The saying "veruthe koduthal veruthe aavum" (giving free makes the thing given free worthless) reflects the ultimate level to which we have corrupted ourselves. All of us recognise that terrorism poses the greatest threat to India today. But I would say, even beyond terrorism, it is corruption that poses the greatest threat to India. We have come to worship money to the extent that we would do anything for money as well as convince ourselves that nothing is worth it without money being associated with it. Money we say is Lakshmi. But in saying so, we have replaced Lakshmi with money. When Rama went to the jungle, Bhartha followed him and asked for his sandals to be put on the throne for Bhartha to rule Ayodhya symbolically. Now imagine what would have happened if he went on to believe that the sandals is the actual ruler? This is our position today. We have lost the integrity of Bhartha.
