West vs India

This  interesting article  gives a  good comparison of western mind set vs Indian. The author points out that a western society is predominantly centered around by cultivating a dissatisfied mentality making people more materialistic driven and there by driving the capitalistic engine. On the contrast  ancient  Indian  mind set was  established towards serving the basic needs and striving for a balance through spiritual pursuit.

Don't mistake me into thinking that I am a ardent follower of any spiritual movement, its the ideas that impress me be it from any religious thought. Reading the article left me with more questions than answers as to how do you achieve a balance while still pursuing a capitalistic interests.

Here is the complete article
