This is a well-written post. Yes, there are gems of enlightened sages and Avatars in different parts of the country, but finding them depends to a large extent on one's own spiritual merit gathered from this and past lives, as well as a receptive and dynamic mindset capable of correctly discriminating between the true and false. Some recognize and benefit enormously from these sages, while some are indifferent and even adversely critical of them all their lives increasing their demerit and deluded state. As Kabir had stated, " A diamond was laying in the street covered with dirt. Many fools passed by. Someone who knew diamonds picked it up."

Thank you for this. This is indeed a new concept for me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_wei What I am understanding from here is that action in Awareness enables one to be in the Tao or Natural Way in all actions and holistic development of things. Reactive unconscious actions on the other hands can lead to a false lopsided development and errors that is bound to take its toll in the long run and is bound to be regressive instead.

Interview of Dada Gavand.. https://o-meditation.com/category/dada-gavand/

Dattaram Gavand, a businessman, mystic, traveller and photographer, was born in Mumbai in 1917. The eldest child of his parents, he came to be called Dada or elder brother. Born with a philosophical and spiritual temperament Dada Gavand studied books on philosophy and spirituality and met and kept company with the likes of enlightened sages like Ramana Maharshi and Jiddu Krishnamurti and Mira Alfassa. Dada took over the family business at the age of 18 due to his father's demise and carried out the family responsibilities of taking care of his family till his brother and sisters married and settled in life. He chose to remain a bachelor himself and after taking care of his family responsibilities , focussed on his spiritual interests, leaving his cozy home and retiring to a hut on Mount Sajjangad close to nature, and began an inquiry unto himself. This episode resulted in his enlightenment after six months. The following is an interesting account from his autobiography 'Intelligence beyond thought' which contains a description of his practices that led to his waking up or enlightenment. https://realization.org/p/dada-gavand/how-dada-gavand-woke-up/how-dada-gavand-woke-up.html

I would ask you to do a psychological test with a career counsellor which would pinpoint out your strengths and weaknesses, and then choose a profitable career based on the evaluation. This helped me a lot when I was young, though i wished I had done it earlier when I was entering college so that I could have made informed choices then.

I would like to add here that from a yogic perspective, people feel suicidal when the prana or chi levels in the person is very low... If people commit suicide on the basis of existentialist or nihilist despair, what is apparent to me then is that personal interpretations of certain philosophies of this kind and the thinking and emoting process it generates can lead to low prana or chi levels within the personal system. It has been observed by physicians that when a patient is negative-minded and has lost his will to live, this can have a further adverse effect on his health.

A book of Dr. Ian Stevenson,M.D.,' Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation ' in pdf format. https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/w/images/1/1b/Twenty_Cases_Suggestive_of_Reincarnation.pdf Dr. Ian Stevenson was a Canadian-born U.S. psychiatrist. He worked for the University of Virginia School of Medicine, for fifty years, as chair of the department of psychiatry from 1957 to 1967, Carlson Professor of Psychiatry from 1967 to 2001, and Research Professor of Psychiatry from 2002 until his death.

Hi all, Quoted above are a list of teachings of various masters which I compiled myself for a better understanding and contemplation of the message of proactivity/responsiveness and reactivity. Through study and analysis of these master's teachings, I had come to the understanding that it is proactive action which is what is known as virtue or good karma while reactive action is what is known as sin or bad karma. While proactivity or responsiveness is what stems from a state of awareness or mindfulness , reactivity on the other hand stems from the ego . Living in the present moment generates awareness, while living in the past or future due to desires, craving or incessant thinking is what generates the ego. The state of awareness generates happiness , while the ego generates pain and sorrow. This is why the Buddha had said thus ," Mindfulness ( constant awareness ) is the true virtue." And why Eckhart Tolle had stated thus. " Evil is an extreme manifestation of human unconsciousness." Writing this in my notebook and constant study and contemplation of these teachings from time to time helped me to become a more self-aware, responsive and less reactive person. This understanding brought a deep sense of calmness, peace, contentment and well-being in my life. Hope the reading of the above mentioned teachings will do the same for you or help in bringing perspective on the nature of the mind.

The biggest issue for elephants in India and globally is poaching, which is a lucrative billion dollar business, and which often means instant death for them to get their ivory tusks sought by rich clients globally. In captivity, especially in rich temples and affluent households, they have a good life and are even pampered. I know of an acquaintance of mine who had a pet elephant and went into a bout of depression after the elephants death. Elephants are also bred in captivity which ensures their continuity and immunity to extinction unlike many other species which have gone extinct like the Indian cheetah due to unregulated hunting and poaching.

Peace means nothingness. Peace is not something that you create, peace is not something that happens. Peace is something that always is. What happens on the surface is disturbance. This is just like the ocean. On the surface of the ocean you will see waves, tremendous turbulence and turmoil. But if you go deep down, it is perfectly peaceful. The fundamental quality of existence is always peace. ~ Sadhguru “Peace is your natural state. It is the mind that obstructs the natural state.”— Ramana Maharshi Mind is never peaceful; no-mind is peace. Mind itself can never be peaceful, silent. The very nature of the mind is to be tense, to be in confusion. Mind can never be clear, it cannot have clarity because mind is by nature confusion, cloudiness. ~ Osho Only no-mind can be at peace, because in a state of no-mind you have gone beyond the clouds into the open sky, where problems don't exist. ~ Osho
