REASONING - MOST POWERFUL TOOL
Saturday 22nd, March 2008
Dear friends

The most powerful tool in this world is reasoning and we are not using it to make our lives more meaning ful and satisfactory than at present. We are being guided, motivated, inspired and dictated by the money we earn. Is money so important. Money can make many things but not everything. Please look at the following to have a view of what money can make and what it cant make:

Money can get you best of the comforts but not peace of mind.

Money can get you the best of the foods but not the hunger.

Money can get you the best of the hospitals but not the health.

Money can get you the best of the beds but not sleep.

Money can get you the best of the servants but not their faith in you.

If we look at various things what money can do it is an endless list. But we are all after money indiscriminately. In our pursuit for money are we not polluting water, air, food and nature?

What best we are doing repeatedly is we are creating problems for ourselves and we are solving the problems we have created for ourselves and we are thinking that we have acheived a great thing in life. The most surprising thing is that even the united nations and the wolrld bank are doing the same thing and advocating the same thing and promoting the same thing.

When climate change is happening, entire world witnessed silently and now they are complaining about the heat on the planet earth and now they have come out with carbon credits. Carbon credits is the latest exciting thing in this world. Again the world bank and the united nations is trying to lure the countries with money in the form of Carbon Credits. When we are all witness to the happenings around us and knowing well that what all we are doing is bad or potentially bad are we not committing a crime that too an unpardonable crime. However the powers that where be are having the final say.

MY DEAR FRIENDS ALL OVER THE WORLD think, think and think

Think differently and remember that our thoughts have to power to change the world and the world order. Start thinking my dear friends think of creating a better world for our future generations.

Dont live for yourself. Because your life is getting shorter by each passing day. If at all there is any life it is only for your future generations and our future generations. Keep this in mind and work for the welfare of everyone.

AFTER ALL " Sub-ordination of individual interest for the welfare of the common good " is the time tested concept for the people to live, cherish, prosper for years, decades, centuries and millenniums. Let us all prosper with prosperty consciousness but not poverty consciousness as is happening today. At last i request you all to come out with your thoughts. Thoughts lead to actions, actions lead to votes and votes lead to powers and powers do the things as you think. Have powerful thoughts for powerful life filled with happiness and peace.

friendly yours

Madhusudan Mannava

Very good; only if we were to live by the rules of the nature there will be much less problems. We have trained the animals, but we have and are neglecting our own training.."Dogs have been trained not to bark, but the human beings are not trained to use the restraint"..

Hi Sir,

The article inspires to think and act having concern for welfare of human's life. First of all we have to realise that all of us are human beings. We are here to make miracles. Being human it's everyone's basic responsibility to do the best for future generation that one can. Thank you very much for sharing this good precaution, inspiration and concern.

Thanks a lot.

As for example, say, in a country, there are only 100 school students, and that is the only population living including their families in that country (I said for example, teachers are some of their parents). Why school students that I have taken for example ? Here comes my part of reasoning, since these lots are "getting right amount of education towards living in terms". Amazingly, go scrutinizing about these pupil their background, nonetheless to say, there are christian, muslim, hindu, jain, buddhist, again, black, fair complexion, yet there are well to do students than yet another in terms of MONEY, TALENT then some girls and some are boys.

When in school, for identification, there are only UNIFORMS.

This school is a an unique one, in the sense that from here on all these PROLIFERATION that we are going to see from now on.......

What "Best of the Best possibilities" that we can THINK OF for TEACHERS, PARENTS, STUDENTS to have a WORLD IN HAND FOR EACH OTHER TO SHARE WITH ???

HERE WE NEED OUR BEST OF RATIONALIZATION IN REASONING !

Remember these 100 STUDENTS going to proliferate..........!

Caution!!! Any deviation on any educational stand and we see as we see for !

Thank You for your article on REASONING.

Wonderful article. I have been reading your articles which are all thought-provoking and very well written. We are all running after money in one way or the other as money has become a necessary evil. But we do need to stop and look back at some point and be useful to the society where we are living.

Dear Madhusudan

I must say that you have penned down your expressions very beautifully. reasoning, no doubt is the most powerful tool, but it is the rational mind that draws us towards money. Few days before I read few very good lines that...intuitive mind is God gifted and rational mind is our servant...but we have created such a society which honours the servant and forgets the gift!

Dear Madhusudan Mannava,
I found the writeup quite interesting. I do want to share my piece of mind by voicing a few things that need to be thought of deeply rather than shallow thinking.

Yes money has its own power and beauty, provided it is used as a tool. A tool can be a very good instrument if it is in the proper hands. It can make wonders and also destroy wonders. So basically it is not the money that needs to be given a second look but, attitude in which the person or organisation or institute where the money is.

What can a mind that has been conditioned by the society do? It does what it feels/has been made to feel right. BTW these various kinds of people all over the world will be around everywhere to create this havoc and play spoilsport in the day to day activities. One may think about prosperity but it will still remain a dream, because one comes along to push it up and another to pull it down. These rollercoaster rides do happen.

Somewhere some individual with a great devotion towards the existence who can power the thoughts of surrounding will be able to create the required difference in our lives. So long these vagaries will exist inspite of many like us who keep voicing our concerns in places like these.

Regards
Satish
