All religions talk about being good. All of humanity is laid on the foundation of being good and fair. Yet, there is so much of unfairness and so little fairness in us all. What accounts for this element of unfairness reflected in the present day materialism.

Whether religion is Divine or religions evolved as checks and measures to balance the human conscious as humanity developed is a question of law, ethics, society, sociology and the philosophers to contemplate. What is of greater significance and what is more important is the realization that all the religions have some basic common tenents on which their foundation lay. For those who do not believe in religion, they still have some basic principles which may be referred to as principles of humanity. And for those existing at an even more meta-physical level it is spirituality. The essence is the basic fundamental tenents spoken by different sages at different times, with the cardinal message remaining quintessentially the same. As borders become meaningless, multinationals ride high on the wave of globalization, leveraging from geographical competencies embedded in clusters across the world, as the brain drains on the modern day equivalent of Pushpak Vimans the Boeings and the Airplanes, as the inquistive mind questions the dogmatic religion and seeks solace in spirituality, the enigmatic question that rises like a wave is there an emerging wave of new age spirituality. The truth is one, the sages say it by different names. The moving mind thinks and having thought contemplates. In the shadows of Corporate Governance, as I see the buds of Corporate Social Responsibilty blossom, my heart cherishes the emergence of a new wave of spirituality.
