There is only one thing that matters, working your way through your mind. moment by moment. Everything else is a supporting act.
For the next one year I will do vipassana once or twice a month every month. I will read and watch and work through everything in my mind.
I will work on technology to master it till the point where I am one of the best in the field. and by teaching and working I will make 6lakh a year and live within 5.5lakh a year.
About the place first.
Anywhere I live it cost me 12-15K. and generally there is struggle for kitchen. and it helps to have the fully furnished place. Here it cost me 17K + internet. and general privacy. And then there is a brokage and all.
There is additional cost of 1.6lakh as a security deposit. This is somewhat problem, there is a good chance they might cut 10-20K. This is also more . pyschological.
There is two options either live without a place, or have a place and continue the journey.
There is nothing locking in this, only psychological pressure of 1.6lakh.
and this will give you a strong foundation.
The mastery of the mind.
Earning 6Lakh/year -
Working -
The first option is full stack javascript engineer. This week I will explore my options as full stack javascript engineer.
If I can earn 6lakh/year I am in self sustainable mode and I can continue practice until I am done.
How can I make 6lakh/year and move in a positive direction. You best bet is to do freelance work as a full stack software engineer. This way you are growing yourself and you can make enough money.
The second option seems to be training. I can engage with mountblue, or I can also engage with synechron. If you work 2-3 months fulltime, You can take training classes. You can build small service or product. It is also possible to engage fulltime after practicing for an year.
It can also be possible to work fulltime for 3months and earn maybe 10lakh and then go off for next one year.
Ideally I should be very good in full stack programming and then I can work on a platform like toptal. Do some project and then continue your practice. this way you can keep upgrading yourself and you can...
The starting point will be to do your practice most sincerely everyday morning and evening. See what you learn about mind everyday based on your experience, how can you work with what you learn today.
Go through the untethered soul and the voice of the knowledge. See what they are saying and learn through it.
You need to start writing what you know for sure and how you are planning to move forward from here.
You need to constantly engage in life moment by moment with better experiential understanding.
Only way out is to work through your own experiences. Logically thinking can help. constant practice.
Ultimately you need to work with reality.
Vipassana can be an integral part. I can do atleast one session per month. mostly serving, even more.
There are people who transcended this, micheal singher and don megiuel but also tenzin palmo. You can constantly listen to them and practice based on their knowledge and understanding.
Also things like bhagwat gita and astavakra, thinking fast and slow, throtal all other knowledge.
What you need is basically a starting point. and then move forward with it.
Mountblue -
Master the mind.
Support yourself.
There are only two things I will focus on and I will give myself to it. One is consistent Vipassana practice and the second is supporting my practice.
To support my practice I need to earn enough money that I can spend 90%. and live at ease which will be if I grossly estimate something around 6 lakh per year. you can do a project or you can teach or you can work at Mountblue. but I need to make 6lakh/year. and then I wanna devote all my time to self mastery with very strong morning to night routiene
The best way for me to earn this amount of money is to work as freelance web developer or trainer. I will have to figure this out in next two months.
The question is how can I earn this amount is shortest time with meaningful effort without throttling the progress in self mastery.
Yesterday konark said, You should write it, what went wrong. He said it playfully, but I kind of took it personally. I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about it.
What went wrong? The problem is Vishvjeet, Venktesh, Mayank came back. Mayank I don’t even want to talk to. Farhin has a problem and bharath had a communication break down.
So visvjeet and Mayank should have gotten repremants and probably should have thrown out of the batch.
So I clearly kept the bar low.
Second is I taught them things that may not be the directly using at all. It would have been better to teach them about debugging than prototype and all.
Then I didn’t do much of the reviews.
Then my motive was mainly around learning myself. Not teaching them.
Then when it is first time you are pretty much guaranteed to fail.
What really hurt was the mistake I made was on the price of konark money and the...
