Application of 'maths'  in thought,action & deed"

We have to be careful and calculative in the matters
of money, speech and in all actions that are performed in day-today life.                                                                                                                                                                                                          
For deriving petty joy/pleasure we should never indulge. 
Only we need to concentrate in such of those actions that lead to
our own SELF IMPROVEMENT ('atma shreyas') and
WELFARE OF THE MASSES (Loka kshemam). That is all. That is it.  Although
it is a slow process, we have to go by this way.

In the first instance, calculative we aught to be in our
'thoughts' ; it has to be given the utmost importance. That's the starting point.
Within seconds, our mind gives room to countless thoughts like
the cow or horse running away from its master
breaking its connection......thoughts should not be
allowed to run berserk like this on worthless pursuits.....
we should try our best to control such thought-waves
surging fastly & in a ferocious way.  Like how we
put a dam across the river which is highly flooding & making
use of the water to our best advantage, we must practise.  Thoughts 
need to be confined on the above two broad aspects.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
Sure, it will be very difficut to concentrate on
a thing (vasthu) or becoming that vasthu. To acquire
that status, it is no doubt a long drawn process. However,
from now on our mind need to be focussed on 'sath'
matters, on those matters that elevates you and your
self to higher level giving peace of mind. So long our mind is diverted
on various unproductive directions
it becomes a waste or the benefits one gets is far less.
The opposite, actions are highly useful/productive. That
is absolute.

Summing up, it is again reiterated we have to be
calculative (kanakka irukkanum) - without allowing
it to wander on unwanted or unnecessary matters &
that will certainly pave way for a meaningful life.
Sure, it is a psychological exercise.  We must not
hesitate to go into  this process.
