Only those who take to meditation with good intentions can be assured of success. With the development of the purity and power of the mind backed by insight into the Ultimate Truth of nature, one might be able to do a lot of things in the right direction for the benefit of mankind. 

The Buddha said, “Oh monks, develop the power of concentration. He who is developed in the power of concentration sees things in their true perspective.” This is true of a person who is developed in samadhi (concentration). It must be more so in the case of a person who is developed not only in samadhi but also in panna (wisdom).
