Essence of an individual

The essence of an individual’s captivating personality lies in their character, which intricately shapes their behavior and attitudes. However, what we perceive as personality often does not fully reflect their core, their innermost self. An individual's individuality can be visualized as a series of concentric circles, each representing layers of their being. The outermost circle, labeled as E, hints at surface traits. The middle circles, D and C, delve deeper into their persona, while the innermost circles, B and A, encapsulate the essence of their true self. The deepest circle, A, safeguards this core and reveals itself only in the presence of resonance, trust, and profound commitment. Understanding these layers fosters a deep appreciation of the authentic person beneath the surface.

When meeting new people, our conversations typically begin with basic questions about their family background, occupation, and hobbies. These interactions correspond to the E level, representing surface-level traits. As relationships progress, the dialogue evolves to explore habits, personal stories, likes, and dislikes. This marks the unfolding of the D and C levels, which reveal the middle layers of their personality. Based on these glimpses, the relationship may either deepen or remain at these intermediate levels. If liking and intimacy grow, access to the B level may be granted, eventually unraveling the enigmatic A.

Circle A can be likened to the unconscious mind, holding vast mysteries and untapped potential. The journey to this profound territory strengthens intimacy and reveals majestic traits and a sense of divinity within the individual. This authentic revelation starkly contrasts with the surface-level perceptions, opinions, and judgments formed at the E, D, and C levels.

Most of our relationships remain confined to the E, D, and C levels. Many people in our lives occupy these peripheral layers, engaging with us on a transactional basis or being dismissed entirely. Few possess the potential to reach the B level, and access to Circle A is reserved for exceptional individuals.

Embarking on the journey to Circle A requires intimacy nurtured through love, trust, and unwavering commitment. It’s a transparent and shared relationship, built on mutual trust and profound partnership, where two souls connect deeply. Accessing Circle A is not easy; it unfolds naturally through a combination of sincerity, intimacy, and commitment in the bond. Sharing one’s core is the ultimate outcome of intense honesty and deep connection.

Piercing the Veil of Reality: Plato, Vedanta, and Quantum Physics

What is reality? If everything is one and made of energy, why does it appear fragmented and separate? Why do we each perceive it differently? For millennia, across cultures and civilizations, sages and philosophers have sensed that the world we perceive through our senses is not the whole truth. Beneath the visible lies the invisible. Behind the transient is the eternal. Beyond form and change, there is an unchanging essence. From the philosophical insights of Plato to the spiritual revelations of Vedantic sages, and now the discoveries of quantum physics, a striking convergence begins to emerge. What appears as reality is only a projection, not the ultimate truth. Plato, the philosopher of ideals, viewed the physical world as a shadow of a higher, perfect realm of Forms. Everything we encounter—trees, animals, human actions—is, in his view, an imperfect reflection of an ideal Form that exists beyond the material plane. There is a Form of Beauty that all beautiful things participate in...

The Interplay of Neuroplasticity, Subconscious Mind, and Sanskara

The intricate complexities of the human brain, akin to hardware, and the mind, akin to software, have long fascinated scientists, philosophers, and spiritual seekers alike. Recent advances in neuroscience have illuminated the remarkable process of neuroplasticity, a phenomenon that allows our brains to rewire and adapt to new experiences and learning throughout life. This concept shares fascinating parallels with the subconscious mind and the ancient spiritual notion of Sanskara (mental imprints), offering profound insights into the nature of human transformation. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize and refine neural connections in response to new experiences, learning, and environmental changes. This adaptability enables us to acquire new skills, recover from injuries, and even rewire thought patterns. It challenges the once-held belief that the brain is fixed and unchangeable, highlighting its dynamic and ever-evolving nature. The subconscious mind, a conc...

Krishna as Mentor (Published in Speaking Tree of TOI on June 15 2019)

GANESH KOLAMBAKAR likens Krishna to a good coach or mentor, who provides vital guidelines to living a conflict-free lifeWhile learning business management lessons and also simultaneously trying to understand ancient scriptures, Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita, I came to an interesting conclusion that Krishna was the best mentor, coach and guru. Today, many corporate employees, often, don’t find a good mentor or coach, who can help them in resolving conflicts, which affect their motivational level, thereby limiting them in realizing their true potential. That’s why, we find that stress levels and resultant health ailments are high in the corporate and business fields. While many corporations and business units have several welfare measures to take care of their employees’ health, true success in these endeavours will be achieved only through self-management; by resolving intra conflicts, conflicts within. Inner battle or upheavals within should be addressed, rather than treating visible sym...
