I'm 45 years old single man , never married, i don't want to get married, i want to live rest of my life, being single and i like to move in the path of spirituality, meditation , devine satsang and devine service, for self realisation and peaceful living with devine grace, please advice me on how to make rest of my life meaningful , thank you

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Thank you for thinking of life beyond yourself. More of us need to be in that space...
You have listed down a few things and I am sure you know where and how to proceed!

Making anything meaningful can happen when you don't question: What is in it for me?
So even a conversation can become meaningful when you don't search for a meaning but rather be in that moment and be with the other person completely when they are talking to you.

So, to make anything meaningful even the most mundane of tasks, be in the NOW, experience that moment fully. This will allow you to be in the present moment and that leads to meaning. So, don't look for meaning as you will anyway find it when you start to make the best out of every moment of life.

All the best!

Career
Sir, I am a BTech MBA student with close to 20 years of experience in IT sector. I have climbed the ladder in corporate and currently working for a reputed MNC. I earn well. Few years back due to a severe health issue, had to undergo surgery and now struggle with my health due to loss of a internal organ. My energy levels are down and I am unable to focus and thrive in my job. At the same time, my marital life is full of misunderstandings and has no peace. I am not blaming anyone here but I am assessing my situation. Due to all this, I am more spiritually inclined towards salvation. However I have my parents, child and family to finish my responsibility. Basically I have lost the drive to work due to my poor health and all the stress in life but at the same time need money for family, medical expenses and parents. I lost my previous job due to being not committed and finally was fired because I did not live upto the expectations. I managed to get another job but here too I am unable to deliver due to all the issues in my life. (health, marital, lack of focus etc) I am 45 now. I tried yoga, and few other activities to boost my health. My doctor claims that I cannot work like before due to my health issue and my mind is very much oriented towards spiritual studies but I have a family duty to do. Can you tell me how should I handle all this ? I wanted to add more and hence re-submitting the question again, I love being alone with myself, I dont like people, crowd, and I am afraid of them, I want to be left alone and away from everyone. I am a normal person but I somewhat feel unnecessary to mingle and speak to people because everyone is just gossiping or talking politics or talking some irrelevant subject or conversing about someone else, providing opinions and perceptions, which at the end of the day leads to nothing ? Hence I avoid people and interaction unless it is into spirituality. After aligning to spirituality, i feel like functioning in this existence has become difficult because everything is just a play and a game and everyone's karma is dissolving or creating for their satisfaction of desires. This too is hampering my career,
Ans: You seem to be blaming your health for all the issues you are dealing with as of now. I suggest you do the following…
First read a book titled ‘Born to Fly’ It is about a pilot who loses all his limbs due to an accident and how he rebuilds his life to a more meaningful one. I am sure you will feel motivated by this reading.
Secondly, I do strongly feel that you need to go to a counsellor and get rid of the negative thoughts that seem to be plaguing you.
Thirdly, I do not agree that keeping away from people is a right thing to do. Human beings need to interact with each other to lead a fruitful life. You need to understand this and Counseling as above would help you.
I await hearing from you again after you do the above!
Best of luck!

Hi. Keep me anonymous. I'm in mid 40s. All my life I m a confused guy with regards to everything. Never married. Never had any love affair. I consider speaking to ladies, proposing them, love making as demeaning and bad. But occasionally I feel lonely, driven by natural human desire to love and to be loved. I have always had a desire to marry and and an equal desire to not marry. I however like more of non married life. And never , not even in dreams like making adjustments which may be required in a married life. My way is always Highway. Wt do you suggest or think in this case?? Not that I accept other's suggestions.
Ans: It's perfectly okay to have different desires and preferences when it comes to relationships and marriage. People have diverse perspectives on these matters, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to life. What matters most is that you understand and accept your feelings and choices.

If you feel content and happy with your non-married life and prefer to live independently without making adjustments for a partner, that is entirely valid. Some individuals find fulfillment and satisfaction in singlehood, and that is absolutely fine. Not everyone feels the need to pursue romantic relationships or marriage, and that doesn't make you any less of a person.

However, if you occasionally feel lonely and desire love and companionship, that is also natural. It's okay to have moments of vulnerability and longing for emotional connection. You can explore ways to address these feelings without necessarily committing to a traditional romantic relationship or marriage. For example, you might consider building strong friendships or participating in social activities that allow you to connect with others on a meaningful level.

Ultimately, what matters most is that you embrace and understand yourself and your feelings. If you find contentment and fulfillment in your current lifestyle, there is no need to feel pressured to conform to societal expectations. It's crucial to prioritize your own well-being and happiness, regardless of external opinions or suggestions.

If you ever feel overwhelmed or conflicted about your feelings, talking to a counselor or therapist can be beneficial. They can provide a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions and help you gain clarity about what you truly want in life.

Remember, there is no right or wrong way to approach relationships or marriage. Each person's journey is unique, and the key is to be true to yourself and make choices that align with your values and bring you happiness.

What's the probability of getting cse with 76353 rank in comedk, girl student 75 percentile
Ans: With a COMEDK rank of 76,353 and a 75 percentile in JEE Main, the probability of securing Computer Science Engineering (CSE) in top COMEDK colleges is extremely low, as CSE cutoffs for leading institutes like RVCE, MSRIT, and BMSCE close well before 10,000–20,000 ranks. However, women's colleges and those with higher closing ranks offer some hope: for instance, GSSS Institute of Engineering & Technology for Women (GSSSIETW), Mysore, admitted CSE students up to 76,492 (HK category) in 2024, making it a realistic target. Other colleges where admission for this rank is possible include Presidency University (CSE up to 63,769), SDMCET Dharwad (CSE up to 21,120), DSU Bangalore (CSE up to 13,099), and private options like Atria Institute of Technology, Adichunchanagiri Institute of Technology, and Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology for non-CSE branches. For JEE Main, a 75 percentile translates to a rank above 2 lakh, making NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs highly unlikely for CSE or core branches in the general category, though some low-demand branches at NITs in the Northeast or GFTIs may open up in later rounds, especially for reserved categories. As backup, consider reputed private universities with their own entrance exams or direct admissions such as BITS Pilani (via BITSAT), VIT (VITEEE), SRM (SRMJEEE), Amity, and Chandigarh University, which offer strong placements and flexible admission routes. Given the data, the best recommendation is to apply to women-focused colleges like GSSSIETW for CSE, explore non-CSE branches in other COMEDK institutes, and simultaneously target private universities with robust industry links and alternative entrance exams, ensuring a secure engineering seat without relying solely on state entrance exams. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
