One thing I can say that @ShahBalen is a indeed a nationalist.
Looking forward to see if he can successfully navigate through the currents of the chessboard.Felt happy.
I’m increasingly interested in self-enquiry not as asking “Who am I?” until an answer appears, but as noticing every identity that appears—and asking what was already present before it.
Compassion without strength can become helplessness.
Strength without compassion can become cruelty.
The harder ideal is to become capable of force without becoming ruled by the desire to use it.
Maybe sadhana isn’t concentrating on one object forever.
Maybe it is learning to recognize the same reality through every object, without needing the world to disappear first.
A plural society doesn’t require traditions to become identical.
The real test is whether strong traditions can remain fully themselves without forcing everyone else to live by them.

A simple modern Indra practice;
Before training, stand still for a few seconds and remember what you are trying to overcome.
Say three times:
ॐ इन्द्राय नमः
Om Indrāya Namaḥ.
Then train.
No phone scrolling between every set. No half-hearted workout. Finish what you came to do. Accomplish it.
At the end, drink water, breathe, and mentally offer the effort:
“इन्द्राय इदम्” which means “This is for Indra.”
The offering is not the calories burned.
The offering is the stronger person you are constructing.
A strange question I keep returning to:
If I am already That, why should I desire anything at all?
Maybe action does not always need to come from lack.
The Kushans may not have ruled Kathmandu directly.
But their coins, art, and wider cultural world clearly reached the Valley.
All this is Brahman.
Those who can recognize it, enter into it, and harness its forces through will, knowledge, and action approach what the Tantras call Bhairava.
Not domination over reality.
Mastery through non-separation.
We fought against the Anglos, very bloody war it was, not even near to what we saw on Sep 8th.Did we protect our sovereignty against them to adopt their mediocre, out of date governance (Parliamentary style democracy), impose their culture, and values into the Nepali society?
Any Political Entity exists to engineer ways to (effectively) fulfill the desires of the people it nurtures, given that as the baseline, other abstract entities should be built on top of it to facilitate that main goal, not heavily BLOATED systems that exist(ed) in the moment.
Could Not Find a copy anywhere in Nepal.
Had to order it from India.
Finally!
