I am in no right place to speak about this man, it is just that I can’t deny the impact that his writing, audios have made on me. He uncovered many missing points that I hadn’t really seen clearly for some things/ burdens in my life to fall away.

I have written in a previous post about this, the idea of prescriptions and how far it had taken root in my psyche. Just one read, one audio listen, all those chains unlocked.

I am a guy who was sold on nearly all ideas of society stemming from prescriptions and insincerity and disingenuousness all that. Spirituality, intellectualization, morality, patience, romanticized hard work , wrong and right , should and should nots , meditate , read tones and tones of books , have morning routine , 5 ways to be attractive to girls , how to quit this , how to achieve that , take cold showers , hacks , forcing myself to be against the grain , motivational speakers , don’t be in your comfort zone, eastern philosophy, cleverness , gurus, satsang….blah blah all of it.

This is all I have known. Listening and reading Kapil’s work gave me a whole other way of looking at things. New lenses that I have never seen anywhere. Everywhere is poisoned by this or the other. I have not found content served with his kind of purity. My way of looking is totally new. I can breath a sigh of relief. The amount of empty chases I have subscribed are too many to count. He said a true seeker of something has the tendency to exhaust everything in his search because he feels he has no choice. Just finding his work for me is an Arrival on its own.

I discovered Kapil through Naval. Before that I used to think that Naval is the clearest thinker I have ever come across. He still is but I think Kapil’s approach on a turbocharge, the approach of getting to the ultimate. His work has made me see the depth of my insincerity in most things in my life, how freely I am open to wasting time, how I am not aware of where I am going in life, the type of questions I ask, the chain reaction of event that entail my daily living, how I invite influences in my life, seeking to be mislead, how I am subscribed to totally false concepts, etc. many many things to reflect. I am glad I at least resonate with his content.

I want what he has! I want to see what he has seen!
