The human search for real progress by P. R. Sarkar
What is progress? "Prakrsta gati ityartha pragati." Where movement is
towards Shubha it is called progress. Where movement is not associated
with Shubha it is retardation. For instance, going up the hill or down
are both movements, but in different directions.
What is progress in the real sense? Normally, people associate the
word progress with scientific progress, but actually, scientific
progress may or may not be true progress. The essence of progress is
movement towards Shubha.
Human existence is trifarious. It has the physical, the intellectual
and the spiritual aspects. There is movement in all three spheres, and
therefore there can be progress in all three spheres. The main
consideration, however, iswhat is the goal or the aim of movement? Or
in other words, what is the summum bonum of life? The movement which
leads from Shubha to Parama-shubha is progress.
