The spiritual path, a thread:

 The spiritual path is not for the faint of heart.

It is both the toughest of life’s paths and the most rewarding.

All journeys are unique.

But all lead to the same place: total love and oneness.
The path requires alignment of mind, body, and spirit.

All are a part of You.

One without the other leads to imbalance.

Recognize and nurture all aspects of You.

I’ll show you how.
1/ Mind

Your mind is trying to process all available information to protect you.

The problem: it gets tripped up.

We live in a world of constant fear-based stimulation.

Most of modern society is designed to feed and profit off of your mind.
1.1/ Pause your mind

This is effectively what meditation is and why it’s so powerful.

Some meditators use a mantra so as to have one repetitive thing to repeat.

This helps unwind cyclical thoughts.

It breaks the mind free from it’s shackles.

It stops the churn.
1.2/ Nourish your mind

Expand your knowledge (nonfiction)

Acquire wisdom (spiritual texts)

Learn new skills (music, sports, etc)

Gain exposure (documentaries)

All help strengthen and expand the mind.
1.3/ Be careful what you feed your mind

Your mind is not impenetrable; it’s just as vulnerable as your body and spirit.

Don’t feed your mind junk food e.g. drama series’s, mindless videos…

Anything that keeps you caught in a loop is designed to consume you.

Don’t let it!
2/ Body

Our bodies are not just sacks of meat and bones.

They’re hyper intelligent and have more going on than we can imagine.

One might argue that most trauma in the body is of direct relation to the mind and spirit.

It is our physical manifestation of our spiritual state.
2.1/ Focus on flexibility

Yoga has been around for thousands of years.

Why has it stood the test of time?

Because of its power.

Yoga will unlock your body, which unlocks your mind and spirit.

A flexible body means flexible thoughts.
2.2/ Do not poison your body

Alcohol, drugs, caffeine, pesticides.

To the body, all are toxic.

We have somehow decided that they are “ok” and normal.

I’m not sure who decided that, but count me out.
2.3/ You are what you eat

Your body wants nutrients from nature.

As fresh as possible with as few chemicals as possible.

Plants are great.

And, meat? Ask:

Are you eating an animal that bathed in fear and chemicals its whole life?

Or one that was healthy and happy?
3/ Spirit

This concept may sound unfamiliar.

Because for much of society, it is.

Since we were kids, we were told to repress our spirit and rely on the mind.

Spirit is your intuitions, feelings, emotions.

It’s your heart.
3.1/ Feed your spirit

Just like your body and mind, the spirit needs to be fed!

When’s the last time you blasted music?

Danced in the rain?

Acted silly and ridiculous?

All these things feed your spirit, keeping it alive and healthy.
3.2/ Heal your spirit

Repressed trauma is something we all have.

Keeping it repressed eats us on the inside.

Getting it out heals.

Meditative writing, therapy, counseling…

All help heal.
3.3/ Listen to your inner spirit

Your gut is your guide.

If something feels off, don’t ignore that feeling.

Figure out why.

To build your relationship with your spirit, start listening to it.

The more you practice, the clearer it will start communicating.
And that’s it!

The spiritual path is both unbelievably challenging.

And unbelievably simple.

It has been a secret weapon in building incredible companies.

And now I’m thrilled to share it with you all.
If you enjoyed this, give me a follow.

I am 27 and have build multiple unicorn companies.

My mission in life is to fix corporate culture and get the world dancing.

I tweet about the intersection of inner and outer work.

What to look for in a cofounder:

Oh boy, this is a big one!

Why?

The #1 cause of death in startups is 🥁🥁

Co-founder issues!

Who you pick as co-founder is perhaps THE most important decision you’ll make.

I have a TON of advice on the topic, so let’s dive in 👇

The MOST important thing to know:

Your cofounder must fit in the overlap of TWO venn diagrams:

1/ Personality fit

2/ Ability to execute

A pitfall founders make: choosing ONLY ONE.

Why?

> Choose personality fit w/out ability to execute, and there will be an inevitable reckoning when one cofounder feels they are contributing disproportionately.

> Choose ability to execute w/out personality fit, and the relationship strain grows until it becomes paralyzing.

Someone worthy of a cofounder title must be a unicorn 🦄

ie. they must have both!

Having both results in a DEEP MUTUAL RESPECT amongst each other.

And of course, there are some nuances to both of these venn diagrams.

Let’s double click on each one:

10 sales tactics that work:

1/ Stage out the conversation

One conversation is just that: another conversation.

Land a second, and now you’re being “evaluated”.

Don’t try to jam through everything in the first convo.

Do just enough to pique their interest and land that second meeting.

2/ Do your homework

If you’re pitching a customer, use their product,

Read about the company and the person you’re talking to.

Ultimately, this proves that you will do the work to make their lives easier.

It’s so powerful yet so easily overlooked.

3/ Ask about the decision making process

Who is required to make a decision like this?

What would you need to see from me to be able to buy?

How long will it take to make a decision?

These questions give you the roadmap on how to close the deal.

4/ Don’t always demo

Sometimes it’s habit to jump straight into a demo.

