"เสีย..คือได้.."

“Our Loss is Our Gain”

That’s above, a paradox saying that the Bhumipala King said when 1989 (BE. 2541). That time of Thailand was confronting an economics problem, as “Tomyumkung disease”, the crisis caused Thai Bath fallen. He said to Thais thinking to that situation which whole systems were broken down and all people suffered.

However, he consoled Thais with awareness and wisdom by pointing that the thing lost that is the gain means there is experience, got prudent, more realization. This likes Buddhist teaching says one who gives something to other else, such person will gain return, loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic as reward. “More give, more gain” that is paradox but it is real.

In fact, in modern time, lifestyles of people seem ignore to religious ways because they are obstacles for living in business. The businessmen focus on income or amount of big money which they think that having much money or being richman is a source of things appears as they want. That is a purpose of man’s goal that it is not wrong for doing that but money supports us for buying things which make comfortable. We spent money buys food we cannot eat money directly it is served as things. Food is important for our body goes on and makes us not suffering.But life there is a mind inside that want quietness or peace.

So modern life is not balanced between body and mind we know that the richmen are suffering about their own belongings. This reflects to loss of their lifebusiness I would call it ”one way” means life has one side of balance, taking other side. Moreover the richman think that living on this world is enough, it doesn’t have another world. They do not appreciate life as religious view that will give them the right directions for the present and next life.

In philosophical view being richmen because that others give money to them as clients or buyer or purchase. The sellers only want money more and more and want many clients that means sellers loss their things meanwhile they got more money return. While buyers loss their money and got things as want too. This is a relationship between the demand and supply systems. In biological way, the body wants mind and in return, whether we will know the truth inside.

Body and mind they always exchange the being they give each other and never loss or gain in one way. They are balance and have close relationship as the one does not separate each other. The heart works as one for all because it must distribute the blood to over body while it receives black blood for cleaning to be red blood. This relation endures to end of life and what is an essence for living in this world. If the body and mind end they never have the rest except emptiness.

So while we are living on this existence what we have lost and have got. The good or the bad comes from the deed but not always that whether it causes us getting heaven or hell. We can check our deeds that we loss or gain while being a man. We lost tear but we have got the release, clean eyes.

Therefore, it should realize to this life while is alive what does it give us? What have we lost? I observed a tree that it has many leaves some of them fallen down the ground and become the soil, others protect, got the shine and breathe that it tells us realize to all. We have fallen down and injured we have also experience to be more watch out and have a skillfulness. So we are lucky that we lost because it warns us to be more complete.
