What has Shakespeare or Socrates to do with Shankaracharya? Nothing. Shakespeare glorifies the theater of Maya, making us weep and laugh at dream-characters. Socrates spins webs of thought, trapping us in endless dialogue. Both literature and philosophy grant solidity to illusion, deepening our bondage to samsara. Shankaracharya is not another voice in their marketplace; he is the firebrand who torches the whole bazaar. Brahma Satyam, Jagat Mithya—the world is false, Brahman alone is real. Advaita is not here to polish the dream but to shatter it. Wake up. The play is over.

On Watching The Bengal Files: A “Complex Truth”
Watching Bengal Files reminded me of an old debate topic: “Truth is Complex.” The film doesn’t just depict communal carnage; it forces us to confront the deeper, persistent reality of violence. From history’s atrocities to the everyday sharp word or dismissive gesture, violence is not an exception—it is the undercurrent of human life. As Krishnamurti said, even separating ourselves by religion or nationality is a subtle form of violence. The movie, in its raw way, pushes us to ask: can truth ever be simple?

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.
