This was based on a book of naturopathy authored by gandhi, and you can find books on naturopathy yourself with natural and inexpensive healing methods. For example, decades back I once had a boil on the back of my neck. The allopathy doctor I checked out with prescribed around 300 rupees of antibiotics which I did not buy then as I found it too expensive for a minor issue. Later at home, I remembered a natural healing method I read in a book and practiced in an another country, and just applied salt water on the boil. It broke and never caused any issues to me again. So I felt happy I saved 300 bucks back then. I similarly know of people who successfully recovered from major ailments using cheap alternative medical treatments, after getting a poor prognosis from modern allopathic doctors of being incurable.

I did not have jobs that aligned with my passion. I worked these jobs because they financially supported my passions, creative endeavors and further career growth. There was a time when I was jobless that I used to live in cheap farmhouses, and slept outside on the grass due to lack of working fans inside the room at night. However the next day when I woke up, I found myself much healthier and energised which puzzled me. Later on, I read of Gandhi advocating in naturopathy manuals of the virtues of sleeping outside in the midst of raw nature rather than the confined walls of a house, and I understood the reasons why I felt pretty good when I slept outside. I similarly sleep in the beaches at night and feel refreshed and rejuvenated waking up. So there were some positives I reaped when I struggled with adversity.

I have enjoyed success to the extent I did my due diligence and came out of my comfort zone.

These two european neighbors have been shedding blood for the last five years in this conflict . The two world wars which originated in europe came about due to incompetent leadership and diplomats, as per historians. Hopefully, the UN and NAM (non-aligned movement) can bring about diplomacy and negotiations between the two and end this issue, and nip any prospect for nuclear war and holocaust in the bud.

Dude, you can get a degree correspondence course as well, if you cannot attend a regular degree course. These things are pretty easy in India. I have a feeling that you might be suffering from some traumatic episode or health issue that you have not mentioned here, and which could be a reason why you are not able to pay due attention to your academic and professional career. You can even start a business due to the extremely large market in India and get ahead but your trauma or health issues may be blocking that as well. I would advise you to see a psychologist or doctor and get your health issues fixed. And then get a suitable learning course which will get you job opportunities. After making a good amount of money, you can focus on your life passion or purpose or do it together as well. With a loser mentality you will just keep on complaining for the rest of your life and making excuses. With a winner mentality, you stop making excuses and start thinking coherently and taking relevant action patiently and then move on to higher things. As Meher Baba stated, "Bravery and strength overcome all difficulties".

Dude, you are saying all this loser stuff and at the same time have photo of the genius mathematician Ramanujan as your avatar. Ramanujan suffered from heavy poverty and adversity as well, but he persisted in his efforts and is now recognized as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, and his work has transformed pure mathematics and created numerous breakthroughs in theoretical physics, computer science and number theory. There is a major discrepancy between your loser mentality and his champion mentality.

India is the fastest growing major economy at the moment and for many years now, and this is why many are turning rich and wealthy. A 1.5 billion population also means the largest market in the world as well. If you have good entrepreneurial skills you can easily succeed in the Indian market. Those who are vigorous and harder than their hard circumstances succeed and become wealthy and rich. The elderly, handicapped, widows and orphans, and event the soft and weak can still survive on government rations given freely or at subsidized rate every month. Yes, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, known as the Iron man of India, was also known for his judgement and excellent work ethics which enabled him to become a successful lawyer in his youth and later on as a political leader and colleague of Gandhi. In his youth, he used to fast two days a week to build his inner strength and inure himself to discomfort. You can take Gandhi and Patel as examples. However you need to get out of your comfort zone. Siddhartha gave up his ultra-luxurious lifestyle and kingdom to become a hermit, embracing hardship, extreme discomfort and danger, and eventually attained wisdom and enlightenment. If he complained about circumstances like you, he would not have attained Buddhahood or created Buddhism as a religion .

What separates the winners from the losers is excellent judgement and good work ethics. My own village has a billionaire who while developing his startup in business used to do the hard manual labor himself wearing a singlet to cut costs. His business prospered with steady application and he rose from poverty to wealth. The award winning Indian actor Nana Patekar who died recently, as a teenager used to walk 16 km a day from his village to Mumbai, to earn a mere rupees 35 to support his family, painting film posters and walk back the same distance. He later succeeded as a film actor and became a millionaire in his own right. To state that India has only the IT industry is a uni-dimensional viewpoint , when it has also the agricultural, industrial, textile, pharmacuetical, manufacturing , petrochemical, mining , banking and financial services, automobile, infrastructure and construction, tourism sectors that is creating many Indian billionaires, centi-millionaires and millionaires each day. India is ranked third behind the US, China in terms of dollar billionaires and centi-millionaires . I have seen soft and weak people addicted to comfort , not dynamic enough and not inured to hardship, lose out on opportunities in life and then complain of being victims of circumstances. Mahatma Gandhi had stated the following... GAndhi himself had an iron will and self-control which enabled him to adhere to a gruelling schedule starting at 4 AM , learn new languages and walk many miles a day even at the age of 76 for the sake of conflict resolution. If Gandhi was complaining of circumstances in his youth despondently, he would not have become the global icon he is at present.

It is possible that these were doctored by the military to get more budgetary allocations and funding to build capabilities against supposed alien threats. This would also drown out voices clamouring for reduced defense expenditures and subsidizing of healthcare, education and housing to reduce the strain on the average american citizen and nearly a million homeless americans. The west could also be running out of bogeymen to defend against as well as excuses to strip western taxpayers of their tax money, and all these aliens maybe the next new deadly threat even if they could be perfectly harmless and benevolent. With modern technology,you can also create holograms of the same or use AI as well for this purpose. The russians, chinese, islamic terrorists and zombies were the villains in most western films, and now aliens seems to be replacing them for the sake of novelty and creativity and some other reasons.

