Wilderness

 Love is about sharing what we have with others for their benefit. I’m mentioning this here because the entire article is about love.


“The suppression of love creates a dam within, unleashing destructive forces when the gates burst open.”

When human emotions, particularly the feeling of love, are suppressed, it creates a blockage of energy within. It’s like the way water flow is obstructed when all gates are closed in a dam, causing immense pressure. Eventually, the mind reaches a breaking point, which varies from person to person. At this stage, it becomes disturbed and loses its tenderness in dealing with relationships. Eventually, this would lead to disastrous decision-making, such as the initiation of wars,  destruction of nature and many more.

I once heard someone mention that the reason Vietnam, a small country, could triumph over the mighty United States Army was because the people of Vietnam had suppressed their emotions, particularly love, because of the constant struggle for survival caused by poverty. The pent-up energy found an outlet through war, and the intensity with which they fought far surpassed that of the US Army.

India was once a highly cultured society. Their focus was on leading fulfilling lives rather than engaging in conflicts. Consequently, their military capabilities weakened, leaving them vulnerable to invasions by other armies. As a general rule, barbaric nations often have an advantage in wars against cultured or wealthy countries.

If we observe the world around us, we can see that individuals who are poor and constantly striving to make ends meet often lack the time to cultivate their minds with positive emotions like love. Similarly, extremely wealthy individuals have access to endless opportunities to explore the world around are left with little time to nurture their emotional well-being. In both cases, they may become wild, resulting in violent actions.

As a rule, anyone fully occupied with day-to-day activities (they can be politicians, businessmen, employees, anyone), often finds themselves with no time to feel human emotions resulting in stressed relations and also the decisions they make result in disasters.

Prosperity

 Life often keeps us busy with survival or luxury pursuits that distract us from our true potential. Like a banyan tree hidden within a tiny seed, your potential is vast waiting to sprout when given space through silence. This silence allows us to reconnect with ourselves, experience joy without reason, and contribute authentically to the world’s evolution.  The Busy Lives of the Poor For those living in poverty, life revolves around survival. Their days are consumed by earning bread, securing shelter, and meeting basic needs. Their minds are constantly focused on activities necessary for survival, leaving little room for reflection or exploration. Life demands their full attention, and the luxury of pausing to think about deeper aspects of existence is often out of reach. The Rich and Their Pursuit of Luxury The rich, on the other hand, are free from survival struggles but face a different kind of challenge. Their lives are often influenced by societal expectations and corpor...

Solution to all problems

“The solution to conflict lies not within the problem, but in shifting our focus to something that genuinely interests us.” Most conflicts are subjective, making it difficult to provide a generic solution. This is especially true in relationships, where arguments become complicated as each person speaks from their own perspective, trying to persuade the other. Finding a complete solution while being immersed in the problem is nearly impossible. The solution lies outside of the problem, not within it. Insisting on finding a solution while still in the midst of the problem only serves to drag you deeper into it, much like quicksand (oobi in telugu). The solution lies not in finding solid ground within the quicksand, but in clutching onto something stable outside, using it to pull yourself out. This outside handle, in the realm of conflicts, is action. Allocate a few hours or even days, creating a timeline within which to tackle the problems head-on. Take any and all actions within your p...

Superhero | Divine Dance | Rasa Leela

The one. One is in all irrespective of whether we recognise it. When someone allows it to express itself, its immense power becomes evident, their unique skill gets illuminated to its fullest extent. That skill can encompass a wide range of possibilities, such as poetry, warriorship, cooking, singing, engineering, medicine, hospitality, and more. When someone is confined to their physical senses, they perceive themselves solely as a physical entity. That is the case with most of us. Since our consciousness is confined to physical bodies, we tend to perceive thoughts of immense power as physical beings like superheroes, and we create the image of a hero who will come and rescue us. In reality, this immense power is to illuminate the distinctive features hidden in everyone. The main purpose of creation is not to generate a superheroe, but rather to manifest itself through every individual, highlighting their unique qualities to the fullest extent, thus evoking a sense of super-heroism in...
