Like The Still Hub Of A Spinning Wheel
Sometimes, staying detached is the solution to life's difficult moments. And it can help with not taking others' criticisms personally. Remember, their criticism and harsh words are a reflection of their views and how they are as a person-- and it had nothing to do with you, in most cases. Learn to let go of others' rude comments, and this will save you your mental peace which is more important. The Bhagwad Gita says, "Just as a lamp's flame remains still and unwavering in the absence of wind, so is a yogi's mind fixed on the object of meditation who is united with the Self." In other words, when senses are fully controlled and turned inwards, the mind becomes calm and still, just as the Sun is visible in a tranquil, motionless lake. But when the mind is full of desires and distractions, it is restless and shaky, like a flickering lamp in the wind. We live in a world of movement, sound, form, emotion, and ambition. The mind runs like a chariot led by untamed horses, pulled in every direction. But we need not condemn this mind; rather, understand it, still its restlessness, and transform it into a vessel of Divine awareness. Sit quietly. Let your spine be straight, breathe gently, with your gaze turned inward. The hands rested in chinmudra or jananamudra, symbolic of the union of the individual soul with the universal truth. Let pran settle like the Ganga returning to calm after a storm. Watch, and you will see thoughts emerge and dissolve like waves upon water. Some bring joy, others sorrow, but all pass. And yet, behind all of them, something constant remains: the Witness, Self, Atman. In this state of inner witnessing, you are no longer entangled. You see the mind as it is a tool, not a tyrant. The senses may call you outward, but you no longer leap in response. You remain centred, like the still hub of a spinning wheel. As you inhale and exhale gently, watch the movement of your inner world. Thoughts will rise with memories, plans, and stray feelings. The mind will distract from it; it is natural and born to be in motion. Observe without judgement. Remain the witness, and slowly, your identification with the noise begins to loosen. Life continues to test us with harsh words, insults, and sudden losses. But instead of reacting, pause. Train your mind to respond not from emotion, but from a place of dharm, what is right and not from impulse. Responding with calm clarity is not a weakness; it is a strength. Like a skilled archer who waits for the wind to still before releasing the arrow, the wise wait for their mind to settle before taking action. Let emotions rise, but don't be swept away. Watch them, and then choose your response not from ego or hurt, but from your more profound sense of what is right, your dharm. The Gita says, "Karmanye vadhikaraste, ma phalesu kadachana", you have the right to perform your duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Focus on the action itself rather than the outcome, not becoming attached to results. This is the essence of Karm yog , action born from clarity, not compulsion. The wise one does not seek to escape the world but to elevate it through mindful presence. Silence is not withdrawal, but alignment. Detachment is not denial, but purity of intention. The soul is not void, but a spark of Brahmn, infinite and complete. Practice quieting the mind each day through meditation, not just in silence, but also in the midst of the world's bustle. Whether speaking to a friend, facing criticism, or choosing your daily duties, remain rooted. This is abhyas, practice, combined with vairagya, detachment, twin wings of yog.

Cabinet approves ₹1 lakh crore corpus for galvanising private investment in R&D
The Union Cabinet on Tuesday approved a ₹1-lakh crore Research Development and Innovation (RDI) scheme that aims to incentivise the private sector to invest in basic research that would translate into innovative products and technologies. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman first announced the creation of such a fund in her interim Budget speech of 2024. A horizon for the fund has not been specified. However, the Ministry of Science and Technology, which is to be administratively in charge of the corpus, had an additional ₹20,000 crore allotment in its Budgetary allocation for the 2025-26 financial year, officials had told The Hindu earlier this year, was intended for the RDI scheme. The larger aim is to have India, like advanced technological countries, have private sector chip in more than government to fund basic research. The RDI Scheme will have a two-tiered funding mechanism, the Science Ministry said in a press statement. 'At the first level, there will be a Special Purpose Fund (SPF) established within the ANRF, which will act as the custodian of funds. From the SPF, funds shall be allocated to a variety of second level fund managers. This will be mainly in the form of long-term concessional loans. The funding to R&D projects by the second level fund managers would normally be in the form of long-term loan at low or nil interest rates. Financing in the form of equity may also be done, especially in case of start-ups. Contribution to Deep-Tech Fund of Funds (FoF) or any other FoF meant for RDI may also be considered,' the statement noted. Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) was conceived as an independent institutional body overseen by the science ministry to allocate funds for basic research and to incentivise private sector participation in core research. The scheme has been designed to overcome the constraints and challenges in funding of private sector and seeks to provide growth and risk capital to sunrise and strategic sectors to facilitate innovation, promote adoption of technology and enhance competitiveness, the statement added. Funds, however, would be provided only for products that had reached a certain level of development and market potential. 'TRL-4 [Technological Readiness Level -4] projects, which usually face the highest risk for want of financial support would be considered,' Minister for Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw said at a Union Cabinet press briefing. He did not explain how many levels of TRL existed. The broad domains where investments would be encouraged include: Energy security and transition, and climate action; deep tech, including quantum computing, robotics, and space; artificial intelligence and its application to India-specific challenges in agriculture, health, and education; biotechnology, biomanufacturing, synthetic biology, pharma, and medical devices; digital economy including digital agriculture; technologies required for strategic reasons, economic security, self-reliance (Atmanirbhar), or public interest, Mr. Vaishnaw noted.
