Achalatvam (Steady State) is considered a negative word in the economic world. Hence Goddess of Wealth is termed Chanchale (Mercurial). The booming economy is always appreciated when compared to steady state economy. In this material world it is assumed that steady state is absence of growth while in the spiritual world steady state is the most essential aspect of growth. It is stated that with a steady mind a seeker can go deep inside and get aligned with Self.
A steady mind is that which does not react either positively or negatively to any emotions brought out by self or others. It is a way of accepting every thought and action with complete equanimity. This steady mind is achieved if one understands that the world is nothing but an illusion and is ephemeral. To get to this state a seeker has to look back and make a study of all the events that had happened in the past and realize the truth behind it. Steady mind flourishes depending on the stage of stability that a person is at. Every individual is right no matter what the conclusion since that particular matter of discussion is always subjective.
Economy with steady state is relatively stable and it happens when investment equals depreciation, hence it reaches equilibrium. Benefits of such an economy can be felt on Lifestyle, Environment and Morality. Lifestyle is enchanting as there is no gluttony, black market, slump, and unfair trade. Every person has sufficient time to focus on issues like community, society, relationships and other important life matters. Environment is in balance with nature and the life-giving resources not being exploited, the biophysical needs does not exceed and disrupt the natural ecosystem. Morally there will be no deceiving among brethren and it is not like a big fish gulping the small fish in the name of survival.
Booming economy occurs when real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grows faster than the trend growth rate. This may induce businesses to borrow high debts from banks which will results into market break down or may also become a reason for high inflation because of the changes in growth. Booming economy creates and survives on the hype. There is abundance in it but it lacks the real substance. Economic boom creates market hype and market hype yield to booming economy, both are hindrance to the economic growth of a country on a long run.
A restless mind has lots of ideas and thoughts but it lacks peace of mind. This restless mind generates an unstable body and unstable body yield to restless mind; both are hindrance to the spiritual growth of an individual. Sense organs tempt the mind and the mind begins to identify with the sensual pleasures and is veiled by this false identity. This false identity leads to egocentric thoughts which grips the mind and make it further restless.
The ability to accept every thought and action with complete equanimity and the capacity to distinguish the real from the ephemeral is completely lost. However mind should not be underestimated to have lost the potential to understand the difference, but it just refuses to understand because it is immersed in the fantasy of the illusory world, just as a greedy investor is intoxicated in the booming economic growth.
If one concentrates on the work rather than the consequences and stop being self centered the steady state economy can be achieved. With such an exercise the world would be the best place to live...... and one can have a calm mind as well .......do you agree???
