STRESS AND THE THIRD EYE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Yesterday; I saw a TV program of discussion on the merits and demerits of competition in general; and the competition amongst the students in particular. The competition was blamed for the suicides amongst the students.

From above example; our peripheral, superficial, piecemeal and ad hoc approach; on a variety of problems become clear!

Thus;
For health problems; our solution is; more hospital buildings.

For lack of education; our solution is licensing more institutions and greater use of learning aids and stationary.

For beggars on the road our solution is; anti�begging law.

For traffic jam our solution is; a flyover bridge.

For unemployment; our solution is payment to unemployed people.

For suicides of farmers; our solution is subsidy package.

For price rise; our solution is import.

For socioeconomic backwardness; our solution is reservation policy.

For increase in crimes; our solution is increasing the number of police.

For the growing injustice; our solution is increasing laws.

For lack of progress; our solution is more foreign investment.

For shortage of electricity; our solution is load shedding.

For road accidents; our solution is compulsion of helmets.

For shortage fuel; our solution is sermons to reduce fuel consumption.

We can cite hundreds of examples to show how we work brilliantly and artistically; but with a superficial, petty, individualistic, fragmented, sectarian and divisive perspective; rendering our solution; ineffective and/or counterproductive!

This would continue unless we open the third eye of holistic perspective and go to the roots of the problems; by practicing the time tested ways of self realization; such as NAMASMARAN.
