Working Definition of Sustainability: Sustainability is a dynamic state of deep relationships among the people and all the constituents both living and non living within a micro ecological unit that strongly values the acts of sacrifice and love for each other; where the priority is to strengthen the weak and where the spirit of high external cooperation and high internal competition not only drives its own ecological unit to eternal peace, joy and happiness but also inspires other micro ecological units for such deeper inter relationships.
Basic Unit: The micro ecological unit of the global ecosystem is the basic unit; which could consist of a micro watershed, a village, cluster of villages or a cluster of habitations. Logic: If the basic unit of an ecosystem is healthy; the whole ecosystem shall be healthy. As every micro ecological unit will have its own characteristics, solutions and approaches that are context specific and not general in nature shall be the approach that can lead to overall sustainability. Focal Point: Within the micro ecological unit, the priority is always to strengthen the weakest person or family within the micro ecological unit. Logic: The logic of the systems theory that is the strength of a chain is the strength of the weakest link is applicable. Further, it is also strategic to stabilize the most volatile actor, the human actor within a given ecosystem to ascertain peace and harmony in the ecosystem. Holistic: Convergence and integration of different internal perspectives and external perspectives at the micro ecological unit. The internal perspectives include philosophical-moral-behavioral perspectives. The external perspectives include political-policy-legal perspectives, technological-innovation perspective, and organizational-Institutional-systems perspectives. Logic: Convergence and integration of multiple perspectives brings out several complexities and frictions if we were to negotiate them in a larger ecosystem or at the national or global level. However, at a level of micro-ecological unit, convergence and integration of these perspectives are feasible; a process that could be synthesized at the subsequent levels. Value Base: The acts of love and sacrifice for the others in the micro ecological unit is the basis for strong bonding and inter personal relationships with deep trust and cooperation among each other. Logic: The acts of love and sacrifice for the others have the power to heal the pain, remove the tensions of integration, simplify the complexities of convergence and integration, and complete the incompleteness in human rationality. The synergies arising out of the acts of love and sacrifice can yield eternal growth and development within a micro ecological unit. When the same value base drives the other micro ecological units, the global ecosystem can become sustainable.
