We(soul) are different than the body and are owner of our body. So can we use our body according to our wish? Take an example: Can I drive my car just according to my wish? Can I pour kerosene instead of petrol and expect the same results? Can I ride car on mud roads? Can I commit accidents? Who is going to lose?
Definitely, I am going to lose. There are certain rules and regulations to follow in driving car and there is a proper method to drive car also. One should learn and follow them. Otherwise, it becomes an offence.
Every object in this world has its own properties/characteristics. Crossing the borders is called mal-operation or offence. As the authority of a person increases, his responsibility also increases. Even if an elderly person commits the same mistake as that of a child, the punishments for both differ. If the King does the same mistake of an ordinary citizen, do you say both should be punished to the same extent?
Many do not understand the meaning of the statement “All are EQUAL in front of Law”. But Law itself is different for different people, is it not! Many say there should be EQUALITY in the world. If everybody becomes King, then how will be the society? Some say works of equal periods should be paid equally. Will it be correct to give same payment for waiters of a small hotel and a five-star hotel? Is it justice to pay same salary to teachers of nursery or kindergarten class and PG students?
Hence one experiences happiness according to his capacity(purity), intellectual power and the authority(position). Accordingly, he is given responsibility and is subjected to law (and truth). (Truth and purity are measure of healthiness of the soul)
Equality does not mean to distribute equally!:- It means one should get proper(right) fruit for his work/action. Can a teacher give same marks for two students even if their answers differ? Opportunities should be given to a person to choose. But if a person does not use the opportunity properly, he will have to blame himself. Can everybody dream to become prime minister? Definitely it is not wrong. But he should follow the method to fulfill it. He should know where he is. An illiterate person dreaming to become a doctor should first try to pass first standard.
Very less people use the available opportunities in their life. There cannot be laziness or carelessness in life of those who use their opportunities properly. ( There are some handicapped people living independently having no complaints about themselves, others or the society. With strong determination and positive thinking, they have attained satisfaction in their life. ) Before complaining anybody or anything, one should check self whether he had properly used all the opportunities throughout his life so far?
