A Short Intro


Seeing

Seeing is an act of touching the infinite with one’s own depth.

Understanding 2

Understanding is incomplete without awareness of what you do not know.

Unlocking Knowledge and Lessons

Understanding unlocks the knowledge in books. Inner growth unlocks the lessons in life.

Without Inner Growth

Without wealth, being poor. Without inner growth, thinking and acting against oneself.

The Deepest Ignorance

The deepest ignorance is being certain one knows something when one does not.

A Better Alternative to Aging

A better alternative to living as an old person is to live as a senior, who others need advice from.

Truly Helping Others 3

Genuinely helping others starts with helping oneself by addressing the inner obstacles.

What You See and What You Know 2

The seen is because of the unseen. The known is because of the unknown.

Deeper Than Truth

The cause of truth is deeper than the truth itself.

Something More Important Than Thoughts

What your thoughts reveal about you is often more important than what you think about.

Thinking Beyond Thinking

Thinking with awareness and intention is thinking beyond thinking.

In Charge of the Worlds

If we are not in charge of the inner world, we are not in charge of the outer world.

What You Want

What you want can enslave you if you do not know what will be lost for gaining it.

What Truly Matter

You miss what truly matters to you while chasing what you think matters.

Prosperity

Without inner prosperity, prosperity is a superficial shine that hides dark realities.

Self-Disconnection and Obstacles

Disconnection from oneself creates a great obstacle to oneself. If it is not, it would be the greatest obstacle.

Self-Disconnection and Actions

It is difficult to do what truly helps you but easy to do the opposite when you are disconnected from yourself.

Self-Disconnection and a Servant

Even with all the wealth and power, living disconnected from oneself makes one a servant.

A Brighter Future Through Benefiting Others

Benefiting others honors and repays the sacrifices and contributions of all living beings that made our lives possible, creating a brighter future for all.

Just Marks and Events

Without understanding, text is just marks. Without inner growth, life is just events.

Unlocking Knowledge and Lessons

Understanding unlocks the knowledge in books. Inner growth unlocks the lessons in life.

Self-Disconnection and Exploiters 2

Living disconnected from ourselves creates an environment in which deceivers and exploiters can thrive.

One Breath and One Lesson

One breath at a time and one lesson a day leads to growth and a brighter tomorrow.

No Time to Breathe

A busy mind has no time to breathe.

Breath and Wellness

Struggling to breathe indicates that something is not well. The same is true for struggling to be with the breath.

Eating Above Desire and Eating Below Desire

Eating above desire means eating for a purpose greater than satisfying hunger but the hunger is naturally satisfied. Eating below desire means eating to satisfy the desire.

Basic Human Knowledge

Understanding what your body and mind are doing is fundamental human knowledge. Without it, you become your own greatest obstacle regardless of how much you know.

Intelligence and Wisdom

Knowing truth is intelligence. Knowing truth in untruth is wisdom.

True Intelligence

Intelligence that is not aware of its own ignorance is not true intelligence.

Adults

One who speaks with genuine motivation to benefit others is an adult, especially if what he says can truly benefit them.

Giving Up Peace

To have hatred is to give up peace.

True Victory

True victory is a victory without losers, where everyone wins.

Our Power, Privilege and Gift

Acting with genuine motivation to benefit others is our power, privilege and gift as human beings that advance ourselves and the world.

Earning Money

The true value of earning money lies in the lessons it teaches.

Rediscovering Work

Work is a school of life. It is a place where you learn how to live. Salary is a scholarship.

Rediscovering Work 2

If you only work for money, you miss out on something more valuable. It is like going to school only for the scholarship while ignoring the lessons.

Information, Not Event

It is the information that you know, not the actual event itself, when you read, for example, a book that says the earth was formed four billion years ago.

The Best and Even Better

What you have now is the best you can have at the moment. Be grateful for it and use it well. You will have even better things in the future.

The Power of Mind Over Body

The mind has the power to heal and harm the body.

Gaining Without Seeking

The deepest gain comes not from what we take but from what we give with genuine motivation and intention without expecting anything in return.

Honoring Being Alive

Through our daily choices, we can honor the profound reality that we are alive.

Ordinary Acts as Celebrations

We can celebrate the profound reality that we are alive through our ordinary actions with intention, joy and gratitude.
