Peter Principle
Peter Principle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Peter Principle is a belief that in an organization where promotion is based on achievement, success, and merit, that organization's members will eventually be promoted beyond their level of ability.
The principle is commonly phrased, "employees tend to rise to their level of incompetence."
In more formal parlance, the effect could be stated as: employees tend to be given more authorityuntil they cannot continue to work competently. It was formulated by Dr. Laurence J. Peter andRaymond Hull in their 1969 book The Peter Principle, a humorous [1] treatise, which also introduced the "salutary science of hierarchiology."
The principle holds that in a hierarchy, members are promoted so long as they work competently. Eventually they are promoted to a position at which they are no longer competent (their "level of incompetence"), and there they remain, being unable to earn further promotions.
Peter's Corollary states that
"[i]n time, every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out its duties"
2] and adds that "work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence."
"Managing upward" is the concept of a subordinate finding ways to subtly "manage" superiors in order to limit the damage that they end up doing...unquote.

''The first sound of the Rk Veda is "A",
maharishi.....
''The first sound of the Rk Veda is "A", the fullness of flow from an open throat representing the holistic unified value of total knowledge in seed form, expressing the Self (Atma). In the first syllable "Ak", the fullness of "A" comes to a complete stop of flow "k", representing the collapse of infinity to a point.
Silence retains the memory of its point values so this collapse expresses the latent dynamism within silence.
Madhuchhandas, the first seer of Rk Veda, had appreciated that within "A" is the total flow of Veda from its beginning to its end in "I",
that the dynamism of "I" was hidden within "A" by the covering quality of Chhandas, and that the collapse of "A" to "k" occurs in eight somersaults which elaborate Totality in terms of a sequence of eight values of increasing "density" known as 8-fold Prakriti: Ego, Intellect, Mind, Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth.
Maharishi's cognition extended this vision by revealing the detail of how Rk Veda unfolds as a self-elaborating commentary.

ishvar, The Vedic God
The Vedic God
Q: What about the various Gods or Devatas mentioned in Vedas? What about 33 crore Gods?
A: 1. Devatas refers to entities that are useful for us. But nowhere it is mentioned in Vedas that we should worship these entities. Of course, Ishwar is the Devata of Devatas and hence called‘Mahadeva’. He alone is to be worshiped.
2. The Vedas refer to ......not ....33 crore Devatas
but 33 types of Devatas. (Koti in Sanskrit means type or category )They are explained in Shatpath Brahman very clearly. These include –
............8 Vasus (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Sky, Moon, Sun, Stars/ Planets) that form components of universe where we live,
...........10 Life Forces in our body or Prana (Prana, Apana, Vyana, Udana, Samaana, Naga, Kurma, Kukala, Devadatta) and 1 Soul called Rudra,
............12 Aditya or months of year,
..............1 Vidyut or Electromagnetic force that is of tremendous use to us
..............1 Yajna or constant noble selfless deeds done by humans

..............1 Yajna or constant noble selfless deeds done by humans
The master of these 33 types of Devatas is the Mahadeva or Ishwar who alone is to be worshiped as per 14th Kanda of Shatpath Brahman.
The concept of 33 Devatas is a great research based subject in itself and requires in-depth study for proper understanding. However, it has been made very clear in all Vedic texts that they are NOT Ishwar and hence NOT to be worshipped.
3. Ishwar has huge number of properties. Ignorant people wrongly consider these properties of Ishwar to be different Ishwars.
for example, in two headlines – One refers as Modi, and other as Narendra. That does not mean India has two Prime Ministers!

4. To dispel such confusions, there are several mantras in Vedas that clearly state that there is One and Only One Ishwar without any assistants, agents, prophets or juniors to liaison between Him and Us. For example:
Yajurveda 40.1:
This entire world is embedded within and managed by the One and Only One Ishwar. Never dare do any injustice or desire riches through unjust means. Instead follow the righteous path and enjoy His bliss. After all He alone is source of all bliss!

Rigveda 10.48.1:
Ishwar alone is omnipresent and manager of entire universe. He alone provides victory and eternal cause of world. All souls should look up only to Him in same manner as children look up to their Father. He alone provides for our sustenance and bliss.

Rigveda 10.48.5
Ishwar enlightens the entire world. He is undefeated and undying. He is the creator of the world. All souls should seek bliss through seeking knowledge and acting thereupon. They should never shun the friendship of Ishwar.

Rigveda 10.49.1
Ishwar alone provides true knowledge to truth seekers. He alone is promoter of knowledge and motivates virtuous people into noble actions to seek bliss. He alone is the creator and manager of the world. Hence never worship anyone else except one and only Ishwar.

Yajurveda 13.4
There is One and only One Creator and Maintainer of the entire world. He alone is sustaining the earth, sky and other heavenly bodies. He is Bliss Himself! He alone deserves to be worshipped by us.

Atharvaveda 13.4.16-21
He is neither two, nor three, nor four, nor five, nor six, nor seven, nor eight, nor nine, nor ten. He is, on contrary, One and Only One. There is no Ishwar except Him. All devatas reside within Him and are controlled by Him. So He alone should be worshipped, none else.

Atharvaveda 10.7.38Ishwar alone is greatest and worth being worshipped. He is the source of all knowledge and activities.
Yajurveda 32.11
Ishwar resides at each point in universe. No space is devoid of Him. He is self-sustaining and does not need help of any agent, angel, prophet or incarnation to perform His duties. The soul which is able to realize this One and only One Ishwar achieves Him and enjoys unconditional ultimate bliss or Moksha.

There are innumerable such mantras in Vedas that explain One and Only One Ishwar and instructs us to worship Him directly without invoking any other entity – Incarnation, Prophet, Angel or Agent.
