What we see & believe and what is the truth

1. We see and believe that whatever the media says is correct. But the truth behind is the media can divert the mind of the society in whatever way they want. It is being operated by a group of people who are operated by money.

2. We see and believe that the advertisements are focusing on the wellness of the society. But the truth behind is the focus of these corporate is to collapse the health of the society.

3. We see and believe that with good dresses and chappals we can lead a good life. Bu the truth is we need good food for a good life. So the focus has to be on agriculture and not on industries which pollute the earth and produce clothes and chappals.

4. We see and believe that the RO water we get is good for our health. But the truth is, it is very harmful for our health.

5. We see and believe that the A1 milk from the jersey cows is good for our health. But the truth behind is only A2 milk (from deshi cows) is good for our health and A1 milk is poisonous.

6. We see and believe that the investment on land through real estate makes the economy of the family and country better. But the truth is in the namve of investment, we are stopping agriculture and making the agriculture land to a waste land.

7. We see and believe the education system today is very good. But the truth is the focus is only making money and not giving knowledge. From childrens's uniforms and books to their degrees everything has a focus behind as making money.

8. We see and believe that the medical system and the hospitals are to save the people from diseases. But the truth is their focus is making more diseases and create regular customers.

9. We see and believe that the respect in the society is for the relevant people. But the truth is the teachers who create the future generation,soldiers who protect the nation and farmers who are like axle of the country are not being respected.

10. We see and believe that the system of selling is too good for us. But the truth is with the big shopping malls, we are forced to buy things which they sell. but the actual needs of us are not met and local community's productions are suppressed. 

The secret practice in upanishads and tantra

There are 18 Yogopanishads and all of them talk about Sohum meditation as an important meditation of salvation.

As per vedanta upanishads also union of "sah" (paramatma) and aham (jeevathma) is "sohum" which helps to reach the ultimate.

In Tantra 'sa' is the beejakshara of "Shakthi" and 'ha' is the beejakshara of "Shiva". So the union of Shakthi and Shiva is "Sohum". We can say this in science as the union of matter and energy.

As per all the darshanas and shastras including thantra, sohum is the ultimate meditation.

So do this practice daily.

Horrifying things to be noted today

Following are the important areas for a nation's growth. But all these things are going through a tough time. 

Agriculture is being destroyed (vyavasaya)
By various factors such as 100 days working scheme, industrialization,
Tasmac the work force is diverted.

No value is given for their products. 

The good agricultural lands are being sold as plots.

Dairy is diverted, (gaushala)
By destroying deshi cows, by promoting Jersey cows which causes many diseases and no quality output. Even the deshi cows give birth to jersey cows because no natural breeding is done. Injection given the veterinary hospitals are of Jersey cows only.  

Dairy system is a supporting system of agriculture which is going through a tough time.

Education system is exploited (Vidya)
High fees and no quality.
No respect to teachers.
Teachers are paid very low.
Too many unwanted colleges and no relevant work.
For the available work no qualified people.
Money can give degree.

Medical system is exploited (Vaidya)
Focuses on money.
Too many tests and no proper diagnosis.
No respect for the traditional medical systems such sidhha, Ayurveda etc.
Wrong treatments and death.
Many diseases to create regular customers.
No complete cure for any of the diseases.

Business is exploited (Vyapara)

Small industries are destroyed.
Lot of harmful to health, products are sold by big companies.
Money is the only focus and no focus on quality products.
No business ethics.
Workers are treated as slaves.
Small merchants cannot survive.

Defence system is exploited (Suraksha)
They are paid low. No respect.
Not even eligible for applying loans

Vyavasaya - gives quality food to get a healthy society, 

Vidya - gives quality education for a  good community, 

Vaidya - Helps to protect the health of the society,

Vyapara - Helps the good things to reach the people

Unless focus is given to improve the situation of these, growth of our nation will be a question mark for ever.
