Sthita-Prajna

Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.

Zen Proverb
Sweet Heat Lightning – Gregory Alan Isakov

Geeta, Chapter 2, Verse 54.

Arjun, curious, asked — How does an enlightened person

talk?

sit?

walk?

Krishna unpacks — a person of steady wisdom.

There is no high, no low.

No pleasure, no pain.

No sway, no downfalls.

No expectations, no attachments.

No fear, no anger.

No status, no power, no money.

No past, no future.

Absolutely nothing but —

you;

y.o.u.r quiet existence.

Namaste.

Mid Thirties. Go Figure

Wisdom — is not proportionate to the years you’ve pissed on this land.

~ Musicpervs

Mannu – Jhol

Trust yourself.

Deliberate assiduity calling.

People tell.

People talk.

Unsolicited advice rampant.

Unfair judgements nakedly screaming at your face.

Understand, what matters, matter!

You’re at your mid thirties. Go Figure!

Namaste.

Are you grateful?

Desire is a contract that you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want.

Naval Ravikant
Lost Myself – SYML

These days I have been hooked into the World History Videos.

It is hard for me to fathom the fact that no-one had hot shower until 50 years ago.

The electricity.

The entertainment.

Technology, the amenities, modern medicine, and the infrastructure we have today are mere fragments of imaginations for the ones who lived 100 years ago.

Someone said it right, “We are living like Kings.”

Yet.

We are never objectively happy.

Subjectively worse.

To top it off, the rampant social media; the flex culture in tandem bringing in the worst of us. Nakedly. Ignorantly. Unknowingly.

Are you grateful?

Namaste.

Is, Was

More is lost by indecision than wrong decision

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Chezile – Beanie

Robin is an ordinary 88 years old man just sitting on a park — all by himself.

When asked about how he feels at his age. He says, “Well… it feels less than 88… I don’t feel 88. It sort of comes up upon me.”

He further adds, “The older you get, the q.u.i.c.k.e.r it goes. and you have to make the most of it.”

There I remembered my Grand Ma.


When asked about if he has any regrets in his life.

He goes,”I suppose, I do,… yes. Not marrying the right girl!”

He digs deeper confronting he had the opportunity but he was too slow. He stresses, “Be Decisive and Go For It if you feel it’s right.”

There I remembered my Wife.


As naked as it can be, there will be one day when my ‘Is’ will become ‘Was’

When, stuff I stress about today will mean Nothing!

When, people or things that mean world to me today will be a distant memory.

Live immediately! One step at a time.

Namaste.

Gen Z

Life and Fairness are not promised

Musicpervs
Alex Warren – Ordinary

Generation Z or often referred to as ‘Zoomers’ are the ones who were born between late 1990s and ealy 2010s. They are often described as first true ‘digital nativees’, having grown up with smartphones, social media and the internet access.

On September 8, 2025. Gen Z organized a protest against Corruption. Although there are plenty of other narratives that have found its way on the local, national and global media.

Estimated total of 21 Gen Z protestors were Gunned down that day

The videos coming out were heart wrenching.

Heavy.

Unimaginable.


Nepal was crying.

People outraged!

But.

I can’t comprehend how a grown-ass man can pull the trigger aiming for the maximum fatality towards those kids.

I can’t comprehend how a genuine concern to call out on an evident corrupted system can have you killed. Not one. Not 5. Un-official data is:

51

I can’t comprehend how horrifying it would’ve been for the ones who heard the news of their loved ones killed.


My thoughts and prayers are with parents

who will never see their children,

who will never hear a word … from them,

who will never feel the warmth of their skin.

who will never share their laughter, their sadness, their happiness, their experience.

Grieving.

Empty.

I pray for Nepal.

I pray for the lost souls.

It still has not sunk-in yet.

Namaste.

Just Start

Don’t try to write a great book. Just write a book, then make it great later. Don’t try to build a perfect product. Just build a great product, then make it great later. Your initial jobisn’t creating something amazing. Or even something good.Your initial job is simply making something exist.

Hugh MacLeod
Krishna Stuti by Devrishi

After along day at work and a game or two of chess.

I was melting.

Eyes hurting.

Head heavy.

I wanted to sleep.


I needed to Start.

Just Start.

Kick in the momentum. Flowing..

Bake Musicpervs warm and fresh

Give her lungs to breathe, the heart to beat.

Show up!

Namaste.

Breaking the break

What is your home?

Musicpervs
Anomali (Reprise) – Jordan Critz

3 months since I last wrote.

3 months of heaven on hell, and hell in heaven experiences.

There were Thursdays i could have wrote a line or two.

I succumbed to my laziness.

Surrendered.

I slept a minute or two more.

Musicpervs is my home.

No matter where, when and how, I return to my home anyway.

Namaste.

Good things take time

The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.

The Obstacle Is the Way – Ryan Holiday
Laxmi Thapa – Topic

1293 days since I landed in JFK on October 03, 2021.

Took me 3 years, 6 months, 15 days.

42 months, 15 days to be able to step into the new phase of my life here in the US.

Today was a very special day.


Good things take time.

But your goal is important.

Perseverance is non-negotiable.

Responsibility,.. more responsibilities is called for

Obstacle is the way.

Setbacks would be an integral part of living.

Bits of rain, bits of sunshine are blessings.

Namaste.

Surfer Mentality

You can’t catch any waves siting on the shore. Always put yourself in the water.

Sahil Bloom

Laage Re Nain – Ayesha Omar, Rohali Hyatt

I was having a conversation with my Twin brother regarding the need of urgency in our lives.

I have been Pro-Urgent for a very long time.

I’m of an opinion that

Urgency invites change, demands commitment and hardship

Change invites Opportunities, demands consistency and discipline.

Opportunities invites responsibilities, makes like meaningful, purposeful and fruitful.

Wisdom demands what Bloom calls a ‘Surfer Mentality’

Meaning.

When a surfer rides a wave, they savor the present, knowing all too well that it won’t last forever. They fully immerse themselves in the experience, embracing each moment with the wisdom that more waves will follow.

Succinctly put.

Be mindful.

Of your decisions.

Of your indecisions.

Namaste.
