Why I Have Gone Into Seclusion


In this candid reflection, Sam opens up about stepping away from social chatter and phone calls—not out of indifference, but as an act of quiet rebellion against the noise of life. He muses that most of our problems arise from the restless mind and its endless buzz, which we often mistake for living. Through this introspective note, he invites readers to pause, sip coffee at sunset, and ponder whether peace begins where the “I, Me, Mine” ends. Honest, humorous, and deeply meditative, Sam’s farewell is less a goodbye and more a gentle nudge toward inner stillness.

Layers of Truth – Philosophical Debate between Perspective Mapper & Sam, Mediated by Claude.ai


Is truth layered or singular? In this voice-led dialogue, Ranjit argues for levels of truth—conventional to ultimate—drawing on Vedanta, Buddhism, and lived context. Sam insists on “naked” nonduality: in the absolute, neither love nor compassion can arise because there is no second. Both concede a paradox: ultimate reality must speak through dual words, bodies, and choices. Meeting people where they are (upaya) becomes the bridge. Sartre’s freedom, Shankara’s clarity, and Christ’s command to love surface as touchstones. Finally, they converge: truth may be one, yet when it moves through the relative world, its authentic signature is love and compassion. Naturally.

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.

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.
