Vedic goods and services…simple living high thinking.

The West appears out of balance , it’s got itself all caught up and entangled in its endless bid for pleasure , but solely centred around a temporary material body , an accepting and rejecting mind and a limited and deteriating intelligences,  as old age creeps up and takes everything away . Even their economic strategies based on producing unlimited goods from limited earthly resources are the workings of the unthinking.
Instead of living simply, with the clear objectives and realisations of a self-evident truth of shared resources and equality of rights Western people want to to increasingly exploit other countries and their citizens,  This Darwinian survival of the exploitative and the trickle down economics con is getting the world nowhere fast .
Western economics and world economics need rethinking.
Keeping everything small and  localised , goods and services should be produced locally and nationally, where possible, with local labour . Every country should depend on itself,  and not make itself dependent on other countries,  or on global conglomerates.  Essential trading, yes , but one man’s labour or a countries currency should be equalised.  By living lives based on a greater understanding of consciousness and higher culture of all sorts of natural sciences, the  potential for peace and natural happiness increases.  Do you know your Baker or farmer , or where your bread was baked or where the wheat came from ? The answer in 99.9 % of the time is NO .
That’s not the Vedic way .

The spiritual path..

What is relativity good for one person is bad for someone else , What is relativity bad for one person is relativity good for someone else .
Good .. bad …it’s all bad …because death , old age disease, and death awaits .We should place our energies  in dutiful ways but also within the wisdom of knowledge cultures. What is consciousness? That is the most important question,  never mind how much my bank balance is.
Come to the absolute plane, understand consciousness beyond the body , beyond material calculations for a material happiness ,  beyond mind, and senses, go beyond the intellectual platform , to the plane of the soul.
The great scholar Srila Sanatana Gosvami first question to Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu was, ” Why am I suffering and having to undergo all kinds of miserable and temporary conditions in a world of dualities ?
The Vedic way is to ask the right questions and seek the answers from those who know and to  understand how they know they know ..
