When we don't know how to honour time, we most often end up compromising our time for the benefit of others. Learn how to honour your time so that you can benefit from all of your time.

Doctors are asking people who have recovered from COVID to eat more proteins. That’s good. But, is that the right advice? Is there any problem in doctors prescribing a protein rich diet for people who have just recovered from COVID?

Never work for happiness or for comfort. You are never going to have it. Always work happily. If you are not happy with your work, change it, or else, you will waste away your life trying to get happiness out of your work.

We all want freedom. The more we believe we have it, the more we want of it. Because, freedom cannot be had. It can only be. When we want freedom, we go all out to get it. When you don’t understand something, you create a notion about it. You believe, this is freedom. And when you get your notional feeling of freedom, you want more of it. And when you have it, you are not content with it. You want others to have it too. You begin to impose your notion of freedom unto others.

Our country is a special one. Even before time was invented, we kept track of events by way of observing constellations in the sky. And that is how, even to this day, when the particular constellation arrives, we know, thousands of years ago, God arrived as man on earth as Bhagawan Rama, Krishna, Anjaneya, Bhagawan Narasimha and the events that transpired which set an example of righteous living.

By reading the constellations, we have etched in Akasha, the death of Holika.

Every festival celebrated in our country has its history etched in constellations that decorate the vast space.

Let us not forget the reason behind our festivals. We are Bharatiyas. We mustn’t forget our traditions. We are known by our traditions, values and our culture which is our identity.

How would it be, if you needn’t have to pay for your basic necessities such as food, shelter and clothing? How would it be if your life only depended on your skills, your abilities, and your time?

We are all caught in this web of consumerism that, unless we keep consuming, we will not be able to survive in this society.

Why are we living in this misery where we have only practiced hoarding money in the form of houses, lands, and businesses and the cost we have to pay for acquiring such definitions of security is with our own freedom.
