We are alone if we choose to be, but we are also seamlessly part of everything since that is the way This is the True knowledge, to see ourselves as part of the eternal and ever-present universe. The goal is to feel good through self-compassion but also work towards peace and harmony of all, limitlessly. We are subjective when we see ourselves as isolated individuals. We become increasingly objective when we are under self-control (in our physical/material world), with non-attachment (in our emotions), and liberated in our thoughts from all that bind and isolate us as "I" or individuals.
We gain tthis rue knowledge when we realize that all that is cognitive and all their enablers (laws of nature) are like two sides of a coin, like the waves on the surface and the deep ocean below - coexisting, inseparable, and enabling the other.
Even if a few among the readers learn to look at life in its larger context, an integral part of the universe at large, rather than being shackled by the constraints as isolated individuals or belonging to a small family, narrow social, religious, or political groups, my gratitude to you for that transformation and the joy it will bring forth for all around you.
The author has admirably succeeded in linking the ancient wisdom of Vedic philosophy to the needs of the modern world
