Walking the Middle Path: A Daily Guiding Note for Peace


At 75+, with a fulfilled life behind me and a peaceful present, I was advised by my relative Sam, a student of Advaita, to forget the world, ignore mind and heart, and simply live in awareness. Instead of renouncing life entirely, I now follow a middle path. Each day I care for my body, enjoy family and friends lightly, and watch desires without clinging. Morning quietude, small acts of kindness, and evening reflection keep me steady. Life’s forms may rise and fall like pots of clay, but peace rests in the awareness that is never broken.

Justice, Injustice, and the Law of Karma: A Vedantic Reflection


“We deserve all the justices and injustices that happen to us in life.” This aphorism holds weight when seen through the law of karma and Advaita Vedanta. The Bhagavad Gita teaches that while we must act against adharma, the outcomes—justice or injustice—unfold according to past karma. What appears as unfair is not random, but a ripened consequence (prārabdha) shaping our soul’s journey. For the realized Self, untouched by dualities, justice and injustice dissolve altogether. To act dharmically while surrendering fruits is the highest freedom.

Hindus, Christians, and Muslims


When I say “Hindus are fools, Christians are fools, and Muslims—don’t even ask—are the biggest fools,” it is not about communities but about ignorance itself. Advaita Vedānta teaches that as long as we cling to rituals, dogmas, and imagined separations, we remain bound by Māyā. The fool is not the Hindu, Christian, or Muslim, but the mind that mistakes the finger pointing to the moon for the moon itself. Wisdom dawns only when we see beyond labels and realize the Self—one without a second. All else is shadow-play.

Svadharma


Svadharma is the unique duty aligned with one’s nature, skills, and circumstances, emphasized in the Bhagavad Gita. It involves self-reflection and discovering personal strengths and passions to fulfill individual and societal roles. Unlike universal duties, svadharma is personalized, guiding moral and spiritual growth while fostering harmony in society.
