I have come across an insightful quote: " If you want to reach soon, go alone; if you want to reach safely take others along with you."
As i was gazing the sky today evening i saw a flock of birds flying in together in the grand V shape. i discovered that flying that way makes it easier for the birds to travel longer distances without straining themselves individually.
Well if this is the case with nature, these birds have not gone to any school to learn about global optimization as a key for sustainability. It is but natural for these birds. If you or me were to confront these birds and ask as to what made them fly together they would perhaps die laughing at our ignorance!!!
Look at our own affairs in our daily humdrum. Each of us focus on our individual gain and satisfaction' the idea of our the extended self completely forgotten.
These birds have not visited any great University have not sat in classes of Al Gore, Stiglitz or Sen for that matter. It comes natural for them. Can we then attempt to conclude that a much deal of harm in our thinking has been made by our current system of learning?
So what is really needed in us, in you and me today: we need to become our natural selves, understanding ourselves, the environment and the planet in its fullness and in its completeness instead of narrow broken parts as we do now.
Let us see then how do we do it. First of all we see the world not as what it is but as what we are. Interestingly we humans are a conglomerate of the body, mind and the spirit dwelling within. how many at this stage here even have the sufficient experience to accept this plain truth. It is indeed sad that many are not even capable of understanding this simple truth. For those who don't know this much i would invite them to be with themselves for a few minutes in the morning and evening free from all other pre-occupations.
For the others who are convinced that they are a conglomerate of body, mind and the spirit let me invite them to read this article further.
We all are aware of the fact that at a particular temperature and pressure ( find out yourselves) water exists in all the three states. likewise at a particular state of mind and body, we become aware of the unity and the harmony among the body, mind and the spirit. Those who have experienced this inner harmony alone are capable of contributing worthwhile to themselves, others around them and the planet at large.
So going from where we have begun, let me say that to understand about global optimization to ensure and enable sustainability of the planet, we need to be in harmony with ourselves, the body, the mind and the spirit need to be in harmony among themselves.
In the pages to come let me share as to how to experience this harmony and make your stay on this planet meaningful to yourselves, the innermost urge that each have. Welcome to this wonderful journey, the enigmatic adventure that you have stepped into now!!!!!
