Our foreign policy is based on the principle of positive neutrality. It is
not a negative approach. It is guided by the spirit of non-interference in the
affairs of others. This policy is rooted in our historical background. This is
not to mean that we do not want to express our opinions even when we are
called upon to do so. Some countries of the world feel that our policy of noninterference
in the conflicts is due to weakness. They do not approach of it.
That type of approach is incorrect. We want this world should be free from
conflicts and we cannot possibly take the trouble of involving ourselves in
one way or the other when we have our own problems to solve. Until and
unless we find solutions to all of them, our voice may not be heard in the
counsels of the world.
We are against the destructive weapons like atom bomb. Some think
of solving the problems by using them. The philosophy of our policy is to
avoid such unnecessary conflict in the world and to be of some assistance
when it is ought for from us. We believe in easing the major problems rather
than aggravating them. Our friendly relational with the neighboring and
other countries is the success of our foreign policy.There comes a point in life when we find everything meaningless.
Who we are and what we have done, suddenly appear be inconsequential and
worthless. When we look around, everyone else also seems to be confined in
a similar futile existence. In this context, we start losing hope and develop a
gamut of psychological or physical disorders. Is this our destiny perhaps not,
because, since time immemorial, enlightened ones have grappled with gloom
and realize the truth.
The one who we worship and venerate as Rama underwent a similar
crisis wherein he figured out that both the mind and the external world are
fraught with delusions. He concluded that under the spell of these falsehoods
people go through multiple cycles of birth and death, without discovering
happiness. Sage Vasishta dispelled all darkness that was engulfing the mind
of Prince Rama, so that he cloud clearly see the path to liberation and break
free of suffering. This illumination dialogue between Prince Rama and
Vashishta has been narrated in the Yoga Vasishta.
The corner stone of the path to salvation is this rigorous effort, which
emerges from a deep knowledge of scriptures, instructions of a learned one
and ones own determination.