If someone wants to talk first, do that.

This could consume a whole first conversation.

Which gives you a great excuse for that second meeting: going thru the demo.

Over the last 7 years I’ve built 2 multi-billion dollar companies.

It’s been grueling. We don’t share these lessons enough.

So I decided to do that over the last month.

The feedback has been awesome - 25k new followers in 1 month.

Here’s a roundup of all of the threads 👇

How to build a sales team:

To start, a note of credit to the great Jim Herbold from Box.

He was my hands-on mentor for many years. Bolt sales would not exist without him.

Much of this is learned wisdom from him.

Ok, here we go 👇

1/ Close the first deals yourself, end-to-end

It’s impossible to now how to construct a sales team without first knowing how to conduct a sale.

Some founders try to hire before this step.

Doing so is skipping a crucial step of getting intimate with your product and customers.

2/ Document the learnings

At Bolt we wrote a 50+ page sales playbook which included
- Email scripts
- Cold call scripts
- FAQ and Rebuttals
- Negotiating tactics
- Closing tactics

With this handy, new salespeople ramp 3X-5X faster.

3/ When ready, always hire in pairs

If you hire just one salesperson and they can’t sell your product, you’re in trouble.

Why?

You don’t know if the problem is the person or the product!

Hire two, and you have a point of comparison.

Over the last 72 hrs, countless founders reached out in private to thank me for standing up.

My realization: VCs don’t just dominate the capital, they also dominate Twitter.

We need to balance the scales.

For founders, here’s how I’ve grown my Twitter with minimal time 👇👇👇

Before I dive in… I’m challenging myself!

I started writing this at 8p ET on the DOT.

Let’s see how fast I can get it out.

Here we go 👇

Filling the queue 📜

I use Buffer (.com) to queue up tweets.

For 2-3 hours at the beginning of each month, I meditate and fill it up 🧘

My focus: business insights and wisdom.

Once you get flowing, it keeps on flowing.

Packing the punch 👊

Some people think Twitter is for 280 characters.

I’ve found the opposite to be true: it’s the most effective long-form platform on the planet.

Instead of a single blog post, each section is its own tweet and can be shared.

Maximum momentum!

I try to do long form 1-3 times per week.

I find that if I’m in a meditated state and have picked a good topic, the words just flow out.

These “tweet storms” take about 1-2 hours to get out.

PRO TIP: keep a "list of topics" and any time you think of one, write it down.

It took me 4 months to finish reading Bhagawad Gita but you can learn all of it in 2 mins.

Here are the chapter-wise takeaways:

Chapter 1: Negative mindset is the problem.

Arjuna was overpowered by his attachment to his kith and kin. The problem was his wrong thinking and he ended up making false judgements.

Chapter 2: Right knowledge is the solution to most of our problems

Arjuna surrenders to Krishna after he realised that all of his problems were due to ignorance and that the right knowledge can solve all of his problems.

Chapter 3: Selflessness is the only key to progress

Karmayoga is a selfless service. A karma yogi is someone who is not concerned about the result and is free from the attachments of the world.

Chapter 4: Every act can be made an act of prayer

A person who follows a lord and his teachings become liberated.

10 common errors in reasoning that undermine arguments:

Ad Hominem

Latin phrase for "to the person”—an attack of the individual rather than the argument.

Instead of addressing the argument and its merits, the offender attempts to refute the opposition on the basis of personal characteristics.

All-too-common in political debates.

The Sharpshooter

A man fires a gun at a barn wall and then paints a target around the tightest cluster of bullet holes to create the appearance of accuracy.

The offender selects and highlights evidence that supports the conclusion—while ignoring evidence that may refute it.

The Sunk Cost Fallacy

Sunk costs are economic costs already invested in an activity that cannot be recovered.

The fallacy is found in thinking that you should continue on the basis of all that you've put in—with no regard for future costs or likelihood of ultimate success.

The Red Herring

The kippered herring was a smelly fish used to distract hunting dogs while training them to focus on a scent.

"Red herring" is now synonymous with distraction.

The offender distracts from the argument with a seemingly related—but actually unrelated—point.

10 fascinating traits of highly-successful people:

1) Enjoy Being Wrong: The most successful people legitimately enjoy being wrong. They’ve learned to embrace new information that forces you to change your viewpoint—these "software updates" improve upon the old.

(read on)

2) Work in Sprints: Parkinson's Law says that work expands to fill the time available for its completion. Winners typically work like lions instead—sprint, rest, repeat.

3) Antifragile: Life is chaotic. The best aren't broken by the chaos—they build structure to benefit from it.

4) Paranoia: Highly-successful people share a surprising fear that all of the success is suddenly going to disappear. It creates a drive for continued growth.

5) Self-Awareness: The most successful people are hyper self-aware. They know their unique edge (and their weaknesses).

6) Compartmentalization: An uncanny ability to compartmentalize. They turn off outside stressors and focus exclusively on the task at hand.

7) Focus on Questions, Not Answers: They ask great questions. It allows them to aggregate insights more effectively.

