unfair attitude and lack of consideration for other’s stand-point, which tarnish justice, are always due to direct or indirect attachment to one’s body which in simple words is described as body-consciousness. But it is really strange that, instead of eradicating body — consciousness and its concurrent evils like hatred, prejudice, etc. — mankind expects justice and fairplay by agitating, committing violence, thus increasing enmity.
It is high time that mankind realises that pure love which is all-encompassing and is based not on body and narrow considerations and has no touch of physical attachment is the need of hour to salvage oneself from all kinds of evils, and love for God and spiritual love for all humankind is the only solution to end all strife and to lead to attainment of justice without violence.
