Self Knowledge

In Ancient Greece, when the philosopher Socrates was asked to sum up what all philosophical commandments could be reduced to, he replied: "Know yourself". Self-knowledge matters so much because it is only on the basis of an accurate sense of who we are that we can make reliable decisions - particularly around love and work. This book takes us on a journey into our deepest, most elusive selves and arms us with a set of tools to understand our characters properly.

What if the reason you feel stuck has nothing to do with what you’re trying to fix? Many of us try to change our thoughts, control our emotions, or push through discomfort, only to feel more overwhelmed. The problem is not effort. It is where the effort is being placed. The Four Energy Fields offers a simple way to understand how every experience moves through your whole system, not just one part of you. Your body in sensation. Your emotions in movement. Your mind in story. A deeper awareness that holds it all. When these parts are out of sync, life feels heavy and confusing.

Seduction still arouses controversy and wonder. Is it a sophisticated form of art, a psychological game, or perhaps the most powerful method of manipulation? Although seduction may seem like a male prerogative, as men are usually the conquerors, you will find that we, women, can also be seductive. In the past, women initiated seduction very subtly. A woman would nonchalantly allow her handkerchief to fall near the man whose attention she wanted to attract. He would pick it up and approach the woman while firmly convinced that he alone was the initiator. But still, the question remains: who ...

We may spend years mastering the external world–acquiring degrees, advancing careers, building families–without ever turning inwards to make sense of the person orchestrating it all: ourselves. This book is a guide to the elusive, essential task of self-knowledge. With clarity, gentleness and depth, it explores why we are often mysteries to ourselves, how our childhoods quietly script our behaviors and why seemingly trivial experiences–an abrupt word, a strange dream, a lingering mood–can hold the keys to profound insight.

Gambhiram Seshaier was a Municipal Overseer at Tiruvannamalai about 1900. He became a devotee of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi who was then living at the Virupaksha cave on the Arunachala Hill. A student of yoga, he was especially interested in Swami Vivekananda’s lectures on Raja Yoga, Jnana Yoga, etc. Finding some difficulty in understanding these and similar books, he brought them to the Maharshi for elucidation. Sri Bhagavan then went through each of them and wrote out in easy Tamil prose the gist of these works on bits of paper and answered supplementary questions put by Seshaier. ...

There are many ways of describing overthinking. It can be understood as a situation where one cannot stop worrying and thinking about things. Overthinking is not a disorder. It involves a fear that grows in you and overwhelms you, but you can’t help yourself but let it do so. In some cases, instead of crying it out, you simply opt to hold back your tears. It’s the fear of failure: failing at your job, failing a certain class, failing in your relationships.
