Why Travel Is Good For You

Image
We all get amazed when we think of traveling to a new place that we heard from our friends, relatives, or via the internet. We create a list of the places that we would like to visit so that none of them got missed. These travel experiences are very important to build our personality and provide us a positive attitude towards life.  Not only we use to learn about new places, cultural heritage, traditions, and how there is so much diversity in this beautiful world. While traveling we use to meet new people and try to understand the way of their living.

You can always carry a good camera to click the monuments or natural beauty of that place to always keep alive the memories with you. Why you should travel? 1. Travel reveals the truth of you When you go to a new place you come out from your comfort zone and hence you have the best possibility to identify the truth ...

Life is so precious

Image
Life is incredibly precious, and each moment is a gift from God. We only need to approach it with the curiosity of a child, unwrapping it with an open heart to discover what lies within. As we embrace our childlike nature, the external knowledge we have accumulated throughout our lives begins to fade away, and we start accepting the existence of God without questioning the teachings we've received thus far. We have been taught that we belong to a specific religion and should not follow the teachings of other religions. Hindus are told not to enter a Muslim mosque or Jain temple, while Muslims are discouraged from praying in Hindu temples or Christian churches. To truly know God, we must let go of this inherited knowledge that has been passed down for thousands of years and adopt the innocent mind of a child. In doing so, we can feel the presence of God in even the tiniest particles created by Him, permeating every corner of the universe. This childlike mindset serves as the first s...

What If You Woke Up Transformed into a Cockroach?

Image
  The Utilitarian View of Being Human and the Feeling of Absurd Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis is one of the most powerful allegories in literature, revealing the stark realities of human existence. Through the surreal transformation of Gregor Samsa into a giant insect, Kafka explores the fragility of identity, the burdens of family and societal expectations, and the existential absurdity of life. This novella invites reflection on the utilitarian view of being human , wherein an individual's worth is determined by their ability to serve others. Simultaneously, the story illuminates the feeling of absurdity —the dissonance between humanity’s search for meaning and the chaotic, indifferent reality of life. In this article, we will explore how Kafka’s novella encapsulates these two philosophical dimensions and what it teaches us about the human condition. Gregor Samsa as a Victim of Utilitarianism From the very beginning of The Metamorphosis , it is clear that Gregor Samsa’s existe...

Why there is always a War Zone around the World?

Image
Humans have engaged in approximately 15,000 wars over the past 3,000 years, averaging around 5 conflicts per year. As I write, two conflicts persist, claiming thousands of lives: Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas in Gaza. These are full-fledged wars, and if we include the Cold War and indirect battles, the list extends, highlighting a global landscape marred by strife. Asia contends within itself (India-Pakistan, China-Taiwan) and beyond; that the USA clashes with Russia, China, Iran, North Korea etc. The reasons vary, from asserting superpower status to economic dominance or territorial expansion often weakening national sovereignties. Conflict, in all its forms, defines our world today. Digging deeper, we find a fundamental truth ingrained in human consciousness—an incessant pursuit of what we lack , ignoring what we possess. Whether chasing material wealth, power, or regional conflicts the yearning for acquisition persists. The inevitable query arises: What's amiss in seeking new ...

The False Illusion of 'I': Transcending the Observer and Experiencer

Image
The False Illusion of 'I': Transcending the Observer and Experiencer Throughout human history, thinkers, mystics, and philosophers have pondered the nature of selfhood. Who or what is the "I" that observes, thinks, and experiences? Is there truly an observer distinct from the observed, or is this duality a mere illusion? This article delves into these profound questions, examining the nature of the self, the illusion of separation, and the path to transcending this false division. The Illusion of the Observer One of the fundamental misconceptions of human consciousness is the belief in an independent observer. The mind assumes that there is a fixed "I" that perceives reality, separate from thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This belief is deeply ingrained, leading to the assumption that the observer exists as an entity distinct from what is observed. However, if we examine this assumption closely, we see that the observer is not separate—it arises in the v...

International Yoga Day: Embracing the Ancient Science of Inner Harmony

Image
Every year, June 21st is celebrated as International Yoga Day , a tribute to one of India’s greatest gifts to the world—Yoga. Beyond the colourful displays of asanas across parks and global landmarks lies a deeper story—of a tradition rooted in spiritual pursuit, inner discipline, and profound philosophy. 🧘‍♂️ What is Yoga? The word "Yoga" is derived from the Sanskrit root “Yuj” , meaning “to unite.” Yoga signifies the union of individual consciousness with the universal consciousness. Although often identified with physical postures, Yoga is a holistic spiritual discipline combining asana (postures), pranayama (breath control), meditation, ethics , and ultimately liberation (moksha) . 📜 Historical Roots of Yoga in India Yoga is not a modern wellness trend. Its origins date back over 5,000 years to the Indus Valley Civilization , where ancient seals depict yogic figures in meditative poses. Textual references to Yoga appear in the Rig Veda , and its philosophies ...
