If you are serious about mastering your life, you can't afford to expose yourself to random information.

Each piece of information entering your brain affects your neural network.

By curating your information consumption you take a step to shape your mind consciously.

...something outrageous.. like a cremation ground.. along with it, adding divinity, feminity and motherhood to that personification. a fierce form yet radiating peace, solace and an anchor.. the divine mother of the cremation grounds.. Shmashaan Kaali!

few schools of philosophy of the Indian subcontinent did something revolutionary, they didnt just try to personify a vast infinite supreme god concept, but some had the audacity to push it further and associate that god factor with something ostracised by a general society..

...your walls keep the winter out. the locked doors keep danger away.. the blanket wraps around you like a small, personal universe.

gratitude settles in your chest. you feel lucky. you feel fortunate.

[Pranjal Bhattacharjee @PoseidonSpake]

imagine this.. its 12:43 midnight. winter is already knocking on the door. you just got into your bed. there's a mild chill. you have a comfortable blanket. outside, the cold breeze moves freely. but you are inside.. sheltered, protected...

it's interesting how those foreign starch balls became such an indistinguishable part of our culture and adorned the form of a pious spiritual God food but instead it is nothing but an ultra-processed starch bomb!

the quintessential, most traditional food item during every typical sylheti bengali puja is not at all traditional. used in preparing "naivaidyam" (nobid, as we say), I am talking about the beloved sagoo or sabudana. it was introduced in our country at around 1940s perhaps.

In pursuit of Nirvana, Gautama Buddha gives up food and water. Later he realises that extreme deprivation for a cause is no different than greed.
As to not want, is also a want.
Close to death, the Buddha accepts a bowl of rice from Sujata and decides to take the middle path.

The coherence in every system of nature which the mystics and the scientists both pursue, is the same layered intelligence; the grand and precise artistry of existence.

@elonmusk most of the people are busy solving the puzzle. very few seem to have gotten the sarcasm.

a keen and sharp mind is useful to the nation and the world only if it comes with a warm heart.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

If children only sharpen their brains at school, there’s no guarantee they won’t go on to make trouble. To balance their keen brains, they need a warm heart. The more compassionate they learn to be, the more useful members of society they’re likely to become.

Eyes closed.
To picture rhythms of music. To manifest distinct tastes in colours. To embody an abstract aroma dancing with a pale nostalgia, unfounded. Shape of a touch.
And painting on absolute blackness.

Our Earth.. The pale blue dot!

Those who can be more right in their judgements even with limited information, will consistently be picked to lead.

Moving in groups may have added as an evolutionary advantage in survival to humanity, and still gets most of the work done in present times. But exceptionalism and breakthroughs have always been the product of reclusive minds. Groups limit extraordinaire.
