The Middlemen

Often the middlemen do not let the farming and the cottage industries flourish. Since the small producers are always in desperate need of money, they sell their products to the middlemen who, taking the benefit of their needs, purchase the products at the lowest rate. These middlemen then create an atmosphere of shortage of such food, goods or material in the market by hoarding them and thus they ultimately succeed selling them at the highest possible rates. Finally, neither the small scale producers nor the consumer ever has a chance to take the benefit of a direct marketing. We need to discard Mandi Samiti practices and allow such mandi markets for farmers to sell their products directly to the consumers. This should be an additional option after the government purchase. In our Indian system, food products go to a consumer through a middleman. Most of the farmers face the want of basic capital to invest in producing their crops. Often, they manage to meet such requirements wit...

They say there is no God because if He has been, He would be visible to all. Just as we live in the sea of air, so do fishes in the sea of water. We are unable to see the air similarly fishes cannot see water. Now to see the air or water we need to see it from outside it. God is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. Since nothing can go outside Him, it is impossible for anyone to see him. Moreover, we still feel the presence of the air and what it does for us. We must think that the universe is not run by man or anything else. It still goes very systematically. We see mind behind all that happens in the world and something supernatural governing it. When we reach the age where we are able to reproduce ourselves, we are mad to do that. Who cares about the future world? Who is concerned about the thing we need for our survival? If it is not God who else? Before making a thing or a creature, God is mindful of the vacancy for them. He sets their minds accordingly and therefore the pe...

A lovely garden though we had, Sweet, sweet voices made us mad, Yet all was dark – oh, dark, dark, dark! But soon we tried all around us to mark. Grateful are we to our parents And grateful are we to our friends, But we know not how to say a thank To the man who filled us with the light vibrant. Spiritual pursuit leads to peace and thus makes your mind pure and healthy. It does not violate the laws of nature but makes your mind capable of achieving your goal because God operates everybody by their minds. So let’s spare a few moments for some spiritual cause – not because we want to escape our work and duties but because we have got to rest our tired and exhausted mind. Sadgurudev is the sun that spreads spiritual light in the universe of heart and mind. Well, the sun can brighten several planets but the darkness in the heart remains unless it is open to receive the celestial light of a Sadguru’s teachings. We are controlled by three layers of administration. The family hea...

मदारी

बचपन के दिनों में जब फसल तैयार हो जाय दोपहर के समय अचानक मेरे गाँव के कुत्ते भौकने लग जाएं ,   साथ में डमरू की तेज आवाज आने लग जाय | हम लोग घर से भागते हुये डमरू की आवाज की ओर दौडें और देखें कि एक मदारी या तो बंदर या भालू या कई जमूरों के साथ किसी के घर के सामने मैदान में बांसुरी के साथ डमरू बजा रहा और जमूरा ड्रम पीट रहा है | हम लोग बड़े चाव से उनके खेल देखें | अंत में मदारी जमूरे से बोले | बोल जमूरे , गाँव के लोग कैसे हैं ? वह चादर के अंदर से जवाब दे , गरीब | तो जमूरे तेरी रोटी का क्या होगा ? वो बोले , लगता है हमारा तो बस उपर वाला ही बचा है | ऐसा सुनकर गाँव के बच्चे ताव में आ जाएं और खूब सारा अनाज लाकर उसकी चादर के उपर ढेर कर दें | मदारी यही खेल हर गाँव में घूम घूम कर करे और शाम तक काफी धन बना ले |
