According to the anthropologist there is the nature's law of struggle for existence and survival of the fittest. But they do not know that behind the law of nature there is the supreme direction of the Supreme Lord Personality of Godhead. In the Bhagwat Geeta it is confirmed that the law of nature is executed under the direction of the Lord. Whenever therefore there is peace in the world it must be known that it is due to the good will of the Lord. And whenever there is upheaval in the world it is also due to the Supreme will of the Lord. Not a blade of glass moves without the will of the Lord. Whenever therefore there is disobedience to the established rules enacted by the Lord there is war between man to man, nation to nation. The surest way to the path of peace is therefore dovetailing everything with the established rule of the Lord.
#$p#The established rule is that whatever we do, whatever we eat, whatever we sacrifice or whatever we give in charity must be done to the full satisfaction of the Lord. Nobody should do anything, eat anything, sacrifice anything or give in charity anything against the will of the Lord. Discretion is the best part of valour and one must learn how to discreminate between actions which may be pleasing to the Lord or which may not be pleasing to the Lord. An action is thus judged by the end in the matter of the Lord's pleasure or displeasure. There is no room for personal whims we must always be guided by the pleasure of the Lord and this action is called Yoga karmasya kousalam or actions may be performed keeping link with the Supreme Lord. That is the art of doing a thing perfectly.
