THIS MATERIAL world is described in the Vedas as a perverted reflection of the spiritual dimension. Some examples of the world?s upside-down nature:

1. We have to protect ourselves from those who are paid to protect us.

2. Those who are meant to set us free are themselves enslaved by anger and frustration.

3. Some people who occupy high positions of authority are low in mentality.

4. The rich steal from the poor, thinking they don?t have enough.

5. People say they love you, then hurt you physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually.

6. People want to lead others even when they?re blind and devoid of wisdom.

7. Perverts are glorified and given exposure by the media. The meek and humble remain unseen and unheard.

8. Saintly persons are ignored or rejected. The truth revealed by sages isn?t welcomed by those who want to stay in the darkness. In this world, what?s lower is sometimes higher!
