Could you mean "Why have the eminences grises in the field of philosophy so far failed at redressing the social environment?" i.e. "How come the philosophers of old have been unable till now to change the way we live our lives?"
Comparing the faults in your language here and on Harry Sikasari's website, I have a feeling you're the same person. You seem a young aspiring philosopher, attempting to make a name for yourself by challenging the old. Fair enough, but considering how many philosophers have come before you and the apparent superficiality of your claims.. I suggest you listen to them first, then challenge them. Plato for one always encouraged this. Also, on the website there is a question about hwo to get closer to god. If you should abuse philosophy to come closer to a delusion, perhaps you should become psychiatrist on Oprah Winfrey instead.

Something from Melvyn Bragg's In Our Time
In the first century BC the Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero claimed “There is no statement so absurd that no philosopher will make it”. Indeed, in the history of Western thought, philosophers have rarely been credited with having much common sense. In the 17th century Francis Bacon made the point rather poetically and wrote “Philosophers make imaginary laws for imaginary commonwealths, and their discourses are as the stars, which give little light because they are so high”. Samuel Johnson picked up the theme with characteristic pugnacity in 1751 declaring that “the public would suffer less present inconvenience from the banishment of philosophers than from the extinction of any common trade.” Philosophers, it seems, are as distinct from the common man as philosophy is from common sense.

I cannot understand the question or the downloaded extract. It sounds like Hindu mumbo jumbo to me.
When ever I have heard a Hindu speak I end up as much confused as when I started. The other problem is it is not in English.

The philosophers may be bright, but the people are as thick as pigshit! and just can't stop perpetuating the circle of pain.

Since I cannot understand your question I regretfully decline your invitation to think and sincerely hope you sleep it off before asking another question.
