The myth of needing perfect conditions for peace

READ ON SUBSTACK

What does true peace look like?

Is it a secluded beach at sunset? A mountaintop retreat? The moment after you achieve a long-sought goal?

A photography contest once asked this same question—and the winning answer stunned everyone.

It wasn’t the most beautiful image. It wasn’t the most dramatic. But when the judges saw it, they immediately knew: This is it. This is real peace.

What did they see that moved them so deeply?

And more importantly – how can you access that same unshakeable calm, no matter your circumstances?

I explore this in my new video, “The Essence of Peace: A Journey Beyond Fear and Attachment.” It’s not what you might expect.

You’ll discover:

  • The hidden trap in how we chase peace (and why it keeps slipping away)
  • The 2-word mental shift that dissolves worry instantly
  • What predators, bouncing cups, and your deepest fears all have in common
  • Why “preparing for the worst” is actually the key to fearless living

This isn’t theory. It’s a revelation hiding in plain sight—in a poor village, in life-threatening crises in my life, and in the quiet space between your thoughts.

Peace isn’t something you find. It’s something you stop losing.

Watch here:

“The battle was never with the world. It was always in the mind—and the mind was never really you.”

P.S. The most extraordinary truths often wear the disguise of ordinary moments. This one might catch you by surprise.

READ AND WATCH THROUGH MY SUBSTACK

You’ve been told what to think. You’ve been conditioned to accept, obey, and conform. But what if everything you believe—everything you rely on—has been carefully placed there to keep you from seeing the truth?

What if the world around you isn’t what it seems?

This isn’t just another talk. It’s an experience—one that might shake the very foundation of what you think is real. But be warned: once you step through this door, there is no going back.

Are you ready to challenge everything? Watch now.

Sour Grapes and Self-Pity – Escaping Life’s Responsibilities

JOIN MY SUBSTACK. IT IS FREE.

In my journey of counselling and guiding individuals over the last decade through my Tavamithram blog, I have encountered numerous men and women who, after interactions with me, emerged more courageous, fearless, and self-confident. There have been a couple of young women who imbibed the knowledge I imparted so well that they did things requiring extensive courage—actions that would make a regular man think not just twice but three times. However, there are exceptions. Despite receiving extensive personal counselling, some individuals persist in wallowing in self-pity, which is something I always try to nip in the bud. This phenomenon, especially among young men, often manifests as existential rhetoric and disillusionment with worldly pursuits. This certainly does not sound even fundamentally manly to me.
