Whose Responsibility Is it?

It just amazes me how many spiritual people do not consider social responsibility their responsibility. I have heard of so many spiritual people, some holding positions of leadership who have total disregard to laws because they think that man made laws are not important once they 'align' with spiritual laws.

In Asia, we see the rampant production of illegal copy items from clothes, handbags to VCDs/DVDs. The masses purchase these items for selfish gratification, and they do so mostly due to greed, ignorance, the lack of understanding of the laws whether earthly or karmic or other reasons. Spiritual practitioners who discuss Karma over tea with friends will not even bat an eye lid when purchasing illegal DVDs, photocopying spiritual books(!) and 'stealing' other people's ideas. How can the earth and humanity enter the Golden Age and become 'enlightened' if people have no basic respect for others?

If we wish to walk on the path of Self & God realization, then we must strive to align every aspect of our lives with God/Spiritual/Ascended Masters' consciousness and take responsibility for all our actions. The laws of Karma are not just present in our spiritual work, or our spiritual relationships, they are present even in how we feed our physical bodies, in our thoughts and our mundane actions on earth.

As spiritual practitioners if we do not set better examples, then who will?
