JAINISM----INDIA AND U.S.A. DIFFERENCES----------!!!.

I happened to meet my relative after a gap of three months. She returned from U.S after completing her assignment over there. I casually asked her how was the trip--how were the people and what difference she found if compared to our beloved country India.
So far I avoided to cover personal things in this blog. Here I am sharing her views  to account for good things of human behavior.
Her trip was fantastic She found the people very awesome. One quality she liked about them was their equality towards all human beings. She told me that those people are good with every one. Once you have eye contact with them they will definitely respond with a smile .The attitude less behavior in spite of achievement is a special feature of the people. The personal attachment might be less but they respect every individual. It is an encouraging begin once you meet.
In our country we search for various common link in form of family,
friend ,relative, gender, caste, location, business connections, city.
state etc.to respond. If there is no common link ,we behave with them as a man from another planet. Here we fear marketing trap and cheating so we restrain ourselves from establishing new connections.

Here there is too much attachment if the relations are backed by a common link. Such deep attachment causes building Mahamohniya.
Karmas. To adhere to relations we may commit sins like favoritism, cheating. undue preferences, denying others legitimate rights etc. All these causes more sins for us. People over there are some what individualist busy in work, money ,new ideas and self comfort and enjoyment. If  they have a spirituality connection  and get tips from Jainism ,they can work better for salvation-she felt. No doubt this her first impression and short span of her stay can not bring all good things immediately.

Second thing she liked for them was manners and high regards for women. It is evident in road crossing, during travelling, assistance to pick up your luggage, opening doors and so on. It's nice to adopt it. 
Thirdly they are very much well mannered and law binding humans. Following Law and order due to fear of law forcing agency is not evident any where. That can be reason of  comparatively less deaths in road accidents and less traffic jams. The people are very fond of
democracy and loves individual liberty. They do not waste food in Restaurants, balance food  being taken as parcel to home.     Only thing she disliked was free license for weapons and it's probable misuse. Secondly self love may cause more mental tensions and make one prone to problems of aloofness. Thirdly commodities rates are comparative costly it is okay as compared to earning level. Medical treatment is too costly unless backed by insurance coverage.

She has limitations to judge the political pattern and Government policies since she is too young for the subject. But it is the people who builds the nation and she appreciated them. other thing big roads, skyscraper, good infrastructure came as a result of economy  of  the developed status of country. But for her she missed Jainism culture existence. No Sadhus majority of non vegetarians. This is the only reason she do not wish to settle there in spite of opportunities
I ended the topic saying let us exchange good qualities from them and make our country advance in equality and manners by offering some spiritual teachings in return. Let us give the exchange a try.

JAI JINENDRA-------!!!---------- JAI MAHAVEERA--------!!!.
