Hello everyone, my name is Bishal Gyawali. You may know me as a medical oncologist, but I also like to think of myself as a philosopher. This website is the place for my philosophical thoughts. For my oncology work, refer to my oncology page.
I built this site primarily to post the chapters from my Journey of Success Book. But I have also decided to share other inspirational essays in this website under the Library of Inspiration page, and my spiritual thoughts under the Spiritual Journey page. Check them out. I hope you will find your subscription to this site meaningful. Cheers!

What is Self?
Apart from thoughts, there’s no such thing as mind. Apart from thoughts, there’s no independent entity called the world. Of all thoughts that arise in the body, the I-thought is the first. The irony is that the person glimpsing this moment of higher consciousness, this Oneness, encounters the ultimate realization that there is nothing to Read more

Happiness, Sex, Health, and Death
We crave happiness because we think it is the ultimate goal of life. And we think happiness comes out of fulfilling our desires. But happiness is not the fulfillment of desire.
