Smart Sage

Illustrations at the end of each chapter are awesome. It gives me an experience that the evolution of being in life also follows a model similar to the CMM model (Capability Maturity model) of the IT Industry. Here the progressive maturity levels of being are; Lower-self (L-), lower-self (L), higher-self (H) and highest-self (H+). We must embrace the lower levels to move into higher levels. The illustration dedicated to each chapter not only summarizes the learning of the chapter beautifully, it also clarifies that all conflict in the world originates due to the conflict between our own true-self and shadow-self. Author also has given a unique approach on how to elevate the maturity of our existential self .

This book explains complex concepts of life in a way that is easy to understand and resolve the blind spots in life. Like a compass, it shows clear and convincing direction to follow during challenges, ambiguity, and confusion. In other words, it is a source of clarity, confidence and conviction for playful life and inner-happiness. Also, it has many practical call-to-action that can be applied in personal and professional life in 21st century. A book for life-time.

Nature has given two nostrils. While the right one represents the sun (solar energy - dynamism), the left one represents the moon (lunar energy - calmness).Once both energy-channels are in harmony, we get equanimity in life. (JOSH with HOSH in Hindi).Taking the same as the sequel, the author explains that nature has given us two purposes. Firstly, the outer purpose; i.e., survive with vibrancy (JOSH).Secondly, the inner purpose; i.e., evolve with awareness (HOSH). Once both purposes are in harmony, we become Smart as well as Sage. A suatainable perspective and approach to live in 21st century.

This book provides a beautiful perspective, which resolves most of the paradox of a purposeful life at the level of our inner-energy (being); i.e., desire vs quest, passion vs obsession, like vs love, crazy vs easy, IQ vs EQ vs SQ, conscience vs consciousness, Karma vs free-will, compulsive vs conscious choice and many more. Once we grasp this clarity at the level of energy; our rat-race life-style get automatically tuned towards purposeful and meaningful life-style. It’s an life changing read.

This book beautifully explains about wholistic purpose of our life (i.e., the outer and inner purposes). Author calls the outer purpose as Smartness and inner-purpose as Sage-ness. In other words, smartness gives us superficial happiness with is material comfort, convenience, possession, power, and fame; whereas Sage-ness gives us inner and deeper happiness with love, joy, peace, and peace. It clarifies all paradoxical confusion on purpose of this life. A brilliant peace for people in rat-race of 21st century.

Wonderful sequence of chapters!!! While reading, it seems I am in a six-sima journey for self-discovery (DMAIC: define-self, measure-self, analyses-self, improve-self) to have a meaningful life. Author has introduced a unique approach to measure/know ourself quantitatively at every moment of life; i.e., at 100- when we are fearful, 150- when we are angry, 500-when we are in love. This approach gives a clarity on whether we are evolving in life along with improvement in our lifestyle of modern world.

Sage-ness is not by the ambience of an individual but by disposition of his/her energy, attitude, experience, and expression. It was a mind-blowing experience to realize that Sage-ness is 100% compatible with Smartness of the world. Author has given an profound approach to execute each task/transaction with smart-ness as well as sage-ness to derive existential satisfaction in life. This book is a must read for people in rat-race of 21st century to have material-abundance and authentic-happiness in life.
