The Money Trap: Are You Looking for Money or Trying to Prove Your Worth?

The Money Trap: Are You Looking for Money or Trying to Prove Your Worth? The Shoonya Code | A Conversation with Dr. Parth and Arohi ### Scene 1: The Dilemma Arohi: Dr. Parth, I have a question. Right now, I want money, but honestly, I don't know how to make it. I'm doing business, but it's not performing well. I have qualifications, but because of so much competition, I'm unable to get the kind of job I really want. At this point, I just want a job that pays me well. But I don't want to study anymore. I'm tired of studying. What should I do? Dr. Parth: So, essentially, you want money. Right? Arohi: Yes. Dr. Parth: And you also want status in society? Arohi: Yes. Dr. Parth: Now tell me something. What do you want more? Money or status? Arohi: Both! Dr. Parth: (Smiles.) Both! Wonderful. You want to become rich and respectable simultaneously. But let's look at something. When you were a child, do you remember how you used to laugh, jump around and enjoy life? D...

Addiction: The Search for Freedom That Becomes Another Prison

Addiction: The Search for Freedom That Becomes Another Prison                       A conversation with Dr. Parth | AMRQH® Understanding addiction through human emotions, attachment, conditioning, identity and the possibility of inner freedom. Participant: Dr. Parth, why does someone continue consuming alcohol or drugs even when they know it is destroying their life? They know the consequences, their family knows the consequences, sometimes they even promise themselves that they will never do it again. Yet they return to it. Why? Dr. Parth: Because knowing something is harmful and being free from it are two different things. You may know that anger is harmful, yet become angry. You may know that worrying changes nothing, yet continue worrying. Similarly, someone may know that alcohol is damaging their health, relationships and future, yet continue drinking. The question is, what is that person actually looking for? Sometimes, they a...

Employment should also become a pathway for development, not merely a reward for passing an examination.

THE QUESTION DEV (Host): "Prabhat Kalita Sir, how do you see the future of our educated youth? In Assam, we have thousands of educated but unemployed young people. Many have master's degrees, PhDs and professional qualifications. Yet, because of limited infrastructure, fewer employment opportunities and a lack of platforms, they are struggling to find meaningful work. At the same time, competition is becoming increasingly intense. Where do you think we are going wrong? And what needs to change?" DR. PRABHAT KALITA: We have taught them how to compete for opportunities. We have not done enough to create opportunities for them. "See, Dev, I think we need to look at this problem from a different perspective. Today, particularly in India, we are largely following a traditional pass-or-fail competitive examination and recruitment system. Now, this system has its own purpose, and I am not against it. But it also has certain limitations. Let me explain." THE ...

ARE WOMEN JUST THE BODY?

ARE WOMEN JUST THE BODY? A conversation on gender, identity, society and human consciousness Arohi: Parth, are women just the body? Parth: (Smiles mischievously) I will not comment on what your experience has been. Hahaha! Arohi: (Laughs) No, Parth! I am asking something serious. In a patriarchal society, a woman is often seen merely as a body. Her appearance, beauty, sexuality, the way she dresses. But a woman is so much more than her body, isn't she? Parth: Well, whether you are the body or the being, I am nobody to comment on that. But your experience of yourself says a great deal about it. See, let us first understand something very fundamental. What does the body seek? Food, reproduction, physical comfort, protection and a few necessities to sustain itself. These are biological dimensions of life. But human beings have the possibility of experiencing life beyond these dimensions. One person may live entirely around food. Another may spend their entire life acquir...

Beyond the Body and Mind: Why True Yoga Begins with Your Relationship with Life

Beyond the Body and Mind: Why True Yoga Begins with Your Relationship with Life This conversation has the potential to become one of the most powerful episodes of The Shoonya Code because it moves through three dimensions: A person's extraordinary experience of transcending bodily sensations. Why meditation without understanding relationships, life and participation can become isolation. Why a neurologist must understand life, humanity and relationships—not merely prescribe medicines. A conversation with Dr. Parth on transcendence, loneliness, human relationships and the deeper meaning of health What if the peace we experience in meditation is not something we need to escape into, but something we must learn to live with—even with our eyes open? During a conversation with Dr. Parth, Ryan Mehta recalled an experience that had left a profound impression on him. He described a moment during a meditation session when he was sitting still, without any particular effort or expectation. A...

The Mind Is Deeper Than Psychology: Understanding Mental Health, Awareness and Inner Transformation

The Mind Is Deeper Than Psychology: Understanding Mental Health, Awareness and Inner Transformation By NIMHNY — Nalbari Institute of Mental Health, Neurosciences and Yoga An AMRQH® Group of Institutions initiative Introduction: Is Mental Health Only About How We Think and Feel? When we speak about mental health, we often think about our thoughts, emotions, behaviour, and psychological stability. We want to feel peaceful, think clearly, manage our emotions, and respond to life's challenges in healthier ways. Psychology plays an essential role in this process. It helps us understand how we think, feel, and behave, and provides valuable approaches to managing emotional difficulties, psychological distress, and behavioural challenges. However, there is another important question worth exploring: Do we consciously understand everything that influences the way we think, feel, and experience life? Consider a simple experience. You wake up one morning feeling uneasy. Nothing partic...
