Drishti srishti vada

March 14, 2026

To finish - after what felt like an endless eternity of grappling with the intricacies of Drishti Srishti Vada, a term often employed by Shri Ramana, clarity finally dawned, dispelling the long-held confusion.

Drishti Srishti Vada suggests the world we perceive is a mental construct, lacking inherent objective reality, a concept intellectually grasped by many, yet fully internalized by few. For me, navigating the disturbances of this perceived reality necessitates ongoing inner work, cultivating empathic emotional intelligence and actively pursuing selfless service. Ethical considerations become paramount; our actions should minimize harm, guiding us towards choices like plant-based diets and sustainable practices, aligning our behaviour with awareness and compassion. Despite the inherent challenges, the daily practice of compassion remains vital. If we can thrive without inflicting harm, embracing such a path wholeheartedly becomes not just a choice, but a moral imperative, a testament to our understanding of the interconnectedness of all things.
