Settled conclusion of Vedānta according to Śrī Abhinava Vidyātīrtha Mahāsvāmījī. Truly a GOAT.
"To an individual who is immersed in this ocean of sorrow and seeking a way out, Vedānta does not advise him to pursue heaven or any other world. Instead, it teaches, 'If you realise your true nature, your ignorance will get destroyed and you will become Brahman.' Śrī Śaṅkara Bhagavatpada established this philosophy. This philosophy has remained unshaken and unbroken from His times to this day. He who has imbibed this philosophy, on perceiving anything in the world, would deem: 'Everything is only a divine sport of the Supreme. There is nothing that exists apart from Brahman', 'Pleasure and pain do not relate to me. All such notions are merely imagined by me', 'I am of the nature of absolute bliss". Such a firm conviction will arise in him and he will become liberated. We should take recourse to the teaching of Bhagavatpada, obtain Knowledge, and become liberated. This is what needs to be done."
Existence or Consciousness is the only Reality.
Consciousness plus waking we call waking.
Consciousness plus sleep we call sleep.
Consciousness plus dream we call dream.
Consciousness is the screen on which all the pictures come and go. The screen is real, the pictures are mere shadows on it.

Sri Ramana Maharshi
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I lack civic sense.
They can overturn cars, burn streets,
and vandalize a city after a championship game.
I dance at an airport excited about my first foreign trip, and suddenly I am the face of poor civic sense.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I steal jobs.
They move factories across oceans,
shift profits through tax havens,
and automate entire industries overnight.
I study, compete, earn a visa, work 18 hours a day, sometimes multiple jobs and somehow I am the one stealing jobs and scamming the system.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am everywhere.
I build your software,
treat your illness,
teach your children,
drive your taxis,
and open your stores.
The world became a village,
yet my presence remains a problem.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am too loud.
The evening news screams outrage.
Political rallies shake entire cities.
The internet echoes with anger day and night.
I celebrate a wedding, a festival, a victory,
and I am told my joy is too loud.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I smell of curry.
The world smells of gunpowder,
of hatred,
of division,
of endless arguments about race and religion.
I carry the fragrance of spices from my grandmother's kitchen,
and somehow that is what offends.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I have no culture.
I come from a civilization that counted the stars
when much of the world was still learning maps.
I speak languages older than nations.
I celebrate hundreds of traditions,
yet I am told I have no culture.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am backward.
I send missions to the Moon.
I build vaccines for millions.
I run companies across continents.
Yet a viral video of one fool becomes evidence against a billion people.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I worship celebrities.
I celebrate my favorite actor's success
with flowers, music, and a few glasses of milk.
Others worship influencers who sell outrage, turn every disagreement into a battlefield, and every opinion into a war.
Yet my celebration is the one that makes headlines.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I gather in crowds.
We walk together in processions,
celebrating our faith, our culture, our traditions.
Everyone is welcome.
No shops are looted.
No neighborhoods are burned.
No one is threatened for thinking differently.
We sing.
We dance.
We pray.
And somehow our gathering becomes the problem.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I bring my culture everywhere.
I light a lamp in a foreign land.
I wear a saree in the snow.
I teach my children the language of their grandparents.
Others build walls between neighbors,
argue endlessly over identity,
and forget where they came from.
Yet I am told I should leave my culture behind.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I live in the past.
But my past gave me yoga,
mathematics, philosophy, meditation,
and the idea that the world is one family.
The future keeps borrowing from my past,
while telling me to be embarrassed by it.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I should be ashamed.
Ashamed of my accent.
Ashamed of my food.
Ashamed of my festivals.
Ashamed of my traditions.
Ashamed of existing.
But I am not ashamed.
I am the child of farmers and philosophers,
scientists and saints, workers and dreamers.
I come from a land that taught the world
that truth can be many-sided,
that all paths deserve respect,
and that the entire world is one family.
Yes, we have flaws. Every nation does.
But judge me by my actions, not by your stereotypes.
For I am an Indian.
And before you tell me what is wrong with me, look honestly at what you have normalized in yourself.
For I am an Indian.
The world may mock my accent,
question my customs,
laugh at my celebrations,
and judge me through a thousand stereotypes.
Yet I stand tall.
For I belong to a civilization older than empires, a culture richer than prejudice, and a people whose spirit refuses to bend.

Nikola Tesla practiced semen retention his entire life and openly said it was the source of his genius.
He never married. Never had a known romantic relationship. And he was clear about why.
He believed the energy most men spent chasing and pursuing women could be redirected into the mind. He channeled all of it into his work.
The results are hard to argue with. He could visualize a complete machine in his head, run it for weeks mentally, spot the flaws, and only then build it. Once. Working perfectly.
He held around 300 patents. He laid the foundation for the electricity that runs the modern world.
He said great ideas came to him in floods of clarity, and that he protected that clarity by refusing to dissipate his energy.
You don't have to copy his entire life to take the lesson. The energy is real. Where you point it decides what you build.
Most men leak it daily and wonder why their mind feels foggy. He aimed all of it at one target for decades.
"What means to be White? Almost nothing except physical look. No sacred values, no religion, no roots. Just economical success and capitalist greed. There is no more reason to be white. The globalism is created and implemented by Whites."
