The Purpose

 



The sun was just about to set. I reached just then. I got down from the car and walked to the river. I kneeled down and put my hand in the water. The water in the river had a little warmth because it was a sunny day. I sat down there, waving my hand for some time. It was so good, I hoped the time stopped then and there. Then I thought, my hand was feeling the experience of water. Irrespective of which part of the river I put my hand in, the experience will remain mostly stay the same.

If I enter the river and swim, then my experience would become more vivid and significant. If I submerge myself completely underwater then the experience of water around me becomes everything. Hypothetically, just imagine because of my sheer desire to stay there I obtain the ability to breathe and live underwater. I would probably choose to explore further rather than swim back to the surface. I will start imitating any creature I would find living in that water. Slowly I will learn a movement of my own. It may be possible, That I would forget what I`m before this.

But If I question myself why did I submerge myself in the first place?. Because I want to experience something different than what I`m experiencing currently. 

Well, If the all-pervading, sentient, omnipotent para-brahman wants to do the same thing, It can take a dive into a dream of confined, limited experience. Experiencing a form, a name, which it doesn't have.
I understand then the purpose is simple enough... Experience. Experiencing the world, which is nothing but a deep dream (Ghada Sushupthi). But the beautiful thing here is everyone and everything in the dream is the para-brahman. As Sri Bhagawan Ramana Maharshi says "There are no others".
Either you know it or do not know it yet. There is no need for belief or faith.

It was becoming dark. I was walking back to the car. I thought, just by contemplating nature deeply, one can arrive at the purpose effortlessly. But still, the choice is in one`s hands. To completely immerse in this experience or swim back to the surface. 

Her grace, Her blessings are what enable me to do anything. My eternal mother, Gayatri, I wish her to give me enough knowledge and wisdom to contemplate more on the self.

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...
