Whatever our age, there are 4 areas we can always work on⁣ :-

The first is purpose - what gets us up everyday, how our day-to-day actions align with this purpose, and in what ways this alignment can be strengthened

When religion stops purifying the mind and instead feeds ego, superiority, or division, it loses its true purpose.

[Lata Agarwal @_lata_agarwal_]

When understood rightly, God and religion serve as disciplines for inner refinement, guiding the mind toward clarity and enabling peaceful coexistence in society.

Yoga is the process by which the individual self realizes its identity with the Universal Self, using the discipline of the body, breath, mind, and intellect.

@anmol2312 @ShwetaKukreja_ There should be a solution to this. Maybe in schools kids should be lectured to make them understand how social media works. Along with love likes and validation there is a dark side too which should be understood.

People ask me to meet over dinner 🥗

When I say that I don’t eat after sunset

I am done by 5.30 now a days - they can’t wrap their head around it, they don’t like me 😂

And this becomes a talking topic

Are you JAIN?

If they know 100% of my habits they won’t invite me ever

If you can't live alone, you were born a slave. You may have all the splendours of the mind and the soul, in which case you are a noble slave or an intelligent servant, but you're not free.
