"Insight"
Optionality breeds laziness
Problem: You think you’re lazy.
Your assumption: “I’m just not built for that thing.”.
Actual reason: Too many options.
Fix: Limit your options with discipline — and you’ll fix your life.

Laziness can only be removed through right discipline, and right discipline can only arise from right reason.
Discipline born from ego never lasts.
Right discipline is when consciousness asserts its ownership over the ego.
It’s the moment you realize: “I am consciousness, not the body, not the mind.”.
And if that sounds too high for you — fine, do the hard work. Walk the path of karma or bhakti. The point remains: to eradicate laziness, first establish right discipline.
Now, ask yourself — why do you feel lazy when exams are months away, yet can pull all-nighters right before them?
Forget spirituality for a moment — this is pure economics.
You’re lazy because you have options.
Those options carry an opportunity cost higher than what you’re currently doing.
When the right option appears — a deadline, an exam, a crisis — your energy instantly aligns.
That’s why when there are no options, you become unstoppable.
When you must, you do.
So, stop being a servant of time.
Don’t live in such poverty that you need pressure to move.
Use your own nature as leverage — design your circumstances with limited options and sharp deadlines.
In my case, I follow one principle: either work or nothing.
Work means anything requiring focus — study, chores, reading, thinking.
Nothing means literally nothing — sitting, staring at a wall, watching the breath. No media, no stimulation.
Why? Because the brain has something called the default mode network — it activates when the mind is at rest. That’s when it digests, connects, and transforms your experiences into insight. Boredom is not the enemy; it’s the forge where clarity is made.
So, reduce your options. Keep only those that come from right discipline.
Follow them — and productivity will follow you.
All Desires Lead to Dukkha
There is nothing in this world that can give you lasting happiness. Your very longing for happiness is the recipe for dukkha — suffering.
The Relativity of Time and Presence
Have you noticed how time behaves differently depending on your state of mind? When you are completely present — playing, laughing with friends, doing something you love — time seems to fly. Hours pass like minutes. And the strange thing? You don’t feel drained. Instead, you feel more alive, even rejuvenated.
Being present is ecstatic
Have you ever felt truly present — totally in it? I have tasted it. And you need to as well.
Observe your breath. 🧘♂️
Observe your breath — just observe.
See it moving in… acknowledge that it has come in.
See it moving out… know that it has gone out.
That’s all.
Don’t try to change it, don’t modify it, don’t control it.
