Thinking of going green ? 
here is a breakdown. 
Batteries do not produce electricity – they store electricity produced elsewhere, primarily by coal,gas, nuclear or diesel-fueled generators.
So, to say an Electric Vehicle is a zero-emission vehicle is not at all valid. Most of the EVs on the road use electricity generated from fossil fuel-fired plants
It takes the same amount of energy to move a fossil fuel driven automobile for a distance as it does an electric one with the same weight. The only question again is what produces the power ?

Sankhya philosophy says there are two primeval entities — Prakruti & Purusha. The material that make up the visible universe is Prakruti, and the consciousness that makes up the world visible is Purusha. [1/6] Two forces have control over these two entities — Gravity influences Prakruti & Karma influences Purusha. 
The water you drink, the air you breathe, the food you eat all part of  Prakruti. 
The one who breathes, drinks and eats is Purusha.

Bhaja Govindam — is about waking up to our own infinite potential. 

Because more often we are lost on the surface of life that we miss out on its very essence.

Follow this 🧵.. Let’s do some भज गोविन्दम् ॥ 😀

The central theme of भजगोविन्दं is just this — Seek that higher self. Do not get distracted by trivial attractions of the world — those wont stand by you while you face the greater challenges of life, death.

The air is getting cleaner, less pollutants are entering the sea, streets are less noisy. Families spending more time together, less planes flying around the globe

ENJOY THE BURN

Engaging in something is a commitment to changing ourselves, to burn our habitual patterns in order to allow our deepest, finest selves to fully unfold and express itself. That each of us have the potential in this life(time) to change deeply is a precious gift. Don’t allow anything or anyone to take that away from you.

The Re-Creation of Adam

Adam lazily stretches out his limp left hand towards what appears to be God – Michelangelo featured God as an elderly bearded man floating., as if in motion, amid a cluster of angels. There’s God extending his right hand towards Adam in an attempt to discharge the spark of divine wisdom.

Leaving this sketch intentionally unfinished., as a reminder, that creation is incomplete in the absence of the awareness of its infinite potential. Unfinished without the consciousness of what it can be

Beyond the Veil - The #Ayyappan Sankalpa — A Long Thread ! The #SabarimalaTemple is many centuries-old and hosts an ancient deity, Sastha — #Ayyappan the main Vigraha (idol) of the temple, the deity is worshipped in the form of a Naishtika Brahmachari

Shapes happen when shades fills up spaces between lines. Shape is an area defined by an outline. Shape is the foundation of form. Form is nothing but shape with dimension. Dimension gets created with the addition of shade transitions within the shape.

1/ We get to know ourselves through our work — by our work we create our self-portraits, that is how we define who we are in the eyes of the world — Marx 2/ The manner in which we combine preferences to extrapolate personal values constitutes our personality - a search for meaning arises from our need to define who we are.

Separation of motion & computation - a self recursive paradox !

If nature is only in the material mechanisms that can be measured, then where is the necessary computation done to make such a mechanism work ? If natural laws & the computational mechanism that computes these laws are not two separate mechanisms - then everything in this universe, can be described as a self-computing machine.

All knowledge reveals itself as a bundle of illusions - A THREAD! Knowledge presupposes the requirement of a subject and an object, the two thoughts "I" and "another."

Learning from The Vitruvian Man - A THREAD!

This painting is an amateur adaptation of what was originally a pen & ink drawing by Leonardo da Vinci, depicting a man fitting his body into a circle and a square by adjusting the position of his arms and legs, Probably the most famous drawing in the world – judging by the fact that we get to see it in ads and worked into logos for holistic health centers et al.

It isn’t the load that breaks you, but the way you carry it - A THREAD Even when you do something trivial, like trying to lift something off the floor, make sure to rehearse it in your mind first. Why ?

A picture of a persistent illusion & the concept of fear - A thread ! In wealth is a fear of poverty, in knowledge a fear of ignorance, in beauty a fear of age, in fame a fear of infamy, in success a fear of envy, in life is the lurking fear of death.
