Overcoming the World by Kapil Gupta

Don’t Change the World, Transcend It

The world is not accommodating to those who seek to change it. For it is tied to its own self-serving nature. And to the concepts and dogmas it lives by. The world is not a thing to be changed. A circle will always be a circus. (Page 24)

Help Is Helper's Need

Aside from basic worldly needs, the human is not a helpable creature. He is too conditioned to be helped. He is too brainwashed to be helped. Help is more a desire of the helper, than of the helper. (Page 26)

There Is No Map to Mastery

Does reading a biography of Jesus make one into a Jesus? Did Buddha read the four noble truths and the eightfold path in order to become a Buddha? Then why should any human? (Page 50)

True Value Needs No Marketing

If the world is trying to get one to do something or buy something, it is a scam. Why would anyone need another human to do something or buy something? (Page 61)

Learn

Truth lies in learning the way things work. Not in what and what not to do. (Page 73)

Watch Your Reality

If a human placed video cameras in every corner of his house, then watched the footage on a weekly basis, nothing more would need to be said. He would not need to read anything, or hear anything, or listen to anything or anyone. It would all be there plain to see. (Page 63)

Cleanse, Don't Change

To overcome the world is not to change the world. To overcome the world is to cleanse oneself of the world. The world is a place of half-truths and outright lies. (Page 79)

The World Is An Illusion

The world is a place of illusions and fabricated concepts. The world is a place of brainwashing and conditioning. To overcome the world is to realize within one's being that this is what the world is. And that this is all it can ever be. (Page 79)

Be Free Of It

To overcome the world is to become free of the world. Free of false notions and concepts. Free of a life attempting to live up to external ideals. Free of the need for validation from the people of the world. To overcome the world is to find freedom. (Page 79)

True Value Is Silent

If the thing was truly great, then the one who is peddling it would save it for himself. And if he wished to make it available to the people of the world, then he would do so... He would only have a need if the thing did not give him what he himself needed. (Page 61)
