Your intellect was designed to help you survive, not create a personality that runs your life. Your body can walk, talk, sense, digest, move, and protect itself. It also uses the intellect — a natural built-in tool — to make sense of the world. The intellect interprets what the senses pick up so the organism can do what it needs to do: eat, move, avoid danger, navigate the environment, reproduce, and experience life directly, the way a child does before they learn to overthin

The universe has been unfolding for 13.8 billion years, and not once has it adjusted its course for a single person. So why do we assume everything that happens is about us? Most of us move through life with a strong feeling of being a separate “me” at the centre of it all. When that’s the starting point, everything becomes intensely personal. A bad day feels like a verdict. A comment feels like an attack. A setback feels like a reflection of your worth. Life turns into one l

A simple, experiential guide to moving from mental turbulence to effortless clarity and effective happy living Imagine you can fly.Whether in an airplane, strapped to a jet pack, or with wings of your own. Even though every one of us has the ability to soar high into the open sky, most of us have limited ourselves to flying low—right where the turbulence, gusts, and storms are. This low-altitude zone is what I call the “living in your mind” level .Most of us fly here simply b

And the highest freedom isn’t freedom from circumstances — it’s freedom from the mind’s suffering. Every human being hates suffering — especially the kinds that feel pointless, uncontrollable, or prolonged. And at the deepest level, every human being desires peace, safety, and a sense of being whole. When you strip away culture, personality, background, or beliefs, the specifics differ, but the core is the same. What all humans universally hate 1. Fear and insecurity Not know

Your mind’s constant daydreaming is exhausting you more than life ever will. Most of us don’t realise it, but we spend an enormous portion of our lives completely absorbed in daydreaming. Not the creative kind that sparks inspiration, but the repetitive kind: replaying conversations, imagining future scenarios, predicting outcomes, worrying about possibilities, rehearsing what we might say or do. Daydreaming and anticipating are essentially the same mental pattern — both keep

We spend our lives obeying our thoughts — trusting their stories, fears, and limits. But no matter how clever we think they are, thoughts are only shadows of the past, not a foundation for a real life. Most of us inadvertently live inside the boundaries our thoughts create. We take their narratives as fact, respond to their fears as if they were warnings, and accept their limits as reality. Inevitably, we begin to believe we are restricted and incomplete. From this misunderst

The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced The mind, however, wants answers.It wants definitions, explanations, and conclusions.It wants life to be something fixed — something it can grasp, organise, and control. But life is not a puzzle with missing pieces.It is not waiting for you to figure it out. Life is an unfolding presence:fluid, alive, whole in each moment. When we stop trying to solve life,we begin to feel it.When we stop a

Trying to kill your thoughts — which will never stop arising — is like trying to defeat an archer by shooting at his arrows. No matter how many arrows you break, more will appear. Thoughts arise from vasanas — the latent impressions in the mind — and as long as the archer remains, the stream of arrows continues. The real work is not to fight the thoughts, but to discover who they are arising for. Instead of battling the arrows, turn your attention to the archer himself: the ‘

You don’t choose the cards you are dealt — they appear spontaneously, randomly, without consultation. Your only role is to play them as skilfully and consciously as you can.   Since you did not choose the cards, nothing that happens in the game is truly personal. The hand you receive is not a reflection of worth, talent, character, or destiny; it is simply what has appeared. And every moment, the table offers new possibilities — unexpected openings, fresh chances, shifting co

We are taught to believe that happiness must have a cause; that it depends on something outside ourselves. A person, an achievement, a possession, a holiday, a moment that goes the way we want it to. So we spend our lives chasing conditions, arranging circumstances, and trying to control outcomes, believing that joy lies just beyond the next accomplishment or acquisition. But when happiness depends on something external, it becomes fragile, bound to the constant change of the
