Social media
Instagram is worse that serial or a movie
This is due to very frequent context switching
Better stick on
Its called wandering from one to another, to another, to another
One who is attached to this jumping cannot qualify for liberation
Frequent and fast context switching causes depression
Mind wants to continuously jump
World is a never ending tree of illusion; one can keep jumping from one to another
Life is nothing but a wandering from one branch to another without tasting essence
Life on the tree of illusion is tough;
Elevation liberation and entanglement
The world of illusion has quality of stickiness
Hence we are perpetually bound to illusion
The jumping is due to concept of boredom on a branch
Leading to variety is mother of enjoyment - a routine packed with variety creates bliss
In Gita it is called - variety in [ahara, vihara, cesta] - these 3 destroy depression
Vihara is relaxing walk with friends etc.....
Cesta is some service for benefit of the world
Ahara is wholesome food

युक्ताहारविहारस्य युक्तचेष्टस्य कर्मसु।
युक्तस्वप्नावबोधस्य योगो भवति दुःखहा।।6.17।।
6.17 Yogah bhavati, Yoga becomes; duhkha-ha, a destroyer of sorrow-that which destroys (hanti) all sorrows (duhkhani)-, i.e., Yoga destroys all worldly sorrows; yukta-ahara-viharasya, of one whose eating and movements are regulated- ahara (lit. food) means all that is gathered in, [According to the Commentator, ahara, which also means food, includes mental 'food as well. See Ch. 7.26.2.-Tr.] and vihara means moving about, walking; one for whom these two are regulated (yukta) is yukta-ahara-vihara-; and also yukta-cestasya, of one whose effort (cesta) is moderate (yukta); karmasu, in works; similarly, yukta-svapna-avabodhasya, of one whose sleep (svapna) and wakefulness (avabodha) are temperate (yukta), have regulated periods. To him whose eating and movements are regulated, whose effort in work is moderate, whose sleep and wakefulness are temperate, Yoga becomes a destroyer of sorrows. When does a man become concentrated? That is being presently stated:
बन्धुरात्माऽऽत्मनस्तस्य येनात्मैवात्मना जितः।
अनात्मनस्तु शत्रुत्वे वर्तेतात्मैव शत्रुवत्।।6.6।।
[If the body and organs are under control, they are helpful in concentrating one's mind on the Self; but, if they are not under control, they oppose this concentration.]
