A Chat with Amar B Singh whose writing reflects the ancient wisdom of Vedanta and other great epics
Hello everyone. This is Miragopal Gopalakrishnan. And once again, I am back with a new interview. This time, the guest for my swell cast is Mr. Amarbiz Singh who is an engineer, a management graduate and also a lawyer. But what is more interesting about him is that he loves to dabble in our ancient wisdom and culture. He is greatly influenced by vedanta ethics like Ramana and Mahabharata. And he wants to mix the ancient wisdom and the culture to suit the modern day

I started writing a lot more poetry, some detailed diaries in the sense of emotional outbursts I used to have at school with friends and so on. So they become stories and so on. And I used to love reading my own diaries after a gap of some months and so on. And I saw how stories developed, the habit carried on into college, engineering college
Even I have followed that only, and I think a lot of people I interview, I do one interview per week once. Well, quite a lot of them reflects on this, that they had a career, they had a life before they start publishing. Because we all belong to that generation where we were asked to create a career first. And of course, most professors agreed to our parents and followed that path

There was only one chapter, basically, which was influenced by this, where I talked about the three Gunnars, or three, let's say, fighting energies, right? One being Satva, one being Rajas and Tamas. Basically Thomas is inertia Rajas is activity. And the third dimension, basically the Z axis, if you will, is Sattva. So one should have idly speaking. This is what Krishna explains in his talk to Arjuna in Bhagavad Gita
I'll tell that lines first in Tamil khanil nirambharkamudiya nirambhark ni parka mariya kohli siphodami ada kohil mukam devaya unaware the meaning of those lines is if you don't have eyes, you can't see the colors but the eye that sees the colors, you cannot see the eye. So what is it? Is what I shows you the truth or an illusion? Because we always say eye witness so what did I witness?

He saw my Narasima avatar yes, you can call this bias

Are you really wasting your time doing this or is there someone, some God listening to you? Right? This is a question every guy has in his or her mind and it needs answering. And therefore, what it evolves to is when people understand that no true faith can be without the first doubt, first hint of a doubt on what is it that we are doing. Is there an experience?

The scope is not there because you tend to say that beyond this science does not know. But where does that effort come from? Where does the scope expand unless there is some larger thought process which has been done in the millions of years by a lot of human beings to ensure that these areas can be further tested? And you see the evidence of that in science. You see someone kind of calling something a God particle, right?
And I would say to everybody who is listening also like, finally, the conclusion I have come in the belief of religion is that if you are an action, Krishna is the direction. I am a Krishna devouti. So it depends on which God you believe and why. It said that you need to take the direction of Krishna because the action you does is like a ripple in the universe

Yeah. Thanks, Mira. You summed it up well and yeah, meaning devotion. I heard one interpretation of devotion which is being devoid of yourself. Which is, we normally consider ourselves as our minds. As long as the mind is working and there is an eye separate from the God, right. Then you're not giving space to the god. It's said that God's voice is always there, but it's in the form of a whisper

This is the wisdom that thousands of years of human existence, thousands of years of experience have already given us. Why go against that? If it is in passion to just kind of discard everything our previous generations said, that is not the right thing to do. A person should see, perceive, and that perception should decide how to navigate through life. And that has been my point. That ancient wisdom kind of gives us a lot to think about. Make life easier, happier, blissful
Because free will is fine tiller point, but if it exceeds and go against the law of nature, then we are going for our own destruction. Destruction of humanity, destruction of human life. So it's a very insightful discussion. Thank you for being there. And my listeners, thank you for being there. And next week I will be back with another author with the news. Well cast till then, this is Mira signing off. Thank you
