The pace at which arms race continues clearly depicts that the nation heads are stressed. They should be taught meditation to release it, says Rajyogi Brahmakumar Nikunj Ji

Its been over seven decades when the United States of America dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. It killed around 1,40,000 people by the end of the year, out of the 3,50,000 who lived in the city.

Three days later, a second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, which had the same devastating effect on the lives of people. The world has not forgotten this event even after more than 70 years, for the blast had not only killed thousands of people but marked a watershed in the human history. It had launched the world into the era of nuclear weapons.

For the first time, the world had weapons which has the capacity to annihilate the human species. Heads of some nations, therefore, marked this occasion, of the 73rd anniversary of the most dreadful event by urging world’s inhabitants to assert themselves against these weapons. But do governments and people realise the importance of the situation? The way the arms race continues and the pace at which control negotiations at various conferences at UN are proceeding, do not really reflect any sense of urgency among the leaders of the superpowers.

It seems that the sensitivities of the rest of the mankind have become benumbed by years of conditioning, through fruitless discussions. So that, it can now watch the nuclear race helplessly. The psyche of the common people has been conditioned in such a way that many of them think, these weapons are of different nature and will never be used. They seem so insensible that even the disclosure of top leaders of most powerful nations will hardly open their eyes.

Many heads of powerful nations have clearly confessed that during their presidency, they considered using nuclear weapons many times on enemy countries. The threat still continues with counter statements being made by leaders time and again. Add to this fact, that the command control and the communication system have become complicated and vulnerable to failures that there is always a possibility of nuclear disaster being triggered, even accidentally.

We have to keep in mind that no man, including the heads of nuclear nations, is without physical weaknesses.

In fact, the recent news reports, which said that the president of a nuclear power nation had a life threating disease, clearly shows that the heads of nuclear powers suffer acutely from stress. This, being diseased, may make them take a decision, which might destroy most part of the human race. Further, thousands of personnel having access to nuclear weapons are discharged for drug-abuse, alcoholism and psychological disorders. Alert weapons are not kept electronically locked because of their role. They can be triggered by a psychologically sick person.

So as things stand, the future of mankind is grim. It would be wise to practise and teach meditation to those powerful people so that they can release their stress.
