Entrepreneurs are realizing that the only way to survive is to share, because nobody escapes that the economy is not a matter of local but global scope, just as mass demonstrations in favor of peace for countries third parties, or that the political leaders who support the war are increasingly unpopular.
They are some of the convictions that the spiritual instructor Parvathi Kumar (Vijayawada, India, 1945), wields, to defend that we are facing a unique opportunity for change, which demands from us, more than ever, to know ourselves and become Good thinkers, and creative thinkers.
Connoisseur and scholar of the archetypes and symbolic, intellectual, historical and spiritual references of East and West, the president of the Wordl Teacher Trust (WTT), is convinced that the energy of Sagittarius, which corresponds to Spain, goes to bring the height, peace and splendor of the animal that represents that zodiac sign: the eagle. The conquest now, he points out, is not out as in other times, but towards the inner empire.
It discards, however, that one must commune with any philosophy or esoteric or spiritual belief in order to understand or foster the convenience of a new social and vital direction. It simply ensures that the moment is marked by the need for change that more and more people have.
Ananta Foundation: Is it realistic to say that spiritual awareness is growing?
Parvathi Kumar: Humanity on a global level is in a change, and in the next five years it will be possible to decide between going to war and power, which is backwards, or transcending all of this and moving forward. That is the crossroads and that is the step at the moment.
FA: The decision seems easy. Why does it not occur immediately?
PK: Humanity wants to make great strides, but still the energy of Atlantis pulls down towards aggression. Now there is a supplementary effort to transcend the fighting instinct. If this transcendence occurs we will enter into new times that have long been visualized. The only thing that blocks a new era for humanity is power. The majority of humanity is in peace, but there are small pockets of power that is where that change must be made.
FA: Does it refer to impediments from physical or personality powers?
PK: I mean all of them: economic power, political power ... and also of course internal power. The process is taking place in any case. People are realizing that competitiveness does not work, but cooperation, and power is also realizing that cooperation is more useful. that aggression and competitiveness.
FA: What would be the next natural step?
PK: There will be confidence among the nations, and the more developed will help the disadvantaged. Currently, there are many meetings at high levels among rich people to cooperate; It is happening at a mental level, but in the future it will materialize. Power is aware that things like that can't work.
FA: I wish we could all feel that way.
PK: Really, if there is no such feeling, the change will not occur . In that case we would enter a new cycle of sixty years. We are facing an opportunity that we must see and feel so that it becomes; If we miss this train, we would have to wait for the next one.
FA: Maybe you need to believe in a specific philosophy to see your postulates clearly
PK: The moment is marked by the need for change that more and more people have. The need and desire to change are there, the energies are leading people to more cooperation and sharing; companies are trying to share more than before and realize that it is the only way to survive. And every time we are realizing that a nation cannot be, really comfortable and well, if the others are wrong. The economy will therefore rely on the development of third parties, because only then can it be shared more. This is what you are seeing.
And multinational or multilateral entities will realize that they cannot survive if there is no sharing. That the economy is no longer national but global, what happens in one place affects the others. If there is an economic crisis in one place now, it will soon move to another place. Through business and communication we are all very well connected. If one part of us does not feel good, the other will not feel good either.
FA: Up to what point can individuals condition global reality?
PK: It was seen, for example, with the war in Iraq; the people of Europe did not want that war and made it look. That is a new consciousness; people want peace and the leaders who support these wars are increasingly unpopular. That is the energy that will neutralize the feeling of going to war.
FA: It's very hopeful. It should be on a spiritual path to move forward?
PK: The important thing is not to be on a spiritual path or a specific philosophy. The important thing is that each human being is able to think for himself. If you solve your problems, you can help others solve theirs. Pythagoras said that he wanted to hope that there was one less fool in the world and that he was him. The solution to overcome problematic thoughts or excessive emotions, will come from within us, from the depths of each one, in consciousness. The daily introspection of oneself allows us to clearly see what the problems are. It is enough to be a thinker, it is not necessary to be a theosophist.
We do not have to believe in something, but to believe in us, once we see a problem in us, consciousness arises and from consciousness the solution arises. When I go deeper and wonder why I am like that; why do I have this; When I see these things inside, is when I can fix them.
You don't need the theories of God to find the solution. If we look at ourselves in a mirror honestly, we know what we need to do to solve the problem. Helping to think about oneself and not about things that are outside is a good measure for an individual, a family, and a nation.
FA: It seems the ideal north for optimal education.
PK: The purpose of education is for one to be a good thinker, and no one taught us to be good thinkers. What they teach us leads us to be something routine, but not to be good thinkers. The Romans, the Greeks, at the time the English, the Spanish, built great things because they had good thinkers.
