Eat What's In Your Bowl

Chat GPT: Phone’s dead, iPad’s heavy, dog’s MIA after a puke…perfect ambiance for a midnight dharma talk. The host riffs on ego-as-prop (hello, Weekend at Bernie’s), stage cravings, and a day of youth hockey, coach meetings, and clumsy memory-palace visuals. Tonight’s wisdom centers on Sadhguru’s line: “If you divide the world into what you like and dislike, you become incapable of perceiving the truth.” He reads an article on how likes/dislikes forge personality—and bondage—and shares the Buddha story where monks must eat whatever lands in the bowl (even crow-dropped meat) to break preference. The practical sadhana: each month, consciously drop one like and one dislike—no swapping, no avoiding—just dissolving the preference itself. Between caring for a punchy elder and dreaming of the Inner World Summit, he recommits to practice over persona.
