Chetasyog Across Generations: A Journey of Whole Oneself Well-being.
Imagine life as a river 🌊.
Sometimes the river flows smoothly, nourishing everything.
Sometimes it overflows with chaos or dries up with emptiness.
In the same way, our life flows between two forces:
- Being-life (IS) 🌌 → the infinite cosmic source, like the ocean.
- Being-self (ME) 🪞 → our individual existence of mind, body, and emotions, like a small stream branching out.
When these two waters merge harmoniously, the river of life becomes whole and fulfilling. This is the path of Chetasyog — mindful awareness of the synergy between IS and ME.
But what does this really mean for different generations — Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and Alpha? Let’s step into their shoes 👣 and see the difference without and with Chetasyog.
