In this episode, you’re asked to reflect on the purpose of life and in particular about the purpose of your life! In this episode, I also talk about what I’m learning during my investigation of Buddhism and on the changes that I’m noticing since I started a regular practice of meditation and mindfulness. Ultimately, I seek to find out whether I’m being authentic to my being as I grow in self-knowledge.

The first episode in a series featuring chapters from a book I wrote around 1999 entitled “Cosmos”. This boo is an introduction to the subsequent book in which I explain what experiences motivated me to write the book and to share this work in the form of a blog named “Cosmos Online”. In this boo, I also share my experience as a child growing in a world which I felt partly out of touch and talk about the questions that I had as a child who was preoccupied with the big questions while living life as any ordinary child. This In this episode, I also talk about the evolution of my life’s outlook since the time I wrote “Cosmos”. Enjoy!

In this episode, I share a reflection on the phrase “I’m proud to be humble” and explaining how it’s important to interpret ‘pride” and “humility” within a context before one can say whether such a phrase makes sense. This reflection also explains how pride and humility aren’t intrinsically good or bad but closely related to our humanity and linked to the Buddhist outlook on life.

But, please tune in for future readings. Don't worry - this will not stop me from submitting other Boos...
