Yes, at the very moment when you think it’s enough and you should now leave everything or go to the mountains or to the next trip, at that very moment the escapism from “what is” takes us away from the void of the inner self — the very void that gives us the wake-up call to understand reality. This call is the silence between the thoughts, a silence that raises no voice. Instead of understanding the void or Stillness , we choose escapism or Chaos — we choose to run away. Understanding this silence is not easy. It shakes you from the depths of your being and reveals that there is no inherent meaning in life — and that what is truly needed is choiceless awareness, a freedom that does not depend on conditions. This freedom of the self does not want you to run away under the name of “travelling,” actually it asks to take a deep dive into the self.

Do you recall ever having the thirst to search for the truth or the meaning of li...

Why Do We Feel Bored? A Path from Emptiness to Fulfillment Have you ever felt bored and immediately looked for something to do — maybe shopping, going to a party, drinking, or planning a vacation? Most of us have. But have we ever stopped to ask why we feel bored in the first place? Is it just a need to keep busy, or is there something deeper going on inside us? This post explores the hidden reasons behind boredom and how our attempts to escape it often lead to overconsumption — which is not only harmful to us but also to our planet . Understanding Boredom and Loneliness When we are alone or not busy, we often feel uneasy. This discomfort is usually labeled as boredom . To escape it, we reach for our phones, go shopping, or plan outings. But what if this boredom is actually a signal — a sign of something deeper within us that needs our attention? This sense of inner emptiness isn’t something bad. It’s part of being human. Instead of avoiding it, we can ask ourselves: Where...
