GDP=f (GNH)


                              
“We should know, sometimes we must let our kitchen to cook other’s dish”. “The more we yearn to live better tomorrow, the more we become incapable of living today happily”
                                                           What makes you not Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Hindu…………..?. The world today is astonishingly the busiest and nobody can ensure security of you. Ask some basic questions to ourselves very consciously, why we are here for? What can we do here? How we are different from other living beings? We have purpose to be born here, we are lucky, and we are brought with fate. How you felt for the first time in the class room, where no friends are known to you, where it seems world has given you nothing other than silence, that you keep on until days passes away and gets closer to your species. Biological affect causes change in human interaction with the ecology; it only verifies the proof of natural strength to cause any trend in existence. The clump of bushes will be gang of buglers if you are not serious in your consciousness and life. Our life is precious and one should know how to value it. Life is nothing but series of repetition of certain variety of experiments; we perform and get reasons to answer. We come and go from the stage, where we demonstrate our role. Ultimately the world for all is an empty end. Ask to your friend why he is not Christian, Hindu… its definite different kind of reasons will emerge, though some may be similar. Listen to my friend’s answer, “I am not Buddhist, or any other than Hindu, because my parents are Hindu.” What can we draw is, place, mode and time of brought up is the factor that handles who you are. We can’t guarantee one will be Hindu in the land of Christians. When one feeds on food of Muslim how can he be Buddhist? The point is, whether there is remarkable influence of religious perception in an economy and living life of a person.
Why not? Though the effect is varying from one person to another, from place to place and time to time, at least we can say there is varying effect due to own concept and believes. Basically what rules us at the terminal stage is our ultimate goal. Do we recognize our ultimate goal truly consciously? If so, our goal, aim, and objectives are not only to make to the brim of parents desire, be true obedient citizen of the nation, and make our life rest on comfy sofa...but also to attain level of HAPPINESS, own-self and aid for others happiness too. This world which you stand on now, is so cruel and no one notices how cruel to us she is, our mother earth. She exhibits her wealth and make us extract it from her but we are so pampered that we must have known, the more we are to material wealth, the more unstable we become. Material wealth is needed just to ignite the life and maintain consistency of living but want is not needed. Want is the compound of ego, greed, aggression, selfishness, impassion, hatred…but if we just eradicate this WANT , we are here with stable spirit with needs on our finger tips. Own believe is one’s life. We are just born, grown and prone to death. So in these countable days of life what makes you man is, when you succeed in attempting your ultimate goal.
                                                                      Now we are sure that there is bridge between spiritual conscience and living material. So then linking this relation would be smart, clever, and wise action. How? These two is pinned together by the term GNH. GNH is gross national happiness. It is an economic parameter to measure the progress of a nation, which small Himalayan country-Bhutan has been guided by this philosophy for about past four decades. This device ensures that every individual has right to be HAPPY. We are so blinded that market seems to provide every wellbeing and happiness.

GDP, the widespread tool or criterion to measure nation’s development is just the amount of goods and services that’s transacted through producers, market and consumers.GNH takes in the amount of material wealth the nation can produce and accordingly the associated happiness. Fact is, in GNH, spiritual state perpetually accompanies the progress. It is based on belief that realization of happiness is conditioned by our ability to achieve judicious balance between material and spiritual needs and pursuits.GNH suggests that progress should be understood as referring to the degree of gains we make in improving happiness levels over periods of time. It recognizes the needs of the human individual as going beyond the requirements of the body alone and calls for equal attention to the needs of both the mind and body. We mercilessly exploit resources and if we go so long with GDP, its harsh reminder that our current way of economy is unfair, inequitable and unsustainable. With the conviction that, happiness is the single most significant aspiration of every citizen, measuring tool GNH is applied. It is basically having four popular, prominent pronged strategies known as PILLARS.
                              1. Sustainable and equitable socio economic development,
                              2. Conservation of our fragile mountain ecology,
                              3. Preservation and promotion of culture and
                               4. Good governance.
Thousand beggars in the street can’t be exactly termed as poor economy; it’s just deficient in material wealth. They won’t be happy because they have to beg and beg for their survival and equally the Richie won’t be happy because he has to go for further more accumulation of wealth, though both of them aspires to be happy. So there must be equivalent link between material wealth and happiness. Here our natural emotion has to do work. Religion is one mean that can curb our intuitions in social phenomenon and interaction but only if one’s religion comprises of the values which tells something of sharing and equitability. More or less neglecting the effect of factors one is brought up, all human has heart to understand and pass love to who comes on their way. Concerning someone’s life is not at all foolish work because we ourselves are one or other way dependent on one another. Optimizing happiness with certain quantity of physical progress can be our aim of the millennium. So the modern era seeks engineers who understand the heart of the purpose of living and no doubt world is then designed with maximum happiness with justifiable material wealth. f(x)=Y……………….f(GNH)=GDP………………………….or gross international happiness(GIH)
