Kev nug mus rau koj lub txhab ntawm Mahatma Gandhi Philosophical Gandhi yog ib paragon uas siab zoo, ib cov icon ntawm iconoclasm. Nws yog hom neeg uas coj lub ntiaj teb no mus nws yog dab tsi, muab cov lus nug ntawm nws lub hwj huam uas koj tus kheej, and then did his absolute best to be the change he wished to see in the world. He was a shining example of living by example, and he was not afraid of challenging the powers-that-be. In this article we will break down seven juicy nuggets of Gandhian wisdom through a philosophical lens. Maybe by standing on the shoulder of this giant we can see even further than he did. And maybe we too can become the change we wish to see in the world. “Be the change you wish to see in the world” “The inner world is the world of your requirements and your energies and your structure and your possibilities that meets the outer world. And the outer world is the field of your incarnation. That’s where you are. You’ve got to keep both going. As Novalis said, ‘The seat of the soul is there where the inner and outer worlds meet.” –Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth Being the change you wish to see in the world is no walk in the park. It requires ruthless courage in the face of steadfast cowards. It requires being healthy, honest and proactive. We all, for the most part, want the world to be a healthy place to live. We can all mostly agree that we’d like to live among people who are loving, caring, and compassionate. Thiaj li thaum nws tawm rau nws, being the change we wish to see in the world means being healthy, honest, proactive, hlub, caring, and compassionate people. A tall order, Yog thiag, but being the walking personification of change is not (and never has been) a small order task. It is each of our task, and our task alone, to find the “seat of our own soul.” There, where the inner and outer worlds meet, we can begin the much needed work of being the change we wish to see in the world. There, where ego meets soul, where finitude meets infinity, where mortal meets God, we can begin the difficult task of being the walking personification of healthy, honest, proactive, hlub, caring, compassionate change. Or, we can just continue to hit the snooze button of our lives and keep going through the same old unhealthy habits of our forefathers. The choice is ours. Gandhi can show us the door, but we’re the ones who have to walk through it. “What you think, you become” "Peb yuav ua li cas peb pheej hais dua. Excellence, ces, yog tsis muaj cai, tab sis tus cwj pwm."– Aristotle Gandhi knew the power of the mind. More specifically, he knew the power of habits. Like Aristotle he was a king of good habits. When faced with an unhealthy way of doing things, the only way to change the way things are done is to become healthy, and that requires healthy habits. If we can cultivate healthy habits (hlwb, lub cev, and soul) then we can become a beacon of health in an unhealthy world. If we think we can make a difference, then we will make a difference. But we must also make it a habit. Things don’t just happen magically. They take hard work and a nose-to-the-grindstone attitude toward life. They take proactive perseverance, especially in an inactive and inert society. In a world dominated by sheep there are people who can wear wolf masks and people who cannot. Gandhi was a gentle wolf amidst herded sheep. He knew when to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing and when to shed his sheep clothes and unleash the wolf within. Like Tom Robbins said, “There are people in this world who can wear whale masks and people who cannot, and the wise know to which group they belong.” In order to become the type of person who knows “to which group they belong,” we must make a habit out of our thoughts, and we must make our thoughts healthy. “Learn as if you’ll live forever” “If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.” –Rene Descartes Doubt is the key to learning as if you’ll live