PART AND THE WHOLE


Bread is eaten in slices whereas the Roti is a whole thing.Allopathy treats our body parts differently..headache a tablet..stomach ache..different tablet, But Ayurveda treats holistically.English,science,social science etc. subjects created by the western education whereas one Guru taught all the disciplines and it was inter-disciplinary in nature in India. One cloth is worn by Indians..British brought Pant, shirt, cap, inner wear, soaks, hanky etc.One big room was the home of our ancient Indians, now see the western engineering.Thats why the Divide and Rule policy.You can add lot of examples!

Parts are important in the western culture, but the whole in ours.This is ingrained in our psyche, that’s why we can’t think like the westerner and they can’t think like us.There is a big gap in the thinking process. The holy books are best understood by the Asians than any other communities.
We are emotional(Jo biwi se kare pyaar wo prestige se kaise kare inkaar!)they are analytical..Car is more important than her husband(a TV ad from US!).The way we are brought up and taught(leave the moder n education.)makes us more Indian .The urban sandwiched between western thought and Indian culture, that’s why lot of chaos!

Concentrating on parts can bring material benefites,but the holistic approach to life leads to happiness and spiritual enlightenment.
