The Trap of Clarification: Why You Don't Owe Anyone an Explanation

Oh, so this episode is a kind of reminder about the trap of clarification. Anybody in the world who goes on defense most of the time will always be on defense and can never fight in offense effectively. So, don't always go into defense. The power to question is true power. Basically, your right to question gives you power. The more people question, the clearer things become. But you know, when you ask questions, some people might not answer them clearly. Sometimes, they’ll just dodge or give vague answers. Now, questioning and having the ability to question isn’t always about knowledge—it’s systematically given. Like, who has more money, who is higher in rank, or who is more educated. That’s the system we are using now. It’s like, "This guy will be the most powerful, then under him, there will be 20 people, and under them, 50 more." It’s all hierarchical. But this doesn’t have to be systematic. If you understand it, anyone can question. Everybody has the right to question...

Exploring the Teachings of Krishnamurti, Ramana Maharshi & Krishna Consciousness by Abhey Singh known as IITIAN Baba



Alright, guys, welcome to the sixth episode of the fourth season. Today, I’m going to start by making a disclaimer.

I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again: I’m nobody. Honestly, I don’t care what people think—that’s the truth.

I’m not trying to be someone or emulate anybody, not even successful figures like Bill Gates. I mean, look at him

a reportedly unhappy marriage and a life filled with its own struggles. Seriously, tell me one person who is 100%

happy and content. Happiness itself is a misused concept.

Anyway, I’m not interested in forming groups or gaining followers. The world is going to do what it’s going to do, and no matter what I do, I can’t change the course of time. Science has taught us that energy always balances itself out in the universe. Everything eventually stabilizes. That’s the truth.

Take, for example, the teachings of J. Krishnamurti. He led a very disillusioned life. He thought he’d figured it all out and tried to share it with people, believing they’d understand and that it would make a difference. He opened schools, talked to children, elders, and scientists, and gave it his all. Yet, even after he passed, his videos and thoughts remain as fragments of his consciousness. That’s the legacy he left behind.

Similarly, consider Krishna consciousness—a collection of ideas and thoughts that have guided many. In the Mahabharata, Krishna tells Arjuna to do his duty without worrying about the results. This principle—to act without being attached to the outcome—is profound. If you try to control everything, you’re only proving how limited your own self is. Don’t get caught up in idolizing or overanalyzing others.

No one can verify or certify your worth from the outside. You’ve come into this world as an individual, and it’s your responsibility to understand life and its truths. Words themselves are limiting. So, let me share a story about Ramana Maharshi. What’s most inspiring about his life isn’t what he taught or the miracles he performed—it’s the way he lived for others and gave up all desires. Living without desire is incredibly challenging. Why live if you have no desires? That’s where understanding karma and duty comes into play.

Karma teaches us to act without desire, which is fascinating. It’s about taking action without being attached to the outcome. This idea aligns with Ramana Maharshi’s path of knowledge, or “Jnana Marga.” It’s the path of questioning and seeking truth, similar to a scientist. A real scientist doesn’t stop questioning; they go deeper and deeper until they reach the core.

Most of us live superficial lives. We say we believe in God or science, but often it’s just blind belief. If science is ruling, then people label it as fact. If religion is in power, then religion becomes fact. It’s all systematic manipulation. Ramana Maharshi’s teaching was simple: silence. He believed words can only take you so far. Real peace and understanding come from within, through self-work.

Right now, the world is driven by a few dominant forces. One of them is science, which justifies facts and rules the narrative. Another is capitalism, which relies on desire and output to drive human actions. It’s corrupted, but it’s what keeps the system going. Then there’s governance, like democracy, which is flawed because it often functions on corruption. Even family structures are breaking down.

I’m working hard, studying and analyzing all these teachings for about 10 hours a day. But let’s be clear: real work is what makes you unhappy. If you’re happy, it’s not considered work. Think about it.

Ramana Maharshi also pointed out an interesting idea: observe the three states of being. What are these states? Understanding them can lead you to deeper truths about life. His teachings emphasize self-discovery and the pursuit of inner peace. It’s not about listening to someone else—it’s about doing the work yourself.

Namaskar, Universe Talk by Abhey Singh known as IITIAN Baba

The Universe is vast and full of different energies and forms. Most humans seem to think they understand everything, but often they are trapped in a world of pretense, greed, and shallow behavior. People use others for their benefit, taking advantage of their fame and resources. They act clever, but their actions often lead to chaos and destruction in society. When society accepts foolish behavior as normal, it becomes riddled with crime and corruption. People pretend to be spiritual or enlightened, calling someone "Guruji" or "Babaji," but they treat them like commodities, expecting favors in return for money. Even so-called spiritual ashrams resemble hotels, where transactions are the primary focus. This misuse of titles and terms has stripped them of their true meaning. For instance, anyone can wear certain clothes and be called "Babaji," but they don’t need to undergo any spiritual or mental preparation. True spirituality requires immense internal work...

The Essence of Guru and Shishya: Understanding the Relationship by Abhey Singh known as IITIAN Baba

Part 1 The relationship between the guru (teacher) and shishya (disciple) is often shrouded in spiritual and philosophical depth. In various traditions, the guru is seen as the embodiment of divine energy, a guide who leads the disciple toward enlightenment. However, the question arises: who is the one that makes the guru, the guru? Is it the disciple? In this discourse, we explore this profound relationship and its dualities. Guru as the Embodiment of Divinity The popular saying "Guru is Brahma, Guru is Vishnu, Guru is Mahesh" highlights the revered status of the guru in spiritual traditions. However, it leads us to an intriguing question: if the guru is indeed a form of God, who then makes the guru the guru? Is it the disciple who elevates the guru to this status? In other words, can the disciple, through their learning and devotion, create the space for the guru to manifest? This question leads us to explore the concept of duality. For example, if we consider light and d...

Exploring the Future of AI and Knowledge Systems: A Discussion on Machine Learning, Identity, and Society by Abhey Singh known as IITIAN Baba

  In today's digital age, machine learning (ML) is making a significant impact on how we perceive and interact with information. One of the most exciting advancements in this field is the creation of language models (LMs) based on ancient languages such as Sanskrit. The potential of these models to simulate and generate complex patterns is fascinating, especially as we observe how such technologies can create simulations of reality. The use of Sanskrit, despite being an ancient language, is increasingly relevant. Though many people do not understand it fully, it serves as a great tool for developing artificial intelligence systems. Modern AI models can simulate Sanskrit's structure, which is crucial for creating a logical framework within machine learning. This opens the door to a wealth of possibilities in developing AI systems that can generate mantras and other forms of traditional knowledge. Machine Learning in Action: The Role of Sanskrit and AI The idea of using AI for cr...