forever. Certainty only leads to a closed mind. That does not mean we cannot be mostly certain about things, but leaving room for doubt, and having a healthy understanding of how probability works, yog the secret to open-mindedness. The important thing is to keep learning, to remain circumspect with our knowledge, to not become stagnant in our thoughts and ideas about how the world works in relation to how we think it works. Like Einstein said, “The important thing is not to stop questioning.” On a long enough timeline there are infinite timelines. Or so it would seem to us finite beings perceiving an infinite reality using finite brains. Thiab thiaj li, as French critic Charles Du Bos said, we should be “able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.” And what we could become is nothing short of everything. Yog thiag, learning as if we’ll live forever could eventually lead to us living forever. Maybe it already has led to that, and we’re just not directly aware of it yet; or maybe not. The key is healthy doubt, and the ability to consider things without prematurely placing all our eggs into just one basket. “Your health is your true wealth” “Health is the constant movement of all things from emotional climate to physical condition. This is the systemic view of life that emphasizes the circular interconnections that link and sustainably regulate all members of a system.” -Bradford Keeney Health cannot be stressed enough. It is the essential concept agreed upon by wise men since time immemorial. Health is not only true wealth – dwarfing any amount of stopgap money or makeshift success, it is also the cornerstone of happiness. Yog thiag, without health there could be no genuine happiness. Healthy mind, healthy body, and a healthy soul: these are the critical ingredients in the recipe of true wealth and happiness. The healthier we are in each, the more our wealth will grow and the higher our happiness will ascend. The healthier we become in each, the more likely we are to become, like Gandhi, the change we wish to see in the world. “Have a sense of humor” “Humor must not professedly teach and it must not professedly preach, but it must do both if it would live forever.” –Mark Twain A good sense of humor is the saving grace of any philosophy or worldview, even bad philosophy. Yog thiag, as long as your philosophy isn’t overly serious, humorless, and you don’t take yourself too seriously, your philosophy can be saved from mediocrity. It is only when our philosophies are overly serious and without humor that our philosophies become mediocre. Like Ludwig Wittgenstein said, “A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely in jokes.” Why is this? Because the universe is constantly changing and evolving. A philosophy or worldview that takes itself too seriously and becomes too certain of itself, kills itself simply because it is attempting to pigeonhole the universe into a static and fixed thing, which it can never be. But all we have to do is add the crucial element of humor to the equation and our philosophy or worldview is suddenly saved from itself. It goes from a snake eating its own tail to a snake laughing at its own tail. And a laughing snake is infinitely more tolerable than an eating snake. Is it not? “Our greatness is being able to remake ourselves” “Give up defining yourself, to yourself or to others. You won’t die. You will come to life. And don’t be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it’s their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don’t be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.” –Eckhart Tolle The secret to greatness is flexibility: in mind, lub cev, and soul. The greatest thinkers are the most cognitively plastic. The greatest athletes are the most physically flexible. The greatest sages are the most spiritually elastic. Remaking ourselves is no easy task, but thinking of it as a game of flexibility can be a very effective strategy. Like Picasso said, “It takes a