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.
