Vedic Dhyana Rig Veda 1.7.2
इन्द्र॒ इद्धर्यो॒: सचा॒ सम्मि॑श्ल॒ आ व॑चो॒युजा॑ । इन्द्रो॑ व॒ज्री हि॑र॒ण्यय॑: ॥
(“Indra himself comes, harmoniser, with his steeds yoked by the word; Indra the golden with his thunderbolt.” Translated by TV Kapali Sastry)
Notice वचोयुजा ! The horses of Indra are joined by the word!
The movement of Indra facilitated by the horses joined to his chariot signify the ability of the intelligence to move with speed
This speed is brought together by the word, the mantra, the sound! They had found a secret, that is, of the power of speech and invocation the Rishis
This is something unique with the Veda. To me it sounds as the birth of Tantra. If that is true then we are seeing the birth of Vedanta and Tantra both in the earliest lyrics of humanity. Along with yoga, jnana and Bhakti in an early form. This is quite mind boggling. This is a very refined spirituality that we can learn from even today

There is an inner strength, wisdom and divine potential in every human being that may remain hidden beneath fear, doubt, habits and the limitations of our ordinary consciousness. We are like a vessel carrying a hidden spark—a divine possibility waiting to be discovered and awakened.
The message is not that we must become something we are not. Rather, it is an invitation to discover what is already within us. When we turn inward, cultivate awareness and live with courage and purpose, that imprisoned spark can begin to shine through our thoughts, actions and life. Do not judge your potential by your present limitations. There is more in you than you know.

The Things We Understand Too Late
by Ashish Singh countercurrents.org/2026/08/the-th…
Regret often comes not when we make a mistake, but much later, when the opportunity to make things right has passed. Ashish Singh reflects on the ordinary choices, postponed conversations, neglected relationships and compromises that acquire significance only with time. The article considers the different forms regret can take: hurting people, abandoning personal aspirations, seeking approval at the cost of self-respect, and repeatedly choosing “later” until it becomes a way of life. Yet reflection need not mean remaining trapped in the past. Regret can also clarify what matters, helping us pay attention to the people, choices and parts of ourselves still within reach.

We have romanticised poverty for too long, creating a cultural habit of turning deprivation into virtue and wealth into suspicion. My latest essay on the moral halo of poverty: sarngarava.substack.com/p/the-moral-ha…
[There is an older and sharper language for this too: ressentiment. Nietzsche, and later Max Scheler, used the concept to describe a psychological process in which frustration or powerlessness is converted into a reversal of values. Things associated with those one resents are declared morally inferior, while one’s own condition is elevated into virtue. The point is not that every poor person’s values are produced this way. The point is that “I do not possess what you possess, therefore what you possess must be morally corrupting” is a recognisable form of moral inversion.]
