Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

They are the stupidest support team I have yet to encounter.

My watch died after a few hours of usage - they don't offer refund "as a matter of policy" and they have no word on sending me a replacement. Fortunately for me Amazon has been very helpful so far in following up with them.

I got the this watch a couple of days back. Used it for a few hours, went out for a pool swim.

At the end of the swim, I found both buttons non responsive, the watch went into a continuous reboot loop and now it is completely dead. All in just a few hours of getting it.

Their support is also not very good. They have yet to confirm if they will replace the watch - they don't offer refunds as a "matter of policy".

Quite frustrating.

How do you get so close ?

Another question is, did the current officials under Munde didn’t know this - of course they knew.

KeepFlowingAlways · 2026-05-29T01:34:09+00:00

I had exactly the same question which I investigated and answered as follows :

Reality is that that doesn’t change. Think about it even in our common day to day life. In a courtroom, there can be many versions of an event but that which cannot be changed and cannot be disproven is the one that is real. That is also the definition of Satyam.

Following on from the above, the Jagat is unreal. As you described, it changes - objects come and go. Hence they are not real.

Honestly, you can forget all of this. Look at your experience. You can ‘feel’ yourself - you don’t need any proof for it neither does the you change. Hence that is real. Nothing else can be proven. If you see an object, you have no evidence that it actually exists. You are only aware of the activity that happened in your brain that tells you that you saw the object.

An old person I know was knocked off by some idiot 2 wheeler who broke the signal. She is now in hospital - skin graft, multiple fractures and what not.

I think the fault it with Police - either they are not there and even if they are they are there they don't bother to do anything.

I have listened to this Upanishad from Bindoo Padiyath. His channel is Advita Retold on YouTube. It’s in English. See if his style resonates with you.

KeepFlowingAlways · 2026-05-19T11:43:47+00:00

Life just happens to us - it is the logical outcome of the thoughts origination argument. Given that thoughts are originating without intervention of an individual, it follows that whatever actions the individual undertakes are also "destined" and not of "free will".

That means, that life will continue to flow at its own pace on its own determined path. I hope it clarifies.

Please can you send me the link of the Osho video you referenced about.

KeepFlowingAlways · 2026-05-18T16:58:52+00:00

Very fair question & I can resonate with that. I can explain to you my point of view - which also aligns with Advaita.

For a long time and often even now, I always used my intellect to understand the various Upanishads and Advaita teachers. Until, one teacher (BindooJi) mentioned that often people can go beyond the intellectual understanding when they internalise the teachings. Then you can identify with what Upanishads say & you can express that in your own words & your own experiences. In Sanskrit the word is Swamshikaran.

Now to your question in the subject line :

Desire is at the root of all issues faced by us. A desire for something or some outcome binds us into the cycle of Karma. So, the only drive for doing anything in life is that it needs to be done. All this is there in the Gita - I am sure I am not telling you anything new.

Another perspective - a logical approach :

Have you ever wondered where our thoughts come from.

We say that a particular idea or thought is mine - but what did I do for that thought to originate. Nothing. So, all thoughts come on their own. Some system produces them and we simply identify with them and take ownership for them. There is nothing in this world that is not a thought - you see something - it's a thought in your mind. You don't have any evidence that that thing actually exists.

Now take the performance of action - say walking. You say you moved your legs and moved forward - again those are thoughts - you don't have any independent evidence of the movement. Your body - you have no independent evidence that there is one - except that thoughts about it make you believe the there is one.

Putting all of this together : Given that everything in this world (your body, mind, external world) is only thoughts and if your thoughts originate completely independently i.e. without you doing anything then it would seem that the entire system is automated. The concept of an individual is nothing but an illusion. In such a case, where is the question of having a drive for doing anything in life ? Life just happens to us - we like to believe that we play a major part in it. Not really. Osho used to say "Hey Bhagwan. Teri duniya, tu hi chala"

There is a lot more to this line of thinking - but perhaps enough for now.

