4 Men in This Global Village - Prashant Sharma - Bog

Is it the phalanx of lust or bondage with the material objects & the actions or karma of one that obstructs an individual from crusading towards the path of liberation?The 4 men in this global village depicted through the WIND MODEL of human qualities offer the shortest dependable philosophy of individual's mind based upon the 3 gunas viz. SAATVIK, RAJSIK and TAMSIK, and accordingly there exist 4 kinds of men in this world or the global village. The action performed by one in order to attain something or towards the attainment of anything is known as karma, while the Dharma of an individual refers to the righteousness in the overall character or personality or perception of an individual which is purely dependent upon his intentions and objectives. The Bahgwad Gita and teachings of Lord Krishna provides immense inspiration for every individual to act in a righteous manner for the benefit of this world without expecting any fruitive results for the acts or work done because nothing in this world is permanent and death is the ultimate truth and therefore, one's actions should be devoid of any material desire. Such a thought process enables one to be liberated from all forms of attachment with this materialistic world, so that dharma or righteousness may be established in this Global Village.The concept of 4 Men originated in my mind from the concept of 3 gunas which has been dealt with in details in this book. These gunas are the traits of an individual and are prevalent in every human irrespective of his ethnicity, sex, color, race etc. and also leaves a question mark in the minds of every individual for the identification of his/her qualities based on such gunas. Further the elaboration about the need for deviation of WIND towards harmonization of material & spiritual development of individuals is also elaborated which is the utmost need of an hour if the righteousness and prosperity of this Global Village is to be enhanced.
