Dear Sravna,
Its 2023..take some time to connect with Nature.
I was seeing a TV documentary when a Native American elder was explaning how living in a city dull our senses because we are not in sync with nature.

He explained that we are part of nature and not the top most but just one of the living creatures on earth.

Just go out somewhere in nature..reconnect to existence.
Do not bother of USA or Kaliyuga or Adharma etc.

I was attending some religious function where the priest kept reminding everyone to have a ceiling on our desires in order to thread the spiritual path.

Agreed, but at the same time all the poojas in the temple and its decoration etc are so lavish.
Many people sponsor the poojas and really it looks very beautiful and lavish.

It made me think.
Shouldn't poojas too be simple and moderate?
How are we to have ceiling of desires if we are lavish in prayers?
I wonder?

Anyway..just let go of USA and please live.
Spirituality is about living and going beyond your " enemies"
