Perhaps, never before in the history of
mankind did the “bulk” of the people, become so much aware about
the concept of 'fuel efficiency'....
What ever the
reasons/compulsions-of-situation etc... (Let us not waste our fuel
thinking/exploring 'that' right now..!)
While we are at it... when that
'concept' is floating at the surface of our lives....
May be it is useful to 'get-across'
something through, into us, ... which otherwise doesn't make a
dent-even at the surface! (In that movie, “Independence Day”, the
earth-men-made missiles do not even dent the protective shield of
alien's spacecraft... until some virus gets uploaded and affords a 1
minute window or so! Here, this 'window' of
awareness-about-fuel-efficiency!)...
We have made a very good progress about
"fuel efficiency".....
Not just the researchers, scientists,
politicians, etc....
Common man, Aam/mango Aadmi has become
a little aware!
LED.. Bulbs, monitor,
Average per liter vehicles....
What about human Fuel-efficiency?
Where do we " expend"
most.... Our own mental energy?
Ancients started with "own"
fuel efficiency! (Farak zaroor pendaa hai!)
Well, what I 'saw' ...
During spiritual programs (the names
were simplistic, like art of living, effortless living, etc..)...
The teacher ensured that the
'fuel-efficiency' of about 99% of the participants goes up during the
one-to-two weeks of that program....
The sharing/feedback, etc at the tail
end of the program substantiates in their own words...
Then the drop out rate... it is almost
close to the same percentage... 95%... The 5% manage to stay-on
just for a few more years... Less than 1% remain en-grooved....!
One 'common' factor I found was, ...
those who 'happened' to stay-on, also
'happened' to find their own internal devices of that...
'fuel-efficiency' being improved a
little!
For spirituality to make a dent...
fuel efficiency is a must!
Efficiently yours,

Fuel efficiency ... Does it come from good health , thoughts as per nature or being true to self ? Does physical good health ensure good mental health too or good mental health ensures good physical well being ? Maybe both are two sides of the same coin ( human body ) . Interesting write up sir . How to ensure inner fuel efficiency at its best .
A society overly dependent on energy, which is sourced from outside, runs a grave risk of facing bankruptcy, anytime. It's more so, when the bulk of our energy source is sourced from very limited, nonrenewable source of energy.
And hence, never before the "need of fuel efficiency" been felt with such an intricacy.
Yet, there is a limit to the stretching further of everything...How can we call it a healthy society, which can not imbibe a self imposed austerity on it's energy dependence 'from outside'?
How can 'the need of it' be really felt when 'out-sourcing' has been the new value system which appeals everyone with it's mesmerising vibe!
Such a mindset can only wish away the alarming bell though it blares out from everywhere, incessantly, with a feverish pitch?
Yes Sir, as you have drawn a parallel, this crisis applies equally well to the phenomenon of the modern man's spirit !
How ironically, here too he sources his comfort, happiness, joy & what not, to renew, rejuvenate, recharge himself, with the necessary 'fuel', to further himself (or his-self ?) from outside (outing/night-out, what ever we may say it )!
But an over dependent, other-directed individual has to face the same fateful tragedy, for that is not the way to be in his basic-vibe.
Tuning to that very basic, returning to that very basis...that alone can make him revive!
How deftly & how delicately, our spiritual masters have threaded out the simple 'sutras' & the tools & techniques for perfectly/perennially/non-violently/symbiotically fuelling our own spirit !
And the real wonder of it is that, this perennial source of fuel is not sourced from out-side, but from the inner core of our own being, the light-of-soul...which is not only self illuminating but lights up & energises...every body else & everything !!
Thanks Sir, for igniting this good-morning feeling !
Good Morning & Pranam :)
Great!
To a great extent, you covered what I felt contained to omit for the sake of brevity!
But yes, "wanderer" Madam had already managed to take it out of me, though only through a private chat!
