WHAT IS MISSING ?
An article that explains why Steven Covey and Jim Rohn need to be amended by Srila Prabhupadas quote "Religion without philosophy is sentiment, or sometimes fanaticism, while philosophy without religion is mental speculation"
Our small todays dilemma is connected to, according to me most closely honored and most closely approached authors to the main and essential connection of Business ( Knowledge – Philosophy ) and Spirituality ( Religion ), Steven Covey and Jim Rohn.
Steven Covey talks about Seven Principles of highly effective people, all seven habits are spiritual, Be proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, Put First thing First,..., Synergize,..., Sharpen the Saw physical, emotional, spiritual and mental approach to our personality. Excellent way of introducing spiritual principles to people, very nice.
On the other hand Jim Rohn’s way of approaching people and his listeners is very very personal and emotional, not cruel today's philosophy of business. His very famous quote is “Learn to teach, Teach to Learn” and many more.
Jim Rohn's book Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle, published in 1991, was built around what he considered the five components of success:
Philosophy - how you think
Attitude - how you feel
Action - what you do
Results - measure often to see if you are making progress
Lifestyle - the kind of life you can make for yourself out of the first four pieces
So he talks about philosophy, how we feel or something connected to our senses actually mind and again has holistic approach to our life in a little bit different way.
Both of them have very deep points, very logical, that touch person’s heart but still something is missing ?
We see that what is missing in both of this very similar authors, where personalism is very important, although each of them explains same things in different way is explained by the transcedental quote of HDG Srila Prabhupada: "Religion without philosophy is sentiment, or sometimes fanaticism, while philosophy without religion is mental speculation"
What does that mean ? It means that both authors have clear philosophical and practical points but what is missing is religion ( main connection to the spring of all that knowledge ) that classifies their philosophy like mental speculation, that is a strong but very logical conclusion.
The main point also is: It is SC and JR philosophy that brought practical result to many people. Yes, but who stands behind this knowledge. Them or the "universe" = God ?
According to this SP Quote, if we want to explain what it means for the man itself, the meaning is "The capability in man is God ". So that means that Philosophy where we don’t give the credit to “universe” = God is mental speculation. Mental speculation to my view point is Something made by our mind in a moment of great inspiration and good to great practical result but with no essential background where "universe" = God is the central figure !?!
