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.

Beyond Words: Silence as the Highest Expression of Truth
Ramana Maharshi declared, “The only language able to express the whole truth is silence.” In Advaita Vedanta, the Self is beyond knowledge and ignorance, beyond light and darkness. Words divide, but silence holds unity. Ramana’s presence itself was a teaching—those who sat with him often felt peace beyond explanation. Silence is not absence but fullness: the stillness in which the Self shines without obstruction. To abide in this silence is to realize that truth is not something to be reached but what we already are—pure being, ever free. Explore Ramana Maharshi’s teaching that silence is the highest expression of truth in Advaita Vedanta, where words fail but being alone remains.
From Metaphysical Weariness to Self-Realization
There are moments in life when fatigue runs deeper than the body or mind—it’s a weariness of existence itself. Not depression, not despair, but a quiet recognition that life as we know it may be part of a grander cosmic play. In this exchange, I explore this metaphysical tiredness through the lens of Advaita Vedanta and the teachings of Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta Maharaj, and J. Krishnamurti. What emerges is a simple yet profound daily contemplative routine—an invitation to step beyond egoic striving and rest in pure Awareness, where true happiness and freedom reside.
The Real Problem: “Who am I?”
The author reflects on being labeled a “psychopath” and feeling ridiculed, emphasizing that self-identity can lead to suffering. Regardless of misunderstanding, they advocate for seeking one’s true identity through contemplation to escape crises linked to perceived separateness. They suggest mental renunciation and introspection as paths to understanding nondual truth.
