[@chandansingh282]

Scince or technology can never be considered a holistic solution...when the IC engines would have been invented, no one could actually predict that there would come a time when the mankind would be forced to think of alternative solution so miserably. Even if Scince comes up with something today thinking it would solve the problem of Carbon emissions, 30-40 years down the line some different problem will crop up ...better lessen your consumption. NAMASKAR Acharya ji

Sacrifice is to give up the lower for the higher. You are sacrificing the lower in service of the higher. Do not consume that which will poison you, even if it appears attractive. You consume for a very horrible and false reason. There is a consumption that is needed for basic physical comfort and sustenance. And then there is a consumption that happens for entirely different psychological reasons.

आचार्य जी के जीवन से संबंधित मुझे एक प्रश्न का उत्तर अब तक नहीं मिल पा रहा है आचार्य जी ने एक वीडियो में तो स्पष्ट कर दिया है कि उन्होंने आईएएस ऑफिसर की जॉब क्यों छोड़ दी थी लेकिन उसके बाद जैसा उन्होंने बताया कि वह आईआईएम अहमदाबाद पढ़ने गए और वहां से पढ़कर निकलने के बाद और कॉरपोरेट सेक्टर में मैनेजर की पोस्ट पर जॉब कर रहे थे लेकिन मुझे यह समझ नहीं आता कि आचार्य जी ने इतने अच्छे कॉरपोरेट सेक्टर को क्यों छोड़ दिया आचार्य जी ने भी कभी इस कारण को स्पष्ट नहीं किया

[@user-rb1ri2tx5u]

क्योंकि जो आम संसारी को "इतने अच्छे" लगते हैं वही संतों को माया लगते हैं। अभी कॉरपोरेट सेक्टर में बहुत से लोग हैं जो काम कर रहे हैं और करते रहेंगे लेकिन,जो सबसे ज़रूरी काम है अभी इस धरती पर वो किसी किसी के मन में हीं आता है और उसपर काम करने को जमीन पर उतरते भी हैं। आचार्य जी उन्हीं संतों में से एक है। अगर आप में वो बात है तो जुड़े रहिए आचार्य जी से और वीडियो को जितना हो सके उतना शेयर करते रहिए बंधु।🙏
