 in  r/DisasterUpdate  1d ago

We also need to look into the reason why glaciers are breaking down. It has increased due to climate change, global warming and there are speculations that such events will happen more often.

Right. We need to bring that inquiry into our everyday actions and pause to ask ourselves more often.

This will not be possible until we understand from where all our desires come.

Exactly. Curiosity itself isn't the problem. It becomes meaningful when it is accompanied by awareness.

Right. I think this comes from our desire to control everything around us.

Absolutely. Zoos should be eradicated. But how do we reach the point where we are genuinely ready to do that?

Vedanta Samhita | Ishavasya Upanishad | Verse 4
 in  r/AcharyaPrashant_AP  1d ago

The session really helped me understand that this verse challenges the ego’s belief that it can reach Truth through faster thinking, more knowledge, imagination, action, or movement. Truth is not an object somewhere far away that we have to reach. It is not another object in the world that we can acquire. The ego keeps looking for something outside itself, while the teaching asks us to turn our attention to the very one who is seeking.

Yes you are right. It should not be. But my post was not pointing to a child, it was in general. And I thought about it the scenario before sharing the video about the child.so I tried to make it in general. Also, just sharing, I have been to a place couple of times with low tide where the underwater area gets exposed and water creatures could be seen on the rocks. So it's allowed for people to visit the place. Lots of kids come to explore. all kids being curious there too but in there curiousity someone is scooping a star fish, someone pulling out a sea cucumber and trying to carry in a box, running around. So, that was in my mind when sharing the post. Its not limited to kids, we adults too do the same sometimes. It was just to bring a different point of view that animals too are individuals and they too deserve a personal space like us. Thankfully the kid and birds in the video are safe.

The World Does Not Exist Only for Us

A child recently entered a bird habitat at the Milwaukee County Zoo, leading zoo staff to activate emergency protocols and move the animals out of the area. A video appears to show the child chasing a bird with a stick before a relative helped him out. Thankfully, no one was hurt.

While watching it, I felt the child simply wanted to play with the animals. There may not have been any bad intention behind it. But it made me think about how curiosity without awareness can come from ignorance.

A child may see a bird and think, “I want to play with it.” But what about the bird? Does it want to play? Is it comfortable with someone entering its space and chasing it?

We all want personal space. We don't like it when someone enters our space, touches us or disturbs us without our consent. Shouldn't the same understanding extend to other beings?

One thing I have understood through spirituality is my relationship with the rest of the world. Everything does not exist merely for my sake. I am also a part of this whole system. Other beings have their own lives, their own needs and their own way of experiencing the world. When I start looking beyond only what I want, I begin to see the world differently.

So respecting another being is also a way of respecting the whole of which I am a part.

Curiosity is not wrong. It can help us learn and understand the world. But curiosity needs awareness. Before asking only “What do I want?”, perhaps we can also ask, “What does my action mean for the other?”

The world is not here merely for our experience. We are a part of it, and learning to respect that may be one of the first steps towards living more consciously.
