A man's span is a hundred years; dividing his time, let him pursue the three aims so that they support one another and none destroys the others — in boyhood, acquisition and learning; in youth, a good women in from kāma, a good work; in old age, dharma and liberation.
If someone doesn’t want to be in your life, let that person go. There’s no wisdom in holding on to a partner, person, employer or a thing.
"A courtesan leaves a man without money; subjects leave a broken king; birds leave a tree whose fruit is finished; and a guest leaves the house once he has eaten." - Cāṇakya-nīti 2.17
Everything and everyone must ultimately perish. Separation from all that we love is not a question of ‘if’ but ‘when’. It’s inevitable,… Nothing here is designed to last. Forests burn, mountains move, rivers dry, oceans retreat, glaciers melt, people die.…
Nothing truly belongs to you. You are only a traveler here for 80 to 100 years, and then everything—absolutely everything—will be gone.
Forget 80 to 100 years. If you observe life closely, you will see that nothing lasts more than a few decades. Friends disappear, family members die, people move to new places, new people enter your life, others leave. Death happens. Change happens continuously. Nothing here is static. Change is the only constant.
The real problem is with the unrealistic nature of our expectations; the greatest being our desire that anything good in our life should stay as it is.
Do not try to possess anything here—people, places, or objects. So stop stressing. Even if you do nothing, everything around you will completely change anyway.
"All accumulations end in depletion; all elevations end in a fall; all unions end in separation; and life ends in death."
Rāmāyaṇa 2.98.16 (Rāma consoling Bharata)
Existence never cares about talents. In the eyes of existence, everyone is equal; everyone is equally important. The only thing that matters in the eyes of existence is punya.
If you have punya, your life becomes easier. And if you don't have punya, then even being a friend of the gods or possessing great talents means nothing.
The only currency in this world that can bring everything to your feet is punya. And there is no more powerful punya than meditating with your eyes fixed on the holy feet of God.
First, all relationship problems occur for two reasons.
First, all the problems a man faces with a woman are due to one reason: she lacks love for him. That is the only reason she doesn’t obey, makes demands, fights, doesn’t dress up for him, and does everything else that creates problems in the relationship.
Second, all the problems a woman faces with a man emerge because he has no understanding of women and has never invested in learning about women. That’s why the woman doesn’t love him, and that’s why the relationship becomes problematic, burdensome, and a pathway to discouragement instead of making life easier.
So, women are not the problem. A man’s lack of understanding of women’s nature is the problem. That is why he fails to receive the love he wants and faces problems in his relationships.
I forgot to mention a few names above, but that appreciation is for all of you, my brothers.
Thank you so much, @SovereignManX, @being_myways, @ElitePowerEdge, and @DivyeSharm88115, for always giving genuine feedback, support, and shares.
You all are awesome, intelligent, and sooner or later, sovereign and powerful too. Undoubtedly, the road is quite long, but the hunger you have to know more, as well as your willingness to appreciate, will sooner or later attract the force that pushes you toward real action and real work—work that will lead to far greater things in your life than you have imagined.
Again, thank you so much to all the great, wise, and supportive brothers for your unconditional, beautiful, and powerful written threads.
Jai Shri Mahakaal. Hopefully, you will like the Money Obey book too.
@SovereignManX@being_myways@ElitePowerEdge@DivyeSharm88115 A very special thanks to @RishabhAdvait for getting directly to the main point. Capturing the essence of everything in just three notes is remarkable.
The three core pillars: Karma burning, Sadhana, and Shiva’s grace.
Jai Shri Mahakaal.

This is one of the best threads I truly liked and loved. May God bless you,@Padaiyaatchiyar, and @sinneraroy , @basireddy125, for your awesome threads too.
You will definitely achieve greatness in life.
Your thread itself reflects those vibrations, which will open doors for you.
There is one law mentioned in the book: the
“Law of Appreciation,” through which we attract the same kind of energy that we appreciate.
But I have found that in most threads, people want to be “sigma” but don’t appreciate the goodness of the product or the person, even if they actually like it.
But I have no complaints; my campaign got what it needed.
Some men are like you—big-hearted and open-minded. I especially appreciated the open-heartedness of all 3 of you including @sinneraroy and @basireddy125.
I have seen some men who want to become sovereign individuals, but they are quite lazy when it comes to taking action and completing a task with utmost love, sincerity, and dedication.
I can be like those people who write a trash thread in a few minutes and then want my book for free. I can be like that and deliver a trash product, but I can't match their level of selfishness.
They may definitely become sovereign individuals—but perhaps not in this life. As per my observation, maybe after ten lifetimes.
But there are some men like you all who are truly worth my effort—men whose open-heartedness allows them to keep growing by sharing more appreciation, more love, more value, and more effort in whatever task they undertake.
Now, coming back to the secret law:
If you want to become handsome, you could tell a handsome man that he is handsome.
But for how long will you keep saying it?
If you say it every day, either you will start looking foolish, or that person will eventually get annoyed.
So, how do we apply this Law of Appreciation?
I found a way through stotrams, in which we praise the qualities of a deity, and through that praise, we begin to cultivate and attract those same qualities within ourselves.
For example, in the Kaal Bhairav Ashtakam, we praise Bhairava for being fearless.
So we say:
“Bhairava, you are fearless.”
And through repeatedly contemplating and praising that quality, we begin to cultivate fearlessness within ourselves.
Similarly, we praise Shiva for His compassion.
“Shiva, you are compassionate.”
And through that appreciation, we cultivate the qualities of compassion and forgiveness within ourselves.
“Shiva, you are wise.”
And through praising His wisdom, we begin to cultivate wisdom within ourselves.
Do you get my point?
It isn't feasible to praise someone every single day, even if they are wise, smart, good, and possess every other quality.
But with a deity, you can do this.
The deity will never say, “You are a fool.”
The deity will never say, “You are mad.”
The deity accepts you as a devotee, as a bhakta.
And yes, I am a devotee of Shiva, of Mahakaal, because this practice is fruitful and immensely powerful on both levels—material and spiritual.
One more thing I want to say at the end.
As Kalidasa suggested, in this world, whose heart does not melt when we appreciate their qualities and acknowledge who they are?
Everyone—including the devas—is moved when we appreciate their goodness and greatness.
We all want to hear good things about ourselves. That is human nature.
But perhaps even more human is the person who takes the effort to make others feel appreciated.
One last thing:
Shiva is Bhavani Pati—the one who is conquered and impressed only by bhava.
Bhava is nothing but the deep appreciation of Shiva's greatness, expressed through loud, clear, and melodious words.
If even Shiva can be moved by such devotion and appreciation, then what to say about ordinary human beings?
Learn the art of appreciation, and you will bring more beauty into your life.
Jai shri mahakaal.
