What If Everything You Call ‘Me’ Is Changing?

If Everything About You Changes, Then Who Are You? Your body changes. Your thoughts change. Your emotions change. Your opinions change. Even your personality can change. And yet, through all of it, you keep saying: “This is me.” So what exactly is this “me”? In this episode of Decoding U, we explore the ancient 25-tattva framework, not as a list of philosophical concepts, but as a map of your own experience. We look at the difference between Puruṣa, the Seer, and Prakṛti, the changing field of experience, and then trace the layers in between: Buddhi, Ahaṃkāra, Manas, the senses, faculties of action, subtle sensory qualities, and the five elements. More importantly, we bring the map into something very human: What happens inside you when someone criticises you, rejects you, or hurts you? You hear something. The mind interprets it. The sense of “I” makes it personal. An impulse appears. And suddenly an experience becomes an identity: “This happened to me.” “This is because of me.” “This is who I am.” What if you could actually see that process happening? This episode is an invitation to look more closely at the difference between what is changing and what is aware of that change. No belief required. Just observation. Question to live with: What in me is changing and what is aware of the change? This episode completes our foundation before we begin exploring Patañjali's Yoga Sūtras, one sūtra at a time.

Why Do You React Before You Even Think?

Have you ever reacted to something and only afterwards wondered, “Why did I react like that?” Someone says something. You hear it. Then your mind interprets it. It becomes personal. An emotion rises. And before you know it, you’ve already reacted. But what if that reaction isn’t actually one thing? What if different parts of your inner world are doing different things before you even become aware of the reaction? In this episode of Decoding U, we explore an ancient framework that maps the mind into different functions - including Manas, Ahaṃkāra, and Buddhi. Not as complicated philosophical concepts to memorize, but as a way of understanding what happens inside you when you overthink, feel hurt, become defensive, take criticism personally, or react before you’ve really thought about what happened. You’ll explore: • What happens between an event and your reaction • Why the mind can interpret something before you consciously examine it • How the sense of “I” makes experiences feel personal • Why the ego may not be the enemy we think it is • What Buddhi - discernment and wise judgment, actually does • And how observing these different processes can create a pause between what happens and what you do next The interesting question isn't only, “Why did I react?” It is: “What happened before I became the story?” Welcome to Decoding U - a space where timeless wisdom helps us make sense of modern life.

Why Does Your Mind Change So Much? The Three Gunas

Why can you feel clear and focused one day, restless the next, and completely unmotivated after that? And why do we so quickly turn these changing states into statements about who we are? “I’m lazy.” “I’m anxious.” “I can’t focus.” “I’m just an overthinker.” In Episode 8 of Decoding U, Jyoti Khatri explores the three gunas -Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. That offers a different way of looking at the changing qualities of the mind. Sattva brings clarity and balance. Rajas brings movement and activity. Tamas brings heaviness, stability and inertia. All three have their place. They constantly interact and change in their prominence. The deeper question is not how to eliminate one of them. It's whether we can recognise what is happening in the mind without confusing a temporary state with who we are. This is an enquiry to observe your own mind more carefully - not to judge it, fix it, or fight it. Because the question may not always be: “How do I change myself?” Sometimes it is: “What is actually happening within me?” Welcome to Decoding U.

If You Can Observe Your Thoughts, Who Are You? The Seer and the Seen

You say, “I’m anxious.” You say, “I’m angry.” You say, “I’m confused.” But if you can notice your thoughts, emotions, sensations, and reactions,who is noticing them? In this episode of Decoding U, we explore a powerful distinction from an ancient Indian philosophical tradition: the Seer and the Seen. Everything you experience is constantly changing- your thoughts, emotions, body, memories, personality, and even your sense of “I. But what is aware of all these changes? Rather than asking you to believe an idea, this episode invites you to investigate it directly. What happens when you stop saying “I am anxious” and begin noticing “anxiety is present”? What happens when you can experience an emotion completely without allowing it to define who you are? And could there be a difference between what you experience and that which is aware of the experience? We'll explore this through the simple image of a cinema screen and the movie playing upon it and bring the inquiry into situations you actually encounter: criticism, success, failure, fear, anxiety, and emotional reactions. This isn't about suppressing emotions or becoming detached from life. It's about learning to observe what is happening within you without immediately becoming it I'm Jyoti Khatri, and this is Decoding U - A space where timeless wisdom helps us make sense of modern life. A question to carry with you: What is changing within me right now and what is aware of that change?

If I Am the Witness, Why Do I Suffer?

