Temple riches can be utilized for building schools, flyovers, education, curbing poverty blah blah blah? Oh, do you think temple riches will solve all of India's problems? Will it resolve all the poverty and problems in India? Come on wake up, its almost noon, don't be so naive!
If confiscated by government, temple riches will go into the pocket of selected few who will grow richer and rest of us will read stories about how the files related to the temple riches suddenly vanished in thin air. We will discuss on FB and all social sites about these riches and the vanished files, will curse the government and then will be back to ways of earning our livelihood. There will be some court cases which will drag for years without any end and finally will result in rebuke to the government, dismissal of some babus and everything will be back to square one.
Temple riches are not the solution to India's problems. What we need is good governance and accountability, we need awareness, education, love and understanding among everyone. We need to stop discriminating and fighting among ourselves on the lines of religion, caste, language, creed and state. We need to remember that "God helps those who help themselves". Awaiting the change of fortunes due to some magic will only lead to doom. Even if temple riches are distributed evenly among poor Indians, it will not last them for more than few days or months. Then what? Will we ask government to sell the stuff in museums or stop the Indian space research or dismantle the huge Indian army?
Lunches are not free unless you are in Google, or was it Apple; anyways the point is that assuming some 100 Billion or 1 Trillion dollars will solve all our problems is foolish because no amount of money can solve the problems once and for all. Problems will keep creeping up one after the other; what we need to distribute among Indians (and its true for every country, yes even for Pakistan) is the will and courage to face the problems, the necessary education and knowledge to solve the problems, the perseverance to stand stiff against the force of adversity and come out unscathed.
Remember Temple riches will come and go, the riches of heart and mind will live until you are alive and if channelized properly will reach your next generation as well.
So don't await any miracle, be the miracle (inspired from the movie Bruce Almighty)!
