Dharma Ra Nyaya-1

 In no way I am writing with any certainty about these words or realities or whatever phenomena they are. But with quite a discussion with a learned friend of mine, clarity of thoughts seems to built within. However, from very surface reading and my own biases, Dharma and Nyaya have been same thing for me. Naya here is not a branch of philosophy rather justice in its strict sense. 

What is Nyaya?

In its day-to-day life, a decision by court of justice is itself justice. One can try to cry over and over yet in short run whatever a reason of court is will be justice. However, in truth, justice is related with what a pure human consciousness guide the human being as a justice is justice. Qualifying consciousness with purity may be a false attempt to define something undefined. Here, purity of reason can do good work. With hope , purity of reason coincide with one true reason by all human being. With a good wish, many have found to place great trust in universal reason or something like this. Can reason determine justice then? What is the comparing yardstick for justice? If Truth is that yardstick upon which reason is based and that reason guides the justice then Justice is the outcome of the Truth. 

However, when somebody hit me, to hit back is nothing but false hope of equality hence is not truth. Here, justice is not based on truth/dharma. Then, how can we say Justice is based on Truth. Since reason can achieve singularity only in Truth as it is the only constant thing/concept/reality, but justice can't run towards it. Whatever may be Justice but is surely not related with Truth/Dharma.

What is Dharma?

Yudhistir(Vyasa in Mahabharata) said Dharma is that which sustain and uphold the world. More lucrative one is from Chanakya, everything is moveable (challll) and dharma only is still (nischal). By combining these two formulas, Dharma is nothing but Truth. One can perform dharma only by knowing Truth itself. Anything other than Truth is Adharma. Ignorant(counting bookish as knowledgeable won't justify anything here as spiritual knowledge is blessing and hard earned jewel) men can't perform Karma that will be consistent with Dharma. 


It seems Nyaya is more about how we deal with others and in some cases how we fool ourselves too. Dharma is independent about these fooling around things. Every learned jurist seems (forgive me for writing like I have understood all jurist) to run towards Truth from Justice to seek base. 

Universal reason may not be the answer rather a universal oneness of that Ultimate declared by Upanishad which is one and same in all  and as declared by Vedas is in various forms and as romantic Puranas displayed it dancing in thousand forms is the answer. To preserve that by itself is Justice and that self is the Truth and is Dharma and is stable. By only through oneness doing anything against Dharma can be declared as Annya (Injustice) as Justice is dealing with others but others are merged in one self, hence Dharma can be applied here too.

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...
