Why Life Feels Unfair: A Spiritual Take on Balance, Boundaries, and Becoming

-
Image
We are taught early to seek fairness, as if the world runs on equal measure. Do good, and good will return. Offer kindness, and it will be returned in kind. We chase this invisible symmetry like a rhythm we’re meant to dance in, and when the beat slips, when something feels off, we call it unfair. We blame the world, or power, or systems. But sometimes the imbalance isn’t out there. It’s in what we hold back. We think fairness lives in rules, in being right, in keeping peace. But much of what we call peace is just unspoken tension. Quiet avoidance. We soften our words to be palatable. We laugh when something stings. We lower our voice when it should rise. Not because we don’t see the wrong, but because we fear what happens if we name it. We hold ourselves back. Not for their sake, but because deep down, we don’t yet trust that our truth will be met with love. When we do not trust ourselves, we look at others through that same lens. Every silence feels loaded. Every misstep, betrayal. W...

Meditation in Motion: How to Live Spiritually Without Sitting Still

-
Image
We’ve all been there. You sit down, close your eyes, and try to meditate. But the mind doesn’t listen. The list of things to do is louder than the silence you’re seeking. And slowly, guilt creeps in. You’ve heard the saints, the books, the teachers: “Meditate every morning, sit in stillness, find your center.” You want to. Truly, you do. But life isn’t always a quiet room with crossed legs. So what then? Does that mean you’ve failed at being spiritual? Let’s pause here. Isn’t the whole point of meditation to help us live better now? Not in some distant, enlightened future. Not in a Himalayan cave. But here, amid the deadlines, the mess, the unwashed dishes, the 8:15 train. Why do we imagine that inner peace must arrive through perfect routines? Why do we treat it like a destination rather than something that walks beside us every moment, waiting for us to notice? There’s an old story. Maybe you’ve heard it before. A priest, a learned Brahmin, spent his entire life in devotion. Not a si...

Best Is Just a Story We Tell Ourselves

-
Image
The Best Doesn’t Exist Everyone does their best. But “best” is a strange word, isn’t it? It sounds final. Superior. Like something that can be measured, ranked, or proven. But in truth,  the best doesn’t exist . It’s a shape we carve in our minds, based on what we want, what we value, what feels right to us. And yet we forget that. We look at others, partners, parents, friends, colleagues, and we think,  they could have done better . But maybe they were doing their best. Maybe it just didn’t match  your  idea of what "best" should look like. That’s the thing about comparison. It only lives in the mind. It creates separation where there is none. Distinction where there was only difference. We say,  this is better than that ,  this life is more successful ,  this love is deeper ,  this path is wiser . But the moment we start comparing, we step out of presence and into illusion. Because no two moments are the same. No two people have the same story. ...

The Gentle Art of Becoming: Why the Journey Matters More Than the Goal

-
Image
We chase. We aim. We arrive. And before the echo of achievement has even settled, we are off again, eyes fixed on a new summit, feet already moving. It’s a rhythm so familiar, we forget to ask if the song is even ours. We’ve been told it’s not about the destination but the journey. But do we believe it? Or do we still measure our worth by milestones—job titles, spiritual growth, love returned, goals ticked off like boxes? The truth is, life was never about what we reached. It was always about how we walked. Who we became in the pursuit. What we softened into. What we dared to shed. Success, real success, doesn’t sit in a number or a finish line. It breathes in the spaces where you kept going despite not knowing. It lives in the early mornings you chose effort over excuses, the nights you sat quietly with your truth, and the tiny, invisible victories no one clapped for but you. It’s never been about the output. It has always, always been the input. Because life doesn’t judge you by what...

Why Success Can Feel Like a Cage Amidst Spiritual Outlook

-
Image
Have you ever had that quiet thought in the middle of a busy day:  “Is this really it?” Maybe you're successful by most standards. You’ve got the job, the responsibilities, the lifestyle. You’re independent, driven, and grateful for all you’ve achieved. But beneath all that, there’s a flicker of something else. A deeper longing. A curiosity for meaning. A craving for stillness. Maybe you’ve even heard it whisper to you during long commutes or quiet nights, calling you toward something spiritual, something real. But then life takes over again. Emails. Deadlines. Meetings. Expectations. That little voice fades into the background. For so many people, especially those in high-performing roles, the path of spirituality often feels out of reach. Not because they aren’t drawn to it, but because they’re trapped in a structure that doesn’t allow for stillness. They know meditation works. They’ve felt the power of silence. But the pull of productivity and the never-ending list of tasks alwa...

The Sacred Dance of Holding On and Letting Go: A Meditation on Grief, Becoming, and the Wisdom of the Soul

-
Image
"Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead, let life live through you."   Rumi We often speak of life as a journey, as if it were a straight path from one point to another. But the soul knows otherwise. Life does not move in lines. It spirals. It circles back, it folds in, it expands out. It is rhythm, breath, tide. We pull in what we long for: people, dreams, meanings. Just as surely, life will ask us to release them. This ebb and flow is not a flaw in the design. It is the design. To hold is natural. To let go is sacred. Grief, when it arrives, does not come to shatter. It comes to reveal. Not in words, but in the stillness that follows after they have all been spoken. When the world quiets and the echo of what was once dear reverberates in the chambers of the heart, something ancient within us begins to awaken. It is not just pain that stirs. It is perception. Grief does not merely wound. It widens. We begin to see. The sorrow in a stranger’s eyes. The lone...

The Illusion of Wealth: Breaking Free from the Chains of Money and Unlocking Abundance

-
Image
Have you ever paused in the middle of your workday, looked up from your screen, and wondered what am I really doing this for? You might have a steady career, financial security, and the ability to afford things without hesitation. By all definitions, you are successful. But tell me, do you ever stop to ask yourself if what you're doing is truly valuable? Do you hold back your thoughts to keep a client happy? Do you accept "this is just the way things are" to ensure your paycheck arrives on time? Have you ever silenced your instincts, your creativity, just to chase the external validation that money brings? And if so, at what cost? The Never Ending Chase We don’t just earn to live. We accumulate, we chase, we measure our worth in numbers, believing that once we reach a certain point, we will finally feel secure, free, fulfilled. But has that ever been true? A better home, a bigger car, another promotion, another investment. And then? More. Always more. Society has conditio...
