Weekly courses.
In the realm of spirituality transcending and training the mind are the two fundamental goals. Weekly courses are the way to train the mind.
In the realm of the social there are these deep samskaras of competition and acceptance. Every inch of me knows this is the trap but the habit is such that I keep doing it anyway and suffering because of it.
So much I pretend so people praise me, the small deflections to look good. It actually promotes this spirit of competition. Mind become agitated because it wants the praise and it is getting not so much.
