IN & OUT ( Agamum – puramum )

IN & OUT ( Agamum – puramum ) A short story but with great meaning : Once there was an old man earning his living cutting trees near the woods in the nearby forest. He could not make his ends meet with this work Once a hermit passed by and this old man explained his tough livelihood to him. He said “ GO INSIDE “ and went away Old man instead of cutting trees on the periphery of forest , went inside the forest and was astonished to find SANDAL trees and his earnings rose gradually and so his life Some time later, the same hermit passed by again to find the oldman in a better position Again too , he uttered “ GO INSIDE “ and passed away Same way , old man again went deep inside the forest and found TEAK wood and was very happy and his life standard rose to unbelievable and unimaginable heights Same is the case with every individual as this old man All human beings with their 5 senses and mind use them only in the EXTERNAL NATURE of WORLD ( PHYSICAL ) But the same thing is diverted to INTERNAL NATURE – INTERNAL WORLD ( SUBTLE ) , many incredible things will happen. WHY AND HOW ? Just as – Wealth and natural reserves inside the deep unfathomed caves of Ocean and earth is much HIGHER than on the land surface , skills , knowledge and wealth inside the man is higher than to seek in the external world . They all remain latent inside the man remaining untapped Both INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL WORLD ARE SAME Whatever in the external physical world we see is ONLY A PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION OF INTERNAL NATURE So what ever is present in the internal world/nature will automatically be present in the external world in some form or other Nothing new can be created or produced beyond INTERNAL NATURE which presents itself to Scientists, Research scholars in the form of VISIONs, hunches and dreams which they interpret leading to innovation of new products, process , developments Finally , I like to conclude saying “MAN IS A LITTLE UNIVERSE “ BG Badhey Venkatesh
