On September 3rd at Jaipur's most crowded place(Sindhi camp), while crossing the road poor beggar was hit by heavy vehicle and died there itself. As he lay on the road, people ignored him and passed him by instead of helping him and calling police or the ambulance. A few vehicles ran over his body and police was informed much later. It's so painful even to read that over dead body several vehicles were running. We have become so desensitised and have lost all humanity and sympathy, even neighbor may starve, but we don't care for it.
We have all technical abilities, whole world lies in our pocket in the form of mobile, we can get connected to anywhere and everywhere with that, such a fast commutation systems we have developed, jet plane..metro...talgo trains, everything is automated in our industries, what a technological advancement which was never seen in history, but we have lost the human qualities like to be kind, merciful, offering helping hand for needy and poor, truthfulness etc. In the company of robot our hearts also became like robot, without feelings. We don't feel anything when someone is dying. In fact most of the technology is used in killing, so much bombing and shooting at innocent people, simply shameful. Prabhupad says,"On the street, in your front, if somebody’s being killed, nobody will take care; he’ll go on. There is no mercifulness. Even the mother has no mercifulness, killing the child. This is Kali-yuga."
Just see so many slaughter houses we have opened, billions of animals are murdered daily, trillions of fishes are killed in ocean and no one speaks, so many animals are tortured in labs under the name of scientific research. Humans have really desensitised, demons described in our scriptures were also not so much cruel like today's humans. But people are receiving reactions of their karmas from material nature, those who kill they will be killed. Today each country has the fear of nuclear weapon of other countries, everyone is living in fear, no one is peaceful due to technology.
World gives much importance to technology leaving morality aside but technology without moral codes is like giving knife in the hands of monkey which will only cause destruction. Culture and religion sustains morality, religion is established by God himself. Everything belongs to God and is to be used in his service, as we progress in love for God, we will love all of God’s creatures and respect the rights of others, including animals, this is highest form of morality, also it's stated that when one serves God all good qualities of demigods like sympathy, mercifulness invoked in his heart. So technology won't create peace but morality based on God consciousness only can establish the peace in the world.
