"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...

Success is not measured in wealth, titles, or relationships. It is not something you acquire, but something you  become . The people we admire—those who move through life with a quiet, effortless grace—haven’t followed a rigid formula. They have understood something deeper. Success is not in what you get, but in what you create. And to truly succeed, only two things matter. You create every day. Not just in the grand pursuits, but in the small, unnoticed moments. In how you speak, in how you listen, in how you respond to life. Every moment is an opportunity to bring something alive—a conversation, an idea, a feeling, an effort. But creation is not repetition. Doing the same job, following the same schedule, walking the same steps every day is not creation—it is merely  a replication of yesterday . And in a controlled environment, even predictable actions do not guarantee the same results. A child wakes up on time, so they go to bed on time, and the rest of the day falls into p...

We often talk about boundaries—how much to give, how to protect ourselves from being taken for granted. But what if, instead of shielding ourselves, we trusted love a little more? What if we allowed it to be imperfect, unguarded, and fully felt? We've been conditioned to believe that too much love makes us weak, vulnerable, easy to hurt. But maybe it’s the opposite. Maybe withholding love is what truly weakens us. When was the last time you loved someone without hesitation? Without wondering if they felt the same? Without holding back a piece of yourself, just in case? What if love was never about safety, but about surrender? What if it wasn’t about ensuring someone stays, but trusting that even if they don’t, you are still whole? Love is not meant to complete us—it is meant to remind us that we were never incomplete to begin with. It is an energy, a force that moves through us, shapes us, sometimes even breaks us, so we can grow into something truer. And yet, we spend so much time...

Once, a guy I dated asked me, "Why are you so loving? For you, it’s like your partner is the best, without fault." And I said to him, almost without thinking, "Isn’t that how it’s supposed to be?" Love, to me, has always felt like the most natural thing in the world, an offering, a surrender, a way of seeing people as they truly are. But in that moment, I realised something profound: genuine love is rare, not because people don’t want it, but because they’ve forgotten how to give and receive it fully. That realization stayed with me. I began to see how many people carry wounds from childhood, from relationships, from the world itself, wounds that make them cautious, skeptical, guarded. Not everyone grows up in a home where love is expressed freely, where warmth is a given. Some have never known what it means to be held without reason, to be accepted without conditions. And so, they hesitate, they measure, they hold back, afraid to give because they have learned that...

I get a toffee for my daughter, and for her, it’s the most magical surprise. Her eyes light up, she giggles, and wraps her tiny arms around me in a hug that speaks volumes. There is wonder in the way she finds her missing eraser and laughs as if it were a grand adventure. She holds a tiny vegetable bug fearlessly, letting it walk on her finger, while I take a step back.  Before leaving for school, she bends down to give the plants a goodbye kiss, and when a tiny bud appears, she celebrates as if she had whispered life into existence. I see her chatting with our beta fish, asking if he feels lonely and if he wants to play. She climbs up the window, eyes shining, peering at the pigeon eggs, excitedly narrating their journey from shell to sky. She finds a simple rock on the sidewalk and proclaims it the most unique treasure she's ever seen. Children are already in the dance of life, twirling, skipping, and embracing the beauty of the ordinary. Their hearts beat in rhythm with the univ...

We say we want the truth, but do we? When we ask someone to tell us the truth, we are only hearing their version—what they’ve seen, how they’ve felt, the way they’ve processed reality through their own mind. And yet, we argue over it, as if truth were something solid, something universal. But it’s not. It never has been. The Illusion of Reality Think about a conversation—any conversation. Two people sit across from each other, talking, listening, but are they really hearing the same thing? No two people see the world the same way. One sees chaos where the other sees opportunity. One hears criticism where another hears care. Every exchange is a reflection of the speaker’s mind, their experiences, their past. So are we ever really connecting? Or are we just syncing up with someone’s personal brand of imagination? We don’t find people we understand—we find people whose illusions match ours. Relationships, friendships, even fleeting connections happen not because we’ve discovered some gran...

As we grow up, we learn independence. We learn to overcome emotions, to drill strength and vitality into our system. We are taught to shut off any thought or feeling that drives volatile emotions or expectations because we must get on with life, work, and fulfill our goals. In doing so, we often lose the ability to notice the beauty of existence itself—the way a tiny bird chirps at the window, the fleeting bloom of a flower, or the radiant smile of a child when given a goodbye hug before work. We have consumed our minds with planning, scheduling, and to-do lists. Our bodies have adapted to the notion that if we are not constantly doing something deemed "productive," then we are wasting time. Productivity, a term we have redefined to mean only external results, has become a relentless corporate world in our heads. When tension rises, we long to halt everything, to take a break, to calm our minds. Yet, even when we find that rare moment to pause—perhaps by falling into our part...

