New Instrument in an Old Organisation
·
The
very first response is resistance, total rejection, dislike, an intense desire
not to understand, a blind refusal.
·
An
eager reception, willing acceptance, appreciation, an intense longing to know
more of the new instrument comes from a blind adoration from the
non-establishment.
·
Of
course, the New prevails, the Old gives way.
·
Out
of necessity or social compulsion or fashion when the old accepts the new, the
rule is it sits there in a corner as a token of compliance, also as a token of
disgust.
·
The
unformed portion of the establishment, often manned by ardent youth, resorts to
work more for toying with the new instrument than for work itself.
·
In
this period of transition, business witnesses a BOOM in several commodities or
sectors.
·
Invariably the new machine will be there behind that boom.
·
Various
types of adjustment are thus resorted to. There is no question of having any
field of work without that new instrument any more.
·
Phone,
Xerox, car, motor, fountain pen, telegraph, TV all had this reception in
varying degrees.
·
The
climax is seen, often seen, the promoters of the new instrument may not be
using it.
·
Particularly
for failing organisations, any such instrument in the market is a boon.
·
Ford
could not enlist the use of banks for safe deposit of his cash.
·
Buckingham
Palace retains the horse drawn vehicles even now for ceremonial occasions.
·
Effective
introduction of the new instrument into an old organisation depends upon an
effective intermediary.
·
The
intermediary becomes effective when he FULLY understands the use of the new and FULLY understands its use for the organisation as well as the psychological
incompatibility of the one with the other.
·
His
own personality acting as the buffer is possible if that mental understanding
of information becomes sympathy in him.
He may find there as much coexistence as seen in an Indian marrying an American
wife.
·
That
sympathy is a mental understanding, a vital friendliness and a physical skill
to relate the one with the other. He needs revolutionary fervour.
·
Of
the many ways, Self-giving is most powerful.
·
I
do not know whether you have seen the total indifference to writing accounts in
people. They will stoutly argue against it. Computer has very little chance.
·
In
one sense, it is like introducing Mother or spirituality to the USA or Glenn
Doman to mothers.
·
Work
it out in the mind, LIVE
it in your
emotions before asking the brewer to give up liquor!
The Living Organisation
·
Organisation
is the first stage of which organism is the final stage.
·
The
postal system is an organisation; the human body is an organism.
·
An
organism consists of many organs each of which functions as an organisation.
·
It
is possible to coordinate not cooperate the functions of all the internal
organs of a body.
·
Such
a coordination can be extended from their central function to their cellular
function.
·
Cooperation
is to function at different points to move collectively to the same goal.
·
Coordination
is the capacity to function in response to each move of a different organ
appropriately.
·
The human body is an organism where this coordination is carried to the
very cells.
·
Though
there are several independent organs in the body, the truth of coordination has
been taken to the very cells so that the whole body can instantaneously respond
to the needs of each cell.
·
Only
that that capacity is held in readiness as a potential and in daily existence
each organ has its way. The BODY
as we
understand it our temporary interests has its way or choice.
·
As
this coordination has matured, it centers itself in the subtle body which is
mainly the subtle physical.
·
The
forester lives in this subtle body a WHOLE life, safely and securely as an animal.
·
This
is the first step in the ascent subtle physical.
·
Consciousness
ascends to Supermind and descends to the body.
·
Subtle
physical as it receives the descent of Supermind is further subtlised to become
the true physical of the Master and the Mother. It is the causal body.
·
The
human body holds all the knowledge of the human evolution in the subconscious
in the cells and is ready to act if the occasion arises.
·
That
is the energy from below.
·
When
the Force comes down, it is this opening that receives it.
·
The
bodily energy held in the subconscious receiving the Force from above turns
into evolutionary energy which can transform. The highest spiritual delight
issues from it.
·
We
find in a client organisation a functioning that results in loss.
·
The
company is dead in parts, alive in other parts, of course negatively.
·
Negative
existence means it exists enough for survival, not to make profits.
·
To
revive the dead parts is to revive the whole organisation.
·
Computerisation
prevents compartmentalization.
·
Any company that fully computerizes uses all available computer
programmes cannot escape expanding five to ten times. Computer companies will
be seen not using computerization in their own administration.
·
A
company is organised in all parts but expresses only one part that it chooses,
as the energy is limited.
·
Presently
companies expand by the market-drive, not driven by the founders energy.
·
In
a client we can computerize fully and that it will do the work fully.
·
We
can bring him to a realisation that he can drive the company on his own,
instead of letting the market drive it.
·
Computerisation
can make a dead organisation LIVE.
·
Look
at your own personality and try to render yourself a living organism which
expresses itself at several points.
·
Surrender
and self-giving will achieve that AIM.
