Land: Mother and the Problem of Economy

(these xyz are based on my limited understanding and reading, often I write to document what I am currently thinking without any literature review and other systematic process)

We can assume that the utility theory is the departure point, where old economist mostly of eastern side were left behind by western thinkers. In all ancient text and society, land is seen as the almost sacred along with air, water, fire, thunder storm, sun, moon, planets etc. (we are not going to discuss deep spiritual significance of such practices which are mostly hidden from day-to-day pundits and layman). However, we human need to focus on what is useful for our body (cheaply pleasure) and what is harmful (cheaply pain), than revering everything around. It may sound totally selfish approach to life, however in reality with knowledge or without we were always doing the same.
However, any human activity to add utility is unable to add productive power. There may be productivity in human activity but they are not capable of production. Nature in itself is productive. She is mother, she is the one who produce, even without human she can sustain lives. With time her children adopt to herself and continue the cycle. Sometime, I feel human is the weakest of her children. Sole, purpose of developing human as a sensitive children most be to show her children that she is amazing and has produced may thing but they(other than human) are not feeling the greatness (or may be they never told me in person how they feel).
Beauty of Mother Earth is her land, (also water and air but human primarily live on land hence I am limiting the discussion). She allow everything to grow and die and again born and grow and cycle. She is full with x y and z that human is trying to add utility over. Without her x y and z, no utility could be added. 
Main problem of economy however, emerges when her wise child behave like the monster and desire to control over her. In the name of system and abc they in their limited understanding start to think they are the owner of her. I don't think any rationale man can say I own my Mother, in fact nothing cane be owned. we have proof that ancient society claim to own wives and sons, nothing to say about how they in their stupidity owned slaves. They often tried hard to fight with nature. No beings come here without her permission, and she has implanted death with birth, if you will not survive she will take you away, I don't know with whom they wanted to fight. Its true natural phenomenon will disrupt anything and we have to be safe from such things, but it is our inability to survive and not her cruelty. 
Efficiency in uses of this nourishing land is thought to be solved by ownership thing. however, nobody is ever happy with this, and no efficiency seems to cultivate from this land ownership. however, security is absolutely inherent in ownership of land, and those where were deprived of ownership always fight in the name of equality etc etc. However, problem is always of land, as she is the one who is with productive resources. Other utility addition is necessary for survival. however, whomsoever control some crucial utility like medicine, they control the land and deprive others even offsprings of their limited land and left in labor alone. 
utility when controlled become the ownership, and that of land become the political power, and that power is used in cycle to add more ownership without thinking of utility in general for human kind and in large scale of mother herself for sustaining lives. 
As long as we are in the form of human with these humanly needs, our pleasures stream from Land herself, and struggle to get her will always be their as long as ownership (in individual form or in the form belonging to a particular society or country) will be there. 
There is a beautiful hymn in Upanishad (may be Isha or Kena), "you own nothing and don't covet over other's wealth) simply that other is mother/divine mother and human or other children of hers are given food enough to survive, even death has been gifted in case of inability to survive. Even, knowledge and ability to get access to that knowledge has been provided. This lust for control is amazing and is the beginning of problem in politics. We often confuse, political problem with economic problems, and try harder to solve political problem with economic research.

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...
