This is how you overcome fear.

A grounded reflection on fearlessness — how confidence is earned through friction, failure, and the courage to be authentically yourself. 0:01 – Expanding the Comfort Zone How fearlessness is built by doing difficult things and embracing friction instead of retreating from it. 1:04 – The Cost of Comfort Why living safely and avoiding challenge leads to stagnation, depression, and a loss of meaning. 2:01 – Confidence Is Earned, Not Given How real confidence comes from proving your capability through repeated effort and mistakes. 3:31 – The Courage to Be Incompetent Learning new skills means facing discomfort and failure — growth begins where ego ends. 5:00 – Start Before You Feel Ready Pushing past fear of judgment and perfectionism to create, speak, and act authentically. 7:00 – Beyond Faking It True fearlessness isn’t performance — it’s authenticity born from practice, self-knowledge, and sincerity.

Are We All Slaves to Money?

In this video I reflect on our collective enslavement to money, the invisible chains of debt and work, and how capitalism conditions us into perpetual dissatisfaction. From India to the UK, I’ve seen how money dominates psychology and culture alike. This is not just economics—it’s spiritual. It’s about how we live, what we give our energy to, and whether we can ever be free. Chapters: 0:00 – Introduction: Enslavement to money 0:35 – Cost of living and scarcity conditioning 1:55 – Poverty, development, and global money consciousness 3:07 – Work, wages, and the hamster wheel trap 5:12 – Debt as invisible chains 7:49 – Capitalism’s perpetual dissatisfaction 9:19 – Productivity culture and being constantly squeezed 11:16 – Spirituality, politics, and bypassing the real world

Master Silence = Master the Self

Silence isn’t absence—it’s the ground of awareness that lets you see the mind clearly, reclaim your attention, and end the worry loops that drain your life force. In this talk I unpack practical self-mastery: cultivating a one-pointed mind, easing the stress response, and returning to the primordial stillness behind thoughts (presence, meditation, mindfulness, non-dual insight). Chapters 0:00 – Welcome & thesis: silence = self-mastery 0:36 – Scattered attention and wasted life force 1:46 – Training a silent, one-pointed mind 2:56 – How to look at the mind: pause, witness, zoom out 4:18 – Stress response vs. restoration (why anxiety exhausts you) 6:01 – Worry loops and fear of the future 8:03 – Attention gives reality; the nuance of “manifestation” 10:09 – Reality as a neutral field of potentials 11:45 – Beyond thought: the primordial silence (Dao/Brahman) 15:20 – Words are pointers; closing reflection

Comfort Is the Enemy of Becoming

Comfort feels safe—but over time it shrinks our capacity to live, love, learn and evolve. In this talk I break down why “comfort addiction” keeps us stuck, how to build a real relationship with the unknown, and why courage, repetition and sacred work grow the soul. If you’re ready to trade numbness for aliveness, this one’s for you. Chapters 0:00 – Comfort as an addiction (why it quietly traps us) 0:36 – How comfort atrophies capacity & keeps life the same 1:44 – Making friends with the unknown (controlled stress) 2:30 – Staring fear in the face: adversity as a teacher 3:20 – Talk vs action: the courage to risk failure 4:05 – Beginner’s mind: ego, instruments & perseverance 5:26 – Talent vs discipline & the sacredness of work 6:50 – Practice, attention, neuroplasticity & slow gains 8:43 – Perfectionism vs becoming; gratitude for growth 10:58 – Learn from failures and wins; honour your desires Key ideas • Comfort is sweet in the moment, costly over years • Growth = chosen discomfort + consistent practice • Failure is feedback; success isn’t a finish line • Discipline and devotion turn potential into power If this helped: drop a comment with one discomfort you’ll choose this week.
