Full Transcript (auto-generated)I was going through the Mahabharat the other day and uh, I was in one of the earlier parts and I was going through the scene where King Shantanu's wife, the river goddess Ganga, takes their first baby to the river and drowns it. King Shantanu has made a promise to the Goddess Ganga, and that promise is that no matter what she does, he will not question her.So he silently watches and weeps. Later we are told that the reason the goddess was drowning the babies is because those babies were actually divine beings who had been cursed to be born on earth. So by drowning them, she was actually freeing them from their curse. After reading these scenes, I was struck by a strange thought, and that thought had to do with the kind of feelings that the scene evoked.When I was reading about the baby's drowning, I was feeling sad because obviously who wouldn't feel sad at the sight of a baby being drowned in a river by its own mother as the father of the baby watches. But then I was told that the babies were divine beings and everything was okay, because if it's going according to a plan, then no matter how twist the plan is, it's all okay.It wasn't an accident. It wasn't a tragedy. It wasn't... a bad thing. It was part of a plan, and that makes everything better. The reason I'm talking about this is because I wanted to talk about why mythological stories contain so much magic, why they contain so many divine plans, why they contain so many secret reasons behind things that happen, and often the things that happen are terrible.I gave you one example, but there are examples like this across mythology in every religion. Islamic mythology has it. Christian mythology has it. Every religion, I suppose, on some level has stories that are tragic, but they have super cool explanations behind them. So let's talk about why that happens. Why do mythological stories contain so much magic when they don't actually have to, like, you know, if the purpose of a mythological story is to be a cultural artifact that unites people, it can do that without having magic.Right? You can have a story about a brave prince who fought a... who, who fought another king and, uh, brought his wife back. You can have a story about a great teacher, uh, who told people nice things and then went back to wherever he came from. My theory is that it's because magic is a way to alleviate suffering.Magical thinking exists in mythological stories because if it didn't, these stories would be horrific tragedies. A person comes to Earth and tells people nice things about being good to each other, and yet he's crucified. But wait, everything is okay because he comes back to life. It's magic. It was all according to a plan, and things are all hunky dory now, so you don't need to feel bad.A child is persecuted and killed and it's very tragic. But wait, it's all okay because that child is now a star in the sky. Did someone die? Was it painful for? , did it rip your life apart? Wait, it's all okay. That person is not really dead. They're in another world having the best of times, so you don't really need to feel bad.I think the reason mythological stories contain magic is because life is terrible, and these stories by themselves cannot be processed without at least some kind of a bandaid. You've lost. And I have lost people too. And I can tell you from a personal experience that I would like nothing better than to know that the people who have lost did not die in pain and are now permanently gone.I would like to believe that they're having a great time in another world, and when someone tells me a story about them having a great time in another world, I want to believe it. , every fiber of my being wants to believe that the people who have lost close people, family members, friends, et cetera, who I loved very much, who are gone from my life and this world now, I would love to believe that they're not gone, and therefore the stories that tell me that they're no

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.by Max Ehrmann ©1927Narrated by Vimoh This is a public episode.

A brief note I wanted to share about digital detoxes and how to actually do one without leaving social media.I have very recently actually been on a little bit of an attempted detox. My Twitter account is just parked on Twitter. I don't feel that going back to Twitter. My Instagram account is still active, but I'm not actually using Instagram on my phone. I have removed the app from my phone. I'm using Instagram, the way people use Facebook.I'm logging into Instagram from the desktop computer's browser, and I'm just using Instagram from there. This reduces 24x7 stress that I experience because of social media, but it also helps me continue using Instagram because it is at the end of the day, one of the places through which I get my messages out, including this podcast episode, by the way.And there's something specific that I wanna talk about. It's digital detoxes and digital minimalism. I've been reading a book by Cal Newport called Digital Minimalism. It's about building focus in a word that offers us unending distractions in the form of social media. And Cal Newport has been a long time advocate of the idea that we should all quit social media because social media platforms are designed by corporations to be extremely addictive things.
