  • The perspective of a Mountaineer

    People from the mountains are generally down-to-earth. Why? Probably because they see the mountains and the valleys. They ride atop mountains and can see how small their homes look from the mountains. They realise the limits of human existence in… Continue reading

  • Ego-less Choices

    Life is all about choices. We make choices almost every moment. Whether to keep sleeping or wake up is the first choice we make during the day. We also choose whether to go for a walk, what to eat, how… Continue reading

    Even after morning prayers every day, reading religious scriptures, singing bhajans, debating for hours, watching spiritual content for years, and having joined a spiritual cult for decades, we remain full of fears, hatred, jealousy, and ambitions. Both brothers who drag… Continue reading

  • We miss “being” in a hurry to “become”
