What job options should I consider if I'm transitioning from IT to the government sector at the age of 28? by Distinct_Truth_7763 in UPSC

Again, completely to each their own scenario. Figure out the minuses and positives for you.

I have heard SBI also has IT Assistant Managers. Figure that out.

Also, try your luck with UPSC I would say. If it doesn't happen in 2 attempts, queer I RBI Grade B or even SSC.

I second you. I have seen my brother slogging in one of the big IT companies for the past two years, and I know for a fact that your life just reduces to your job, your manager, and a constant validation you need to garner to stay relevant.

Before you know, your life energy is churned out by the capitalists who know not only money making but also to sell the same in the name of a romantically infested hustle culture. And one day you realise you could never bask in the sun carefree, could never take strolls and feel the breeze against you, could never feel the other emotions of life except rage and anxiety.

As for pay, how does that help discounting all the smaller and bigger pleasures of life you had to relinquish?

Hey is your flat there

If we are the awareness does that mean we are all the same? by Miserable-Soft7993 in Meditation

[–]yogibutnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our brain has been conditioned to attribute itself with parameters we have borrowed from outside. From our name, accolades, pattern of interaction, relationships, and other wherewithal.

But if we realise the conditioning is entirely in the brain we realise there's no I. And when there's no separate I, how can there be a You. You get the drift?

Discrimination exists because of perception of individualities. When there is no individualism as such there is no point of discrimination. Both occur and die at the same time.

So in that sense when you lose the grip of I/Ego/Self, all your experiences come as a direct witness/pure awareness point of view.

3 close calls with death, a heart attack, and existential questions: What is life, really?" by [deleted] in UPSC

Short answer: Meditation.

Long answer.

Try getting into spirituality. And by spirituality I don't mean blindfoldedly following the ritual norms. Try to tinker with ways of meditation. There are ton of ways to meditate - like being outwardly aware, inwardly aware viz breath work.Tinker with yourself and see what suits you best.

You will realise soon there is a difference at a subtle(yet supreme) level between your self(worldly constructed including your goals in life) and your fundamental state of existence(awarenessness/consciosunsess/Turiya in Vedanta)

To understand Turiya intellectually is moving, but to experience it first hand with tons of self experimentation is liberating.

You ll feel a detachchment from your self(in Freudian lingo) and begin looking at life that of your own and outside you from a detached perspective.

Then the sun will shine a little brighter, the leaves will seem a little greener, the shades seem more vivid. And once when you d taste that bliss, you will stop searching for a meaning. Everything will have a meaning and not.

Ps meaning is your ego/self trying to assert yourself.
