This is hidden brain.
Im Shankar Vedanta.
The english poet William Wordsworth once wrote that the world is too much with us.
He penned those words in 1807, a time of growing industrialization in his country.
William Wordsworth felt that people were becoming detached from nature and were too absorbed in, as he put it, getting and spending.
His critique still rings true.
We are surrounded today by more people connected to more devices and travel more often and widely.
From time to time, of course, we stop.
We take a hike in the mountains or spend an afternoon reading a book.
We are transformed by a lovely piece of music or sit by a window listening to the rain.
These moments rejuvenate us.
We tell ourselves, I should do this more often, and then we don't.
That's because the world constantly tells us that William Wordsworth was wrong, that getting and spending is the good life.
We should reach for that next ring.
Work that third job.
Go to that boisterous party after a long day at work.
Work hard, play hard.
You only live once, right?
Movies and tv shows depict people who sit on the sidelines, who consciously step away from the crowds as standoffish and strange.
That figure sitting by a rain spattered window?
