Alok da, like during the times of COVID, there is a continuous fear psychosis being produced about the incoming mass unemployment due to the threat of AI.

What should be one’s mental orientation when there’s an atmosphere of fear all around in the air? How does one shield oneself amidst all this? The progenitors of AI like Elon Musk and Sam Altman are announcing and kind of gloating about how most jobs will be gone in no time in their interviews.

One cannot deny that there is some truth in the statement. When machines took over, the labourers and the workers were threatened. When big Corporates came up, small businesses felt threatened. So too, with the drones taking over the battlefield, the warrior’s role is changing. Robocops may be next. Similarly will impact the knowledge based work. However, the change will be a shift of roles, as we see in the other examples. AI will still be human-driven, and there are forms of knowledge that will still require humans. Besides, human beings have an amazing power of adaptation. New things, new possibilities would surely emerge. After all, the Creator knows how to look after His Creation. Musk and Sam are mere instruments and not the authors of earth’s fate. Each technological advance has led to some atrophy of functions but also to the emergence of a new possibility. Let us live with this faith that it is God’s world after all and He knows how to look after it and take care of it. Faith is, after all, the best antidote against all fears.

I feel completely lost on my path and overwhelmed by academic and inner struggles that may force me to leave my PhD. Unable to burden my parents, I carry this pain alone, yet whenever I look at the Mother’s photograph, an intense guilt arises that my mistakes are too many and that it is too late to fix anything. 🙏🏻💛[…]

One can never be lost enough as to not connect with Her. In fact, the more we feel lost, the more we should call Her and connect with Her. Who else one would call? She is The Mother and She would very much want that Her children call Her in distress rather than sink into despair. There is no error She cannot rectify, no mistake She …

Alok da, I have been observing two persistent, conflicting movements within my being that I struggle to understand. First, despite my conscious mind recognizing negative thoughts like jealousy, rivalry, or criticism as useless, something deep within still gives in and derives a strange, perverse pleasure from them. 🪞🙏🏻[…]

Human beings are a bundle of contraries. All of us carry these contradictory aspects which takes time to be reconciled or bridged. The process of true reconciliation begins by finding the psychic being which automatically widens us and sees the real and unreal defects of others with generosity and compassion. But the critical mind takes almost a perverse pleasure in fault-finding though most often its assessments are mistaken as it sees only a …
