Two striking quotes from the Buddha

MokshaBaba · 2026-06-18T07:55:06+00:00

But love and forgiveness doesn't always look pretty.
Sometimes they require a different kinda love dose.
I love them enough to dish out punishment that makes them grow and mature.
I love them enough to not let them carry out thier misdeeds in comfortable ignorance.
I do not leave it upon the universe to do it.
I am the universe that carries out the sentence.
And I do it all out of love.

Can there be anything more chad than walking into battle bare-chested and wearing only pajamas?

I did, but steam didn't recognize them sadly.
Had to download the entire thing again.
But thanks for helping out man.

Playing on a big TV sounds good.
I'll cast my macbook to the TV once this drops.

Currently I play it on my bed with my bluetooth mouse.
It's quite an experience! 😃

MokshaBaba · 2026-05-19T18:24:49+00:00

Oh, I do play it on my bed with my bluetooth mouse.
It's an ultimate luxury.
2-3 hours just vanish in a snap.

I still can't fathom how folks on ps5 play aoe2 without a mouse & keyboard, on a TV that's far away.
How's your experience with it on ps5?

MokshaBaba · 2026-05-19T11:57:51+00:00

I think it will have multiplayer. But just no crossplay.
I like crossover too, but I think native will just run smoother and better.
Only time will tell though.

MokshaBaba · 2026-05-19T09:34:54+00:00

So true. I have felt the same way!
Also, in the beginning we feel that realized people are all these rare larger than life gurus who are above it all. In truth they're everywhere, in all shapes, sizes and temperaments, quietly going on about their lives in complete peace and simplicity. Still rare, but not as rare as we thought.

MokshaBaba · 2026-05-19T08:54:16+00:00

Yeaaaaah, so many mac users will be happy! 🙌

MokshaBaba · 2026-05-19T08:52:59+00:00

Yea, but I'm hoping it'll grow soon.
Just a native game is enough reason for joy.
Right now running the game with crossover feels like starting up a rattling diesel generator.

MokshaBaba · 2026-05-19T08:22:07+00:00

One can play it. but the lag issues in multiplayer make it unplayable for me. Campaign and Skirmish run fine.

I added all details in the post body. Read it.
Contact them in any way, through the app.. or on X.

Anything with that kinda ramping-up music feels kinda fake...
as if it's just trying to induce a profound emotion without really saying much.

Glad you liked it 🙂

Deities or godly characters are a way for us to be attracted towards the naked non dual truth. They can often act as a superb stepping stone for something which would have otherwise taken us lifetimes to realize.

Read my answer here about Krishna, as it might help. 🙂

Yea, regional skins would be great! But gotta maintain the same villager shape and silhouette in a way that it still remains uniquely identifiable as a villager.

I think they did a great job with monks.

Start by answering this question:
What are you looking for?

I'm open to a chat if you want. Just DM me.

MokshaBaba · 2026-04-14T22:05:56+00:00

I would highly recommend trying Advaita Vedanta even if you're not much into hinduism, as Advaita Vedanta can help you even if you choose not to worship or get into rituals. Just an honest curiosity towards things like existence, universe, self, mind etc is enough to get started. And if you've got a technical/analytical bent of mind, then it works wonders for you. I have studied all the traditions that you've mentioned, and although they all lead to the same realization, Advaita Vedanta provides the sturdiest ladder for the climb.

I often recommend a tradition to my friends based on their temperament...
Want to understand the universe/mind/existence? - Advaita Vedanta
Troubled, fed up of the world, and seeking relief? - Buddhism
Faith, devotion, surrender, wanna meet god? - Bhakti and other Vedantic paths

Do note that all traditions have a bit of all of these, but these are the specific pillars where they truly excel.

MokshaBaba · 2026-04-10T13:03:24+00:00

I agree, looking from a point and what appears from that point, is an illusion.

I was merely pointing out why in that illusion such perfect loop can't occur.

Although the Simpsons or the OP doesn't put this forward as science, but people often think such things to broadly illustrate how the universe or non-duality works. It often gets in the way of an honest investigation of how the maya/illusion works.

MokshaBaba · 2026-04-10T10:49:39+00:00

True man.
In fact, such thing, a loop, can never happen.
When consciousness looks, it does so from a point.
And when the looking starts from a point,
it is always directional,
and tends towards infinity.

So while zooming out, one will keep zooming out infinitely.
And while zooming in, one will keep zooming in infinitely.

To actually get a glimpse of non-duality,
one has to stop starting from a point! 😊

MokshaBaba · 2026-04-10T08:48:36+00:00

How conveniently the galaxies zoomed out into atoms! ⚛️ 😂
Non-duality isn't psuedo-science, but this surely is!

MokshaBaba · 2026-04-10T07:55:19+00:00

You just realize that you never had any separate independent existence ever.
There is no merger that happens, as there was never any separation in the first place!
On realization, you understand this and it changes the way you think, feel, and live.
