You cannot enrich the ocean by saving a spoon of salt.

शमथ। Samatha

Austerity is a virtue, but very few people know that austerity is not about quantity. For many
people, austerity means to reduce consumption. It could be true in individual cases but does
not hold true when it comes to larger issues. For example, astronomy is not about extravagance
or austerity but finding new frontiers of human civilization.

Limited knowledge about the virtue of austerity makes certain individuals look at everything
beyond their comfort zone as extravagance. This not only limits the growth of the individual
substantially but also stalls the progress of the ongoing work. Matters of little significance take
the limelight causing wastage of precious time. Little do such people realise that time is the
most precious of all resources and not paying attention to it causes irreplaceable wastefulness.

Your life is the biggest indication to you whether you are someone suffering from this disease.

You can see for yourself if your life has hit a stagnant stage. It will reflect in your family
relationships, work front, social influence, etc. If you approach this revelation with the right
attitude, you can easily come out of the suffering and enjoy a life of abundance. But if you are
someone who believes that you are the genius born ahead of your time, you will refuse to give
up your superiority fallacy.

Presence of mind is a non-negotiable requirement for people who aim to be movers and
influencers. Once you master it, you will know that the worth of a spoon of salt is not similar
everywhere.
