That holy essence has to be experienced and realised. One's selfish needs have to be sacrificed. There must be constant efforts to do good to others. One's desire should be to establish the welfare of the world. With all these feelings filling the heart, one must meditate on the Lord. This is the right path. If 'great men' and those in authority are thus engaged in the service of humanity, and in promoting the welfare of the world, the thieves of passion, hatred, pride, envy, jealousy and conceit will not invade the minds of men; the divine possessions of man, like dharma, mercy, truth, love, knowledge and wisdom will be safe from harm. The police and the rulers can overcome only external foes. They have no power to destroy the internal enemies; they will find the task impossible. They are not the authorities for that. The internal foes, the six enemies that operate inside man, the Arishadvarga, can be uprooted only by the teachings of good men, the love of God and knowledge of the Lord, and the company of the Holy and the Great. Just as when the police and the authorities responsible for apprehending thieves become themselves dependent on them, the world will suffer harm at the hands of wicked men, if the Brahmanishtas and the 'great' Sadhus give up the path of world welfare and become the victims of sense enjoyment and ambition to earn name and fame. The world will become enveloped in darker ignorance and Dharma will be destroyed. Now both are as described. Hence, the daily increase of suffering also. The whole world will bask in peace and joy only that day when both these groups realise the right attitudes, and with the welfare of all at heart, ponder over the Omnipotence of the Lord. Both these are two governments for man's two states. Spiritual elders are the rulers of the internal state; administrative authorities are the rulers of the external state. If both these groups act and direct properly, both states will function to create happiness. The blame for the present misery must therefore be shared by both. It is at such times that the Lord resolves to vouchsafe happiness to all and to suppress ignorance and justice. It is to make this clear that the Lord said in the Githa:

Yadaa yadaa hi dharmasya
Glaanirbhavathi Bharatha
Abhyuththaanamadharmasya
Thadaatmaanam srijaamyaham.

O Bharatha, whenever Dharma declines and Adharma raises its head, then I make myself born.
