Musing on love, death, purpose, growth, and the beautiful mess of being human.
We often say, "This person feels different, somehow deeper than others." What do we call such a person? An "old soul." But what does that really mean? Is it a spiritual tag or something we can understand scientifically? Let's explore this concept in depth, from both philosophical and logical perspectives.
From my perspective, human beings are not just of two types. There exists a third category rare, but real. These are not believers in the traditional sense, nor deniers in the scientific sense
Karma is not just about every action you do. It’s more about the intention behind your action. Like when you do something, what was going on in your mind at that time? What was your intention? That makes a big difference.
Have you ever found yourself trapped in a dream that plays on repeat? Perhaps you're perpetually late for an exam, endlessly falling, or being chased by an unseen force. These recurring dreams aren't mere nocturnal reruns; they're the subconscious mind's way of sending encrypted messages, urging us to pay attention.
Have you ever woken up thinking, “Why do I keep having that same dream?” Maybe it’s a familiar room, a certain person, or a strange loop that plays out again and again in your sleep. Recurring dreams aren’t just random leftovers of your day..
In the age of data, speed, and distraction, death has become something to avoid, ignore, or sanitize. We wrap it in euphemisms — “passed away,” “no longer with us,” “gone too soon.” Modern culture tends to treat death like a failure — a glitch in the system of life. But for our ancestors, death was not an end. It was an initiation.
In an era dominated by speed, noise, and endless to-do lists, the idea of “doing nothing” seems rebellious. We’re conditioned to hustle, accumulate, solve, produce. Yet some of life’s deepest truths emerge not through effort, but through stillness. Emptiness often feared, avoided, or misunderstood — can be one of our greatest teachers.
Growth, at its core, is a natural and inevitable part of life. From the microscopic unfolding of a seed into a tree to the cosmic evolution of stars, expansion is woven into the fabric of existence. But when it comes to human beings—our psyche, soul, and spirit—growth doesn’t always feel graceful. It often feels like pain.
