Principles for a New World Order*
‘Whatever lives is full of the Lord. Claim nothing; enjoy, do not covet His property.’
Eesha Upanishad[1]
This is an English translation of an ancient Sanskrit scripture preserved in India that would have been known to both Gandhi and J.C. Kapur. Tolstoy’s book, The Kingdom of God is within You, echoes this.The verse is also a reminder of our relationship to the universe in which we live. I have chosen it because I want to focus on a lesser known aspect of Tolstoy’s work, that which deals with the right of property.