long time to become young again.” The self is constantly changing anyway. The important thing is to become adaptable to, and not fearful of, such change. Like Julian Baggini wrote, “’I’ is a verb dressed as a noun.” Picture yourself “verbing” through the cosmos at the speed of light, dressing and undressing, losing and unlosing, all the nouns and pronouns that make up the universe bursting all around you like a kaleidoscope. Yog thiag, you are not merely a human connected to God, you are an infinite connection forever Godding, forever remaking yourself, since the “beginning” of the universe. “Find yourself in the service of others” “Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.” –Gandhi Escape the linear. Discover the cyclical. Remove yourself from the dead-stare of coercion, victimization, and the subliminal urge to bend others to your will. Move instead into the open countenance of cohesion, compassion, and the holistic desire to bring people together. We need more than heroes who simply leave paths for others to follow; we need heroes (like Gandhi and MLK) who leave guidance on how others can create their own paths –the more “paths” the better. Diversity is the key to healthiness within nature as well as within culture. When we disclose the world with the purpose of freedom it leads to further disclosure, and by the same action we free others from enclosure into disclosure. Personal freedom leads to the need to empower and free others which leads to other free people which leads to accountability which leads to sustainability which leads to a healthy community for all. Before we know it we are living in a community of people whose foundation is the maintenance of healthy relationships. People who stand up, in resistance, to people whose foundation is the primacy of money and production. Economics must be secondary to the primacy of relationships in order for a healthy, sustainable, happy society to emerge. Like George Lichtenberg said, “In each of us there is a little of all of us.” Indeed, we find ourselves by helping our fellow brothers and sisters discover liberty and freedom for themselves. We free ourselves by showing others that the healthier way is always a relationship-based lifestyle over an ownership-based one.

A filozofsko istraživanje u Mudrost Mahatma Gandhi Gandhi je bio uzor vrlina, ikona ikonoborstvo. On je bio tip osobe koji su na svijetu za ono što je bilo, uzeo popis svoje lične moći, a zatim je dao sve od sebe da bude promjene želi vidjeti u svijetu. Bio je sjajan primer življenja primjerom, a on se ne plaši osporava ovlasti-to-biti. U ovom članku ćemo srušiti sedam sočne grumenje Gandijevog mudrosti kroz filozofske objektiv. Možda zato što sam stajao na ramenu ovog giganta možemo vidjeti čak i dalje od njega. A možda smo previše može postati promjena želimo vidjeti u svijetu. “Budite promjena koju želite vidjeti u svijetu” "Unutrašnji svijet je svijet vaše zahtjeve i svoju energiju i svoju strukturu i tvoj mogućnosti koje zadovoljava vanjski svijet. A vanjski svijet je na polju vaše inkarnacije. To je gdje si. Moraš da oba ide. Kao što je rekao Novalis, "Sjedište duše je tu gdje je unutrašnje i vanjske življa." Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth Budući da je promjena koju želite vidjeti u svijetu se ne hoda u parku. To zahtijeva nemilosrdni hrabrost u lice postojan kukavice. To zahtijeva budu zdravi, iskren i proaktivno. Svi smo, u većini slučajeva, Želim svijet da bude zdrav mjesto za život. Mi se svi uglavnom slažu da bih živjeti među ljudima koji su ljubavi, brižan, i samilosti. Dakle, kada se sve svodi na to, što je promjena želimo vidjeti u svijetu znači biti zdrav, pošten, proaktivne, ljubavni, brižan, i samilosti ljudi. A težak zadatak, zaista, ali što je hoda personifikacija promjene nisu (i nikada nije bilo) mali bi zadatak. To je svaki naš zadatak, i sami naš zadatak, pronaći "sjedište naše duše." Postoji, gdje su unutrašnje i vanjske svjetove ispunjavaju, možemo početi