10th September 2021 is the beginning of a Jain festival called Das Lakshan Parva – a festival that marks 10 Virtues over a period of 10 days.

I used to visit the temple during these 10 days with my father and listen to a few lectures at the temple. The lectures would make me feel good but I could not draw any connection between them and my daily life. A few years ago, I was searching for a framework from Indian scriptures in relation to where deep knowledge has been made repeatable. I found the answer in Paryushan Parva, where Jains celebrate 10 principles of a high-performance life over 10 days when they are completely committed to learning.

In this series of audio podcasts, I will try to cover the 10 virtues similar to habits of effective leadership on a daily basis for the next 10 days.

This year, the Nobel Prize for Physics and the Noble Prize for Chemistry are on two ends of the spectrum. The Physics Nobel Prize was given to the discovery of the Black Hole and for Chemistry it was given for the Genome Editing Technology CRISPR.

It’s the infinite power of the human mind to go and discover something which is 26,000 light years away from us. Each light year means 9 trillion km i.e. 26,000 X 9 X 1000,000,000,000 km away. Black hole means where the force of gravity is so strong that it pulls light as well.

It’s the power of the human mind that can also go into the minutest to minutest size of chromosomes and then sequence 3 billion base pairs. They measure this in a unit called nanometers which is 1 divided by 1000,000,000.

In Design Thinking, there are 2 competencies that are important which help in ‘Connecting the dot’ i.e. Perspective which is about seeing from a distance and the second is about Expertise, which is about going into micro details. Today, I am amazed to see the infinite capacity of the human mind to traverse from 26000 lights years to nanometers to solve the complex nature of the universe.
