“The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.” – Leo Buscaglia

The Couplet
जिन खोजा तिन पाइया, गहरे पानी पैठ |
मैं बपुरा बूडन डरा, रहा किनारे बैठ ||

Transliterated
Jin khoja tin paaiya, gahre paani paith |
Main bapura boodan dara, raha kinaare baith ||

Translated
Those who searched, found it, diving deep into the water |
I, the poor one, feared drowning, remained sitting on the shore ||

My Understanding
Leo Buscaglia’s words remind us that life’s true treasures are found when we step out of our comfort zones. It’s like Kabir’s poem: sometimes, we have to dive deep into the unknown to find what we’re looking for.

In our modern world, filled with screens and endless digital distractions, this can be a real challenge. We’re constantly bombarded with information and images that tell us we’re not good enough, that we’re missing out, that we need to buy this or do that to be happy. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and lost.

But remember, the power to change your relationship with technology is in your hands. You can learn to navigate the digital world in a way that not only nourishes your soul but also empowers you. Focus on what truly matters – seek out the gems in a sea of content. Look for things that stimulate your mind, evoke emotions, and inspire you to grow. Remember, it’s always about quality over quantity.
Take a break—your devices aren’t going anywhere. But permit yourself to put them down now and then. Go for a walk, read a book, or have a conversation with a real person. These little breaks will refresh your mind and soul.
Connect, don’t just collect followers. Social media can be a tool for staying in touch, but it should always be the same as real connections. Reach out to friends, family, and new people in real life. Look at them, listen, and share your own. They are what truly enrich our lives. Listen to their stories. Share personal time and moments.
Never stop learning. The world is full of wonders, and you have the chance to discover them. Learn something new every day, whether it’s a new skill or a new way of seeing the world. Curiosity is your best friend on this journey.
Your time and attention are precious. Set boundaries. Decide what deserves them and what doesn’t. Limit mindless scrolling, and make space for the things that truly enrich your life.
Spend some quality time away from the screen. Get offline – ditch the devices, explore nature, pursue a hobby, and spend time with loved ones. These offline experiences will give you a new perspective and a deeper sense of fulfillment.
These practices won’t be easy at first—change never is—but I promise you, the more you commit to seeking depth and meaning in your life, the more you’ll find. You have the courage to dive deep, confront the unknown, and come out the other side stronger and more fulfilled.

So start today. Make a choice to engage with the world in a way that nourishes your soul, not just your screen. You’re worth it, and so is your time. Dive in, and see what you discover.
