Meditation frustration

I have tried all kinds of methods of meditation. Nothing seems to work for me. And it leaves me frustrated. The biggest obstacle is that I don't know if what I am doing is the right way or not.
What does 'observing your breath' mean? What does 'feel if there's any tension in your feet' mean? I want to know which part of the feet do you want me to feel for tension- the top, the mid or the bottom?- I get caught in these things and can never do how that 'observing', 'feeling', 'noticing' is to be done. Pranayama is still doable because you are breathing in and out in different patterns. But then, that is not meditation. That is preparation towards meditation.

What is meditation then? Can anyone really meditate? I highly doubt!

This is so frustrating. And I have been experiencing this up and down relationship with meditation for almost 2 years now.

Can anyone help?

I don't want advice on instructions on how to do or not to do. I need to learn from experiences if any. Because clearly, getting instructions (like those in guided meditations) do not work for me.

Sigh.

Are there more alternatives to the Google ecosystem, like Proton?

I just signed-up on Proton, basically to explore. Not switching yet.
But I am curious to know if there are any other alternatives to the Google ecosystem as of today?

Alternatives to Dettol Antiseptic Liquid

I do not like the smell or the look of Dettol anymore. It is very hospital-y. What are the alternatives in Mumbai, India. Something that smells fresh and does the job of disinfection.

How would you depict the concept of Brahman, Ishvara, Maya and Jeeva through a visual/diagram/scribble?

Curious to know how different people think of it in their heads. You never which representation will align and strengthen your understanding of advaita vedanta and the universal truth of non-duality.

What are these orders? Who are the Gurus?

What are these different orders who teach self-realisation?

Who are the Gurus who will help me get to self-realisation?

Who decided these orders?

Who conferred the Gurus?

Does that mean that a man who cannot read, or who cannot hear, or who cannot see or has some other inability, or doesn't have the education to read, write or speak will not become self-realised?

Is it not this about what is between this jeeva and the Brahman?

What are these orders and who are Gurus separating them?

Apologies if anything I wrote or the tone of this post is not right. I do not mean to disrespect any teaching, order or Guru. 🙏

I need a lawyer. (Wrong traffic challans in Mumbai)

To present and fight my case against Mumbai Traffic Police. I have been issued traffic challans (wrong evidence) amounting to Rs. 21000 in 8 days.

I have submitted my grievances on the app but they are declining them at the rate of 2 challans per day.

Something definitely doesn't seem right about these challans. Most importantly I am 100% confident that the evidence (vehicle parking pictures) they have put on the app are wrong. So are their claims that the parking is causing obstruction and danger.

My vehicle has been parked adhering to the rules of that street.

Any lawyers here? Please message.

Frequent disconnection within the Google app workspace.

Fake, manufactured data and information.

Stupid and dumb responses.

The list goes on.

Legal advice needed: Mumbai Traffic Police issuing impossible fake challans after I paid a genuine one

I need legal advice regarding continuous harassment from the Mumbai Traffic Police. Over the last three days (16 to 18 July), I have received 5 false challans for my car under Section 122/177 MVA for allegedly causing danger or obstruction.

The system data proves this is a scam. On 17 July, their logs placed my car in Mumbai at 13:07. Just two hours later at 15:16, a challan was issued placing my car 1000 kilometres away in Chhattisgarh (Coordinates: 21.9200, 82.7799). By 16:50, the system logged the car back in Mumbai.

The photographic evidence on their own portal for the Mumbai tickets clearly shows my car parked perfectly parallel to a boundary fence. It is causing zero danger or obstruction. The same head constable (N\*\*\*\*\* Parihar) issued multiple of these tickets.

About two weeks ago, I received a genuine challan for wrong parking. I was actually at fault so I paid it instantly. I strongly suspect they saw this prompt payment and flagged my vehicle number as an easy target to exploit for more money.

I have raised grievances on the Mahatraffic portal and emailed the multimedia traffic cell with all the proof.

What are my legal options if they reject my online grievances? Can I file a formal complaint for harassment or extortion against the specific officer involved?

Mumbai Traffic Police: 5 false challans in 3 days including a 1000km trip in 2 hours

I want to highlight a massive system glitch or potential scam with the Mumbai Traffic Police challan system. I have received 5 consecutive false challans for my car between 16 July and 18 July.

The charge for all of them is Section 122/177 MVA for allegedly causing danger or obstruction.

Total of Rs. 7500 in 3 days!

Here is the most ridiculous part. On 17 July, their system logged my car in Mumbai at 13:07. Just two hours later at 15:16, a challan was generated placing my car in Chhattisgarh (Coordinates: 21.9200, 82.7799). An hour and a half later at 16:50, the system logged the car back in Mumbai. A 1000-kilometre trip and return in a few hours is physically impossible.

I checked the evidence photos for the Mumbai tickets on the portal. My car is parked perfectly parallel to a boundary fence in a line with other vehicles. It is causing absolutely zero danger or obstruction. To make matters worse, the same head constable (N***** Parihar) issued multiple of these tickets.

I have raised a grievance for each challan on the Mahatraffic portal citing wrong evidence and emailed the multimedia traffic cell with the proof.

Has anyone else faced this severe of a GPS tracking error or targeted harassment from the automated system? Any advice on how long it takes to get these cancelled would be helpful.

Any suggestions or advice on how should I move with this?
