The industrial revolution does not compel anyone to lower the moral standard. No doubt,
it might have facilitated this fall to some extent. The real mischief was done by the misleaders of
mankind who deliberately exalted material values over spiritual values. It is never too late to
mend. Even now, if the heart of man be cleansed of the dross of selfishness and selfaggrandizement,
and righteousness enthroned in it, the moral standard can be kept high in spite
of the most spectacular industrial development.
