The elephant represents immense strength combined with absolute peace. It is a highly intelligent, non-violent creature that creates paths in the dense jungle without needlessly harming others.

In other matters of life, we say things are never black and white.

But when it comes to Truth, there's a binary, what's false is false. A lie is a lie.

Lokdharm lives in moderation and balance because it saves them from confronting their lies and dishonesty on the inside and responsibility on the outside.

>Translation:

>Questioner: Why is studying so important? It feels like a massive burden to me.

>Acharya Prashant: You will be forced into slavery if you don’t earn for yourself. And you cannot earn without knowledge and education.

>Questioner: But sir, doing a 9-to-5 job is also a form of slavery.

>Acharya Prashant: A job is a slavery with some rights- you have the power to resign from it. The other kind of slavery (financial dependency) is one where you can't even resign. You become a bonded laborer.

>I am not saying you need to mindlessly collect degrees. But basic education is necessary to understand the world. Don't waste your efforts, but do enough to stand on your own two feet. Be financially free. Just do this much.

>Otherwise, who will you beg for money? And remember, whoever gives it to you will extract a very heavy price in return. So get a job, be independent, and keep striving for better things in life without settling.

The video perfectly captures why financial independence is a core pillar of feminism and personal autonomy. In our society, women are often conditioned to rely on their parents or husbands financially.

But as the speaker points out, when you depend on someone else for your survival, they extract a "heavy price", which usually means stripping away your boundaries, self-respect, and decision-making power.

We often joke about "corporate slavery," but a toxic job is something you can eventually quit. A toxic marriage or a toxic household where you have zero money of your own traps you like a "bonded laborer."

Ego gets intellectual understanding of theories, concepts, comparisons. It intakes everything but refuses to look at itself.

Moreover because of all it has accumulated, it has a plethora of concepts, words, theories and definitions to argue against and refute someone else's insistence to look at itself.

And life is short, the intellectual ego can successfully evade looking at itself.

What's your favourite scene from a BOLLYWOOD movie and why ?

I mean whyyy.??

The left and the right both support the traditional lokdharmic interpretation of Gita.

Can we introspect instead of just celebration? Celebration is good but what if the same things that enslaved us are still alive today as a part of us?

Going from faking confidence to having inner clarity:

If you want to be recognised in your workplace and there's a presentation and your salary and future aspirations are on the line then you are bound to have the fear of messing up and so need to act confident on surface but still shake in terror underneath.

If you know that the reason behind your presentation is simply to do your best work and that others opinion do not really matter. You do your work because it's important to you over anything else. Then neither confidence or willpower are needed. Clarity is enough.

Just thinking this won't remove your need for fake confidence tho, if you just think like this or adopt this as an attitude but still want all those things underneath then you'll shake anyway, for clarity you need to observe and question who you are right now, acknowledge what you desire and see that your fear stems because of it. Then little by little you leave the things that enslave you behind you.

Planting trees already isn't that effective if we actually want to stop climate change but we remove old trees and forests on top of that which were absorbing lots and lots of CO2 for us.

It's not just a mistake by contractor or government, it's a refusal to acknowledge the real problem.

It's not just a mistake by contractor or government, it's a refusal to acknowledge the real problem and the real solution it requires.
