Continuation....(part 1)
Can we study and put few concepts of economics in our life? How wonderful it will become.
Currently just running a race, accepting things in its very crude way. Just floating, without personalizing or internalizing.
Can Economics be studied through mythology and history?
Can Economics be studied and practice from Great Legends life - from all walks, all stature of life?
Let's go from near to far,
Inspired to core
I was inspired by few people and their life. Except very few, I never met them. Just read about that. Not in books of economics but in textbooks of our language course.
let me share about one person, one idea and my story.
It must be in 9th or 10th standard Gujarati, first language textbook of Maharashtra Board, year 2001. Interview of Ila Bhatt, gandhian, founder of SEWA.
What attracted me and I wanted to practice was idea of minimalism. How she had tried to live a whole month in very less amount. This idea used to run a lot. Always try to calculate things from this point.
It was after my Master, during almost every job interview. In final rounds, when they want to confirm and discuss about salary. My mind used to work on those minimalist life and how much money requires only considering Present.
Obviously, I used to get selected. May be because of this low demand of money. It has still continue but with lot much change and view.
This practice has continued till now.
One more story
How about checking your psychological (emotional and mental) state during following moments.
1- When you are at receiving end of big amount
2- When you are at receiving end of amount which is lesser than you expected
3- When you have to give something precious and near
4- When you have to give something at very low price.
Check.. this practice of reflecting, observing and introspection.
Last 4 years, I am reading and trying to put some elements of sacred economics (also known as gift economics).
I have found even though we want to offer it, mind is ready.. there are parts within, thoughts around which captivates. They are not yet fully ready, mind still calculates, heart still wants to cling. One needs to work internally. Need to find the root and solve from that level only.
Unwisely expectations are harmful for human life and world.
and for Divine life, one need to offer all ones expectation. Drop all expectation till the time, one offers all, is contented in whatever comes whether riches, diamond, palace or bowl, water and rice, tent.
There are many stories, which comes to my mind right now.
From mythology - whether its comparison between Goddess Laxmi and Goddess Saraswati or Goddess Laxmi with God Vishnu. Trying to find out who is big, powerful?
To the stories of saint poet - Kabir & His son Kamala, Narsinh Mehta
Stories of Pilgrimage, stories of Chachaji (Sri Surendra Nath Jauharji) and many more.
Stories of countries, innovators, Visionary and many more
Process
As I write this piece, I feel more connected & centered within.
Putting things in practice makes it more clear, base principal more strong.
One gains more understanding of core principal.
I feel a strong need to truly understand forces of money, Mahalaxmi. based upon our nature and aim, set down few principal. On which we can lead our life.
Deep Observation, bringing light to every corner.
Before writing, I had noted down few points and made an outline for the article. As i started writing, many changes, new and much refiner thoughts came in.
Most importantly, just following on few principal of sacred economics, I see a change.
Program which I wanted to offer in 2015 based upon gift economy and its failure.
To current programs, skepticism in 2018 is much lesser. More faith and less attachment.
Specially, when you are working in Education field.
Current Practice
One can not sale ones learning. I rather love to share them freely with all. I surrender to universe and offer all work at her feet.
