Innovation
and Change: Everything
around us is in state of flux. “You cannot step twice into the
same river” Yesterday’s pens and typewriters give way to today’s
computers, and we don’t know what today’s computers will pave
the way for in the future. This change around us also demands change
within us. We have a new world that is evolving and the new world
comes with new challenges. We need to adapt ourselves to these
changes by being creative. Scientists tell us how the huge dinosaurs
could not survive because they could not adapt to changes in the
environment around them. We need to constantly reinvent ourselves to
survive even in our daily lives. The mind is a repository of the
past events, it reminds us to do the same thing over and over again.
When we are connected to the Consciousness, we get new ideas; we
become creative and can innovate intelligently. UI World Vision 2030
aims at bringing about this innovation and change in our personal
lives.
Pollution
and Wild Life:
In a world where the mind is dominant we have a giant problem of
pollution to deal with. It is greatly summed up in these lines by
John Drinkwater: When
you defile the pleasant streams/ And the wild bird’s abiding
place/ You massacre a million dreams/ And cast your spittle in God’s
face.
We regularly hear about a Ship tanker carrying oil, goes down in the
sea casting millions of gallons of oil in the sea water, causing
danger to life. We are fresh with the memories of the Bhopal Gas
Tragedy here in India. All these examples mentioned are some of the
causes of the universe which is run by the dominant mind. In our
selfishness, we never think twice before we destroy the environment.
UI World Vision 2030 will help us to reconnect to our real selves.
It will remind us what Gandhi said, “There
is sufficiency in the world for man’s need but not for man’s
greed.”
