The swords hanging at your head are keeping you in fear 24×7. Let them fall. They will only cut the artificial heads given to you by society. Your original head will stay unharmed. You will become free and fearless.

Quote
Suppose you have 2L of nectar and you want a vessel to keep it. There is a golden vessel of 1L capacity and there is a steel vessel of 2L capacity. If your mind were free, you would choose the steel vessel and be happy. But your mind is conditioned to believe that gold is better than steel. So none of the vessels will make you happy. Steel one will make you feel inferior and gold one can't contain all of your nectar.

We think and speak in a certain language. So language seems to be a natural thing. It is not! It's a set of symbols decided by the society. It's the operating system of society just like windows or android. Silence (no speech, no thought) is the only way to log out of society and log in to the universe.

The strength of a belief depends on the stories woven around it. Once you have woven enough stories around your belief, even God can't get you out of it.

If you are obsessed with a social issue, you carry a deep wound from your past. Thank you for your service to society, but what are you doing to heal yourself?Society lives in the mind. If you heal your inner wounds, your outer world will also clean up. If you don't, you'll become part of toxic groups and rabid activism.
