We must remember there are different qualities of persons each being influenced by modes of nature , either goodness passion or ignorance according to the Vedas , another influence is the Divine of Demoniac energies.
When it comes to the history of both religion or politics, it can be seen that on many occasions, wrong influences are brought to bear , and the results are violence, hatred and ignorance, truth slips further away from sight, and a fever pitch of deceit increases .
Before anyone accepts any political or religious leaders , better find out where their authority is coming from and if it can be traced to authentic statements based on the different grades of political and religious traditions .
Actually, in one sense, you can’t separate politics and religion. But in another sense you can , how so ? The Vedas make it clear that self realised souls don’t direct society , and that is left to the best of the administrative classes .
It’s clear from all standard theolgical texts worldwide , and the historical documents need to be researched thoroughly to check for unauthorised changes by unauthorised persons posing as something they are not . This is essential so as to know what truth is , truth and curruption of truth will be clear, in the minds of the truthful. Such pure persons see how such truth incorporates everyone , there is no sectarian spirit in truth. Thus, if any religious leader or political leader is biased or sectarian, they should be immediately dismissed and understood as not being bone fide spiritual or political leaders.
The Vedas give the broad definition of absolute truth and how truth always includes everyone and every being in their relitive positions.
It’s time for everyone in a world of the cheaters and the cheated to really understand what is truth and what the symptoms of truth are.
