Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.-Freud

People will often say "I'm tired" when they're actually just depressed and upset.

Psychology says, depression is often the result of over thinking, our minds create problems that initially didn't exist.
https://twitter.com/psychologycult/status/1148956090329116673?s=19
Psychology claims that over thinking can cause the mind to experience "emotional hangovers" which leads to depression.

There is way too much quoting of colonial era scholars in H articles today and a complete lack of engagement with modern scholarship.

there is no divine inspiration here: the computer will fail. ramanujan got his insights from his goddess in dreams, he acknowledged when someone asked him how he came up with his staggering and beautiful equations https://t.co/NApxy4dLEy

"The fierce self-idolatry of nation-worship is now all-consuming, and it risks killing the very thing it claims to protect — the soul of Hindu dharma and culture." @MrSamratX, clear-headed about what these things called nationalism and Hindutva are doing. https://t.co/UY8AX8cn2Z

This sin of nuns is imposed on our Devadasi system and banned it. Funny thing is Indian society accepts nuns as virtuous but self-flagellate at Devadasi system. In fact, Devadasi system is very empowering to women and Dharmic feminism.

Devadasi system is for women who prefer to pursue arts & sciences without family responsibilities while enjoying marital indulgence.Many traditional Devadasis came from well endowed Brahmin and Kshatriya families.

Bindu Rao was also fortunate to have got a good set of students under his tutelage. One of the first among those students was Smt. Shakuntalabai Panduranga Rao, who still mesmerises audience through her kāvya-vācana.

Reading Sri Aurobindo even a little gives us a great force. One should know how to digest it. The way to the top is long; the way to the understanding of  his texts is also not short. A cool receptivity is needed at every step as also a patient ear to those walking alongside.

In dat case I find these adjectives applicable to men too. D Human Vital-- as per the integral psychology of Sri Aurobindo- is not gender specific. Maybe men r   upset  to find his own self mirrored in the women speaking out with his own idiom now- a violence echoing violence!

It's a wrong move to "punish" Peter. Stark evil, no doubt. But y make him an epic hero  by trying to deport him? He tempts us to attack him. Coz he wants  publicity by his nuisance value! He wants to make money by selling his "great" book! Let him make money! No problem.
I know Peter hates me the most. Because I didn't react to his poisonous words on Sri Aurobindo. I simply say he has no training in literature n therefore he is a ridiculous nonsense when he comments on Sri Aurobindo's literature n poetry!

All evil is essentially unoriginal in being often pulled irresistibly to the Divine. Manifests differently. Some bully, some besmirch.. its a helpless rage of hostile microbes facing inhibiting drugs..one should think less and less of the bacterial pathogens & so be disease-free.

Your tweets seem to be a bit uncharitable. Your article may have highlighted some miseries but that's not the whole story. There are many persons who are well acquainted with Ashram history. However, past sufferings should not diminish the relevance of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy.

Following the party line is the duty of the cadre and not pointing out mistakes of the leader.
https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1149124047013236736?s=19
That's okay. Then, who decides what's right or wrong for a party? It's subjective for citizens but strategic for the party. What step a party takes in its self-interest has its own validity. How can a supporter be more loyal than the king?
https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1149126984988893185?s=19
There is no perfect model for a party or Democracy: practices till now are as per convenience. Principles are surrendered at the altar of self-interest. People often enter conspiracy of silence for the sake of future careers. Those who speak out, generally lose; land in oblivion.

Any scope of appreciating the fact that what the PM is doing or not doing now is in greater interest of the nation? Weren't past promises for garnering support but may not be really practicable? Why can't the leader be allowed to evolve in his chair in the light of wider horizon?

Indian culture and languages are on the upswing but no one demands freedom from the colonial practice of medicine names in Latin. Why basic Medicine shouldn't be taught at the school level is another riddle. Added awareness on food and nutrition should be a priority of education.
