The Psychological Death and The Purity of Aloneness
The dissolution of the robotic response of the human brain is necessary to understand the hidden aspects of life and the afterlife. Such dissolution can be called the psychological death. It leads to wholesome and holistic living. Ending of the ego can be considered as a matter of psychological mortality. This is not usually recognized as a transformation that can take us beyond the purview of the habitual mindset. Exploring into that region brings about a life of higher order than that of the neurotic one in which the vast majority of people is caught currently.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Gopalakrishnan Chandrasekaran
We should all work towards a unified world of harmony and peace through attention to the esoteric aspects of life. The sectarian belief approach divides people and creates tension. Further, such an approach prevents pure self-awareness because it expects slavery to a system from its adherents. What is needed is a boldness to question and proceed as an explorer towards the truth. As an English poet said, "They are slaves who dare not be in the right of two or three." It should be noted here that group psychology is different from mob psychology only in degree, not in kind. Therefore, when people do not fall into groups of believers or non-believers (atheists, agnostics etc), then there is a possibility that they can remain open-minded and discover the truth. each one in one's own way. They create no enemies. My wish is to share with people whatever I have found meaningful in the deeper realms of life, body and mind.
