Just Observation

 In order to keep yourself sane, you must understand Life and if you don't, you have to go insane at some point in your life.

You can understand Life only by neutral and just observation of it. And by merely observing the life, you will come to understand the futility of any and every thought, action or feeling. Just the mere observation will expose the futility of existence and then, happens what we call "Existential crisis". This can be the most beautiful event or the worst nightmare that can happen to you. Make it a beautiful event by sharpening your observation skills. And eventually in the process will come a moment in the heightened state of consciousness, that the observer is dissolved and becomes non-existent. Now what remains is what is observed. This is a state of non-duality of existence. 

This, Shankaracharya calls, Advaita, which is the ultimate reality. 

In words of Krishnamurthy sir, this is a state of, "When the Observer gets Observed".

And when the observer gets Observed, the observer vanishes. So, you can say that the whole process of seeking truth is the dissolution of the observer and for the dissolution of the observer, one must first learn to observe. 

And I observe, and I no longer exist.

Side effects of becoming millionaire/billionaire

Having money, being financially independent is one of the most necessary thing to achieve in life. Okay, you can earn more than you need so that, that extra money can act as shock absorber in emergency situations. But earning a lot of money or aiming for becoming filthy rich is futile. What we mean by filthy rich is becoming multi millionaire or billionaire . Here are some side effects of trying to become millionaire/billionaire: 1) In pursuit of earning crazy amount of money, you must invest a large portion of your life, may be 2-3 decades and that too your prime years in earning money.

Also, You would be missing on all other experiences of learning new things, exploring life deepest questions, reading all sorts of literature, travelling around the world, etc. That's the opportunity cost you pay in trying to earn a lot. What amount of money can you equate to having these experiences in your...

Contentment

 Why is there always an emptiness, an unexplainable void? Why the heart always keeps longing for something? Why isn't it contended? Where is contentment to be found? Just as money can't buy me contentment, in the same way, neither experiences nor knowledge can give me contentment. Nothing outside me, can give me contentment. There is no moksha to be attained. There is no journey to be travelled in time, where at some point in future, the goal of contentment is to be achieved.  All it requires is to open my eyes and realise, I am already contended. I am already complete. I am already secured. Nothing can be snatched from me that would make me incomplete. I am all good and perfectly fine. There is no journey to be travelled, neither externally in this material world, nor internally in our spiritual world. I am already at the destination. I am already a winner, as everybody is. And since I am at my destination, now is the time to live, to enjoy, to get wilder, to get playful, to ...

Understanding the Game

There is always a question deep down inside that why do we live? What is the purpose of life? What is the meaning of my existence? This indeed is a question which arises when we start becoming mature. We somehow suppress these questions and keep indulging and fighting with our day-to-day activities and life. But this type of philosophical question was pondered to us earlier when we were kids. The question was, what happens when we become old? What happens after this life? The answer we get  from our parents or elders is that "we die". And the very next moment another question jumps out that Will I die also?  And we were told with compassion and to comfort ourselves that , "No, No beta... This body gets died but the soul remains intact and gets rebirth." Without asking again, we comfort and made a belief that the soul gets rebirth again and again and we somehow in the back of mind, we plan for next birth without actually looking consciously at this very birth, at thi...
