Enzyme removes barriers and energy humps

In fact, it is more like an enzyme than a catalyst. A catalyst just hastens an existing reaction, an enzyme facilitates even those that are not possible otherwise. It removes barriers and energy humps.

Why shouldn't Indian "scientists" who propagate myths and superstitions, be sacked? Why should Indian tax payers contribute to the salaries of quacks in the education system? It is a colossal embarrassment that India continues to produce such academics. https://t.co/zPDOHpjLKL

How do you know what they are saying is a myth or a superstition?

There are a lot of things, still, despite a lot of progress, about nature which science does not have any clue about

Why not allow all to speak their mind?

Why curb #FOE of others? https://t.co/GtzN2GBqzk

Remember one thing Karna. Everybody has challenges in life. LIFE IS NOT FAIR & EASY ON ANYBODY. But what is Right (Dharma)is known to your Mind (conscience).

No matter how much unfairness we got, how many times we were disgraced, how many times we fall, what is important is how you REACTED at that time.

Life's unfairness does not give you license to walk the wrong path. Always remember, Life may be tough at few points, but DESTINY is not created by the SHOES we wear but by the STEPS we take... #LordKrishna

Most philosophers are never valued in the times they exist as their philosophies are too right brained for the left brains to understand. It’s only when we start imbibing these philosophies in daily life, we quote them. Socrates was sentenced to death and Confucius died in exile.

"People on the left have illusions about human nature and think they prove their virtue by broadcasting those illusions. Anyone who punctures those illusions is therefore not just a spoilsport but a threat"

All belief systems are quick to dismiss constructive criticism because the introduction of contradictory thoughts leads to ego collapse. When two belief systems collide, divisiveness arises due to the threat of ego collapse, fear of the unknown.

They have no deep, tested,historically validated comprehensive conception of human nature but base their ideas on immediate whimsical appetites of newly born fools.

A spiritual person isn't a politician in a common sense but he's political in another way: he throws the problematicity of reality into the face of society. To pretend that politics is something indecent for a spiritual person is the worst sophistry you can imagine. —Jan Patočka

“We don’t describe how the world evolves in time: we describe how things evolve in local time & how local times evolve relative to each other. The world isn’t like a platoon advancing at the pace of a single commander. It’s a network of events affecting each other” -Carlo Rovelli

There are at least a thousand books by and on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, yet a recent compilation is being projected as an earth shaking event. In its earlier avatar, this book was responsible for spreading false impressions about Sri Aurobindo. So, beware of the author's skew !

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1081942565564248065?s=19

The members at Sri Aurobindo Ashram Archives have taken considerable pains to publish Sri Aurobindo's writings as impeccably as possible. A Twitter handle is persistently distorting them by inserting pictures against the author's intention. Needs to be sued. #MyTwitterAnniversary
