Framework to Live By

1. Inner Engineering

"How come your inner climate is not engineered properly? It gets hot, it gets cold, it gets confusing. You don't even know what it is. Why is it that your inner engineering has not been done?"

Core Principle

Life is not about fixing situations outside, but engineering your inner chemistry for blissfulness and clarity.

Daily Practice

Close your eyes for 12-15 minutes daily with proper instruction
Create space between you and your psychological drama
Practice Shambhavi Mahamudra for 21 minutes daily

2. The Nature of Suffering

"There is no fear of suffering. Only when there is no fear of suffering will you take full strides in your life."

Understanding Suffering

All human misery is manufactured in the human mind. Physical and mental suffering are the only two kinds of suffering we experience.

Path to Freedom

Create distance between you and your body
Create distance between you and your mind
End of suffering happens when you are not the issue in your life

3. The Four Parts of Mind

"Your intelligence is a sharp instrument. If you don't know how to hold it, it will cut you into pieces."

Buddhi (Intellect)

The cutting edge of intelligence - use it to discriminate and survive, but don't let it dissect everything into meaningless pieces.

Ahankara (Identity)

Expand your identity beyond limited boundaries. Limited identity is the root of all evil and suffering.

Manas (Memory)

The silo of memory contains evolutionary, genetic, and experiential data. Use it wisely, not compulsively.

Chitta (Pure Intelligence)

The dimension of intelligence beyond memory. Access this for true brilliance and ecstasy.

4. Consciousness and Evolution

"Evolution is conscious. Physiologically we have reached our peak, but we can evolve consciously through inner technologies."

Human Privilege

Humans are the only creatures who can choose how to be, rather than react compulsively. This is the essence of being human.

Path of Consciousness

Recognize you are not your body or mind
Access the pure intelligence within
Live with expanded awareness

5. Environmental Consciousness

"Soil is not a resource, soil is a legacy that has come to us from previous generations."

Save Soil Mission

52% of agricultural soils are degraded. We have only 60 harvests left if we don't restore soil health.

Daily Actions

Plant trees - every extra leaf fights climate change
Support tree-based agriculture
Recognize soil as foundational to all life

6. Love and Ecstasy

"Love is a strong emotion to make two separate pieces feel as one. But you are anyway one with existence if you remove the barriers of the mind."

True Love

Love is not about finding the perfect person, but about removing barriers to experience oneness with existence.

Path to Bliss

Create chemistry of blissfulness within
Be intoxicated with life, not external substances
Experience tears of ecstasy through daily practice

7. Intelligence vs Information

"With more information, situations have become better but people have become worse. We need profound experience, not just information."

Balance Required

Information creates conveniences but no profound experience of life. We need both intellect and deeper consciousness.

Guidelines

Use intellect for survival and discrimination
Access chitta for brilliance and ecstasy
Don't let information replace experience

8. Identity and Responsibility

"You are not the issue in your life. The issues you need to handle in the world are many, but you yourself are not an issue."

Liberation

When you realize you are not the problem, you become a full-fledged human being capable of handling life's challenges.
