Discover the timeless wisdom of Sanatan Dharma on the immortality of the soul (Atma) and the Supreme (Paramatma), and why social media debates are an illusion distracting us from true inner peace.
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught in endless arguments on social media. Whether it’s political debates, religious disagreements, or fan wars over TV serials, people often waste hours defending their views. But the timeless wisdom of Sanatan Dharma offers a profound truth that can help us rise above this chaos: Even the most dangerous weapons cannot harm the Atma (individual soul) — so how can they ever touch Paramatma (Supreme Consciousness)?
The Eternal Nature of Atma
The Bhagavad Gita, a timeless guide for spiritual living, clearly says:
“The soul is neither born, nor does it die. It is not slain when the body is slain.” (BG 2.20)
No weapon, no argument, no external force can harm the Atma. You are not your social media profile, your opinions, or your reputation online. You are the eternal witness.
Beyond Atma: The Supreme Paramatma
If the individual Jivatma (soul) is beyond destruction, the Paramatma (Supreme Soul or Consciousness) is even beyond that comprehension. Paramatma is infinite, formless, and untouched by worldly illusions.
So, when people waste energy fighting over trivial matters, it is like waves fighting on the surface of an infinite, calm ocean. It simply doesn’t make sense.
The Illusion (Maya) of Online Arguments
Social media thrives on triggering our egos. Algorithms are designed to keep you engaged, often by making you angry or insecure. But Sanatan Dharma teaches us to transcend this illusion, or Maya.
By detaching from petty arguments and focusing on your inner growth, you become Yogi-like in your actions — calm, powerful, and centered.
Practical Tips to Practice Detachment Online:
- Pause Before Responding: Ask yourself, “Is this worth my energy?”
- Remember Your True Self: You are Atma, not your temporary online identity.
- Engage with Wisdom: Share knowledge that uplifts rather than provokes.
- Disconnect to Reconnect: Spend more time in meditation, nature, or with ancient scriptures.
Conclusion: Choose Wisdom Over Noise
As warriors of wisdom (Dharma Yoddhas), our role is not to win petty fights but to embody the eternal truths. Fighting over comments on social media is like trying to harm the sky with a sword — pointless.
Remember: You are the eternal Atma, and your source is the infinite Paramatma. Choose silence, choose strength, choose Sanatan.