8) Expert Advice Filters: Winners have learned how to filter and selectively implement advice—take the signal, skip the noise.

9) Impatient Long-Term Thinkers: Long-term thinking plus short-term impatience for action is the recipe for success.

#தினம்_ஒரு_திருவாசகம்
தொல்லை இரும்பிறவிச் சூழும் தளை நீக்கி
அல்லல் அறுத்து ஆனந்தம் ஆக்கியதே – எல்லை
மருவா நெறியளிக்கும் வாதவூர் எங்கோன்
திருவாசகம் என்னும் தேன்

பொருள்:
1.எப்போது ஆரம்பித்தது என அறியப்படமுடியாத தொலை காலமாக (தொல்லை)

2. இருந்து வரும் (இரும்)


3.பிறவிப் பயணத்திலே ஆழ்த்துகின்ற (பிறவி சூழும்)

4.அறியாமையாகிய இடரை (தளை)

5.அகற்றி (நீக்கி),

6.அதன் விளைவால் சுகதுக்கமெனும் துயரங்கள் விலக (அல்லல் அறுத்து),

7.முழுநிறைவாய்த் தன்னுளே இறைவனை உணர்த்துவதே (ஆனந்த மாக்கியதே),

8.பிறந்து இறக்கும் காலவெளிகளில் (எல்லை)

9.பிணைக்காமல் (மருவா)

10.காக்கும் மெய்யறிவினைத் தருகின்ற (நெறியளிக்கும்),

11.என் தலைவனான மாணிக்க வாசகரின் (வாதவூரெங்கோன்)

12.திருவாசகம் எனும் தேன் (திருவா சகமென்னுந் தேன்)

முதல்வரி: பிறவி என்பது முன்வினை விதையால் முளைப்பதோர் பெருமரம். அந்த ‘முன்வினை’ எங்கு ஆரம்பித்தது எனச் சொல்ல இயலாது. ஆனால் ‘அறியாமை’ ஒன்றே ஆசைக்கும்,, அச்சத்துக்கும் காரணம் என்பதால், அவையே வினைகளை விளைவிப்பன என்பதால், தொடர்ந்து வரும் பிறவிகளுக்கு, ‘அறியாமையே’ காரணம்

அறியாமைக்கு ஆரம்பம் கிடையாது. நமக்கு ஒரு பொருளைப் பற்றிய அறிவு எப்போதிருந்து இல்லை? அதைச் சொல்ல முடியாது. அதனாலேதான் முதலடியில், ஆரம்பமில்லாத அஞ்ஞானத்தை பிறவிகளுக்குக் காரணமாகச் சொல்லியது. ஆனால் அறியாமை, அறிவின் எழுச்சியால், அப்போதே முடிந்து விடும்.

Rani Chennamma of Kittur was one of the first women rulers of India who fought against the might of the British Empire in 1824. Rani Chennamma was born in 1778 in a small village of Kakati in Belgaon distt of the State of Karnataka.


She was born into the Lingayat Community to a man named Dhulappa Desai. From a very young age she was trained in horse riding,sword fighting, archery and diplomacy. At a very young age of 15 yrs, she was married to the King of Kittur and became the Queen of Kittur.


It is said that King of Kittur Mallasarja was once moving around in the neighbouring kingdoms to find support to fight Tipu Sultan. It is then, when he came across Chennamma and he immediately got attracted to her sheer confidence and bravery.

Rani Chennamma and King Mallasarja had a son together who died very soon after the death of King Mallasarja in 1816. As the Queen of Kittur, Rani Chennamma immediately adopted Shivalingappa as her son and declared him the heir to the throne of Kittur.

This did not go well with the British East India Company who was enforcing the Doctrine of Lapse those days, according to which the adopted children of the Indian rulers were not allowed to become their heirs and if the native rulers did not have children of their own, their...

THE SCIENCE BEHIND YAJNA

Fire is, of course, one of the greatest discovery of mankind. Our control over the fire dramatically changed the entire human habits; earlier it was used to cook food, protection from animals and to stay warm.


Among the many applications of fire, one is Yajna (यज्ञ, yajña); also called as Havana (हवन) or Agnihotra (अग्निहोत्र).
Yajna is elaborately described in Yajurveda. In Yajurveda, Yajna is the greatest among all works (Karman). One can purify his /her soul by performing Yajna.

In Vedic culture, it is thought that the holy fire is the mediator between Gods and us; when the offerings are made to Yajna with chanting mantras, it directly reaches the Gods, who bless the people with rains, food, health, and good luck.

According to Apastamba Sutra, the definition of Yajna is Vedic sacrifice; an act by which we surrender something for gods e.g. grains (Anna), pulse, milk and milk product (ghee, butter, curd) fruits, plant juice (soma), etc.

As we said; Yajna is the contact medium for gods and

to seek their blessings.

There are many types of Yajna performed by Hindus for e.g.,

1. Rajsuya Yajna
2. Ashwamedha Yajna
3. Chaaturmasya Yajna
4. Vaajpey Yajna
5. Purushmedha Yajna
6. Sarvamedha Yajna
