Does money Really Matters?

You Don’t Actually Want ₹1 Crore… Here’s What You Really Want



Let’s be honest:

When people say, “I want to make ₹1 crore,” they’re not talking about the physical stack of cash.


They’re dreaming of what they believe that ₹1 crore will bring:


  • Freedom — to quit the job they hate or travel the world
  • Peace of mind — to stop worrying about rent, bills, and emergencies
  • The ability to say “no” — to clients, bosses, or situations that don’t feel right
  • Guilt-free spending — like ordering dessert without checking their bank balance



But here’s the surprising truth:

If you don’t feel free, secure, or confident with ₹1 lakh…

You probably won’t feel that way with ₹1 crore either.



Why? Because It’s Not Really About the Number.



Money is not just currency. It’s emotionally charged.

For many of us, money = fear, guilt, or anxiety.

We worry we don’t have enough. Then we fear losing what little we have.

Even when we earn more, that mindset doesn’t magically disappear — it just scales up.


You’ll go from:


  • Stressing over a ₹500 restaurant bill
    → to stressing over a ₹5 lakh tax notice
  • Feeling anxious about not saving enough each month
    → to feeling anxious about investing ₹50 lakhs the “right” way



The numbers changed.

But you didn’t.



What Do You Actually Want?



Let’s decode the dream behind the crore.


What you’re really chasing is:


  • ✅ Control over your time
    So you can spend your days doing what matters to you — not what pays the bills
  • ✅ Confidence in your decisions
    So you don’t panic every time the stock market dips or your income fluctuates
  • ✅ Calm in your financial life
    So you sleep well at night, knowing you’re okay — whether you have ₹10,000 or ₹10 million



And guess what?


None of these things start with a windfall.

They start with a shift in mindset.



Build Wealth From the Inside Out



Instead of obsessing over how to earn more, try asking:


  • Do I have clarity on what “enough” looks like for me?
  • Do I make money decisions from fear or intention?
  • Am I using money to express my values — or impress other people?



Start small:


  • Track your spending without judgment
  • Celebrate paying off debt, no matter how little
  • Say no to things you can afford but don’t align with your priorities
  • Talk openly about money — not just the wins, but the worries too



When you build a healthier relationship with ₹10,000,

You’re laying the foundation to manage ₹1 crore with wisdom, peace, and purpose.


Because the real goal isn’t a bank balance.


The real goal is freedom without fear.

And that starts today — not someday.

Pleasure in Meditation and Sex.

The idea that deep meditation can produce feelings of intense pleasure—sometimes compared to orgasmic states—has been discussed both in scientific literature and by advanced practitioners of meditation, particularly within traditions like Tibetan Buddhism, Theravāda Buddhism, and yogic practices. However, it’s important to approach this comparison carefully, as the nature of meditative bliss differs from sexual orgasm in physiological mechanisms, duration, and subjective experience. 1.  Bliss in Deep Meditation (Jhāna States) In Theravāda Buddhism, jhāna refers to a set of deeply absorbed states of concentration. The second through fourth jhānas, in particular, are said to involve profound states of pīti (rapture or joy) and sukha (pleasure or bliss). Pīti is described as a thrilling, energetic joy that can feel overwhelming. Sukha is a more tranquil, deep sense of well-being and pleasure. These feelings are not sexual in origin, but they are intense and can be more ...

Magical Pattern with 3 & 5

The numbers 3 and 5 hold significant patterns across various domains, often appearing in natural, cultural, mathematical, and symbolic contexts. Their “magical” quality stems from their frequent occurrence, mathematical properties, and human tendency to find meaning in numerical patterns. Below, I explore their connections and provide examples of their presence in the world. Mathematical Connections 1.  Prime Numbers : Both 3 and 5 are prime numbers, indivisible except by 1 and themselves. This gives them a foundational role in number theory. •  Example: The Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, …) includes both 3 and 5, and approximates the golden ratio, which appears in art and nature. 2.  Multiples and LCM : The least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15, a number that often appears in cycles or modular arithmetic. •  Example: In music, time signatures like 3/4 and 5/4 create rhythmic patterns, and 15-beat cycles are common in Indian classical music (e.g.,...
