Personal Integrity is the Foundation of Society

Personal corruption inevitably develops into widespread societal corruption. The timeless values of Sanatana Dharma—truth, non-violence, and self-restraint—are essential to maintaining a just and harmonious society. It is not enough to merely declare these virtues; they must be genuinely practiced at the individual level. When personal integrity is compromised, it creates a ripple effect, leading to the degradation of societal values. If we ignore the importance of personal integrity, society will face disastrous consequences. To protect and uplift society, every individual must embody these values and act with unwavering integrity.