It is possible that terrestrial rockets and so on may have been misidentified as UFO's. For example, a rocket launched from India was thought to be a UFO in Australia. https://www.nine.com.au/australia-news/australians-think-india-rocket-launch-is-comet-of-ufo-20230715-p5ytlo.html However it is also statistically possible that just like humans, there may be multiple alien species of a benevolent, neutral and malevolent nature who maybe studying the earth and its resources for their needs and requirements, and act accordingly to their innate nature and sphere of influence. When even humans perform painful experiments on helpless animals in labs for gaining scientific data, it would not be beyond the moral code of some aliens for abducting humans for the same even if it meant their deaths as well. Since earth is not a unified entity at present due to its numerous divisions, conflicts and wars, it would be relatively easier for ambitious alien races to manipulate the situation as per their acquisitive policies without anyone being the wiser, and have probably done the same to a large extent in selected regions. If the earth was a unified entity, it could formulate effective doctrines for such issues that can deter any hostile transgressions, imho.

Tribal nations divorced from spiritual and humanistic values are obviously a danger to themselves and the world . As Wernher von Braun stated, “Science does not have a moral dimension. It is like a knife. If you give it to a surgeon or a murderer, each will use it differently.” I have already said earlier that ancient civilizations like India and China have nuclear weaponry and at the same have a 'no first strike' policy due to ethical and humanistic reasons, in comparison to the US, UK, France, Russia which have a volatile and inhumane 'first strike policy' while also being civilizations of recent origin and limited timeline. The latter have never evolved enough to create men like Buddha and Lao Tsu who had influenced the national cultures of their regions for the better. Victor Frankl had blamed nihilism for the unprecedented brutality and savagery of the second world war which originated in europe in the twentieth century. Buddha had criticized nihilistic philosophies in the Tripitaka as productive of vice and misconduct, around 2500 years back. I had stated about the same in this thread of mine. https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/105091-ethical-conduct-indispensable-for-attaining-enlightenment-or-buddhahood/ Similarly Lao Tzu's nondual teachings as well are in stark contrast to the dualistic fixation of warmongering nations. So it isn't always true that tribes evolve into warring nations to the point of mutual annihilation and get extinct like the dodos due to philosophical and sociological deficiencies. Some with time get smart, sees the bigger picture and exercises strategic restraint.

Industrial warfare has morphed into monstrous levels in modern times. The Allies and Nazis used to bomb each other's cities in Europe extracting heavy civilian casualties and destruction of industrial infrastructure. The villages were spared because they lacked the same. A nuclear war between the US, Europe and Russia would mean the total annihilation of these nations permanently reducing them into nightmarish radioactive landscapes where nothing grows. Better be a hippie or Amish or ignorant tribal living long peaceful lives rather than a hypernationalistic and technological fool who unwittingly brings about the destruction of his whole country due to materialistic greed or psychological insecurity issues, if you ask me.

There is no unconscious thinking and emoting in the enlightened state, and thought is used consciously for communication or planning voluntarily, and after the task the thinking process effortlessly subsides. This is obviously a challenge in unenlightened minds. Intuition is at an optimal state in enlightenment. I remember a young westerner telling me how an enlightened sage told him to avoid air travel in 2001 and be in the ashram in Asia, before 9/11. The enlightened state is also associated with high bliss levels effortlessly that is usually felt in people nearby as well. The degree of sensitivity is proportional to how much this is felt, and this usually develops in the company of a sage. Also the enlightened state is associated with high levels of prana or chi or life force, and which usually permeates to those around the sage. ( Disease at physical and psychological levels is associated with lower levels of prana in eastern medical systems of Ayurveda, Reiki, Pranic healing and Acupuncture, and which can be removed by increasing prana levels or removing blocks. ) The female enlightened sage Rajini Menon reported observing her physical ailments disappearing upon enlightenment, as well as gaining high energy levels, possibly due to permanent ending of leakage of prana through compulsive thinking and emoting. This is also a reason why cases of spontaneous healings comes up in people around an enlightened sage, both at psychological and physiological levels. The sage can also infuse high levels of prana into a fruit or leaf or glass of water which when taken results in healing. I know of an enlightened sage in India in the early twentieth century who used to infuse prana into jackfruit leaves and giving them for healing purposes which was successful, and leading to greater fame for him in the region. A man suffering from a certain disease came to the sage seeking healing. He was disappointed to be given an ordinary jackfruit leaf by the sage who asked him to eat it. The man went home with the leaf, lost it, and ate an another jackfruit leaf he had plucked. When he visited the sage later, he complained about the lack of healing after taking the leaf. When the sage enquired whether the man had taken the leaf which the sage had given, the man replied in the negative. This time, the sage gave him an another leaf which he was made to eat over there at the presence of the sage himself. This resulted in the man's healing later on. Healing associated in certain pilgrimage points could also be due to the high presence of prana in the region.

I use a combination of lotus poses as well as sitting in chair due to the comfort involved. But I found that sitting in lotus position or padmasana/siddhasana helped in calming and centering my mind faster than sitting in a chair. So I use a chair or lotus position as per my needs, which is comfort or faster calming of the mind. These days I use mainly sukhasana or ardha padmasana as they are the most comfortable poses for lotus position with similar results. I have elaborated more in this post of mine.

This is true. The method of using toilet paper first came up in China in the sixth century ad, and was used extensively by mass production by the fourteenth century in China. This concept was copied by the west in the middle of the nineteenth century. In 1857, the Joseph Gayetty introduced the first packaged commercial toilet paper in the US and toilet paper was popularised in europe in the twentieth century.