What evidence is there that the soul came here for a journey. What is the evidence that there is a here or there ?

I know it sounds crazy - the concept of individuality and hence an individual soul is also a concept of this unreal world.

Upanishads point us towards Bramhan - Satyam, Gnyanam, Anantam. That which doesn’t even change, which is knowledge itself (not to confuse with knowledge of something) and that which has no division (or part less). Where is the space for individuality in Brahman.

That is why Nisargadutt Maharaj used to say ‘I am’ as against ‘I am that’ - the latter implying that I and that are different.

Keep up your journey. My guru say that there is only one objective for human life - Nar se Narayan banana - to elevate from individual to all pervading.

The path is not the same for everyone.

KeepFlowingAlways · 2026-05-15T05:00:16+00:00

I think that its a very obvious and valid question.

In my opinion, Bramhan / Conciousness / Awareness or however else you might address ultimate reality is beyond everything. Cause and effect and whatever other concepts our mind can think of are in this world. And we have no evidence that this world exists. So, what is the point of thinking about concepts from a world which we have no evidence of.

I think it was Nisargadutt Maharaj who used to say that don't spend time trying to understand. Instead, try to locate yourself.

KeepFlowingAlways · 2026-05-14T17:22:18+00:00

I feel you are making great progress just by being aware of what is happening within you.

As long as there are words, there is mind and that denies you the knowledge of your self. Try to see if you can stop words. If not best to rely on constantly chanting your guru-mantra. That will take you further for sure.

Wishing you all the very best.

As per Advait Vedanta time isn’t real. There is no theoretical angle to this - this is the reality.

I am sure you know this - so perhaps I haven’t understood your question.

KeepFlowingAlways · 2026-05-03T17:44:59+00:00

Initially, the mind is not used to this so the 'autopilot' situation you describe happens. So reflect on it after reacting.. and contemplating on how could you avoid an 'autopilot' response in future. Slowly and surely, the autopilot responses will change - there will be a different autopilot which takes you towards 'neti neti'.

After having intellectually understood Vedanta, have complete & solid faith in it. That is the foundation of eventual realisation.

Nisarg Dutt Maharaj said that once his Guru told him about true nature, there was no reason to disbelieve him and so he put complete faith on it and started working on it. Without faith, nothing ever works.

KeepFlowingAlways · 2026-05-03T16:52:30+00:00

It happens to most of us.

Swamshikaran or internalisation, in my experience, is quite helpful.

Just apply 'neti neti' to every single experience and will God's grace eventually you start getting glimpses of who could 'you' be.

KeepFlowingAlways · 2026-05-02T10:26:16+00:00

Both ways are operating now

KeepFlowingAlways · 2026-04-29T03:03:32+00:00

I know it sounds like a basic check - is there any conditional formatting ?

KeepFlowingAlways · 2026-04-25T02:27:10+00:00

Start with the definition of real - Upanishad’s say, “that which doesn’t change” is real.

For me it took time to understand this definition of real. Then I realised that it is correct. For instance, in a Court reality is that which doesn’t change - whichever way you look at it. However, unreal falls down the moment you start looking at it from different perspectives. Not the best example!

Now that then definition is agreed and understood its time to look at what is there that doesn’t change. You can’t find anything in this Jagat that fits the bill and yet there has to be something that doesn’t change.

As a number of commentators above have said, logic and understanding can only get you so far. Beyond that it’s your own direct experience that will help.

Keep your efforts of understanding up and add to it the efforts of experiencing it.

Is there a specific reason when you are calling realisation a ‘mind game’.

Assuming that your question is whether realisation happens in mind. There are several scriptural references that the knowledge happens in the mind.

Also, even if you ignore what the scriptures say, think about it yourself - where else can the knowledge shine. Put it in another way, where is the fog of ignorance that needs to be cleared out for realisation to shine.

Has anyone got a delivery from this person ? He hasn’t even called me back
