At a stage where favorite cricketers are retiring and actors are passing away only to realize that no longer the childhood remains but remains — a dream how it should have serene!
Era ends. Era begins.
“Let the past slip into a future of becoming, not becoming a past again.”
Naval Ravikant: "You're going to die. It's all going to zero. What's there to stress about?"
"Stress is when your mind has two conflicting desires at once. You want to be liked, but you want to do something selfish. You don't want to go to work, but you want to make money. You have two conflicting desires, and that's stress."
Most people use stress and anxiety interchangeably. Naval says they're different things:
"Anxiety is this pervasive, unidentifiable stress where you're stressed out all the time and you're not even sure why. The reason is you have so many unresolved problems that have piled up in your life, you can no longer identify what the problems are. There's this mountain of garbage in your mind. A little bit is poking out the top like an iceberg; that's anxiety. But underneath, there's a lot of unresolved things."
His fix for it is thinking about death:
"One big anxiety resolver for me is just ruminating on death. You're going to die. It's all going to zero. You cannot take anything with you. If you can keep that idea in front of you at all times, what's there to stress about?"
Which raises a question. If nothing matters, isn't all time wasted?
"What is wasted time? Everything is wasted time in a sense because nothing matters in the ultimate. But in each moment, it's the only thing that matters. So if you're doing something you want to do and you're fully there for it it's not wasted time. If your mind is running away, wishing you were somewhere else, anticipating the future, regretting the past, that's wasted time. That's time you're not present for."
And the part most people miss:
"People get worried about dying and no longer being here. But they don't realize that so much of their life is spent not being here in any case."
Indeed without this opulent vitality and opulent intellectuality India could never have done so much as she did with her spiritual tendencies.

1/ My three-volume history places the Indian subcontinent at the centre of world civilisation. On the question of continuity, it is the most impressive case on earth, and the one Western scholarship has most consistently underestimated.
2/ At Bhimbetka's 30,000-year-old paintings, a dancing deity with bangles and trident immediately recalls the dancing Shiva of today, as Michael Wood observed, and as I cite in my own work. A 14,000-year-old yoni stone near Allahabad was recognised on sight by local villagers. This demonstrates continuity. Therefore the seal is a middle chapter in the whole story.
3/ The argument that Indian sacred symbols require a Elamite or steppe source was constructed in the 19th century by Max Muller, who never visited India. He later called his 1,500 BC date for the Rig Veda 'merely hypothetical.' Subsequent historians copied the original date and ignored the retraction. Voltaire said 'everything has come to us from the banks of the Ganges.' He was wrong about most things but right about this.
