Midnight Musings

Midnight Musings - Desire

There was desire. And the desire was the fire.

In the fire of desire, life emerged as embers.

Beings rise into the light of life

And disappear into the darkness of death.

Even Before Mother could blink her eye,

Countless rise and fall on the stage.

The purpose was to play the part and depart.

Not to forget home and develop a craving for another revisit.

The self emerges and the senses take over,

Knowledge of the beyond is concealed,

It's Just like a clean blank slate,

Along with the baggage of the past, on every revisit.

Despite the fragrance of truth everywhere,

Making sensual pleasure a sweet sport,

Countless are stuck in a prison of their own making.

Unworried until a tragedy is struck, waiting for another reset.

Ignorant of the baggage becoming big every time,

Lost are those countless in the moment of illusion.

Mocking the real torchbearers and embracing clueless imposters,

Drifting further away from the truth every time.

Thinking enlightenment is a packaged product or a curated course,

Countless will remain puzzled when their plug is pulled temporarily,

Only to be re-plugged into a different socket,

Just because they could not quench their unquenchable desire.

Tutorial: Setting Up a FastAPI Server with Nginx Reverse Proxy and HTTPS

In this tutorial, I will guide you through setting up a FastAPI server on a remote machine, configuring Nginx as a reverse proxy, and enabling HTTPS using Certbot. Step 1: Setting Up a Non-sudo User on the Remote Machine Create a Non-sudo User: sudo adduser karthik Switch to the New User: su karthik Create SSH Directory and Authorized Keys: cd ~/ mkdir .ssh touch .ssh/authorized_keys Append your local machine's SSH public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine. Step 2: Installing Nginx Install Nginx: sudo apt- get update sudo apt- get install nginx Verify Nginx Installation: Open a web browser and enter your remote machine's IP address. You should see the Nginx welcome page. Step 3: Configuring Nginx as a Reverse Proxy Edit Nginx Configuration: sudo nano /etc/ nginx /sites-available/ fastapi Add the following configuration (use a simple webserver for testing this): server { listen 80 ; server_name your_domain; loc...

Hence You Are Curious - Intro

నిజమో కాదో తెలియని ప్రలోభనాలను వద్దనవే ! In the beginning, there was an infinite cosmic ocean engulfed by darkness. And then, there was the seed. What was that seed ?. It could be the desire, the desire to manifest. It could be the word, the vibration leading to the emergence of consciousness. It is what seers experienced when they dwelled deep within their hearts. And hence, the one before anything projected itself into all this. This is a state of neither real nor unreal. There is the truth in and beyond all this, Something only the realized ones seem to comprehend. The power of intention of the one before anything has led to the possibility of creation. And the power to act ignited the process of creation. Embedded power of knowledge holding everything. That one seed spiraled into never-ending ripples making the universe, holding the power within itself to sustain, make, and unmake itself. Various seers have experienced different realizations upon meditating. For one, it...

Sin

I wonder... If one performs good deeds, are their actions rewarded?. And is it a sin to just have good intentions but never be able to act upon them ?. Are evil deeds punished?. If yes, who is the one? who is going to punish or reward?. Or it's just going to be a subtle soup of one's own disappointment or satisfaction about their actions after one's death?. Floating around and waiting to either be reborn of disappointment or escape the cycle of birth and death just by mere satisfaction of their actions?. Well someone may tell me that it may depend on whether they feel regretful or content. Otherwise, how could one either be disappointed or satisfied. Well, I don't know for sure. Thinking about all this, I find the sin a tad bit fascinating. If one does sin and if it does not affect any other being or environment, even at a subtle level, then I find it hard to call it a sin anymore. Well if someone may feel regret, even if it's objectively a good thing to do, then is...
