Book Cover & Preview Text
On a bright Saturday morning, I was not able to sleep and got up early in the morning. Though things were absolutely fine financially and socially, something appeared not right. Introspection allowed me to realize the imbalances I had in my life, specifically on whether the contribution I made towards society was sufficient. This lead to an extensive study of books to Vedic hymns; reflective thinking, meeting people and a multitude of interactions resulting in thinking back on the Basics. All of us have passions and dreams. However, many of us do not make it to the dreams and do not live a passionate life. There may be times where despite the hard work, we may not necessarily see the results. This could lead to imbalances in life, whether personal or professional; with your career, relationships or friendships. Imbalances in life are due to the choices we make, knowingly or unknowingly. The purpose of this book is to ensure that people understand the life principles so that life is: exciting, simple and more meaningful. Nature and life have given me so many gifts; this is an opportunity for me to pay back something back to nature and society. The basic universal principles of life are the same as the guiding principles for success in life. These are the same quoted in various forms in books like Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, and You Can Win, as well as in religious scriptures. The universal principles are 1. Design & Purpose 2. Order & Rhythm 3. Abundance 4. Freedom 5. Oneness 6. Responsibility If we also include the addition of socio-economic factors, the needs hierarchy and energy cycles to the above universal principles, this will lead to a new form of life that is more fulfilling, rewarding, satisfying, enjoyable and harmonious. These ideas helped me connect with people from various age groups and help them transform their lives by simply going back to basics. This book is an endeavour to pass on this knowledge, learning and experience as a practical formula to a wider social circle to enable a better society.
