You say that reading engg, science and management books will give enlightenment, nirvana and spiritual experience. Please explain.

Dear all...this is an IMPORTANT POST FOR ALL STUDENTS AND PARENTS...(is there any one who is not a parent or student on this earth ever??...hi...hi...hi...!!!)

One question and one answer...

Question... You say that reading engg, science and management books will give enlightenment, nirvana and spiritual experience. Please explain.

Answer....All of us, from childhood, see schools as a ‘means’ to earn wealth and money. Not as a place which will show the path to live with happiness, good health, peace, contentment and success in life. We see teachers as paid employees and not as ‘Guru’s. We see books in the form of marks not as knowledge and wisdom.

How it happened?...When culture, life and living became materialistic, when we started comparing ourselves with others to gain acceptance, image, status, identity etc.

Our parents, school ‘owners’, corporates…every one sees that way…so we have also started seeing the same way.

We see lessons, chapters and exercises as marks and not as source of ‘life-light’.

When we read ‘dual property of electrons’, we see it as a potential 10 marks question. We don’t dissolve in it, wonder, appreciate, think in multiple directions, go into the wonderful universe of ‘particle physics’, ‘mechanics of these particles’…forget ourselves…forget our orientation…let people call us ‘gone case’…’loosu’…etc…and we come back to mother earth and listen to the call of mom ‘dei, vaa, vanthu dinner sappidu!’ and say ‘itho vanthutten maa!’ and eat. How many get these particles in dreams?...The vast universe in dreams?...equations in dreams?

we lose ourselves every day in tv serials, movies, talking with friends about heroes, heroines, politicians, politics...TALKING AND THINKING ABOUT OTHERS...NOT ABOUT US (HUMAN BEINGS IN GENERAL), OUR LIFE, OUR LIVING, THE NATURE AROUND US!!

How many times we have gone to the terrace top, looked at the stars, recollected what we read about astronomy, universe, stellar objects, the dynamics etc and wondered?...How many times we felt we are lost in the space?

Biology and related subjects of life sciences teach us all about the micros of inner bodies of living organisms. They take us inside the myriad universe of cells, chemicals, genes, protein structures, their role in behaviours, disease resistance, aging and what not!!...How many times we have got lost inside these gene structures?

Social sciences teach us about behaviours of individuals and groups, their dynamics, origin, cause, effect and what not!!

How many times we have related all these to our life, living, happiness, health, peace etc?

Engineering being the application of pure sciences, and technology being conversion of engineering principles into practical applications as processes, teach us about so many things around us which we can see and can not see. How many times we have lost ourselves thinking about these?

How many times we have sat down to disprove Newton or Einstein or Curie?

The high IQ students at MIT or Harward or Princeton do all the above which we don’t do, but still they don’t relate it to the life, happiness, peace, health etc. They also relate it to marks, admissions, jobs, money, wealth etc!!

Therefore, they also become great scientists, CEOs, Nobel Laureates, Professors etc, and become successful in life in their terms, but fail to get peace, health, contentment and happiness!!

Word over it is the same case!!

All these things we have to relate towards our life, living and the methods to keep our body, mind and relationships cool, calm, peaceful, healthy, happy, contented etc.

Psychology has got thousands of universe sized branches which talk about soo many things, scientifically, which will lead us towards the spiritual-meditative-enlightened-nirvana state of living and being successful in corporate living too while retaining all the positives like family, happiness, people, relationships, great health etc.

Of course, we have to read this subject also with a view to gain wisdom and not only marks, admissions, jobs, money and wealth.

Those who read sociology and psychology to make money and wealth get that. Those who read to gain wisdom get EVERYTHING!!

Some how we failed to understand that...

THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS BASED ON PRINCIPLES OF SCIENCE.

WE HAVE ONLY TWO FORMS –

1. PROVEN BY SCIENCE

2. IN THE PROCESS OF PROVING BY SCIENCE.

THAT IS ALL. IF WE CONSIDER AND BELIEVE THAT THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE AS A SYSTEM, OBEYS LAWS OF SCIENCE, THEN ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING HAPPENING INSIDE THIS SYSTEM ALSO CAN BE PROVED AND WILL GET PROVED ONE DAY.

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PEOPLE LAUGHING AT THESE STATEMENTS IN THIS UNIVERSE. SCIENCE WILL ALWAYS CONTINUE ITS JOURNEY TO SHUT THE LAUGHING MOUTHS THE WAY IT HAS BEEN DOING ALL THE TIME IN THE PAST AND PRESENT. THIS WILL BE AN ENDLESS CONTINUOUS PROCESS FOREVER.

AS WE FAILED TO UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE, WE FAILED TO SEE EVERY SUBJECT OR ASPECT OF LIFE ALSO A SAMPLE OF SCIENCE IN THE UNIVERSE.

WE ALWAYS CONSIDERED SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY ARE DIFFERENT, NOT RELATED, SEPARATE ETC. FOR GENERATIONS WE CONSIDERED SPIRITUALITY AS THE DOMAIN OF A GROUP OF BLESSED PEOPLE FROM HEAVENS OR NOT THE PART OF SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY.

THE MEDIEVAL PERIOD OF LEAVING LIFE AND LIVING TO RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY AND BEING THEIR SLAVE WILL REMAIN FOREVER TILL SUCH TIME WE BELIEVE THAT SCIENCE CAN NOT PROVE EVERYTHING FOR EVER, WE ARE SOAKED IN SUPERSTITIONS ETC…TILL SUCH TIME WE COME OUT OF THIS CLOUD AND START USING OUR COMMON SENSE, INTELLIGENCE AND LOGICAL THINKING TO RELATE ALL THE KNOWLEDGE TO SCIENCE, LIFE, LIVING, PEACE, HEALTH, HAPPINESS, RELATIONSHIPS ETC.

So, let us stop looking at books and lessons as 1 mark, 2 mark, 5 mark and 10 mark questions, college admissions, jobs, money, wealth, promotions, status, etc. Let us look at them as sources of peace, happiness, health, contentment etc.

If we do this, then we will get admissions in great world renowned colleges, jobs at great places, abundance of money, wealth, status, fame, identity, great image including health, happiness, peace, etc.

When a child is groomed for this then that child will become a combination of Einstein, Curie, Edison, Buddha, Jesus and all such people. Can you imagine the wisdom or power or life of that person?

If every one in this world is groomed like this, when the world is full of such people, can you imagine how this world will be?

Can you now understand what this world is missing or what we are missing?

All the spiritual or religious or political or scientists or professors or terrorist leaders or underworld dons are all people with great intelligence, wisdom etc. But they use it for what we have seen them to be using. They are only islands of excellence.

If only then break their barriers or domains or cages of their knowledge and wisdom, break their ego of superiority of their domain of knowledge or wisdom, read fundamental and applied sciences, engineering and management sciences, relate their knowledge to sciences, then the synergy that will be created will be phenomenal. They will no more be islands of excellence but oceans of unimaginable fusion knowledge and wisdom!!

For e.g If a spiritual leader learns sciences, engg and management also, he will become a CEO or Scientist of Excellence or Professor of great wisdom much much better than a normal CEO or Scientist or Professor. The vice versa is also true.

You might say that a spiritual leader does not require these three subjects and he is much more than that. But the issue is he may not require, but the world requires such people with excellence in spiritual knowledge and scientific knowledge to rule the educational and research institutions, corporate world etc.

peacefully yours...rams
