There are two kinds of movements. Ego thinning and ego fattening. Based on what I've seen in recent years, the world has one new achievement to add on their bucket list, "climbing the everest." If it just becomes like buying a new car, a new house, then what's the point?

I want to know your opinions on this.

When you're lagging behind someone, don't just try to defeat them. Ask yourself, “Is this truly my best, or is there still hidden potential within me?”

Most people die without ever discovering what they were truly capable of. Don’t let that happen to you.

Horse riding is the least talked about aspect of animal cruelty. Many consider it a fun activity and entertainment, but why are we so that we only choose abuse for our "fun!"

Hollywood movies make it seem cool. Many people get influenced and want to be cool like their star, but what they don't show is the aftermath.

Injured back,

starvation and dehydration,

untreated injuries or infections,

wounds from harsh equipment like tight bridles or whips,

exhaustion from overwork,

fear, anxiety, and trauma,

lameness or permanent disability.

“Don’t ask the blacksmith

what iron tastes like.

Ask the horse

whose mouth bears the bridle.”

~ Dhumil

I remember Nietzsche when he saw a horse being whipped and fainted. Only a person of that caliber could understand that pain.

Hey guys,

I have been listening to Acharya Prashant for some years, and I simply can not express it in words. He is the guy with an honest vision. His talks vary from ancient philosophy to modern problems like climate change. His solutions are not just avoidance or hypocrisy. He talks honestly and brutally. I think this will be a new dimension to explore for all.

Don Quixote follows Alonso Quixano, an aging Spanish man who becomes obsessed with tales of chivalry and decides to reinvent himself as the knight “Don Quixote.” Believing the world still needs heroic knights, he sets out on absurd adventures with his practical and loyal companion, Sancho Panza. Don Quixote mistakes windmills for giants, inns for castles, and ordinary people for characters in grand epics, leading to both comic and deeply touching situations.

Don Quixote is the ego at its most theatrical. He takes borrowed material from chivalric novels and declares it his identity. He is not a knight, but he needs to be one because without the role, he is just an aging man with no scaffolding left. The delusion is not madness in the clinical sense. It is the ego doing what every ego does, only more visibly. Every person has their version of the windmill. The difference is that most egos are more socially approved in their fiction.

Sancho Panza is the body alongside the ego, practical and grounded, but loyal to the delusion because the relationship itself has become his scaffolding. What makes the story tragic is not that Quixote is wrong about the windmills. It is that when he finally sees clearly near death, there is no joy in it. The seeing came without love. He did not thin the ego through honest self-examination. The world simply wore him down. That is not liberation. That is the IC engine running out of fuel. The tank emptied. The man did not dissolve. He was just defeated.

Interested to know what you think.

Hey guys I just read this wonderful article by Acharya Prashant. This is a deep analysis of tamil nadu and west bengal elections. How a recently formed party rose to power and threw dravidian politics out?

Some excerpts:

The professional actor has trained for precisely what electoral competition demands: the projection of an image that an audience will find compelling, and the calibration of emotion for people who did not gather to be informed but to be moved.

When things go wrong, the electorate asks what is wrong with the government, as if governments arrive from somewhere outside the societies that produce them, as if they drop from the skies already constituted and installed, leaving the voter a passive recipient of whatever falls.

The outward direction of this shallowness has a specific political consequence that is almost never named. When things go wrong, the electorate asks what is wrong with the government, as if governments arrive from somewhere outside the societies that produce them, as if they drop from the skies already constituted and installed, leaving the voter a passive recipient of whatever falls. It is a democracy; the people have been casting votes and constituting these governments, season after season, with apparent enthusiasm. If the government was what it was, the electorate that returned it repeatedly has some reasonable claim to the result.

We are familiar with the gods in our own religion. We worship them. We follow certain rituals to impress them. They invented them out of our fear and fear are alike for everyone around the world. Here is another resemblance of our fear from Greek mythology.

His name is Chac.Chac controls rain, lightning, and storms. Farmers relied on him to ensure their crops survived.

A tale tells of a village during a drought. The villagers offered blood sacrifices, and Chac sent the rains to save their maize. Ignore him, and he could flood entire valleys, showing how weather, life, and death were all in the hands of one unpredictable deity.

Chac’s fascination lies in nature made divine and capricious: obey or perish.

What do you think?

I suddenly remembered this weird ritual I followed. When I was a boy and my teeth began to fall, my parents told me to toss it over the roof so that I could get a healthy new one.

It's silly how as an adults, they still believed it.

Maybe now that I am seeing this mechanism from outside it that it feels silly to me. But what if I had a stake in this mechanism? What if I was a boy asking for a tooth? The parents who want the boy to look cute? I would still believe and even invest in that mechanism.

This is equally true for every other superstition.

What is one silly myth that you guys followed as a child?

Have you ever heard of the wendigo?

The Wendigo is a macabre creature from North American folklore. It devours its victims but is cursed with a hunger that can never be satisfied.

Sounds familiar?

Is it a monster? Because it is a perfect description of human beings. These monsters are the expression of our suffering. Humans devour everything but are cursed that our hunger can never be satisfied. I am obviously not talking of the hunger of the stomach.

I reflect on what Acharya Prashant Ji said in yesterday's session. The ego devours everything, but it's like a bottom less pit it cannot be filled. Like a rabies virus, firstly, it devours its host(the body) and the world later.

What do you think? Is wendigo out there somewhere, or are you the wendigo?

Both Nietzsche and Acharya Prashant observe the human condition in a similar way: a restless, insatiable ego that can never be satisfied. 

Will to Power = ego-incompleteness.

No hidden wholeness waiting to be “found.”

Accumulation (power, knowledge, virtue, spirituality) is just the ego’s clever self-preservation trick.

Both rip away every comforting lie about self-deception.Then they split violently:

Nietzsche says: Intensify it. Embrace the striving. Become who you are. Go full Übermensch. Maximum ego, maximum creativity, maximum life. 

Acharya Prashant says: Dissolve it. See the striver for what it is and choose thinning over triumph.

Nietzsche is the ultimate philosopher of the ego.

AP is the philosopher of the ego’s dissolution.

Two radically honest diagnoses.

Two completely opposite prescriptions.Curious how this lands for you?

Genuine seekers of AP’s work, how do you see this comparison? Does it clarify anything, or does it miss something essential in the teachings?

Let’s discuss.

Ego can eat babaji for breakfast

Osho for lunch and

Kathavachaks for dinner.

But it can never digest Acharya Prashant.

Don't you agree?

Hey guys,

I found this beautiful video of some years back, loved the view, and loved the music.

Have some time of peace.
