The Economics Of Inner Conservation
Economics is the science of wealth. It explains to us how to produce wealth, how to conserve what is duced, how it can be justly and equally rebutted and how to find new sources wealth. But we forget that this outer lth is created by our inner wealth. ce you have inner wealth in you, er wealth may come and go; even if it st, we can rebuild it. This inner wealth is the strength and lity of our mind. The mental vitality very one of us is slowly getting sipated. Newton's law says that hing can move without expenditure nervy. When thoughts flow from mind, a certain amount of mental gy is spent. Worry and anxiety are active thoughts that result in uneasy expenditure of mental wealth. There are two ways of facing a pro balm: the economic way of conserving your energy while facing the challenge, and the uneconomic way of spendinga lot of energy on a small problem. The science of values is the science of managing one's inner wealth. Thereby you are able to face challenges and problems and solve them with the minimum expenditure of mental energy. For example, I may be prone to hate people often. Even if I hate you, you will continue to eat and sleep well, because you do not know that I hate you. It is I who do not eat well! I waste a great deal of mental energy in planning how-to get rid of you, the victim of my hate. On the other hand, if unconditional love is my nature, you may hate me, but I will continue to love you. Even if you harm me, it will not affect me because of my love for you. There are certain values of life which reduce the expenditure and dissipation of energy guiding you efficiently to face your own problems-economic, industrial, professional or domestic. The healthier values of life are love, tenderness, mercy and goodness. Higher values of life are a healthy economic policy of conserving mental vitality so that there is a lot of mental energy at all times to plan intelligently and solve problems. There is no problem in the world that the quiet mind cannot solve, but if it gets agitated because of wrong values cultivated in the past, one feels helpless. Relegate them, and build new values of life. Make a success out of today's failures. Revolutionise your attitude to the world outside and totally reorient your life, To work on yourself is the highest art. You will then be able to not only face challengesin front of you, but also discover a lot of residual mental energy to plan for the future. Just because you are unable to face challenges, nature is not going to spareyou. In nature, what does not change faces extinction. If you (the educated, who have learnt the art of planning an achieving) change don't worry about the other things that will change in time. By changing your attitude to life,you can change the destiny of the entirnation. The future is yours. Make it or mar it by using the present, diligently working upon yourself not only in the outer world, but also in the thought patterns of your inner world.
