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 Inverted Tree: A Symbol of Inner Growth and Awakening

Humans are born to evolve and transform. Growth, success, and happiness are universal aspirations. But how can one truly evolve while pursuing these goals? The answer lies in an ancient, striking image: an upside down tree with roots reaching towards the heavens and branches extending downward towards the earth. This profound symbol, found in sacred texts, invites us to rethink life’s purpose and redefine growth and truth. Unlike ordinary trees rooted in soil, this tree draws nourishment from the divine. It reminds us that true stability comes not from external achievements but from inner alignment. The roots symbolize our spiritual foundation — our connection to a higher dimension of being. Roots provide stability and a solid base, inviting us to strengthen them by drawing strength from infinity. The outer world consisting of branches, leaves, and fruits is a manifestation of Maya in samsara, a fleeting illusion. Life balances not by chasing fruits but by anchoring in the source that ...

Radha and Rukmini: Two Facets of Love in Krishna’s Divine Lila

In Krishna’s divine lila, love reveals itself in many shades, not to confuse us but to awaken us. At first glance, Krishna's bond with Radha may seem puzzling, especially since Rukmini was his lawful consort. Yet across centuries, temples, songs, and hearts remember Krishna not as “Rukmini-Krishna” but as “Radha-Krishna.” Is this a contradiction or a deeper spiritual insight? Radha and Rukmini are not two separate loves but two expressions of the same divine force. They symbolize two dimensions of love — the worldly and the transcendental, the composed and the consuming. They are not in conflict but in complement, reflecting the soul’s journey towards the Divine. Rukmini, the queen of Dwaraka, embodies Maryada, the love that lives within the boundaries of dharma. She is Lakshmi incarnate, graceful and steadfast. Her love stands for sacred partnership rooted in harmony, order, and purpose. She represents apara shakti, Krishna’s manifest energy that sustains worldly life. Radha, the...
