Jagat Mithya, Bramha Satya

 Upanishad (Mandukya etc.) primarily divided reality into 4 divisions without confusing with lokaa. 

1 Jagriti

Waking state where experience we perceive by sensory organs take place. Also, if we divide the total life per day into 3 equal 8 hours then 2 part every day falls in this part. Anyone's 2/3 life is spent in this state. Also, physical realities or interaction with matter take place in this state due to physical activity. Here, jagriti is experience related reality rather than physical reality of the universe. 

2 Swapna

In absence of access to Suspti or Turiya, repetition of what has been perceived in Jagriti state. Also, ones desire etc roam around in this state. One need not be in sleep, though during sleep this state is prominent and hence in our vague approximation 1/3 of life is spent in this state. Though all mental activities or replication of past experiences is dream. Which is not present experience nor experience at all but the remembrance of something happened or wished to happen.

3 Susupti

This one is absence of 1 and 2. It can be termed as Sunya. One can confuse this with highest as nothing exist here or due to inability to recollect any activity as in 1 or 2, it can be thought of as ultimate. Since, this state is also perceived by something else it can not be the highest. Neither senses of 1, nor mind of 2 can access it. Only pure observer takes account of it.

4 Turiya

Highest or the observer who can account 1,2 and 3 simultaneously and yet unattached to any one of those states. This is the Bramha. 

why 4 alone is reality?

So explained by Adi Guru Shanakaracharya (as much as I understand), since all 1,2 and 3 does not have beginning or an end, it is fictional. All these 3 Jagat are therefore Mithya or unreal. Unreal not by experience but by their relative position from 4. Since, 4 originate 1,2,3 and some even extend all matter too originate by 4 (still I am not sure about it) but it is true all these experiences are originate from something other than 1,2 and 3. Very much  observable at time of birth and death, something came experienced and be gone. But who is this real, who experience essence of lives in these 3 states. May be by same logic it must originated matter for its experience. Thereby becoming the Sadhan, Sadhana, Sadhak  nothing but one Sadhya.

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...
