My views on justice – June 3, 2025

For man justice is the pursuit of the moral order as manifest in the material domain – for the betterment of the material conditions of life on Earth and for the benefit of all sentient life in accordance with the source. Justice is therefore imperative for life in the material domain, so that man can become enabled to transcend into the moral plane and enter into the state of true enlightenment and become one with the all. The only legitimate moral arbiter at the manifestation of injustice and at the corruption of the moral order is therefore, the transcendent law standing above all independent stations of the Earth, providing the insights and legitimate motivation for man to make justice, always with the highest goal of upholding the moral order. To uphold and to defend the moral order of the universe is indeed the essence of what true justice is.

    In the modern world however, man has willingly distorted and corrupted the essence of true justice – in the pursuit of mere material goals and short term gains in the motif of ever greater and ever increasing quantities. The law is no longer derived from the source and the law no longer stands on the firm and sacred foundation of the moral order; instead justice has been reduced to a mere legal construction, not for the benefit of anyone or anything else than he who seeks short term gain and reparations for the imposition of material conditions adverse to his previous purse. While man's sense of justice and need for a fair imposition of material conditions on all men is quite understandable, particularly in the context of the nihilistic tendencies of the modern world, it is nonetheless a corruption of the essence of justice, for it lacks the scared foundations of the moral order of the universe.

Mahākāla (महाकाल) — the arbiter of the Dharma

    No true man of noble rank would inflict injustice on his fellow man or any other sentient being for that matter, but in the modern world there's a distinct confusion of what actually makes justice, because of: man's obsession with the material, and man's belief in his own image as the ideal – man's idolatry. As such, the material domain is the only true arbiter of justice in the modern world, with man himself at the center of the moral law and as the chief arbiter of that law, and as such it can be expected that the concept of justice should only further become corrupted, based on the increasing materialistic pursuits of modern man. What makes justice has less and less to do with any sincere respect for the sacred and for the authority of the moral order, and as such the concept of justice has dilapidated and fallen into the disarray of the beastly and materialistic pursuits of man, not the sincere pursuit of justice.

    For man, there is still a legitimate feeling of outrage at the sight and knowledge of injustice, but this feeling is ever fading as he becomes ever more consumed with the material distractions all around him, even while the world is decaying all around him. The reduction of justice to such things as reparations only when the pursuit of that reparation revolves around the merely material is what happens in a civilization in decay, but this is also expected during the era of the Kali Yuga. In order to still uphold the moral order, depart the material and uphold the moral – become transcendent and one with the all. The world is meant to be endured, let the Kali Yuga make you a better man.
