					<description>Oh really!
It seems you have sufferred a brain damage by seeing untouchables and shudras getting education. In your fucking 'sacred books', the sudras should have molten glass poured in his ears if he hears a word of knowledge'. Since these people are now getting education you have gone mad and started writing '...buy reservation..sell reservation..bloddy..'

You should first improve your english ..it will help you..</description>

					<description>&lt;b&gt;The link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues.&lt;/b&gt; 

The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature. 

&lt;b&gt;Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment.&lt;/b&gt; 

Subject : In a fast society slow emotions become extinct. 
Subject : A thinking mind cannot feel. 
Subject : Scientific/ Industrial/ Financial thinking destroys the planet. 
Subject : Environment can never be saved as long as cities exist. 


Emotion is what we experience during gaps in our thinking. 

If there are no gaps there is no emotion. 

Today people are thinking all the time and are mistaking thought (words/ language) for emotion. 


When society switches-over from physical work (agriculture) to mental work (scientific/ industrial/ financial/ fast visuals/ fast words ) the speed of thinking keeps on accelerating and the gaps between thinking go on decreasing. 

There comes a time when there are almost no gaps. 

People become incapable of experiencing/ tolerating gaps. 

Emotion ends. 

Man becomes machine. 



A society that speeds up mentally experiences every mental slowing-down as Depression / Anxiety. 

A ( travelling )society that speeds up physically experiences every physical slowing-down as Depression / Anxiety. 

A society that entertains itself daily experiences every non-entertaining moment as Depression / Anxiety. 



FAST VISUALS /WORDS MAKE SLOW EMOTIONS EXTINCT. 

SCIENTIFIC /INDUSTRIAL /FINANCIAL THINKING DESTROYS EMOTIONAL CIRCUITS. 

A FAST (LARGE) SOCIETY CANNOT FEEL PAIN / REMORSE / EMPATHY. 

A FAST (LARGE) SOCIETY WILL ALWAYS BE CRUEL TO ANIMALS/ TREES/ AIR/ WATER/ LAND AND TO ITSELF.

					<description>MAY BE THE FUTURE IS LIKE THIS:-

Sun is rising as usual in the east. Im standing here outside the school,waiting for my 10 yr kid. He studies in
class 2. Only this year he could get admission into the school. For the last5 yrs, admissions were closed for the general category students.

School bell rings. I can see a lot of happy children
coming out of the gate, i waited for half an hour and my kid came at last after other children. Genaral students are not allowed to cross the gate unless other OBC/SC/ST students have crossed the gates.
OBC/SC/ST fathers drive away their children in classy cars. But i hv to walk back home with my kid a 5km stretch.
I lost my car some years back when Govt. came with a rule that general people have to deposit a tax equal to cost of their cars. Failing which I had to sell the car.
As far as buses are concerned, the seats in buses are reserved for OBC/SC/ST. So no place there also.

After walking some 5km in scorching heat i finally reached home. It was wednesday ... shit , no electricity. Every mon,wed,thu,sat is power cut in the houses of General category population .So that SC/ST/OBC can be uplifted by
providing them with every opportunity and in that consideration electricity is an important factor. Its 10:00 pm in night no electricity at home. Its very hot inside the
four walls of home .So i dare to step out in park with my wife and kid.I seated myself with my family on a secluded bench in garden.
It was hardly 5 min ... a guard came to us strolling in the park. He asked me what caste you belong to.
I said with some hesitation .. G..General.He asked me to pay a fine of Rs.200 and get out of the park.
My Fault... The bench i was sitting on was meant for again the SC/ST/OBC. For their upliftment, peace of mind is an essential things. So govt came with this decision to reserve benches for them.Kudos to them...

Its early in the morning ...the newspaper wala just knocked the door. I took the newspaper and started reading ..,its independence day . i never used to forget this days some 20 yrs back. My kid hardly knows wat 15th august is,because i never told him any stories of greatness of our country or
anything realted to country.I don't feel like telling him the failures after freedom.

On front page of newspaper, in a corner their is a news about a OBC member getting 6 months impriosonment in &quot;BAL SUDHAR GRAHA&quot; from a juvenile court for murdering and raping a six year old girl. Yes the rules have been
amended ,since the last 5 years.The Culprit was a 25 year old OBC so age relaxation was provided for trial of crime.So he was taken to juvenile court, since there is an age relaxation for OBC/SC/ST.
About 11 am some one gave me the BAD news about demise of
one of my neighbour and friend Mr.Mehta. I went to his house for condolence next day,his body was lying there still rotting in the heat.I asked his son about the Cremation .His son told me &quot; Many reserved category have died yesterday so we are not getting entry to creamtion ground &quot;.
This rule is the latest from Govt.Where the seats in creamtion ground will be reserved for SC/ST/OBC for their upliftment. Finally next day Mehta ji was creamted.i could see the sun setting through the Flames burning a libarated Body, liberated from caste n creed. I was
surprised sun still sets in the west.?
it was about 9 pm , i was about to sleep in my bed my son came to me with innocence in his eyes , inquisitively he asked me the question:&quot;what is reservation?&quot;
I asked me where u listened that . he suddenly burst in tears .. i asked him to keep..quiet But i could listen through his sobs &quot;mujhe bhi reservation chahiye&quot;.
How can i convince him its no other toy in the market i can get for him?
He kept cryin that night ,claiming many of &quot;his classmates have got reservation&quot;.
To make him quiet I said ok ,i'll buy you reservation at your next B'day. HOPE he understands the bloody concept soon .

					<description>I agree -- it's a bit reductive to say that gandhi was awful for India/pakistan relations (or for india) because he helped create pakistan.  That's not the only role he had...and as you mentioned, if the country and the people in power listened to his ideas of living simply and educating, etc, india would be in a very different place now.

I also love the idea of community living as you read in the Life Positive magazine.  I hope to live like that soon, as i settle down.  

Lastly -- have you heard of the idea of &quot;Permaculture?&quot;  look it up (and i'll forward you some info too), i think it will really resonate with you.

(and great blog!  so good to see your ideas in words that i can miles away in the U.S.)

					<description>This post is absolutely wonderful.  I believe exactly what you're saying, about spirituality.  I think even hinduism has become in many ways, &quot;we are the only way&quot;, in some of its evolution to &quot;organized religion&quot;.  But i agree that hinduism has a very different starting point for exclusivity, etc than christianity, islam, etc.  

It's true, that we must become more spiritual as a people, instead of leaning on a religion to tell us what to do.  Your post reminded me that spirituality is really about EMPOWERMENT, and that we can change the world if we embrace spirituality more.</description>

					<description>Quite an outburst that. Not unlikely for us who have been fed on modern (western) concepts of development. It is important to live a more cheerful and fulfilling life-physically, spiritually, socially. This could be the guiding priciple for our economics, politics, et al. Coming from this perspective Gandhi appears to be simple yet accomplished 'liver of life'. He looked for his messages in birds, animals and trees, indeed nature all around - which he refers to being a puppet in the hands of the almighty. 

Today is not what it is to live - our souls are mangled in blaring horns, quarrelsome relations, troubled interactions, unrewarding daily chores and an unfulfilling (dissatisfied) work. 

We are spending life to earn a living...
