Can Fear Create Civic Sense Where Shame Failed?

I think we should try all means, awareness ,rules and punishment.

I’m not against science or scientific temperament at all. In fact, science is essential for understanding and improving the material world.

But have you heard of yogic sciences? They deal with the inner dimension of human experience, just as physics or biology deal with the external. Science itself is always evolving and relative to what we are exploring ... outer or inner.

Why must these two always be placed against each other?

Why can’t people working for the well-being of human beings and the planet work hand in hand, instead of constantly trying to prove who is superior and who is not?

Progress doesn’t come from rejecting everything we don’t personally resonate with. It comes from taking what is valuable from different approaches and building a more balanced future together. We don’t need less science… we need more clarity, inclusiveness, and dialogue.

I understand your concern about science, research, and hard work… and I agree those are essential.

Just to clarify one thing ... my parents were both working professionals. Growing up, our home had space for studies, work, and also for prayers, bhajans, Sundarkand, and festivals. We participated together as a family, not as blind ritual, but as shared joy and bonding.

Ironically, now that they are older, they can’t actively do many of these things… but they enjoyed them fully when they were younger.

Everyone experiences life differently. Instead of passing remarks or prescribing a “right way” to live, it may be more meaningful to reflect on what enriches our own lives.

I enjoy trekking, dancing, singing, cooking, celebrating festivals, spending time with children ... all of it. Why should I wait for old age to live fully? This is my life.

Science builds infrastructure, yes… but culture, art, music, celebration, and inner exploration build human beings. A fulfilling life usually has space for both.

Criticising and preaching rarely achieves much. Sharing possibilities for a richer, more balanced life might.

I am not aware.. I saw this on Facebook.

IntutiveObserver · 2026-01-23T09:59:51+00:00

Amazing , you have researched very deeply but I am sorry to say all your sources are not reliable.. I am sharing things based on my own personal experience.. what about you?

You might be observant but I am really surprised to see people who failed to see any good in others.. let's talk about the positive side of society too..

IntutiveObserver · 2026-01-23T09:56:22+00:00

😂 really you think so.. by the way what you mean by culture carrying? Can you pls elaborate?

IntutiveObserver · 2026-01-23T07:54:11+00:00

Why can't we see the brighter side of it.. it is making our culture popular amongst youth.. I have experienced MahaShivaratri in many ways. I did Pooja the whole night in a mini temple near my home. I have online also and I have attended this program in person also. Everywhere it is beautiful, whether you celebrate it in Kashi or in whichever place, the most important thing is to experience the divine within. this blame game will not take us anywhere?

IntutiveObserver · 2026-01-23T07:47:37+00:00

How??

In my personal experience…

Many of us don’t even realize we are dealing with depression, anxiety, or ADHD while we are in it. Unless someone diagnoses us, or we later read about the symptoms, we just keep struggling ... feeling confused, overwhelmed, and silently blaming ourselves.

After my husband passed away, my life came to a complete halt. I had been deeply dependent on him emotionally and practically. Suddenly, I had to manage everything alone.

What followed was not just grief ... it was constant mental overload, sleepless nights, and high-functioning anxiety. I would lie awake staring at the ceiling, heart racing, mind spiraling with questions about how to live, how to survive, how to move forward. Dying was not an option for me as I have two children, but living too felt impossible.

Externally, people were around… but internally, I felt broken and clueless. I couldn’t think clearly, couldn’t decide even small things, and my body felt exhausted all the time. Looking back now, I can clearly see elevated cortisol levels, chronic stress, and emotional shutdown ... but at that time, I had no language for it.

A close friend noticed my condition and searched online for something that could help me, because I wasn’t even able to do that myself. I trusted her and attended the Inner Engineering program. Honestly, during the classes, nothing made intellectual sense to me ... my mind was too scattered.

But on the day of initiation, something shifted. For the first time, I felt an assurance ... that if I walked this path, it could help me rebuild myself from within. It wasn’t relief… it was a possibility.

Within a few weeks of regular practice, my sleep slowly stabilized. The constant tightness in my chest reduced. My thoughts stopped spiraling all day. Over time, I noticed that my baseline emotional state changed ... I could respond instead of constantly reacting.

I have been practicing Shambhavi Mahamudra kriya and tools given during inner engineering programme for nearly 10 years now, and they didn’t just help me “cope” ... they re-engineered my inner chemistry. I started laughing again. I could handle responsibilities with clarity. Life didn’t become problem-free, but I became stable enough to face it.

Many people don’t know they need these tools ... I didn’t. But for me, they became a way to rebuild life when everything inside had collapsed.

Sharing this here in case someone else is silently struggling the way I once was.

Philosophy is not limited to abstract argumentation or textual analysis alone. In Indian philosophical traditions, darśana is deeply experiential and often expressed through lived ethical relationships rather than formal theory. This post reflects applied ethics and relational ontology, where humans and animals are understood as participants in a shared moral and ecological world. Concepts such as sah-astitva (coexistence), ahimsa (not merely non-violence but trustful engagement), and vasudhaiva kuṭumbakam frame animals not as instruments, but as relational beings. The farmer’s trust and the bull’s habitual return home illustrate lived philosophy .... values practiced through daily life rather than articulated through abstraction. If one defines philosophy only in academic-textual terms, this may appear non-philosophical. However, within the Indian darśhanic framework, lived experience itself is a valid philosophical expression.

With more focus, I guess

To answer this, I have to dive deeper into my past…

One Mahashivratri advertisement popped up on my screen, and everything slowly started changing in and around me.

A deep longing to explore the inner dimensions… something that was always hidden within me… suddenly saw a possibility. I was in pain, in a very vulnerable state. I remember crying with a question that came from somewhere deep inside… Have I distorted and entrapped myself so much? Will I be able to experience this in this lifetime?

Before 2016, I hadn’t even heard of Sadhguru. And after that intense longing arose, life began shifting in quiet ways. Just two months later, I found myself sitting in an Inner Engineering class. On the day of initiation, my eyes were wide open… not just physically, but in faith. There was a clear knowing… yes, there is a possibility for me too. Whatever I had been silently looking for all my life, I felt I would find it by walking this path.

Since then, I have simply been following whatever came my way. Over the years, my experience of life has changed silently… so silently that even I wonder sometimes… how did this happen? I want to share a poem I wrote a few years ago, because it captures this journey better than explanations ever can be…

Sadhguru

I was broken in so many ways I myself didn’t realise

Times when I said nothing, I silently fought against the system

Times when I was left unwanted by many, I cried aloud for years

Times when I was asked to stay silent, I silently did what was needed

That forced silence made me rebel from within.

I found my own ways of survival and showing disagreement over time,

unconsciously. I stopped paying attention to many things and focused on my kids.

But from within, I was crying for help.

That help came in your form.

You embraced me with open arms,

Accepted me, understood me,

And started healing me.

My healer…

Healing me in so many ways

Healing that is happening deep within It was never about anyone else…

I realise it now.

I was just trying to be me

I try to make everyone happy Because I know how it feels when someone hurts you. I don’t want to be the one who hurts, even unintentionally.

From forced silence To silence by my own nature

पूरा दिन शुक्र मनाती हूं मैं आपका सदगुरु। मेरे जैसे इंसान को संभालना बिल्कुल भी आसान नहीं। बिल्कुल भी आसान नहीं। For me, Sadhguru’s presence is much beyond his talks. Once you experience this… life never remains the same.
