I was at my office and a lady walked in, started her story of how she came to Bangalore with her children and husband and, how she is staying at the railway station, and needed some money. She trying to play the emotional victim, threw at me a list of people who have given her 100,200 rs each. I just asked her one question, what have you done in the last 4 days to find a place/job to work? She tried to reinstate her community card and I was adamant at the question. All the drama stopped, she took her piece of paper and walked out with sense of anger. I continued to do my work.
You drive to a signal and there's a man dressed in a saree trying to molest you and take some money. Alright in Sanskrit I learnt Puling (male), striling (female) and napunsakling, it is very clear that our ancestors knew that its alright, there was no need to negate or promote it. But now, for what it seems(at least 80% of the cases) is that, it's a very easy way to earn money and moreover on what basis do you have the right to touch me without my permission?

We live in a world where economics is at the forefront of everything , not just because of greed but maybe also because what can money can do only money can.
Yet what is intriguing is that, though people realise this, deep down they also expect money to shower down like water(that is also scarce nowadays).
Is it possible to get anything in this world for free, even if someone is giving you free food, someone is probably paying for it, or maybe someone is putting in their labour towards it. Where does the idea to just sit back and relax come from?
There was a time when in south Indian temple's there would be people who would just eat 2 times and not do anything, the temple administration would also give them a monthly salary, why? Because at least there were people who were capable of not doing anything, by that it means you at least are not creating further trouble and drama in other people's life. Are any of us capable of it? The British like always, thought that it was a waste of resource and stopped it.
Yet coming back to our point is it possible for anyone to live a life like this?

We are in a state that only if you a do a million dollar research and prove your point, then the world will value you and listen to you, if someone just sits down in meditation , engages in life in a way that is beyond normal comprehension, and says something, that's of less value? Sad, but that is how the world is, unless you market yourself in today's world, unless you show what your true value is, it's difficult for people to recognise you, and if you are too straight forward in just getting to the point, not beating around the bush, the world is uncomfortable with you. Well it takes tremendous understanding to balance the two and put forward something in a way that people understand, above all you need competency and dynamism.
Sadhguru after the Rally for Rivers awareness campaign, has launched Cauvery Calling, Action for revitalisation of our soil and river through Agroforestry in the Cauvery belt over a period of 12 years. An average price of ₹42 has been estimated to facilitate the farmers to start Agroforestry, which might take a few years to bear results.
You can contribute and be part of it in either in monetary terms, or by spreading the word, or growing trees, whichever way is possible!

P. S. Most of what I write is an offshoot from what I understand from the talks of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev and Sri Guru Rohit Arya.