Have you ever craved love so deeply that it ached inside you? Or longed for appreciation, hoping someone would finally see you for all that you are? We chase these things, reaching out with open hands, waiting for them to fall into our palms like gifts from the universe. But life doesn’t work that way. What we desire, we must first become. If you want love, give love. If you wish to be appreciated, shower appreciation onto others. If you want to be cared for, nurture someone with your heart wide open—not just in grand gestures, but in the small, quiet ways that truly matter. If you want to be trusted, be a steady presence. If you want romance, embody warmth, softness, and kindness. Life is not a list of transactions. It’s a rhythm, an energy, a cycle that loops back to you. The more you give, the more you create a world that reflects that same energy. You are not waiting for something outside of you; you are the starting point. Noticing the Little Things We get lost in the chase, don’t...

Ever had one of those days where you wake up, stare at the ceiling, and think, "Nope, not today"? Not sad, not particularly angry, not even frustrated. Just a whole lot of meh. Like someone pressed pause on your enthusiasm but forgot to tell the rest of the world. And dang, does that get frustrating. Especially when the internet keeps screaming at you to be positive, hustle harder, and manifest your dream life. But what if your body is just not on board today? What if, despite your brain’s motivational speeches, your cells are staging a silent protest? Your Body Has a Mind of Its Own Here’s the thing. Mindfulness isn’t about forcing yourself to be positive or productive all the time. It’s not about bulldozing your way through exhaustion with affirmations and caffeine. It’s about listening, really listening, to what your body is telling you. We love to think that our brains run the show. That if we think it, we can do it. That motivation is a mental game. But your body has its...

Have you ever felt frustrated in your relationships? Whether with your partner, parents, friends, or colleagues, do you sometimes feel like people don’t meet your hopes or understand you the way you want them to? These feelings can lead to disappointment and distance. But what if the key to happiness in relationships wasn’t about changing others—but simply accepting them? Everyone is Doing Their Best It’s easy to get caught up in how we wish people would behave. But the truth is,  everyone is doing the best they can with what they know. A friend who doesn’t check in as often as you’d like might be struggling with their own challenges. A parent who seems overly critical may simply be showing love in the way they understand. A partner who finds it hard to express emotions may never have learned how. People aren’t withholding love or care from you on purpose—they are operating from their own experiences, habits, and personal growth. See People As They Are Instead of focusing on what s...

Why is it so hard to ask for help? Whether it’s sending that email, texting a colleague, or seeking guidance from someone more experienced, fear often stops us in our tracks. We’re scared of looking weak, being judged, or giving someone else the credit. But the truth is, no one succeeds alone. Asking for support is not a sign of failure; it’s an act of courage that strengthens connections and builds growth. Somewhere along the way, we’ve become so focused on being independent that we’ve forgotten the value of collaboration. We act like kids hoarding candy, worried that sharing will leave us with less. But what if sharing actually creates more for everyone? What if reaching out for help helps us grow stronger together? It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking, “If I share my ideas, someone else might get ahead.” Or, “What if I ask a stupid question and embarrass myself?” These fears make us insecure and keep us stuck. But life is built on co-creation. Just like trees give us oxygen a...

 “Wisdom is in innocence.” It’s a reminder to stay playful, take risks, laugh freely, and find hope even in tough times. In a world full of rules and expectations, this simple idea brings us back to what really matters: believing in ourselves and the spark of possibility within us. We live in multiple realities at once, whether we realize it or not. There’s the visible, structured world with its societal norms and limitations. And then there’s another layer—a more personal, limitless space—where our potential thrives. Call it the Universe, the Creator, or the Divine; the truth is, creation exists in every one of us. The more we restrict ourselves to others’ ideas of success or failure, the more we deny the unique magic we carry. The story of  Sri Bala , the divine daughter of  Maa Lalita Tripura Sundari , captures this perfectly. Sri Bala, just a child, wanted to fight demons. Her mother, wise and protective, hesitated, worried that her daughter would be harmed. But Bala’...

  "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." – Joseph Campbell We live in a world where everything seems defined for us—our roles, our goals, even our identities. Society loves to box us in, telling us who we should be, what we should strive for, and how to measure success. These definitions can feel like safety nets, but in truth, they’re often invisible chains. What if I told you that the real magic, the kind that creates life-changing manifestations, begins when you stop defining everything? Here’s the thing: all the knowledge we have today—whether it’s spiritual, intellectual, or practical—comes from those who walked the path before us. Their wisdom can guide us, but it’s not a roadmap we’re meant to follow to the letter. Why? Because it wasn’t made for  you . It lacks your essence, your unique way of seeing and experiencing the world. And that’s the beauty of life: nothing in this world is worth experiencing unless it’s filtered through the lens of your true sel...

