Silence beyond the Observer

Meditation is not disturbed by the noise in your head. It is disturbed by the one who is trying to stop it. The moment you sit, the mind divides itself. One part becomes the chatter. Another part becomes the controller. And you quietly take the side of the controller and call it “me.” You think you are watching your thoughts. But the watcher is also a thought — only more organized, more disciplined, more respectable. As Ramana  once said, the mind trying to control the mind is like a thief wearing a policeman’s uniform. He will investigate seriously. He will chase sincerely. But he will never arrest himself. The spiritual ego is not noisy — it is refined. It sits straight, breathes slow, speaks softly… yet it remains the same prison. So the question is not how to silence the mind. The question is — who wants silence? Instead of watching thoughts, turn the attention around. Not outward, not inward — backward. Ask, “Who is this ‘I’ that is aware?” Do not answer. If you answer, the mi...

Destiny Is Not Fixed — It Is a Movement You Must Participate In

Destiny Is Not Fixed — It Is a Movement You Must Participate In Most people believe destiny is something that comes to them. Something written. Something imposed. Something that “happens.” But if destiny were truly fixed, your consciousness would be irrelevant. Your effort would be meaningless. Your choice would be unnecessary. And yet, every day you choose. You plan. You react. You resist. You aspire. So clearly, destiny is not a rigid script. What people call destiny is often just a refined word for helplessness. When life feels overwhelming, it is convenient to say, “It is my destiny.” This becomes a subtle insurance policy against responsibility. But existence does not operate on your excuses. Destiny or Tendencies? Look closely at your life. You wake up, follow certain habits, drink your coffee or tea according to preference, go to work, react to situations, and return home. If destiny were fixed, this pattern should repeat identically for years. But it doesn’t. One day the coffee...

Shoonya and Shiva

Shoonya — The Mathematics of the Boundless Human intellect has always tried to grasp existence by measuring it. We measured distance and called it space. We measured motion and called it time. We measured vibration and called it energy. We measured complexity and called it life. But there comes a point where measurement itself reaches its boundary. Beyond that boundary begins what the yogic sciences call Shoonya . Not Nothingness — But That Which Cannot Be Contained Shoonya is often translated as nothingness . This is a mistake born out of language. Nothingness cannot exist. If it truly existed, it would already be something . Shoonya is not the absence of existence — it is the absence of definable qualities. When you look at the sky, you call it empty. Yet that emptiness holds stars, radiation, gravity, dark matter, expansion — an entire cosmos moves within it. So emptiness is not non-existence. It is a perceived vastness. And because it is perceived, it can be studied. You can speak...

Not Becoming More — But Becoming Boundless

Beyond the Pyramid: From Survival to Liberation An Insight into Human Needs and the Possibility Beyond Them In modern psychology, human life is often described as a pyramid of needs — beginning with food and shelter, rising through safety, love, esteem, and culminating in what is called self-actualization. It is a structured understanding of human aspiration. As a social and psychological framework, it serves a purpose. But the question is — is this the ultimate possibility of a human being? The Foundation: Survival Physiological and safety needs form the base of the pyramid. Food, rest, physical security — these are not luxuries; they are fundamental. If the body is in distress, higher aspirations naturally fade into the background. Survival is the first concern. Yet survival is not the goal of life. It is only the platform. If all your intelligence is invested in securing survival, you may live long — but you may not live deeply. The Psychological Layers: Belonging and Esteem Once th...

Does Wealth Corrupt — or Does It Reveal?

Does Wealth Corrupt — or Does It Reveal? An Inquiry into Power, Fulfillment, and Human Consciousness There is a growing narrative in modern discourse: When a human being becomes extremely wealthy — when survival and psychological needs are fully met — degeneration is inevitable. The assumption is simple: abundance breeds excess, power breeds abuse, and fulfillment of basic needs leads to moral collapse. But is this truly so? Or are we mistaking the symptom for the source? When Survival Is No Longer the Question For most of humanity, life revolves around survival — food, security, identity, validation. Even ambition often arises from subtle insecurity. When these needs are satisfied, one might assume peace would naturally follow. Instead, for many, a different phenomenon emerges — restlessness. Why? Because the human longing is not merely for comfort. It is for boundlessness. If this longing is misunderstood, it may express itself as domination, indulgence, or psychological excess. Not ...

Depression Is Not Sadness — It Is a Withdrawal from Life

Depression is Not Sadness — It Is a Withdrawal from Life Today, many people casually say, “I feel depressed.” But depression is not just feeling sad for a few hours or days. Sadness is an emotion. Depression is a reduction of life participation. It is a state where a human being slowly begins to feel: “Ab kya fayda?” (What is the point anymore?) From “Ab Kya Hoga?” to “Ab Kya Fayda?” When the mind is restless about the future, it asks: “Ab kya hoga?” This is anxiety. But when the system loses its inner fire, the question changes to: “Ab kya fayda?” This is depression. One is fear of the future. The other is withdrawal from life itself. Depression Is Not Pain — It Is Numbness If you are in pain, at least you are responsive. There is still life moving within you. Depression is different. It is not intense suffering. It is absence of involvement . A person may say: “Kuch mehsoos hi nahi hota.” “Kuch karne ka mann nahi karta.” “Bas rehne do.” This is not emotional weakness. This is reduced...

Disease - The Loss of Human Capacity, Order, and Adaptive Intelligence

Stress is a state of inner friction . Inner friction means one part of you wants one thing, another part wants something else, and life is doing a third thing. So inside you, there is pull, tension, resistance—like two gears grinding instead of moving smoothly. When Capacity Declines, Disease Emerges It happens when the body, mind, and life situation are not in alignment with the present moment . In simple terms: Stress is not caused by life. Stress is caused by your inability to respond to life without resistance. At the body level Stress appears when the nervous system stays in survival mode —tight muscles, shallow breathing, disturbed sleep, hormonal imbalance. The body is preparing for a threat that often doesn’t exist right now. At the mind level Stress is excessive involvement with memory and imagination . You are either replaying what has already happened or worrying about what might happen—while missing what is happening. At the energy level Stress is blocked flow . Life ener...
