Thanks: For sharing this wonderful thought. A great way to start the day.
So true - Most of the world's problems today are because of "I", "My", "Our", "Us". They look for "local maxima" and that is what they get with narrow focus. The humbling realization of looking at things as a whole provides the "global maxima".
The theory of Five Elements signifies the same thing. We all come from and end up getting disintigrated to the Five Elements and become a part of this "whole". How does it matter who owns what piece of the land in the interim?
Om,
Hitesh.