prijeko potreban rad što je promjena želimo vidjeti u svijetu. Tamo, gdje ego ispunjava dušu, gdje se sastaje konačnost infinity, gdje je smrtni upoznaje Boga, možemo početi težak zadatak jer je hodanje personifikacija zdrave, pošten, proaktivne, ljubavni, brižan, saosećajno promjene. Ili, možemo jednostavno nastaviti pogodio dugmetu naših života i držati prolaze kroz iste stare nezdrave navike naših predaka. Izbor je naš. Gandhi nas može pokazati vrata, ali mi smo ti koji moraju proći kroz to. “Što mislite, postajete” "Mi smo ono što smo u više navrata učiniti. Nadmoćnost, onda, nije akt, ali navika. "-Aristotle Gandhi je znao moć uma. Preciznije, znao je moć navike. Kao Aristotel je bio kralj dobre navike. Kada smo suočeni s nezdravom načinu obavljanja stvari, jedini način da se promijeniti način na koji se stvari rade je da postane zdrava, i da zahtijeva zdrave navike. Ako možemo kultiviraju zdrave navike (um, tijelo, i duše) onda možemo postati svetionik zdravlja u nezdravom svijetu. Ako mislimo da možemo napraviti razliku, onda ćemo napraviti razliku. Ali moramo također čine ga naviku. Stvari ne dešavaju samo magično. Oni se naporan rad i odnos nos-to-the-žrvanj prema životu. Oni se proaktivno ustrajnost, posebno u neaktivnu i inertnog društva. U svijetu kojim dominira ovce postoje ljudi koji mogu da nose maske vuka i ljudi koji ne mogu. Gandhi je bio nježan vuk usred čuvao ovce. On je znao, kada će biti vuka u ovce odjeću i kada da bacaju svoje ovce odjeće i oslobodi vuka u roku. Kao Tom Robbins izjavio, "Postoje ljudi na ovom svijetu koji mogu nositi kit maske i ljudi koji ne mogu, i mudri znaju kojoj grupi pripadaju. "Da bi postao tip osobe koja zna" na koji grupe kojoj pripadaju,"Moramo napraviti naviku od naših misli, i moramo učiniti naše misli zdrava. “Naučite kao da ćeš živjeti zauvijek” "Ako bi bio pravi azila za istinom, potrebno je da barem jednom u životu da sumnjaš, koliko god je moguće, svih stvari. "-Rene Descartes Sumnja je ključ za učenje kao da ćeš živjeti zauvijek. Sigurnost vodi samo na zatvorenu um. To ne znači da ne možemo biti pretežno određene o stvarima, ali ostavljajući prostora za sumnju, i imaju zdrav razumijevanje o tome kako vjerojatnost radova, je tajna slobodoumnost. Bitno je da učenje, ostati oprezan s našim znanjem, da ne postanu stagnaciji u našim mislima i idejama o tome kako svijet radi u odnosu na to kako mislimo da radi. Kao što je rekao Einstein, "Bitno je da se ne zaustavi u pitanje." Na dovoljno dugo vremenski postoje beskonačne rokovima. Ili tako da se čini da nas konačnih bića doživljavajući beskonačno stvarnosti pomoću konačnih mozak. I tako, kao francuski kritičar Charles Du Bos rekao, trebalo bi "mogli u svakom trenutku da žrtvuje ono što smo za ono što bismo mogli postati." A ono što smo mogli postati je ništa manje od svega. Zaista, učenja, kao da ćemo živjeti zauvijek moglo dovesti do nas koji živimo zauvijek. Možda je već dovelo do koje, a mi smo samo nisu direktno svjesni ga još; ili možda ne. Ključ je zdrava sumnje, i sposobnost da se razmotri stvari bez prerano stavljanje sve naše jaja u samo jedan koš. “Vaše zdravlje je vaše bogatstvo” "Zdravlje je stalna kretanje svih stvari iz emocionalne klime u fizičkom stanju. Ovo je sistemski pogled na život koji naglašava kružnog međusobne veze koje povezuju i održivo reguliraju sve članove sistema. "-Bradford Keeney Zdravlje se ne može dovoljno naglasio. To je od suštinske važnosti koncept dogovoren mudraca od pamtivijeka. Zdravlje nije samo bogatstvo - dwarfing bilo koji iznos novca ili privremena improvizovanih uspjeh, to je ujedno i temelj sreće. Zaista, bez zdravstvenog nije moglo biti istinske sreće. Zdrav duh, zdravom tijelu, i zdravu dušu: to su kritični sastojaka u receptu istinskog bogatstva i sreće. U zdravije smo u svakom, više naše bogatstvo rasti i veći našu sreću će se uzdići. U zdravije smo postali u svakoj, je češće smo postati, kao što je Gandhi, promjena želimo vidjeti u svijetu. “Imati smisao za humor” "Humor