Description

Acharya Prashant explains that crime and corruption are essentially violations of an order or system. He distinguishes between two fundamentally different types of orders: man-made orders and the natural inner order. Man-made orders are products of human thought, experience, and conditioning. Because they are conceptual, they lack absolute, universal, or timeless applicability. Such orders are relative and subject to change, leading to inevitable violations and disorder. He notes that attempting to enforce man-made orders often requires greed, fear, and violence, which are themselves greater crimes.
