Krishna Dharma gives a great explanation of the "regulative principles of freedom" in this short essay...
We want to do whatever we please, whatever feels good. We like to have our "freedom of choice" without too many of those pesky religious impositions that so troubled our more superstitious ancestors. But if we analyze our situation we can see that our assumed freedom to do what we like is actually not so free at all. All we are doing is following the dictates of our mind and senses. We cannot sit peacefully for very long before our agitated mind and senses impel us to get up and seek some kind of gratification.
Only when we have the power to deny our powerful mind and senses can we say that we truly have free choice.
Here's a challenge to our prasadam distribution...
THE cost of a range of basic grocery items has risen well above inflation over the past five years and industry experts warn that prices are set to increase further in 2008.
The prolonged drought, soaring farm business costs, high grain prices and booming overseas demand for some Australian produce is putting pressure on food prices.
...and an opportunity for the farmers amongst us.
