Sanskrit HOLISTIC LIFE Management

True wellness as result of holistic life is expressed by Gita 18.78.

Relax - Eternal Celebration of life calls - What are you waiting for?

Realising that You are already a free spirit already is Spirituality

  1. Futility of becoming and being.
  2. First take stock. Know who/what you already are.
  3. Will see what to do later, if the need be.
  4. What if you are already free?
  5. What if equally connected to almighty existence?
  6. Trying to be free when you are actually free is unnecessary mess.
  7. Sage Ashtavakra said to King Janaka. You are already free. To think that you are bound and make effort to be free is mere illusion.
  8. "In the Ashtavakra Gita, the sage Ashtavakra tells King Janaka "You are already free" to convey that Janaka's true nature is already pure consciousness, and any sense of bondage is a product of misunderstanding and attachment to the separate "I" or "person"."
  9. One cannot be what one is not.
  10. Futile to compare orange with apple. Both are perfect, incomparable and unique.
  11. You are already perfect creation of perfect creator.

Just Celebrate Existence!

  1. What matters is action. Reading books or discussion can be for mere celebration.
  2. There is no where to reach. We are already there. If someone in Dehradun says, or worries about reaching Dehradun, and makes effort to reach Dehradun then it's a matter of ignorance alone. Whole life he cannot reach Dehradun through whatever efforts, because one cannot reach again the same place being there already.
  3. Basic issue is that there is really nothing to do? Because creation has already done everything. Now the only engagement left for us is to share love in whatever form we can with the "so called" others, who in reality are mere extensions of our own selves.
  4. Therefore people's direct action programs such as Sanskrit MUKTAHAR and Waste Utilisation etc are great ways to celebrate life, generate value and share as love.

Write your own book of Life

  1. Document your fundamentals based on experience.
  2. Why not start with yourself?
  3. Everyone has own philosophy, though may not be so developed or articulated.
  4. Talk to yourself.
  5. Write your own philosophy, what is the sum total of your experience.
  6. Then match with what others have said for verification if you may like.
  7. Cross check with the books and people.
  8. Unless undigested by self experience, knowledge is mere information burden.
  9. Read one line, digest to the extent of internalization or being through experience in your natural time. Why hurry?
  10. Experience cannot be imported or copy pasted.
  11. Internalization matters. Once internalized one does not feel the presence. One feels the presence of other, not of self. As one does not feel the presence of mother tongue language. It becomes second nature. Similarly one should not feel the presence of knowledge.

Identify to Align with True Source

  1. If one directly follows the original source, that is nature, focuses on needs, then satisfaction, health and happiness follow. On the other hand, if one takes indirect approach of money, then one remains dissatisfied, unhealthy and unhappy always.
  2. Everything emerges from ASMITA or identity or who/what am I? Having settled in the true Self, one is automatically aligned with the existence that includes Nature. This leads to integration hence integrity. Focus remains inwards, Gita 5.21.
  3. Am I my motorcycle? I and mine are not same.
  4. Bulla ki jaanaa me koun?
  5. Having attained the ultimate bliss, the ultimate goal, journey of evolution culminates.
  6. Even on the so called physical, material or mundane plane, the focus is only on maintaining integrity alone, one must never focus or think about the ever uncertain result. Gita 5.12.
  7. Again on the plane of transactional reality of material body, one must only focus on maintaining the integrity in following the laws of nature, then health and happiness automatically follow, however if one explicitly aims for and thinks about the results, then one is bound by trappings of ever uncertain material world that includes body too.

Align with Nature

  1. Those who focus on money, neither get satisfied with money nor they have health and quality time to enjoy items money can buy.
  2. However, those who focus on natural needs, have health and enough quality time to enjoy simple natural joys of life, such as satisfaction from food, sleep, laughter, company of loved ones etc.

Natural need versus Artificial Demand :: Real versus Unreal

  1. Need is natural and objective, demand is unnatural and subjective.
  2. Needs can be fulfilled because they are natural, demands are never ending because they are rooted in ignorance.
  3. Thirst for water is natural, hence it is need. Desire for soft drinks is demand.
  4. Need can also not be over consumed. One cannot over drink water or over eat fruits.
  5. Whereas processed items, such as sweets can be over eaten.
  6. Fulfilment of needs gives satisfaction and good health. Craving for and trying to fulfill desires leads to craving for more and ultimately bad health.
  7. Life is a game of priorities.
  8. In this age of unnatural industrialization, people are moving away from nature and natural routine.
  9. One earns money because one invests work, based on health and time.
  10. However, it is irreversible in the sense that one cannot get back the same health by giving back all the money one has earned at the cost of health because the nature of work has become unnatural.

Natural Direct versus Indirect Market

  • Example of all animals and forms of life as they all live strictly according to nature.
  • My own example. I am also a valid living real person with ordinary frugal means.
  1. Focus only on natural needs.
  2. Focus on self. Not worried about car of neighbour.
  3. Realising that health is the most crucial natural asset, not artificial money.
  4. Quality time and quantity time is another asset that is natural and hence more valuable than unnatural man made money.
  5. Hence I don't have time to earn money!
  6. Time is most important asset. Through time one can earn money, but all money in the world can't buy a second.

For the truly materialistic

  1. If you are truly materialistic and want to fully enjoy the material pleasures, then the first and foremost requirement is perfect physical health because our bodies are the primary material assets and interface, only through them we enjoy the material pleasures of life.
  2. Without the power of electricity, even the costliest or most sophisticated machines are as good as dead. Similarly health is the natural power to enjoy all the material assets. Therefore health is the primary wealth.
  3. Money can't buy health. Healthy can earn money. Health is superior to money.
  4. Health is the natural outcome of healthy food and healthy daily routine.
  5. Annamaya kosha, pranmaya kosha, manomaya kosha, vigyanmaya kosha and anandmaya kosha.

Ways to celebrate life

Ways to Celebrate LIFE

What is your aim?

  1. Fulfillment of Natural Needs or Money for Demanding Pleasures?
  2. What is the aim of most of the people?
  3. They may say money for natural needs and pleasures.
  4. But hardly anyone has earned enough money or enjoyed pleasures to satisfaction.
  5. Why?

  8. But pleasure needs physical apparatus in the form of healthy body.
  9. Health is not available for money.

Invest in Self Purification : Invest in Waste for Value

  1. Strive for Self Purification as per Gita 5.11.
  2. Why not produce value directly?
  3. There is no waste except our inability to handle resource.
  4. Best is to invest in your own work. Why invest in markets, why invest in the work of others?
  5. Whole industries of the world on one side are generating waste only, to be utilised as free raw material for waste utilisation. Only cost is transportation of waste as input raw material.
  6. Just invest US$ 25 or INR 2k per month, it is more than sufficient amount for experimenting with generating value from waste.
  7. Various practical ideas are available on the Sanskrit Waste Matters page at https://sanskrit.org.in/wastematters/index.html.

  14. Fermentation matches your domain of expertise in biology and food.
  15. Millet fermentation is another huge unexplored topic. Dr Khadar Veli is an expert on Millets.

Sanskrit MUKTAHAR: Share Value as Love

  1. Muktahar is a matter of gift of love. There is no barter.

  5. This is a huge topic.
  6. Lime, anjeer and moringa etc have already shared with friends.
  7. This effort can be expanded to provide value to people and bring like minded people close.
  8. Sharing of homegrown lemon, is a perfect shining example of MUKTAHAR sharing with love. What if this sharing can be expanded, facilitated and leveraged through technical logistic management? That exactly is aimed by Sanskrit.