FA: A recommendation for a school teacher?
PK: Do not limit your teaching to giving information to students; to ensure that their students are thinkers and then creative thinkers. To help them develop their ability to think and create.
FA: Federico Mayor Zaragoza said that the ability to create is precisely the great hope of humanity.
PK: Currently, the number of human beings who are thinkers is a minority. We have to prepare good thinkers and allow them to be creative. Only from being thinkers will creativity come. We have to give education that emphasis, as do the schools of Rudolf Steiner, Sri Aurobindo or Rabindranath Tagore. Making followers like sheep is very easy, but it is a style of the past; Now it is no longer the case; Now each person wants to know why. The new generations are already demanding and doing it; We must give them support and tools to develop creativity, we have to help children not to be blind followers.
FA: Creative thinking must be completed with acts, with coherence in the material ...
PK: There is always a space between what we would like and what we just did. And that hole can only be filled with aspiration to do something really good, which is the fire of will. If there is something you like and you want to do it, if you don't do it, it is because there is not enough fire.
Normally that fire comes as grace when you have no other support. It arises in need; The result is a function of the degree of fire we have inside. If Columbus had not had that fire, he would not have found America. Who was the first to devise the telegraph, the telephone, the electricity ...? We can use fire to manifest good things, but you can only contribute from creative thinking.
FA: How do we achieve that fire of will that helps us be consistent?
PK: It is useful that there is not much artificial support. It happens that when we get used to air conditioning or heating, we end up not being able to withstand winter or summer. Our own natural resources eventually stop working for us and weaken. We need to regain contact with nature so that people grow, to be stronger; nature outside and inside support and feed each other; Our body, if awake, sweats to cool off when it is hot, and when we avoid it by artificial means, that mechanism can fall asleep.
Instead of protecting ourselves from nature, we must protect ourselves from what we call civilization, which is not leading us to positive progress because it makes us dependent on the outside, when the dependency has to be from within. The inner strength will come when we are working our own thoughts, not when we are waiting for outside help.
FA: The city seems like a bad place, then.
PK: It does n't depend on being in a city or town, but on our ability to focus. The question is what should I do? Am I doing what I should do or am I doing other things? There is nothing to raise outside, I have to ask myself. For example, if I decide to be a painter, musician, poet, writer, it has more strength if it has not come from outside but from me. It doesn't make a difference where you are. The interior environment is the important one.
FA: How do you get to hear that inner voice?
PK: Help introspection; It helps to focus on thinking about the purpose of one's life, asking yourself “Why am I here? It's what we have to ask the boys since they are 14 years old. That will lead them to know their vital purpose in a margin of ten or fifteen years.
FA: What would you recommend to an entrepreneur for your daily work?
PK: Introspection again. When one's work involves a team, it is very important to think, each morning, how to have a better organization, communication and work plan. Trust is built on cordial communication. And to communicate, we also have to know what we want to communicate and why. There has to be a purpose. If we start doing this introspection, in two and a half years we will have the capacity, but it has to be cultivated.
FA: What do your students look for when they approach you?
PK: They seek harmony, and balance of their energies; They always come with a part of knowledge and a part of ignorance, and what they are looking for is solutions for themselves. They invite me to come again because it seems to be useful, but they have to work it for themselves.
FA: Open your eyes to your own responsibility then.
PK: Each one, according to his free will, comes, listens and if he feels that the message is for him, he will work it. Then, if he does well, he will return to continue moving forward. You can not push anyone to grow internally, the idea is to awaken that awareness to start working and think about it; Then each one decides whether to do it or leave it. The true wisdom is that you can take it and leave it for two years without anyone coming to say anything. It may be that after a while that need comes to come look for. Teaching is information, not influence, influence is not good, it is like influenza, which is a disease.
FA: It looks like an a la carte teaching ...
PK: Sometimes it seems that the teacher has spoken for one. Teaching touches each person at a different point; It is the beauty of working with consciousness.
FA: Why do you return to Toledo? Why do spiritual meetings meet in Toledo?
PK: The current change of energy to which we are subject, is perceived especially around Toledo. In the past, Toledo was a center of great elevation and now it is again; especially since 2002 and with a more effective form from 2007.
The Spanish eagle will rise to great heights to bring peace, love and splendor. Before the eagle rose or rose to conquer, now that conquest is inward: a higher quality energy will come to all Spanish-speaking nations, the energy of Spain is Sagittarius. And the symbol of Sagittarius is the eagle that is rising to the sky.
These types of activities bring light globally to move towards peace.
FA: We may have missed something important that I want to add ...
PK The important thing is every moment and every person; I'm sure everything that needed to be said is said now,
