Reinvent The Self!

Love

Love

This blog series tries to wonder how love begets love, how love is the force through which everything can be reconciled, how the culmination of every understanding is in love!

  • The Monk, The Scorpion, and The Crocodile Nobody Mentions

    A meditation on saving, stinging, and the interpreter who must die There’s a parable you’ve probably heard. A monk sees a scorpion drowning in the river. He reaches down to save it. The scorpion stings him. He reaches again. Stung again. This continues — compassion meeting venom, over and over — until finally the scorpion Read More

  • The Democracy of Divine Expression: How Love Transcends Spiritual Performance

    In the quiet spaces between thought and understanding, we discover that consciousness itself knows no hierarchy of expression—only the infinite creativity of authentic being. The Fierce Love of Philosophical Giants There exists a story, perhaps apocryphal but deeply revealing, of the great Madhvacharya and his intense debate with his Advaitic guru. Here was a young Read More

  • Why Strategy Is a Derivative and Love the Underlying Asset

    In memory of all the dreams that died on the altar of strategy, and in celebration of all the miracles born from simple, unstrategic love. We live in an era obsessed with strategy. From boardrooms to battlegrounds, spiritual retreats to startup incubators, strategy is glorified as the master key to success. The strategist is seen Read More

  • The Primacy of Love: Why Strategy is Dead and Everything You Need Already Flows

    Today, strategy is over-glorified. We hire strategists, praise “strategic minds,” and fetishize pattern recognition. But this signals a fundamental loss of the plot. We have confused the blueprint for the building. In love—real love—goals arise not from ambition but from affection. The singer sings “Shriramachandra Preetyarthe”—to please Lord Ram—not because they planned to, but because Read More

  • The Gaze That Liberates: Observation, Decoherence, and the Path of Bhakti

    Preface This text is not an attempt to conflate spiritual realization with scientific theory. Rather, it seeks to draw resonant analogies that illuminate the structure of our experience. When invoking concepts like decoherence and observation, it is essential to recognize: it is the act of observation—not consciousness alone—which, in the language of quantum mechanics, metaphorically Read More

  • Śraddhā Dynamics – The Universal Protocol

    A Reality-Centered, Daemon-Resistant Algorithm for Recognition Inspired by Krishna’s two ultimate assurances: No garnish. No spiritual project management. The point is remembrance and clean action. Everything else—including this protocol—retires. A reality-centered protocol for living without spiritual project management. Śraddhā is the only actuator; methods are scaffolding; Love, Humility, Vairāgya, and Compassion are the weather after Read More

  • When Time Reveals Itself as Love’s Supreme Orchestra – A Sequel to The Laboratories of Love

    The Question That Changes Everything After recognizing the vast network of laboratories that consciousness has structured for our awakening – from the sandbox of mind through parents, friends, teachers, spouses, to the world and universe itself – a deeper question emerges, one that strikes at the very heart of existence: Who decides which laboratory appears Read More

  • The Laboratories of Love: How Consciousness Designed Its Own Awakening

    The Five Gates and the Silent Witness In the quiet hours before dawn, when the mind hovers between dream and waking, a profound mystery reveals itself. The ancient seers of India identified the karmendriya – five organs of action through which the river of karma flows into manifestation. These instruments – hands that shape reality, Read More

  • The Alchemy of Accommodation: How Love Transforms Consciousness Through Relationship

    A contemplation on the hidden mathematics of the heart I have been thinking about absurdity lately. Not the philosophical kind that Camus wrote about, but the lived experience of feeling utterly lost in a world that seems to offer no inherent meaning, no clear purpose, no obvious reason for our being here at all. We Read More

  • Perfection

    स्वयंफलरूपतेति ब्रह्मकुमारः ।।३०।। Love is its own reward-thus opine Brahma Kumaras The above verse is from Narada Bhakti Sutra. Bhakti begets Bhakti! It is independent. It is the fruit of itself! The choiceless awareness that I briefly tried to describe in the blog on freedom, is nothing but the witness. It is actually who I Read More

  • Yogakshemam Vahamyaham

    Yoga-Kshemam Vahamyaham This is perhaps one of the most cited and recited emphatic proclamations in Gita. And there are many commentaries and viewpoints associated with this stanza. Here, I would like to discuss 2 of the most commonly held viewpoints. Materialistic viewpoint: To those who are always absorbed in and continuously concentrate on only one Read More

  • Love – II

    The only medium through which a spiritual force can be transmitted is Love. -Swami Vivekananda Being compassionate is a privilege bestowed on us by Him. If not me, God could choose anyone else to help the deprived. I should always be grateful to God to have chosen me, for benefitting others. Besically, compassion is not Read More

  • Never Enough

    Practice of Awareness, to me, is the practice of being Aware of His presence everywhere, of being aware of His love for everyone. Any thought other than Him means I am unconscious. Any emotion other than love for Him means I am unconscious. Any act I do other than for Him means I am unconscious. Read More

  • Power and Love

    A person surrenders to the Police. I hate the usage of word surrender here. The better sentence could be “A person accedes to the Police”. The feeling of powerlessness, to some, might be a gateway to Surrender. And indeed, most of the Gita commentaries were written in the prison (Mahatma Gandhi, Vinoba Bhave, Bal Gangadhar Read More

  • Gratitude

    Once, my revered friend Joachim, in the School of Awakening, who I get to learn so many spiritual insights from, shared his question about the word gratitude. He said, “Why should we be grateful? It seems that gratitude can only result from a certain kind of thoughts about the past – friendly ones, nevertheless thoughts”. Read More

  • Love

    We have seen Faith and Fear as our ways to respond to Uncertainty. Love knows nothing like certainty or uncertainty. Love only knows this moment, Present Moment! Like the The Joker in the movie “Dark knight”, Love would say: “You know…I just Love. The ego has plans. The unconscious people have plans. Fearful people have got plans. Read More
