Seorang pria asal India bernama Dulal Giri Ji Maharaj menarik perhatian publik karena menjalani praktik spiritual yang tidak biasa selama 12 tahun terakhir. Dalam kesehariannya, ia memilih tetap berdiri dan tidak duduk ataupun tidur di lantai. Untuk beristirahat, Dulal disebut tidur dalam posisi berdiri dengan bantuan alat penyangga. Dulal memutuskan keluar dari universitas untuk menjalani kehidupan religius. Ia meyakini praktik tersebut dapat membawanya bertemu dengan dewa Hindu Mahadev. Dalam sebuah dokumentasi yang beredar, terlihat seorang relawan membantu merawat kakinya dengan mengoleskan salep dan cairan disinfektan. Perawatan tersebut dilakukan untuk membantu mengurangi pembengkakan dan menangani dampak kesehatan akibat bertahun-tahun menjalani posisi berdiri. #India #PraktikSpiritual #DewaHinduMahadev #Berdiri #Sindonews

@philosophymeme0 i mean the god could create a creature that near or almost equal as it. why created a creature so weak and powerless? is it afraid that we could topple it from its throne? but thats impossible bcs the god is omnipotent and omniscient... then why not?

@philosophymeme0 yeah like why did god created us so that we could pray on it. like why even created a creature far beneath it anyway. bcs the god is benevolent? then why entire human existence are mostly about enduring and hardship

how can i make you stop from giving me anger-inducing post, X?

truly fascinating computation. trapping the so called intelligent mind alike. and they didn't even realize it. debating trivialities, creating a problem that shouldn't even exist in the first place. where you can spend those entire time by simply... reading more book

ah X. you're doing it again aren't you? here i thought by following book niche topic i would be free from anger-triggering statement. and yet... why the algorithm always found a way to invoke such emotion

@moonbeamsmaria you should read Flowers for Algernon. it would do something with your pretentiousness

@moonbeamsmaria and yeah. definitely skill issues. true avid reader wouldn't discriminate book

one bad thing about reading classics is now im so strict about prose 😭 sometimes i just wanna read slop but i physically CAN’T

@PAHoyeck oh wow. i just finished the way of king since i read it from february. hope i can make it 30 by 2030

Sorry, people on Booktok do WHAT??

@karunpal so sad, life that cant bear the emptiness and fill every second to justify the existence itself, to keep moving. boredom is such a interesting emotion to feel with. try to stare your boring wall for 1 hour and doing nothing

I live a very private life. Away. Alone. Observing. Learning. I never get bored. Like ever. I love vibing alone. Just doing my shit. Writing. Reading old classics. Watching documentaries about ancient Egyptians. Listening to some low-fi, some classical. Cooking. Pacing around the room. Self-talk about meaning of life and all. Drink green tea on my balcony. Feel the calm. Go for a walk in the woods. Sit on random rock. Talk to a tree. Look at birds going back home. Come home. Focus on my new obsession (mechanical watchmakers). But bored... nah. Never.

@Black_Chalk19 @Nlacombe_ ah my bad. here i thought we're talking like two curious soul inside a cafe, yet you keep dissecting my words as if we're in the middle of political debate. you got your trophy then

@diminishism @Nlacombe_ No i don't think so, overconsumption is never good, duh. But if we going to argue about the what if of negatives/positive side then it's just a neverending argument, innit? 😅 I talk A- issues and u bring B- as answer, thats why in any research there is a limit scope of topic

you’re 22. you scroll 3 hours a day. it feels harmless at 28 you can’t read an article without checking your phone twice per paragraph at 32 you don’t understand why nothing you start ever finishes, you’re still dreaming of this project you wanted to start. still no time at 40 you’ve never finished a book in a decade. it all passed

@athenaeumbc i noticed the way that you over intellectualize / over romanticize heavy classics books with the passion of capitalism. it's kinda off

@athenaeumbc so... youre reading book to improve your intelligence? not bcs the book nudge your soul, or it would quench your thirst of curiosity? human can survive without book reading, not all people in the ancient greek/rome or medieval era was such a bookworm. in fact, only privilege

Did you know that fewer than half of US adults read a book last year? In our academic system, it is normal to go from kindergarten to PhD without reading a single page of Homer, Plato, Augustine, Dante, or Milton. In any other age, such a person would not be considered educated at all. Since the state refuses to teach the Great Books of Western Civilization, we've started an independent group to the study them together. To preserve a culture, you must continually study the books and ideas that created it. Below are just some of the texts on our reading list! If this sounds like something you'd like to be part of, please join our group. We read a new classic text approx. every month and meet biweekly to discuss. We are studying the great works in dialogue with each other. Most of what we put out is free, but to support our efforts, please consider a paid subscription. It makes a huge difference to the time and resources we can dedicate to this project. We are entirely independent, funded only by the incredible members of this community. Paid members get: - Live book club discussions (biweekly) - Essays to guide you through the books we're reading - Access to the community chat room - The full archive of discussions and essays - Ability to vote on what we read next... Join us!

@karunpal reading misery book in a comfortable chair and cool AC are not the same as experience it raw in real life without losing yourself

@karunpal enjoy the lens, appreciate the depth it reveals, but don't confuse the map with the territory. when your own suffering arrives. his book might help you name it or endure it, but he won't feel it for you. that part is yours alone, and it's where the real reading of life begins

Rereading Dostoevsky for the third time. He understood human suffering better than any psychologist I've read. Because I believe psychologists observe suffering. Dostoevsky lived inside it. Faced a firing squad. Survived. Spent four years in a Siberian prison camp. Gambled everything away. Loved people who destroyed him. And wrote it all down. As fiction. Because in fiction you can say the truth. The kind of truth that if you say it in open, people will think you're crazy. Read him if you haven't. Reread him if you have. He will show you parts of yourself you didn't know existed.

I stopped thinking and my life got better

@PromptLLM "outcompete"? thats the most unhinged word to use to justifying your existence

Incredible advice from Claude