ne smije očevidno naučiti i ona se ne očevidno propovijedati, ali mora učiniti kako ako bi živjeti zauvijek. "Mark Twain Dobar smisao za humor je Saving Grace bilo filozofije ili svjetonazor, čak i loše filozofije. Zaista, dokle god tvoja filozofija nije pretjerano ozbiljno, neveselo, a ti ne uzimaju sebe preozbiljno, tvoja filozofija može se sačuvati od osrednjosti. To je samo kada naša filozofija su previše ozbiljna i bez humora da je naša filozofija postane osrednji. Kao Ludwig Wittgenstein, rekao je, "Ozbiljna i dobar filozofski rad mogao biti napisan se sastoji u potpunosti šale." Zašto je to? Budući da je svemir stalno mijenja i razvija. A filozofija ili svjetonazor da je i sama uzima previše ozbiljno i postaje previše siguran u sebi, ubija sama jednostavno zato što pokušava da klasifikovati svemir u statičkim i fiksna stvar, koje nikada ne može biti. Ali sve što moramo učiniti je dodati ključni element humora u jednadžbu i naša filozofija ili svjetonazora je iznenada spasio od samog. To ide od zmija jede sopstveni rep da zmija smeješ sopstveni rep. I smeje zmija je beskrajno više podnošljiv nego jede zmija. Zar nije? “Naša veličina je u stanju da se preprave” "Dajte up definiranje sebe, sebi ili drugima. Nećete umrijeti. Vi ćete doći u život. I nemojte biti zabrinuti kako drugi definirati te. Kada su te definirati, oni su sami ograničavaju, tako da je njihov problem. Kad god interakciju s ljudima, Ne biti tu prvenstveno u funkciji ili ulogu, već kao polje svjesnog prisustva. Možete samo da će izgubiti nešto što imate, ali ne možete izgubiti nešto što si ti. "-Eckhart Tolle Tajna do slave je fleksibilnost: u vidu, tijelo, i duše. Najveći mislioci su najčešće kognitivno plastike. Najveći sportaši su najviše fizički fleksibilni. Najveći mudraci su najviše duhovno elastične. Preoblikovanje sebe nije lak zadatak, ali razmišljam o tome kao o igri fleksibilnosti može biti vrlo efikasna strategija. Kao što je rekao Picasso, "Potrebno je dugo vremena da ponovo postane mlad." The self se stalno mijenja ionako. Bitno je da postane prilagodljiv, a ne plašeći se, takve promjene. Kao Julian Baggini napisao, "'I' je glagol obučen kao imenica." Picture sebe "verbing" kroz svemir brzinom svjetlosti, dorada i skidanje, gubitnika i unlosing, sve imenice i zamjenice koje čine svemir pršti sve oko sebe kao kaleidoskop. Zaista, vi ne samo ljudsko povezan sa Bogom, ti si beskonačno vezu zauvijek Godding, Forever preoblikovanje sebe, od "početka" svemira. “Nađete u službi drugima” "Šta god da radiš će biti beznačajna, ali je vrlo važno da to radiš. "-Gandhi Pobjeći linearnog. Otkrijte ciklične. Uklonite se iz mrtvih-stare prinude, žrtvovanje, i subliminalne poriv da savijati drugima da tvoja volja. Move umjesto u otvoreni lik kohezije, samilost, i holistički željom da okupi ljude. Treba nam više od heroja koji jednostavno ostaviti staze za druge da slijede; trebamo heroji (kao što su Gandhi i MLK) koji napuštaju smjernice o tome kako drugi mogu kreirati vlastite staze u daljem više "staze" bolje. Raznolikost je ključ zdravlju, u roku od prirode kao i unutar kulture. Kada smo otkriti svijet s ciljem slobode vodi daljoj otkrivanja, a od istog akciju smo oslobodili ostali iz kućišta u otkrivanja. Osobne slobode dovodi do potrebe da osnaži i slobodno drugima što dovodi do druge slobodni ljudi, što dovodi do odgovornosti, što dovodi do održivost što dovodi do zdrave zajednice za sve. Prije nego što znamo da živimo u zajednici ljudi čija fondacija održavanje zdravih odnosa. Ljudi koji ustanu, u otporu, za ljude čiji je temelj je primat novca i proizvodnju. Ekonomija mora biti u drugom planu i primat odnosa, kako za zdrav, održivog, happy društva da se pojavljuju. Kao što je rekao George Lichtenberg, "U svakom od nas postoji mala svih nas." Zaista, nađemo pomažući naše kolege braća i sestre otkriju slobodu i slobodu za sebe. Mi osloboditi pokazujući drugima da je zdraviji način je uvijek odnos zasnovan na načinu života više od jednog vlasništva na bazi.
