Political Significance

The purpose of the study of politics is how to better organize human beings in order to achieve the most peace and happiness in their lives. This has been the accepted view of the role of political science since the time of Confucianism. In order to improve the world, one must improve the country; In order to improve the country, the individual must improve the people, and in order to improve the people, the individual must improve. If the individual can perfect himself, the family tends to perfection; From the family the influence is transmitted to the people; And then from the people to the country and to the world. An abstract comparative study of the political constitutions of different countries, their political parties and their customs is impossible to help a person to improve as a human being. Therefore, if the field of political science is restricted only to this type of study, the true purpose of political science will be defeated. Meditation reveals hidden possibilities and improves human ability in all walks of life. Therefore, it seems impossible to ignore that the practice of meditation should be added to the study of political science. By knowing the regulations as well as developing the hidden internal capabilities, the human being grows in the best qualities and capabilities. This would achieve the purpose of the study of political science, and would complement and accomplish its broader field. Therefore, it is suggested to add a few minutes per day of Transcendental Meditation to the study of political science.
Political science will remain a tool for social elites to manage the problems facing societies, which are generated by development, and for this reason it is an advanced science, to which life adds a new day every day, a summary of the local and international human experience in managing people’s affairs. This science acquires a special importance in this stormy circumstance that the Arabs live in in all their countries, from their surroundings to their Gulf. It is the tool that lights the way to put the matter in dispute between the conflicting groups in the right place, and to reach solutions to their problems that everyone sees as serving him. Political science is the means to put the train on the right track, because it teaches them how to manage their affairs for the good of all, and in this they will escape from the hell of their world.
Political science is considered the closest to managing the affairs of government, and planning to build meaningful development programs that contribute to addressing the negative phenomena that hinder development in all its forms.
