Vedanta vs Atheism

A father had a small conversation with his five year old daughter.

Dad: I have NOG!
Daughter: Where is it?
Dad: You can't see it. It is invisible.
Daughter: Can I touch it?
Dad: It cannot be felt by the skin. It is untouchable.
Daughter: Can I smell it?
Dad: It has no smell.
Daughter: Can I hear it?
Dad: Nope.
Daughter: Can I taste it?
Dad: It is tasteless.
Daughter: Describe NOG to me.
Dad: NOG is so subtle that is beyond thoughts. Your thoughts cannot think of it. NOG is beyond understanding of humans.
Daughter: What does NOG do?
Dad: Nothing.
Daughter: There is no NOG.

Children are unbiased; they tend to arrive at truth sooner than biased adults.
Vedanta is traditional Hindu philosophy. Vedanta says God (Brahman) cannot be seen, touched, smelt, heard or tasted. God is beyond mind and intellect. So humans cannot think about it or understand it. God is doerless (akarta) i.e. God does not perform any action.
Atheism says there is no God.
What then is the difference between Vedanta and Atheism? None, as far as our behavior in this world is concerned. So the comparison, "Vedanta vs Atheism", is meaningless. What really matters in this world is, "Is the person virtuous?"
A virtuous person, sooner or later, thinks "Who am I?" In meditation (both a Vedantin and Atheist) experience the answer. Then again, there is no difference between the two.

RBI drops interest rates

Today RBI dropped interest rates by 0.5%. In India M3 money supply or inflation is 11.2%, during the last 12 months, as per RBI. Dropping interest rates means higher inflation. So was dropping interest rates the right action?

There is deflation in the world. Governments hate deflation because it means lesser tax revenues. Foolish people hate defaltion because their income falls. Smart people like deflation because the purchasing power of their existing currency rises.

Governments all over the world e.g. Russia, Brazil, Venenzuala, etc and now India combat deflation by devaluing their currency; lower interest rates means that currency will become less valuable. Inflation is a form theft; it steals from savers to the benefit of debtors. The only way to protect yourself is by investing in physical assets like gold and silver.