Have you ever known what you should do and still done something completely different? You want to stay calm, but you react. You want to let go, but your mind keeps returning to it. You know what would be wiser, but something inside you pulls you in another direction. So what exactly is happening inside us? In Episode 6 of Decoding U, we explore the chariot analogy from the Katha Upanishad - the body as the chariot, the senses as the horses, the mind as the reins, the intellect as the charioteer, and the Self as the rider. But the deeper question is this: If I am the witness of everything happening within me, why do I still suffer? This conversation isn't about adopting another belief. It's about looking more carefully at your own experience - the thoughts, emotions, impulses, reactions, and the awareness of all of them. Because perhaps instead of asking: “How do I control myself?” we can begin asking: “Who is aware of everything happening within me?” And if I can witness all of it, what exactly is it that suffers?

Are You Really Living or Just Repeating Yourself?

Have you ever reached the end of the day and wondered. "Where did the day go?" Not because you were busy. But because you weren't really present for it. Many of us spend our days reacting, worrying, planning, and repeating the same emotional patterns without even noticing. We call it living, but is it? In this episode of Decoding U, we explore what it truly means to wake up, not from sleep, but from unconscious living. Together, we'll look at why we keep repeating old patterns, why awareness is different from simply being awake, and how a single moment of observation can begin to change the way we experience life. This isn't about becoming perfect. It's about becoming present. If you've ever felt like you're living on autopilot, this conversation is for you. Stay with the question. Keep observing. Keep questioning. And keep decoding U. Jyoti Khatri

Why Knowing Isn't the Same as Living

We live in an age of endless information. We read books, save quotes, listen to podcasts, and consume more knowledge than ever before. Yet many of us still find ourselves repeating the same patterns, reacting in the same ways, and asking why nothing really changes. In this episode of Decoding U, we explore the subtle but life-changing difference between knowing and living. Through a timeless philosophical insight, we uncover why information alone doesn't transform us and how even one deeply lived truth can begin to reshape the way we experience life. You'll also be invited to reflect on one powerful question to carry with you this week: "What do I already know but haven't yet allowed to change the way I live?" This isn't a conversation about learning more. It's an invitation to live more consciously. Stay with the question. Keep observing. Keep questioning. And keep decoding U. Jyoti Khatri

The Two Choices That Quietly Shape Your Life

Every day, we make hundreds of choices. Some are obvious. Most are so small that we barely notice them. But what if those ordinary decisions are quietly shaping the direction of our lives? In this episode of Decoding U, we explore a timeless teaching from the Katha Upanishad that invites us to recognise the difference between what feels good in the moment and what truly serves our long-term growth and well-being. This isn't about rejecting pleasure or making life harder than it needs to be. It's about learning to pause, notice, and ask a deeper question before making our next meaningful decision. Today's enquiry: Before your next important decision, pause for five seconds and ask: "Am I choosing immediate comfort or lasting benefit?" You don't have to believe anything you hear. Simply notice whether it matches your own experience. Traditional teaching from the Katha Upanishad: This episode explores Katha Upanishad 1.2.1–2, where Yama describes the two paths that appear before every person: Preyas (the immediately pleasant) and Shreyas (the truly beneficial). The teaching reminds us that wisdom begins with recognising the difference before making a choice.

Before you look for another answer... stay with the question, notice your experience, and keep decoding U. Jyoti Khatri

Why Do We Keep Looking Outside?

Why do we keep checking our phones, seeking approval, chasing success, or believing that the next achievement will finally make us feel complete? In this episode of Decoding U, we explore a timeless insight from the Katha Upanishad that reveals a simple truth about human nature: our attention naturally moves outward, and we often begin looking for lasting peace in things that are constantly changing. This isn't an invitation to reject the world. It's an invitation to notice where we place our expectations—and to discover whether what we're truly seeking can ever be found there. Through relatable everyday examples and a simple self-enquiry, this episode encourages you to observe your own experience rather than accept someone else's conclusions. Today's enquiry: "Right now, what am I expecting from the outside?" Take care Jyoti Khatri As always, you don't have to believe anything you hear. Simply notice whether it matches your own experience. If this episode resonates with you, follow Decoding U, leave a rating or review, and share it with someone who might be asking the same questions. Before you look for another answer... keep decoding U.

Who Are You? | The First Question of Self-Discovery (Katha Upanishad)

Welcome to the very first episode of Decoding U. Before we can change our lives, we need to understand who is living them. In this episode, we begin with one of humanity's oldest and deepest questions: Who are you? Drawing from the timeless wisdom of the Katha Upanishad, we explore the dialogue between Nachiketa and Yama, where the nature of the Self is revealed—not as our thoughts, emotions, or roles, but as the awareness that witnesses them all. You'll also be guided through a simple 10-minute self-inquiry practice and reflective journal prompts to help you experience the teaching for yourself. This isn't about collecting more knowledge. It's about learning to observe. If this episode resonates with you, follow Decoding U, leave a review, and share it with someone who might be asking the same questions. Until then... Keep observing. Keep questioning. And keep decoding U. Jyoti Khatri
