Targeted therapy is a term used in the medical sciences. There are about 25,000 genes in the human body. Targeted therapy is a type of treatment that targets those specific genes that contribute to cancer growth, while leaving out other genes. Targeted therapy includes drugs that are aimed at specific genes that are only found in cancer cells that contribute to cancer growth and survival. It is this selective treatment carried out on a selective basis that is called targeted therapy.
The same technique is required with regard to human reform. The basic factor governing the human being is the mind. There is a saying in the Bible: “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” (Proverbs 23:7). Therefore, to bring about change in human life the starting point is to first change the human mind by bringing about change in the thinking process. The method of targeted therapy is useful for most aspects of the human life. This principle is beneficial for maintaining the physical health of the human body and also in developing a healthy personality.
Many people speak about the necessity of social reform. In spite of all the Himalayan effort being done in this regard, there is no result, because the starting point is not correct. The starting point is to bring about change in the individual, to address the individual mind and to revolutionize the thinking of the individual. This is the right way of social reform. No other method will work in this regard.
