Why do we all become blind

I am many times surprised by tendencies of us human to be collectively blind. What I mean is take below events for example :
a) Internet boom in 2000 - Internet companies were being valued at P/E ratio of 1000 and even then it was being said they are undervalued. Shareholders were ready to pay today money which they were hoping would be earned after 50 years by the company! All the interst fundas were laid to rest. And then someone woke the world
b) Subprime crisis - Mortgage companies lending almost 100% amount taking home as security. None of the highly qualified investment bankers questioned it, everyone just thought because everyone is doing it , it should be right. By the time American companies realised their mistake - whole world economy was on verge of recession.
c) Allopathic treatments - We all know allopathic medicines have side effects. We all know Yoga and Ayurveda are much healtheir. Still if we are ill we rush to a doctor first and only if treatment doesnt gets done by Allopathy then we go for alternative sciences.

There are many many numerous examples of such collective blindness which we humans exhibit. And fact is we are exhibiting such blindness even today. Take for example - culture. What is mostly watched on TVand net - sex,crime, nudity. What do we expect to happen in the world - increase in crime, inrease in rapes, drugs , manifold increase in divorces, lack of respect between parents and kids, inspite of having everything around us to make us happy - we are still not happy from inside.

Open your eyes. Open your eyes to what is right for you. Analyse things from a rational perspective. See what is good for you and the world. And then decide your course.

Where is the road leading

Sitting in my bedroom - I gaze through the window and feel I am happy! The world around me seems to be crumbling - every day you see thousands of people loosing jobs, everyday I watch more and more corrupt politicians/beauraucrats breahcing the limits we thought they can go down to, doctors treating patients with Hepatitis infected needles somewhere in India, Islamic militants proving that this is the age of Kali, etc.. Lot of bad things happening. But for me lot of good too -the air outside is cool and clean, I have a family which loves me more than all the wealth in the world, I just saw some episodes from Mahabharata on youtube and my faith in Lord Krishna is stronger, I can move my hands and my legs, I can eat tasty food, I can express myself through a blog! All these good things are there with 90% of you who can read this blog (rest 10% have something else which I might not be having) - but still 90% of the time - 90% of these 90% people are not happy (including myself).

Ignorance is bliss - so is that the root of bliss I am feeling right now? I feel good that right now I am not thinking of whats happening around the world - but even if I do - the verse from Srimadbhagvat Gita -

yada yada hi dharmasya
glanir bhavati bharata
abhyutthanam adharmasya
tadatmanam srjamy aham

(Meaning - Lord Krishna says to Arjuna - Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion--at that time I descend Myself.)

What this means is that if I worry where the world would end up, if I worry what would happen millions of people dying in the world due to hunger, if I worry for foolish extremists killings and torturing thousands - if I think - I should not because there is this Supreme power taking care of that. I should do what my duty is - I should do my duty to do good deeds myself and inspire others to do the same - rest everything would take care of itself.

What my duty is - is defined by spiritual laws . Borrowing from Deepak Chopra's "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" - Law of Giving says that if I want to get something I should give that. If I want to receive money - I need to invest, if I want good health - I should promote good health for others, if I want to have a happy and loving family - I should help others to increase love in their family (by saying this I do not mean we do not need to do hard work, etc. - hard work is necessary but for hard work to bring fruit to you - you need to have the invisible but all prevasive Spiritual World on your side.
