Veda Vichaar

"I am Time, the destroyer of worlds."

There comes a moment in every life where the illusion of control is shattered. On the battlefield of Kurukshetra, that moment arrived for Arjuna when the veil was lifted, and he saw the terrifying, magnificent truth of existence.

We often suffer because we carry the weight of the "Doer." We think we are the ones winning, losing, saving, or destroying. But the wisdom of the Vishvarupa Darshan offers a different reality: the outcome is often already written in the fabric of Time (Kala).

The Divine Will is a river that is already flowing. Our anxiety comes from trying to swim upstream. Our liberation comes from realizing we are not the source of the river, but the vessel floating upon it.

Krishna does not ask Arjuna to stop fighting; He asks him to stop worrying about the result. To become Nimitta-matram—a mere instrument. When you align your will with the Cosmic Will, the burden of the ego dissolves, and action becomes effortless.

You are not the cause. You are the chosen instrument. Act accordingly. 🏹🔥

Veda Vichaar

The Yoga Vasistha offers a radical and empowering perspective on destiny. In the Mumukshu Vyvahara Prakarana, Sage Vasistha teaches Lord Rama that what we commonly call Fate, or Daiva, does not exist as an independent, mystical force. It is merely a word we use to describe the momentum of our own past actions.
The text describes a constant friction between two forces: the fatalistic weight of the past and the dynamic power of the present. Vasistha asserts that the present moment is infinitely more potent than the past because it is active, visible, and alive, whereas the past is merely a memory.
If your circumstances feel overwhelming, it is not because the universe is against you. It is simply because the momentum of your past actions is currently outweighing your present effort. The solution prescribed by the Sage is not prayer or resignation, but Purushartha—absolute, self-reliant effort.
Vasistha urges the seeker to "grind their teeth" in determination. We are not victims of a pre-written script; we are the authors writing it in real-time. To rely on fate is to surrender your power; to rely on self-effort is to reclaim it.

Veda Vichaar

Most people spend their lives debating whether this world is real or illusion, pleasant or painful. But Advaita Vedanta points in a different direction. Instead of arguing about the nature of the world, it asks you to examine the one who is experiencing it.

According to the Self-Inquiry teachings, the entire world rises with the thought of “I”. When the sense of “I” appears, the world appears with it. And when the “I”-sense subsides, the world also loses its solid reality. Therefore, the real search is not outside but within.

All dualities, conflicts, and mental struggles arise only because the limited “I” is taken to be the real self. The moment we investigate this “I” thought and follow it to its source, something remarkable happens: the ego-I dissolves into the infinite Self.

This is the true vision of reality. Not a philosophical conclusion, but a direct experience in which all division comes to an end. The seeker does not discover something new, but realizes the truth that was always present: the Self alone is real.

Veda Vichaar

Bhagavad Gita 2.69
याऽनिशा सर्वभूतानां तस्यां जागर्ति संयमी।
यस्यां जाग्रति भूतानि सा निशा पश्यतो मुनेः॥

Translation:
“That which is night to the ordinary person is day to the sage; and that which ordinary beings consider day is night to the sage.”


Most people stay “awake” to desires, fears, successes, failures, and endless noise of the world. That is what feels real to them.

But the sage remains “awake” to the inner Self.
Their focus is not on external drama, but on inner clarity.

Does that mean a sage avoids life?
Not at all. The Gita does not teach withdrawal; it teaches inner steadiness while performing your duties. A sage may work, care for a family, or contribute to society, but their consciousness stays centered on the Self rather than the world’s reactions.

This is the meaning of engaged detachment.
You live in the world… but you don’t lose yourself to the world.

Krishna teaches that action itself is unavoidable—we are always doing something. The real question is how we act.

When we perform our duties without attachment to the results, and offer every action to the Divine, our work becomes worship. This is the essence of Nishkama Karma—action without craving, ego, or expectation.

Such action purifies the mind, loosens the knots of karma, and gradually leads us towards freedom.

काम करने से मुक्ति नहीं, काम में लगे अहंकार से मुक्ति।
