Building Indra or Socrates for Knowledge Discovery

 May God forgive me for writing about something I am not well equipped for. But it is how they said, perform Yanja (Yagya), give up something you hold and move forward, that is how you will acquire knowledge, power, wealth or skills. 

Let us build our own Socrates to search for knowledge. My Socrates will do following for me to discover knowledge:

1. First he/she will examine within, the knowledge database of own

2. Reexamine the self belief by being overly critical for internal inconsistency and with reference to external new information acquired

3. this external reference will be acquired in the form of dialogue with someone who are able to talk in the subject

4. by engaging step by step construction and demolition of ideas with that of collaborator of the dialogue help to destroy accumulated belief. 

5. finally the truth for the time reached (i.e. until some other contradictory evidence surfaced) 


Let us build God Indra to win over knowledge (for kings win, accidental acquisition is not sufficient):

1. Indra equipped with thunderbolt to hit over cloud holding back water or raindrop should be invited to perform heroic deeds.

2. As knowledge is associated with River Saraswati (for ref. Ila is associated with Wisdom of thousand winters), i.e. knowledge flows in the form of liquid and in the form of water, it must be reproduced from heaven (i.e. sky) which clouds hold.

3. Indra hit those clouds by his own might and also by coordinating efforts of other heavenly Gods (male functions, Goddesses are reserved for Motherly functions), and the cows ( I forget where these cows are being refered) are freed up thereby enabling Saraswati to flow.  

4. In God Indra Model, Knowledge is freed by forceful measure and there are parts of Yanja that must be performed to reach the Truth. 

5. Unlike Socratic method, this method is based on assumption that truth is there, only it needs to be discovered with lots of effort and can not be left for internal consistency alone. Socratic method can lead to self pleasing consistency and often voting majority limit it offers. 


It seems Indra Model is not sufficient in isolation. Whatever be whatever, this is a way forward to prove that Vedas are not ultimate knowledge of physical or spiritual reality, rather it is the book that guides discovery of such realities.

Sustainable development of Life

 XYZ whatever be the technicalities of a life process, the origin is, as I am convinced at this point of time, nothing but wish of Nature or who create the nature. The sole purpose of life is to consume itself. Consume is really the worst word in this context. Let me say to observe the beauty of itself by itself. Hence, we are designed in such a way with such and such purposes by the ultimate guiding truth which is ever full of knowledge of all kind. It can do anything (proof: various form of lives), it is evolved or it is ordained by truth can be a debate. Base of life is nature or life (especially human) struggle with nature to evolve itself. First one provide possibilities of re-creation of more sophisticated or more adaptable life suitable to the nature at that point of time, second is more egoist approach to life and claim nature as nothing but inert objects which are subject to enjoyment or preservation for enjoyment in future (as now discussed in the name of sustainable deve...

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...

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...
