Order in life..

I think human being has misunderstood the thing called "ORDER", for him order is particular to his life. For a politician safe guarding his power is order and for a scientist discovering about a particular issue is order and for most of us doing a job and taking care of our little family is order. As order is divided between you and me we are ending up with disorder in our lives. But see for nature it's a holistic thing it has to balance each and every particle of it. Taking care about ourselves is really necessary but the care that we take for ourselves can contribute to the whole of humanity. At least can we have a deep understanding that order is a holistic thing not fragmented thing? It seems from that understanding, comes the holistic action which can contribute to the peace in the world. If you understood that "you can not hurt others without hurting yourself" then your action or word will never hurt others, in this way you are contributing to the peace in the world. When you read news paper, watch television or observe in your day to day life try to realize how you and others are trying hard for something and thinking it is the order for all humanity.

Desire to accumulate

Have you ever observed that we live with a desire to accumulate; we want to accumulate money, property, popularity, pleasurable things...etc. Where does this desire come from or why there is this desire in life to accumulate more and more? Is not this desire the root behind all corruption? There is this deep hidden fear in us to be nobody, and this fear is the catalyst behind the process of accumulation. Unfortunately we don't know the utter beauty of being simple and to be anonymous. Please try to observe in you or in the society the consequences for the desire to accumulate, for example how a politician is trying to acquire land, money in corrupted ways. It doesn't mean you should not earn your livelihood or you should not have any property, but without the desire for more. If you observe without the desire for more or the desire for end result in mind, the mind is more energetic and more intelligent. This "more" is in many forms a country, actor, politician, student, employee, social organization trying to be No 1 is the form of more. My question is can't you work most effectively without the desire to be on the top position? And I think surely it is possible when you love what you are doing not when you are in love with only the end result.
