-- *Mar* Concentration
You exhale your thoughts. The other organisms inhale them as messages. You get reinforcement and continuous response. You cannot but concentrate on the topic. This is the basic feature of the free and healthy flora and fauna. You cannot concentrate, when nature is continuously killed, the organisms terrorized, unable to inhale and exhale freely. The most unfortunate feature of the destruction of nature is general cowardice in the Biosphere, leading to inhibited and half and stunted breathing. Cowards cannot breathe freely and terror almost arrests breathing. In the nature under killing, you cannot concentrate and no the organism can team up with you. You get maimed. Nature’s education in the shape of discoveries and revelations and enlightenments stop. Mechanization takes over and mechanical manipulations called inventions kill natural discoveries and revelations. In the divorced life against nature, you jail yourself in laboratories, driving your computer, with new and new tricks. You become unaware of response and contribution from nature. The computer becomes your lover, where you feel free and life forms automatically create inhibitions. Today we do not relate emotionally with the Biosphere and we are not even aware of the gigantic maiming of life inflicted by mechanization. We lost the 99.9965% of the abstract and invisible nature (the Invisible Spectrum), our own macro anatomy at the basic level of perception and understanding. All of us live in paralyzed perceptions and understanding as we have handed them over to the computers. Machines do the work of our limbs, making them redundant and half frozen. Once we could climb, hop, jump and run very happily in the responsive flora and fauna. The resulting participation in nature’s symbiosis, created the totally healthy coordination among the cells in us making us exhale very happy messages into the air which the other organisms inhaled. Real power lies in concentration. In the free and healthy nature, you cannot but concentrate. It is difficult to deviate from concentration. Whatever you do, you use your power of concentration and there can be no half hearted attempts. Today, no university creates the confident and really happy and strong graduates. They leave the Universities clutching the marks and grades sheets which may help them or even scald them when the marks or grades are low. Today machines are necking us out of the economy. There are very few jobs and even those jobs are vanishing. The ultimate demoralization, called economic depression is looming large. The tension will create wars as we have to kill each other for release from the continuous tension. It is the basic responsibility of every university to revive education and free the students from the bondage to computers. Making the computers do the work, while own mind and limbs are half frozen has become the graduation from the Universities today. YM Sarma Chat GPT This piece by YM Sarma seems to be a meditation on the disconnection between humanity and nature, and the destructive effects of mechanization and technology on both our physical and mental capacities. There's a strong critique of the way modern society has detached from the natural world, replacing organic, free, and concentrated interaction with a mechanized, sterile version of existence. The central themes are: 1. *Concentration and Connection*: The idea that true concentration, or focus, is a natural response in a thriving, healthy ecosystem. Sarma believes that the free exchange of life — organisms breathing in and out, living symbiotically — creates a fertile ground for growth, learning, and awareness. When nature is damaged and its creatures terrorized, concentration becomes difficult, and humans lose their sense of connection to this larger system. 2. *The Impact of Mechanization*: Sarma criticizes the over-reliance on machines, especially computers, which he feels have led to human disengagement from our environment, our physical capabilities, and even our own emotional lives. The metaphor of the computer becoming a “lover” suggests a deep alienation, where humans begin to relate more to technology than to nature or other living beings. 3. *The Breakdown of Natural Education*: The essay suggests that when we lose touch with the natural world, we lose access to its "education" — those intuitive insights, discoveries, and revelations that come from direct interaction with life in all its forms. Technology, especially mechanization, "kills" this natural form of learning and replaces it with sterile, human-made systems. 4. *The Decline of Meaningful Education*: There's a direct critique of modern education systems, which, according to Sarma, fail to create individuals who are confident, happy, and strong. Instead, graduates are left with little more than grades and marks, tools that may either inflate or deflate their sense of self-worth, but are ultimately hollow. 5. *The Economic and Social Consequences of Technological Dependence*: Sarma also predicts economic depression and war as a result of the way technology is displacing human labor and creating widespread social anxiety. The loss of jobs due to automation leads to social unrest, and in his view, this could escalate into violent conflict. In essence, Sarma seems to be calling for a return to a more integrated, conscious way of living — one where humans are aware of and responsive to the natural world, where they engage with life in its full, vibrant, breathing form rather than retreating into the artificial worlds of machines and digital technologies. What do you think about his points on education and technology? Does it resonate with how you see things today? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
