Has anyone felt that they are in a situation where they feel trapped but comfortable. But inside of them is not happy at all. The only reason they are working is to pay bills and just surviving.
Is there a way out where ego is ready to let go of survival instincts and get ready to take step back and can explore more options.

Free will action comes with a lot of challenges and struggles. A thought of change makes ego alarmed.
Ego always wants a safe plan to escape the idea of change and try to convince that coming change is risky.

Have we noticed when the change is luxurious and makes ego fatten it never complains. It gets more excited. For example, when it comes to move from bundle to a tiny house. It starts crying. And proclaim it as a failure. I know this definition of success and failure comes from society. At the end of the day, we face society we live there so even if we want to ignore that perspective it still somewhere presents itself.

Has anyone taken a big leap from moving high-> low. What we call success-> failure(in terms of society)

Social media platforms, friends, neighbors, strangers. I have noticed them screaming on someone, frustrated mood. When they shout or take out anger they feel better.

And the people they are always venting out is weak person. What do you think the reason of their such frustration? Can it ever be resolved?

So, I have noticed a pattern that when I watch reels my brain goes through different emotions and experiences.
I am simply sitting in a good mood and suddenly, I watched aggressive videos related animal abuse I find myself getting angry and cry and after 4 or 5 mins a different reel with songs just change my mind again. I am amused by song and video.

It just made me think that, can I really control my emotions by putting myself through particular videos. I can feel whatever I want to feel.

I have been swimming in a lake and with 25 yard of swimming, I get so tired that I have to take rest and I float and then do doggy paddle so I can keep breathing from nose.
What kind of swimming technique others are using?

Recently, In a conversation I have come across these questions like what will you do if you are stuck in a place where there is no crops available and only way of survival is just meat like fish and other water creatures. Would you go for days without eating any meat? Or will you hunt for your survival?

Recently, I had an interview and I had to look representable. I put a lipstick on. I am the person who never enjoyed male up, I remember having a make up first time and it felt so heavy on my skin. I just wanted to get rid of that extra skin and after listening Acharya ji it made all sense to me.

I was watching this documentary on amazon prime regarding makeup “toxic beauty” . It showed how use of talcum powder lead to cancer. And more skin disease. I am really finding hard time to understand after all this growth in medical/ technology we have found solutions of disease but at the sane time we have given birth to so many other diseases which never existed before.

Nowadays, every 1 in 4 women in the USA you will find them wearing makeup. Even police officer putting make up. Thats a field job, you really need make up there? Waking up an hour early just to put plastic on face?

Isn’t there any way we can stop using makeup and having other people accept the fact. Your beauty comes from inside not outside?

I have noticed in west people are confused the way Hindu worship god. They think Hindus have millions of god to pray. Become skeptical that which god should I call when I am in danger or while eating food.
How would one can explain about Hinduism to one who doesn’t know about the religion?

I wanted to know that as someone who is applying for green card through marriage and working on Stem opt what other forms can be filed parallel?

They are providing IVF and other benefits accessible to the people to encourage them to have more babies. What we have done with our technology use? It was made to help people make their problems easier. But what EGO did? Consumed it with open mouth. We can see how overpopulation is affecting the planet, we don’t have enough left, still we don’t want to stop 🛑. And those who are getting aware, they are being lured to these schemes.
“The birth rate decline is considered as serious challenge “ this is their quote. Where is this quote “ climate change is a serious problem right now” So, we should do something about that.
Who is still believing these propaganda?
We need to stop ✋. Enough is enough

There is a interesting fact I read when logistic growth of any species goes beyond the ecosystem can provide then, ecosystem collapse itself and decrease the species growth, So I think we all human are waiting for that to happen.

We think development has brought lot of good change. Made lot of progress throughout time. Have made people life easier.
In my opinion, this development has destroyed nature more worse than ever before. In the name of any development all I have seen is destruction.
I feel like more development needs to stop now.

Lately I’ve been feeling that most climate conversations stay trapped in data, outrage, or political arguments — but rarely touch the deeper question:

Why are human beings living in ways that are destroying both the planet and themselves?

That’s honestly why discovering Acharya Prashant’s talks felt different to me.

He doesn’t speak about climate change as just an environmental issue. He connects it to consumerism, endless desire, distraction, comparison, and the way modern life keeps us psychologically restless and constantly consuming.

And its not about people should agree with him or not, many of the realities he talks about are already visible around us:
climate instability, burnout, loneliness, overconsumption, rising anxiety, ecological destruction.

At some point these stop feeling like abstract debates and start feeling impossible to ignore.

I recently saw that he’s speaking in the UK, including sessions around Cambridge, and surprisingly they’re free to attend. I genuinely feel more people — especially students, researchers, climate-conscious people, and anyone questioning where society is heading — may find the discussion worth listening to.

Not because it offers comforting answers.
But because it asks difficult questions most conversations avoid.

The temperature is decent in Massachusetts. Water is cold in the pool but as soon as I went inside my body froze up. It’s extremely cold, my body forgot how to swim in this cold water.
I thought we can swim in cold water but I think body doesn’t support it. Does it happen to anyone else?
