One attains peace, within whose mind all desires dissipate without creating any mental disturbance, as river waters enter the full ocean without creating any disturbance. One who desires material objects is never peaceful [Bhagavad Gita 2.70].

A strong economic order requires a stable social environment in which to function. Secular fear on the part of the business community inhibits commerce. Divine trust in the Almighty Creator produces confidence, harmony and the mutual understanding, necessary items for peaceful economic progress.

Without trust in the Divine Creator, extreme cyclical disharmony, social friction and physical conflict manifest themselves. Submission to God’s will anoints the society.

You cannot destroy the passions on your own, but ask God, and He will destroy them, if this is profitable for you [St. Anatoly of Optina].
