I am always confused about the choice lessness that spiritual leaders talk about. Some new age leaders say to make a choice and the universe will help you manifest it. Today, I got some clarity—it’s not about choice, but about preference. If my choice isn’t fulfilled, I might get frustrated or make extreme decisions. With preference, there is no issue. I am fine if what I prefer happens, and fine if it doesn’t. It’s simply my preference. For example, I prefer to be rich so that I have all the resources for whatever I intend to do. My inner energy aligns with this thought, but spiritual leaders say riches are bad. Riches might lead some to bad habits, unnecessary luxury, or strange deeds, but you can't generalize and make being poor a qualification for spiritual seekers. There are people like me who can use riches in the best possible way. We shouldn’t create generic rules, as they suppress the good side of riches along with the bad—just like antibiotics or modern water filters that...

 Just like online game is meant to experience creativity of a team, everything in this world are meant to experience and all of them are the result of creativity of you and me. You and me are often clouded by some level of ego and that reflects in our creations giving dual experiences like happy or sorrow. All the systems in this world are our creations - marriage, career, education, entertainment, philosophies, religions, nature, spiritual practices and even the gods. All these are meant to experience** and they never give you enlightenment or consistent joy or peace. Joy or peace is our true nature. We are intact even though we get worried, tensed, hurried while playing the online game and eventually be returned to ourselves when we stop the game. Similarly, our true nature of joy is intact even though we are lost in the moment with the pursuits of various systems to experience in the world like marriage, career, education, entertainment, philosophies, religions, nature, spiritua...

 On the surface, a lion killing a deer looks evil, but for some reason, it is necessary. In the same way, we often feel anger towards certain leaders, a nagging spouse, or troublemakers at work who seem to be doing negative things—but perhaps they, too, serve a purpose. Such tough situations in my life pushed me to find solutions, and whatever wisdom I have today is the result of those efforts. I enjoy getting to the root of things, and in a way, all those so-called troublemakers helped set me on an interesting path in life. There is really no such thing as purely negative or evil; positive or good; these experiences create the conditions for us to think and discover the hidden treasures within ourselves. Even positive things, like the beauty of nature or love received from someone, create the conditions for us to discover the hidden treasures within ourselves. We see ourselves as victims in some situations if we don’t catch this point, and we can easily fall into the dark path of ...

 Caution – This is my opinion and I have exaggerated to catch your attention and make you think. Man and woman are different. Nature has created them differently to meet different needs. Other than a few visible factors, I don't know all the reasons considered by nature while giving them different bodies. Beyond physical bodies, they would have different mental perceptions of reality. This is very subjective and perhaps better not discussed in this short article. In the present times, under the name of equality, woman is being transformed into man. She is being equipped with skills that only men used to have. What I notice is, there hasn’t been much change on the man’s side, as this movement is primarily meant to uplift women. What kind of attraction will exist between man and man? I mean, woman is now, in effect, becoming a man. Practicality is a typical trait of men. Love and affection is a typical trait of women. Now, both partners are practical. The balance of practicality and ...
