@Nondual_ Beautiful insight.
The real challenge isn’t understanding it intellectually anymore.
It’s staying grounded while exploring it.
Without that, it’s easy to mistake imagination for realization. 🙏
@LauraMi25356713 Thank you 🙏
Whatever name we give that gentle voice, it often leads to more peace, compassion, and clarity.
Wishing you a blessed week as well. 🕊️
Isn’t ‘Abhyasa’ needed for everything that truly matters to us?
Eklavya practiced to become the best archer. He didn’t need the physical presence of Drona to keep refining himself.
Sadly, the same guru system also became the reason for his downfall.
Abhyasa is not limited to Sadhana.
It belongs to every pursuit that demands devotion, patience, and honesty. 🪷
I still remember my early days after MBBS, posted in the ER.
A multiple-casualty incident came in.
One person had the skin and muscle of his foot torn open, hanging partly like a slipper.
For a moment, I froze.
Maybe I had never seen anything like that before.
Maybe I was overwhelmed.
That was action paralysis.
When the brain is flooded with too much information and the pressure to act is high, we can freeze for a few moments.
And sometimes, those few moments matter.
Have you ever felt something similar in your life?
@sadhavi It’s easier to memorize the texts and boast about them.
It’s much more difficult to understand and follow what Krishna said.
The closer a person comes to understanding Krishna, the more peaceful life becomes.
Life becomes a joy to live.
I have struggled with binge-watching.
I control it for days, then suddenly I binge again.
I tell myself, “Just one episode.”
It works for a few days. I stop on time. I feel in control.
Then one day, I don’t stop.
Sometimes I couldn’t sleep well for days and felt exhausted because of it.
That’s the loop, I have battled for years.
I didn’t lose discipline.
I slipped back into the same loop.
The control was real. The pattern just resumed.
Has this ever happened to you?
@embodiedthinkr Different frameworks, shared observations.
Modern medicine explains it through digestive physiology, and ginger has evidence for supporting gastric motility.
