Great ! The palms of the HANDS( willing-doing-action)come together in a NAMASTE as a balance between the HEAD( thinking- gyan yoga) and the HEART(feeling- bhakti yoga)-ensuring balanced actions/deeds /karma yoga. The education system has created the problems of
-the disease of specialisation and
- the analysis paralysis
The famous book' what they do not teach at Harvard ' tried to tell you to let the warmth of the feeling, loving HEART partcipate in the decison-making process, by moderating, diluting the cold logic of the HEAD.
We let the silly,feeling HEART decide when we TAKE, BUT we let the smart,calculating HEAD decide when we have to GIVE.Is this selfish cunningness not the cause of reckless consumerism that has led to economic recession and global warming ? Oikos(home)logos(study)is Ecology and Oikos(home)nomos(rules of household). Once you study your home- earth, you frame the rules to manage it sustainably. Such a society is 'Religious '! Religare means to ' bind back to the Original Wholesomeness.
So, the extremes of Theism/Atheism,Communism /Capitalism are not Profit/Prophet making propositions!Situation-specific solutions emerge by avoiding external ' isms'.
