Bootstrap Your Inner Journey - Part 1
I had the opportunity to speak to the crypto community at the Zo House in Bangalore on Thursday,May 4th on a rainy evening as part of the mental health awareness month.

For the benefit of folks who could not make it to the event, I’m sharing some of the notes I had put together to prepare for this talk. This is part 1. Let me breakdown the words in the title. Why “Swiss army knife”? ...

Don't Struggle With Leisure
Sometime last year, I took few days off. I did not go anywhere. I did not do anything that fits the classic definition of a vacation.

So the three of us, anxiety, boredom and I sat together quietly - clouds changing shape and butterflies chasing each other in the meantime. While I did some light reading on and off, for the most part I did nothin...

Your Title Is A Delusion
Swami Ranganathananda in his book “Universal Message Of The Bhagavad Gita” quotes from a book titled “The Science Of Life” by H.G Wells, G.P Wells and Julian Huxley:“Personality (centered in the ego) may be only one of nature’s methods, a convenient provisional delusion of considerable strategic value.”To proclaim with such conviction that the “thing” (our personality) that seems so real, so close, so visceral and so central is a “provisional delusion” - temporary and unreal, is both bewilder...

The Fundamental Error
The Inadequate Life“A human being sees himself as a deficient person. His constant, compulsive pursuits make his sense of inadequacy evident.” So begins the book titled “Introduction To Vedanta - Understanding the fundamental problem” by Swami Dayananda.

The Sky In-between
Experiment with silence. Specifically, experiment with pauses. Pausing is powerful. Pausing creates space - it is the sky in-between. It is there that you really connect with others. It is there that you connect with yourself. Silence is the crucible for inner progress. Doesn’t matter if it is righteous indignation or unwarranted anger, pause and ask yourself:Do I need to say something?Do I need to say it now?How do I say it kindly?Subscribe
