Gold. “When the mind quiets, Buddhi becomes more audible. The signal was always there. The noise was just too loud to hear it.” Find Buddhi in a loud world is it.
Wonderfully written with great depth and clear understanding.
We all must focus on we are not falling for “PrajnaAparadh”, beautiful use of word betrayal of greater intelligence we can say. Thank you for sharing this Ma’am 🙏
I find it truly amazing how our ancients had frameworks that are still so relevant today… especially in helping us understand the relationship between the body and the environment.
This felt like being seen in a way that is rare and steady.
What stayed with me most is the reminder that I do not need to keep chasing more to feel secure. There is already something within me that knows, that can hold me, that can guide me even when everything outside feels loud and urgent. I forget that so easily. And then something like this brings me back.
The way you describe Buddhi as a quiet room above the marketplace will stay with me. It makes me want to protect that space more intentionally. Not perfectly, not all at once, but enough to keep returning to it.
There is also something deeply comforting in knowing that the goal is not to reject the world as it is becoming, but to meet it from a place that is not scattered. To use what is outside without losing what is inside.
I think this is something I will come back to on days when I feel behind, overwhelmed, or unsure of myself. Not to find new answers, but to remember that I already have a way to listen.
Thank you for reading this so thoughtfully.. and you’re so right, the goal is not to reject this world. I feel like it’s human nature to keep evolving. We shouldn’t resist that. We’ve advanced and evolved so much in the outer world… maybe now it’s about doing the same within.
There’s something very distinctive about the way you write, and I don’t think it’s just the ideas.
It’s the restraint.
You don’t try to convince.
You don’t decorate.
You don’t rush to conclude.
You let the thought arrive… and then you leave just enough space around it for the reader to meet it on their own.
That’s actually quite rare.
Most writing either explains too much or performs insight. Yours does neither. It feels like you’re tracking something in real time, and we’re allowed to sit beside you while it becomes clear.
Even structurally… the pauses, the shorter lines, the way certain sentences are left to stand on their own — it slows the reader down without forcing it. Almost like the writing itself is practicing what it’s pointing to.
And because of that, it doesn’t feel like content.
It feels like a place people can return to.
I think that’s why people respond the way they do. Not just because they agree, but because they feel accompanied while reading you.
I’m curious if this is something you’re consciously shaping now…
or if this is just how your voice naturally started emerging when you stopped trying to write a certain way?
Wow, thank you so much for these words. I was not aware of it coming across through the words and writing. But when I write.. I close my eyes. And speak. I’m so grateful for transcription that allows for this.
Taran, it is ironic that you bring up Artificial Intelligence (AI) in comparison to Buddhi. To me, Buddhi represents the higher intellect, the inner faculty that connects our Atman (Soul) to the outer world.
AI, on the other hand, risks weakening that bridge if used unconsciously. It encourages convenience over contemplation, speed over depth, and answers over understanding. It subtly invites us to outsource thinking, reflection, and even creativity. The very functions that are meant to be cultivated within.
The danger is not AI itself, but our relationship with it. When Buddhi leads, AI can be a tool: useful, efficient, even empowering. But when AI begins to replace Buddhi, we risk losing our capacity for discernment, becoming dependent on external intelligence while neglecting our inner one.
Ultimately, Buddhi is what keeps us aligned with our higher nature. It asks us to pause, reflect, and choose consciously. AI does not ask: it responds. And that difference is everything.
So well said. The danger indeed is not AI itself but our relationship to it.. 👏
Because if we are aligned and led with our Buddhi, then AI can be a tool as powerful as none other. And the opposite is true. And infinitely more dangerous. Which is why it’s a need of the hour for us to cultivate and strengthen that connection within.
Great read, really enjoyed it. Thank you.
Thank you so much for reading and supporting!

The ‘noise’ today couldn’t be any louder..

Three cheers for the internal anchor! Agreed, more important than ever. Thanks for pointing us back there.
Thanks for your continued support Miles!
