"Emotional intelligence is the key to both personal and professional success." — Daniel Goleman.
Emotions are the invisible drivers of our lives. They shape how we think, act, and connect with others. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the skill that helps you navigate this complex terrain. It’s about understanding and managing your own emotions while also empathizing with others. In a world where success often depends on collaboration and connection, EQ is a superpower.
WHAT IS EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE?
Emotional intelligence is your ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions—both your own and others’. It’s not about suppressing feelings but rather using them as tools to enhance decision-making, communication, and relationships.

The Four Pillars of Humanity’s Collective Wisdom: Awareness, Compassion, Resilience, and Purpose. These are the guiding principles of life, which keep us steady in the storms of change and lead us toward fulfillment.
Imagine standing before a vast, timeless temple, built on four solid pillars. These pillars not only support the weight of the structure but also symbolize inner harmony and stability. Similarly, our lives are supported by four fundamental pillars: Awareness, Compassion, Resilience, and Purpose. These are not merely abstract ideas; they are concrete principles to which we can always return, to find meaning, balance, and strength.
The Four Pillars remind us of the essential truths of life. Awareness shows us how to be present; Compassion teaches us to connect with ourselves and others; Resilience helps us learn from adversity; and Purpose gives direction and fills us with motivation. Together, these principles form an inner map that guides us not only individually but also transforms communities and the world.

C. G. Jung believes that we need to go through three births in our lifetime. The first is our physical birth, then the birth of our Ego, and spiritual birth of Consciousness. In accordance with that fact, we also undergo three phases of development in our life. In the first third of our lives, emphasis is on our bodily growth, in the middle phase of our lives our Ego grows, and the last third of our lives is the period of our internal development. While at the first two births the most important thing is the maximum exploitation of the opportunities offered by the external world. In the third phase, however, the emphasis shifts on our internal development potentials. Unfortunately, the majority of people will never experience the spiritual birth for various reasons. Let us examine the possible reasons for that, to find out what factors prevents spiritual birth in us.
“Advaita is the recognition that the self, the world, and the infinite are one and the same.”
Advaita Vedanta, the philosophy of non-duality, provides a comprehensive framework for realizing the oneness of existence. Here is a summary of its essential teachings:
1. THE SELF IS INFINITE AND ETERNAL
• “You are not the body, nor the mind; you are pure awareness.”
The self (Atman) is the true essence of being—eternal, infinite, and beyond all form. It is the witness of all states (waking, dreaming, and deep sleep) and remains unaffected by the fluctuations of life.
“To know yourself as the Being beneath the thinker, the stillness beneath the noise, is freedom.” — Eckhart Tolle

The question “Who am I?” is both simple and profound. It is the doorway to self-realization, the key to unraveling the mystery of existence. This question is not a riddle to solve intellectually but an inquiry that cuts through the layers of illusion and false identification to reveal the truth of your being. The practice of self-inquiry, known as Atma Vichara, is one of the most direct paths to awakening, as taught by the great sage Ramana Maharshi.
To ask, “Who am I?” is to challenge the deeply ingrained beliefs that you are your body, your mind, your emotions, or your roles. It is to look beyond the surface and discover the silent awareness that underlies all experience. As the Ashtavakra Gita reminds us:
“You are not the body or the mind. You are the awareness in which all things appear. Know this and be free.”
Disciple: Master, what is love? We speak of it often, but what does it truly mean?
Master: Love is not an emotion that comes and goes, my disciple. It is the very essence of existence. It is the force that connects everything, the thread that weaves together the universe. Love is not something you do; it is something you are.
Disciple: But why is it so difficult to live from love?
Master: The mind distracts you from love. It creates fear, separation, and judgment. These are all illusions. Love is beyond the mind’s grasp. It is a feeling of unity, of being at one with everything. When the mind quiets, love is all that remains.