Magnets are fascinating, aren’t they? Their pull is undeniable, their energy invisible yet powerful. Magnets attract not just because of their structure but because of their inherent alignment. Flip them the wrong way, and they repel just as fiercely. This simple, elegant law of physics mirrors a profound truth about life and relationships: We attract and repel based on who we are and the energy we emit. Think of the people you’re naturally drawn to—those who seem to light up a room just by being themselves. These magnetic personalities aren’t trying to impress anyone. They’re not people-pleasers or chameleons bending to fit the crowd. Instead, their aura is calm, genuine, and full of self-assurance. Being in their presence feels uplifting, inspiring even, because they exude an energy that says, “I know who I am, and I’m at peace with it.” Such people are magnets for success—not just in relationships but in every aspect of life. Their positivity and authenticity create a ripple effect....

In a world where control seems to be the ultimate goal, letting go often feels counterintuitive. We plan meticulously, analyze endlessly, and judge both ourselves and others, all in the pursuit of happiness and success. But what if the secret to a fulfilling life isn’t in controlling every detail, but in allowing life to flow through you, guided by intuition and divine wisdom? To truly experience this, you must create space within yourself—clearing the clutter of fear, ego, and overthinking. Only then can you be open to receiving the gentle signs and messages the Universe offers. These signs don’t disrupt your life or create chaos; they align seamlessly with your path, allowing you to glide through challenges and opportunities with grace. Let Go of Resistance The more we resist, the harder life becomes. Resistance comes from fear—the fear of failure, the fear of judgment, or the fear of the unknown. This fear leads us to overplan, second-guess, and cling to control. But what if, instea...

Meditation. The word alone feels heavy with expectation, doesn’t it? Whether it’s promises of opening your third eye, awakening your kundalini, or unlocking superhuman intuition, the spiritual world has turned meditation into a kind of to-do list. Scroll through Instagram, and you’ll find endless guides and gurus, all claiming to have the “right” way to meditate. It’s exciting, sure. But also, let’s be honest—exhausting. And if you’ve ever found yourself sitting in lotus position, peeking one eye open, wondering,  Is it working yet? —this is for you. Why Are We Meditating, Really? Let’s take a moment and ask: what’s the destination we’re chasing in meditation? Is it an out-of-body experience? Some magical, life-altering awakening? Or maybe you’re hoping for a cosmic sign, a spiritual nudge that you’re on the right track? It’s natural to want results. We’re human, after all. But here’s the thing: meditation was never meant to be about achieving something. It’s about releasing, not r...

We grow up and forget what it feels like to be children again—innocent, fearless, and free. As adults, we wear responsibilities like heavy cloaks, telling ourselves that being childlike is no longer appropriate. Yet, the further we drift from that playful essence, the more stuck and disconnected we feel. The truth is, tapping into the child within us is the easiest way to unlock something deeper: a connection to our spirit guides and guardian angels. Remember those moments when all you wanted was to run into your mother’s embrace, to cry it out, and to hear her whisper that everything would be okay? Even if you didn’t have a close relationship with your mom, the longing for such comfort and unconditional love remains universal. It is in these tender, vulnerable moments that we must turn to the divine parents of creation:  Shiva and Shakti —the cosmic masculine and feminine energies. Shakti, the divine feminine, embodies the vastness of space and the nurturing womb from which all cr...

As a parent, I often find myself reflecting on the kind of world I want to leave for my daughter—and the kind of person I hope she becomes. My deepest desire is for her to grow up compassionate, open-hearted, and able to see the divine in everyone. Yet, as much as I wish for her to embrace the world without judgment, I find myself struggling with my own. India is a beautiful, chaotic tapestry of cultures, languages, and classes. It’s a place where diversity should inspire unity, but instead, I often feel it creates invisible walls. When my daughter plays with children from different backgrounds—the watchman’s son or the cleaner’s daughter—I sometimes notice her picking up habits or phrases that make me uncomfortable. It’s not that these children are any less deserving of love or respect, but my mind can’t help but wonder: Am I judging them unfairly? Am I holding onto a bias I should have let go of long ago? This inner struggle is humbling because I know better. I know that judgment sep...

 I meet countless souls every day—people who  know  they are meant to be somewhere else, someone else, something  more . They carry this quiet ache, like a melody they can’t quite hear. Their minds are cluttered, their intellect sharp. They have read the books, tried the meditations, followed the affirmations. They have healed their inner child, seen the therapists, found gurus, and experimented with countless modalities. Yet the calm they seek remains elusive—as if always one breath, one moment, one miracle away. Here is the big news for you—and it might sting at first, but let it land softly:  The more you search outside yourself, the farther you drift from the wisdom within.  Every technique you chase, every healer you follow, every step-by-step process you attach yourself to is only guidance, not the destination. Yes, they serve a purpose—to discipline the wandering mind and the restless body—but remember, they are only tools. Stillness is the door, but...
