reshuffling the deck
Note: I’ve decided I want to use this space to create a digital garden (more on this later). For now, I just want to put it out there that I’m reclaiming this space for that purpose, which means there will be some design changes happening over the coming days and...

Ashtavakra: The Sage of Uncompromising Wisdom
When we think of sages and seers, we often imagine serene figures, bathed in a soft glow of otherworldly wisdom, spouting calm aphorisms under the shade of a bodhi tree. But Ashtavakra defies that image in the most unexpected way. His story, both in its origin and its teachings, is...

In darkness lies potential
In the beginning, before the first spark of light split the void, there was only darkness—endless, deep, and quiet. It cradled the universe in its embrace like a mother holding the promise of all things yet to come. This darkness was not empty, not a void of nothingness, but a...

Moving into the unknown
A person who is alive—really alive, vitally alive—will always move into the unknown. What does it mean to be truly alive? Not just existing, not just going through the motions, but being vitally alive—alive with energy, curiosity, and a zest for life? The answer lies in our relationship with the...

The Dance of the Mind: Exploring Brainwave Entrainment
The Dance of the Mind: Exploring Brainwave Entrainment In the quiet recesses of our minds, beneath the chatter of daily thoughts and the buzz of modern life, there lies a rhythmic pulse. This pulse, our brainwaves, is a symphony of electrical activity, ebbing and flowing through various states of consciousness....

Don’t try to understand life. Live it! We often find ourselves tangled in a web of questions, searching for meaning, seeking answers, and trying to understand the complexities of life. We read, we ponder, we analyse, hoping that if we could just understand it all, we might find peace. But...

It is your fear that makes you a slave. When you are fearless, you are no longer a slave. Fear. It’s a word that carries a heavy burden, a word that has the power to control us, to limit us, to enslave us. We often think of slavery as something...

Either change or don’t change
Change isn’t something we put off for tomorrow, a vague promise we make to ourselves in the quiet moments when guilt or aspiration hits. Change is a demand made by the present moment, an uncompromising whisper that says, “Now or never.” There’s no room for “I will, I will.” That’s...

The Inner Beat of Intuition
There’s a rhythm inside each of us, a subtle, yet potent pulse that often goes unnoticed amidst the clamour of daily life. It’s not the steady cadence of a heartbeat or the mechanical ticking of a clock, but rather the inner beat of intuitive feeling—a silent drum that guides us...

When Here Becomes Everywhere and Now Becomes Always
There is a moment in the spiritual journey when the familiar boundaries of our world begin to dissolve. We find ourselves no longer confined to the smallness of here and the fleetingness of now. Instead, these once-limited concepts expand into something vast, something boundless. When here becomes Everywhere and now...

Thoughts intrude, like unwelcome guests at a party. We’ve all been there: in the midst of a peaceful moment or a productive task, when suddenly, a thought barges in, uninvited and disruptive. It could be a worry about the future, a memory of the past, or a random, nagging concern....

Daily Note: August 10, 2024
Attachment to beliefs is the greatest shackle. To be free is to know that one does not know. In the quiet moments of our lives, when the noise of the world fades away, we are often left with the thoughts and beliefs that shape our reality. These beliefs, while comforting,...

The space that fills the small pot is the same as the space that fills the large pot. Today’s thought comes to us wrapped in simplicity, yet it contains a depth that resonates with the very essence of being. On the surface, this might seem like a statement of the...

don’t let your past be your prison
We often wander back to moments that once were, seeking to grasp them with the longing hands of memory. This nostalgic journey can evoke a lot of emotions, but does it border on vanity to desire what is irretrievably past? Nostalgia is a human response. It’s a sentimental yearning for...
