 "Like the gears of a watch, society's hidden systems turn, shaping our lives and binding us to their predetermined patterns." As I caught sight of a mechanical watch, I marveled at the intricate workings of the wheels. Each wheel, in turn, set off a chain reaction, causing another to rotate, creating a mesmerizing display of interconnected motion. I couldn't help but admire the complexity of the engineering and the skill of the artist who orchestrated it all. Simultaneously, a sense of permanence washed over me, realizing that these wheels would forever run in their predetermined pattern. But what if this perpetual motion extended to humans? I pondered how systems have emerged on our planet, exerting their influence over the actions and behaviors of individuals, establishing certain patterns. The patterns in society today are evident, and it feels as if we too are becoming mechanical, like the wheels in the watch, endlessly repeating known patterns instead of creatin...

 This is in continuation to the article on impersonal world . In the realm of realization, relationships dissolve, leaving only the pure essence of unconditional love. For those who have achieved realization, meaning their mind has discovered the true self or higher self, relationships cannot exist. When the mind is identified with a physical body, it perceives many other bodies, and that is where relationships can form. However, for realized individuals, the mind does not identify with a specific body. Instead, it simply witnesses it along with other bodies, without assigning any special status to any of them. From the perspective of the higher self, there are no separate entities, and therefore, relationships are not possible. In the life of a realized person, there will still be men, women, and many others, but they are seen as part of the unfolding events with no special attachment. The realized individual responds to them with utmost sincerity and unconditional love, with no i...

 "Embrace your higher self, for it holds the key to unity and harmony in a world filled with conflicts." I can clearly sense that there are two beings within me. One is the mind, and the other is beyond the mind. Let's refer to the latter as the higher self or true self. Usually, the mind assumes the role of the Self, creating a state known as false ego. In this state, the mind takes ownership of the body and makes all the decisions based on its acquired knowledge. It primarily operates for the comfort of the body and its attachments, such as family and friends. The mind expects the events in the world to be favorable to the body it identifies with. This makes the world completely personal in the sense that every event is judged from the perspective of the body to which mind identified with and labels them as good/bad. However, when the mind realizes the higher self, it becomes a tool for the higher self to interact with the world. It no longer identifies with any particu...

 I observed two contrasting viewpoints during a heated discussion between a couple.  The first side emphasized financial stability and spending quality time with family for inner peace. They believed in balancing work and family harmoniously.  The second side stressed the significance of individual talents, believing that everyone has a unique gift from God that should be expressed. They argued that relationships should support and encourage each other’s abilities for personal growth, which ultimately brings happiness and peace.  The first side did not recognize the value of uniqueness bestowed by God and believed it should be sacrificed for the sake of family, prioritizing the family above all else. It is primarily focusing on survival. The second side felt that their life was hijacked and they had no time to express themselves, which they enjoyed the most.  One side focuses too much on survival while the other side focuses on achieving something through self-e...

  Our stories are the snapshots of our souls, capturing the essence of our journey and inspiring others to find their own path. I have observed that many successful authors wrote about the vivid experiences they have encountered in their lives. Some authors, like Jack London, embarked on daring adventures, sailing through the vast oceans in search of more experiences to create more captivating content. When we look at those experiences personally, from our perspective, they evoke a range of emotions, such as happiness, sadness, excitement, fear, and more. By packaging these experiences together in our book, we can captivate the audience’s attention, as they too have lived through similar experiences within the same timeline. Without these experiences, we wouldn’t possess such an extensive collection of books and literature.  Even in our day-to-day lives, with its intricate complexities of meeting ends, managing relationships, and navigating through political and religious vuln...

 Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti Reference: https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/30268.U_G_Krishnamurti To be yourself requires extraordinary intelligence. You are blessed with that intelligence; nobody need give it to you; nobody can take it away from you. He who lets that express itself in its own way is a "Natural Man" Society has put before you the ideal of a 'perfect man'. No matter in which culture you were born, you have scriptural doctrines and traditions handed down to you to tell you how to behave. You are told that through due practice you can even eventually come into the state attained by the sages, saints and saviors of mankind. And so you try to control your behavior, to control your thoughts, to be something unnatural. “What is morality? It is not the following of enjoined rules of conduct. It is not a question of standing above temptations, or of conquering hate, anger, greed, lust and violence. Questioning your actions before and after creates the mo...
