Better to be Jack of all than master of one

 1. Let us suppose that the objective of the human life (at least brain) is to seek and find the truth. Everything is from truth and everything rest on truth. Now, let us assume that 5 fields of knowledge get established in any society to achieve the maximum social welfare and also individual perfection. 

2. As the maximum social welfare is possible only upon getting truth established in the society or getting as near as possible, all field has equal value. Hence, chance of getting near truth is 1/5 or 20% in each field. 

3. Now assume that there is waste of time in learning any particular field, i.e. when desired by any individual or society, they can learn all fields or more than one fields. 

4. Suppose, X mastered one field say Physics, i.e. 99.99%(use 100% for calculation) of the available things get studied by X. Whereas, Y studied 2 fields say Physics and Law and mastered 80% of each field. Here X gets the objective fulfilled by 100%*20%=20% and Y does so by 80%*20%*2=32%. 

5. Hence, mastering one field is not appropriate for those who wish to Lead own life and especially that of country or society. (It is obvious that given unlimited time, it is better to master every field to get knowledge to reach the truth. )

Note:

Truth means that one ultimate truth by which everything else.

Averaging practice in stock market and Liquidity problem in Banking

Investors in equity market (secondary) are quite familiar with averaging practice of prices. When a stock of higher cost was already purchased but the prices drop down, then purchasing stocks at lower prices (must be probable to gain some increment in those latest prices) will average the per unit cost and given increment in latest prices but lower than previous prices till make loss over previously purchased stock lesser loss making. Now, thinking the institutional capacity of banks and financial institutions and production and distribution capacity of national economy, given flood of remittance, there must be a lag in mobilization of funds through banks. Thereby keeping interest rate at lower side till national economy's capacity to produce and distribute gets increased. However, let's imagine a scenario where funds are ever demanded and loans are distributed at higher cost. Deposit rates are increased in the name of liquidity problem or liquidity premium is so high that retu...

Hindu Jurisprudence- Smriti And some property law

I just don’t have the energy to write against the popular teaching (perhaps I have read the wrong books) that Hindu jurisprudence is contained within the Smriti, mainly the Manusmriti, and the property systems of the two schools — Mitakshara and Dayabhaga (I forget which region each school belongs to). But these are laws, not jurisprudence. I admit I do not know the subject of jurisprudence deeply — such a tragedy — but it seems to me these were laws made for the time and place according to the wisdom of the sages of that era. The Smriti writers themselves clearly said that the source of their understanding is the Veda. So, anyone who wants to understand exactly what truth Hindus hold must study the Vedas. Those who cannot may go through the Upanishads (major texts distilled by sages to teach the essence of the Jñāna part of the Veda). Those who still find that difficult may turn to the Mahabharata (which is in itself a “great battle” to understand), or they may study Mīmāṁsā, Nyāya-śā...

Usha

I bow down to mother Vindhyabasini/Brindabasini/Bindubasini whose grace and affection alone uplift unbearable pain of this life/ignorance. Nobody but Guru Gorakhnath is my Guru but am not that fortunate to get knowledge from himself. Neither read anything written by him.  During the discussion with few wise men it suddenly occurred or reiterate the already obtained knowledge of unreal nature of thoughts. However, this just helped to connect Usha with Savitur and once again ignite enthusiasm to write meaning of Gayatri Mantra. First line is dedicated to three kind of Jagat or realities excluding Om (which is not a wise thing to do but Om itself contains 3 Jagat and one last supreme reality so it is waste to discuss other line after explaining Om). First one is almost 16 hours a day i.e. waking state where we gather all information and act upon them. Second is dream state which is in its concrete form is 8 hours a day, unknown processing of information gathered during waking state. 3...
