The Overflowing Cup: A Conversation on Self-Love and Purpose.

Image
Let’s be honest—whenever we do something, there’s almost always an expectation attached. Even when we do something nice, somewhere in the back of our minds, we’re thinking, ‘How does this benefit me?’ Maybe it’s wanting better attention from a partner, more love, a little extra appreciation. Or at work, it could be a better position, a raise, or just wanting to be seen. Everything becomes a transaction, a silent tally of effort versus reward. But what if the whole point wasn’t about getting something back? What if the act itself was the purpose, and the outcome was already taken care of? That sounds absurd, right? Like, what’s the point of working hard if you don’t know what you’re getting? But that’s exactly the paradox. The less you obsess over the result, the more things flow in ways you never imagined. There’s an old story in the Vedas about a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna. Arjuna was stuck—afraid to take action because he didn’t want to face the consequences. He was tang...

Beyond Success: Why True Growth Comes from Creation, Not Gain

Image
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...

Rediscovering Childhood Wonder: Who Were You Before the World Told You Who to Be?

Image
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...

Truth is not True at All : Seeing beyond Spirituality

Image
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...

You Are Worthy of Love: How Embracing Vulnerability Strengthens Self-Worth

Image
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...

True Mediation : The Power of Acceptance: Seeing People as They Are.

Image
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...

From Fear to Growth: Embracing Help and Building Together

Image
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...

Breaking Free: How Letting Go of Definitions Opens the Path to Manifestation

Image
  "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...

Why Ditching Goals is the Key to True Happiness and Success

Image
Goals, dreams, plans—what if I told you they’re holding you back? Yes, you heard me right. Forget the manifestation charts, the vision boards, the detailed life plans. Chuck them all out the window and take a deep breath. Because here’s the thing: when you’re chasing goals, you’re not free. Let me share a moment from my own life. A few years ago, I was consumed by ambition—deadlines, to-do lists, personal milestones. I thought I was doing everything right. But the harder I worked toward my goals, the more anxious and unfulfilled I felt. Even when I achieved something, it didn’t feel enough. I’d immediately set a bigger, shinier goal. Sound familiar? Think about it: What is your definition of a “good life”? For some, it’s owning a cozy home. For others, it’s traveling the world, driving a luxury car, or earning a six-figure salary. And while there’s nothing wrong with these aspirations, the problem lies in how they control us. Every time you achieve a goal, a bigger one takes its place....

Becoming the Magnet: The Physics of Self-Love and Success

Image
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....

Is Knowledge Bringing Us Closer or Pulling Us Apart?

Image
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...

Reflections of Free Will: Choosing to Live with Awareness and not Rebellion

Image
  "When you let go of what you are, you become what you might be."  – Lao Tzu The idea of "this is my life, and I choose how to live it" sits delicately at the boundary between self-empowerment and rebellion. It’s a bold assertion of free will, often mistaken as a license for superiority or defiance. But in truth, this choice—when rooted in awareness—becomes the fulcrum that can spread light inward and outward. This tension is particularly visible in young people, caught in the fervor of experiencing everything life has to offer. I, too, once believed that freedom meant indulging every whim, trying everything, and chasing the best of all experiences. But the thirst for freedom, unchecked, can become a trap—a construct that binds the soul rather than liberates it. The declaration, "I will do whatever I want," is powerful, but when it lacks love and understanding, it turns hollow. The key is to ask: are your choices an act of rebellion, or are they acts of c...

Finding Divine Grace in Life's Whirlwinds : Those Days.

Image
Sometimes, life feels overwhelming. Days stretch endlessly, your body feels weighed down, and your thoughts lose their spark. Motivation ebbs away, and the joy once found in simple pleasures seems distant. You might find yourself lying awake at night, gripped by self-doubt and guilt, or lost in the unsettling emptiness of just existing. We've all experienced these moments. Some of us still do—and likely will again. When caught in such a storm of emotions, it’s natural to wonder: How can the Divine shine through when I feel so dim inside? How can my guardian angels or spirit guides reach me when my mind feels too blah to notice? Where are those magical coincidences I once believed in? It’s easy to feel disconnected, as if your inner fog has created a barrier to Divine grace. Here’s the truth to hold onto: the Divine doesn’t measure its love for you by your energy levels or state of mind. Guardian angels and spirit guides don’t judge or withdraw when you’re not at your best. Their pr...

Know what is the Purpose of your Life: A Gentle Reminder

Image
This is for anyone who's ever stared at the ceiling late at night, wondering,  “What am I here for?”  Here’s the thing: life isn’t a puzzle to solve or a mountain to conquer. The purpose of your life is far simpler—it's to love, to enjoy, and to fully experience every moment. Think back to when you were a kid. Remember the joy of smearing paint on everything except the canvas, running barefoot through fields, or curling up in your favorite corner with a book? Back then, life wasn’t about achievements or timelines. It was about the pure joy of  being . As adults, we tend to complicate things. We trade our crayons for calculators, our dreams for deadlines. And somewhere along the way, we forget that our heart, the same one that felt joy so easily, still beats with the same innocence and wonder we once knew. It’s not lost—it’s just buried under responsibilities, rules, and expectations. “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up,” ...

Take a Step Back: The Constant Urge to Fit In

Image
As I scrolled through Instagram for what felt like the hundredth time, I realized that I wasn’t just browsing. I was gathering ideas—storing up witty remarks, intellectual snippets, even quirky comments for the next social interaction. Each meme, each inspirational post felt like ammunition, preparing me for the moment when I’d need something relevant, funny, or insightful to add to a conversation. The truth is, there's an invisible pressure that looms over us, urging us to stay informed, to keep up, to always have something to say. Studies, graphs, personality assessments—they all seem to confirm this unspoken rule. If you’re not talking, you’re labeled: introvert, anti-social, maybe even distant. But what if you love being around people and just don’t feel the need to speak all the time? Why does silence in company often carry the weight of judgment? Why is it so challenging for us to enjoy each other’s company without the need for constant chatter? The internet, our free "u...

The Reality of Manifestation : How to Live the Life of your Dreams?

Image
Everyone has dreams, and hopes, and vision boards of the life we wish to live. The job, the position, the clients, the business, the home, the wealth, the health, and the joy. Every time we visualise and try to experience how it feels, our mind tells us this feels good, peaceful, blissful - so we tell ourselves that if we achieve this, we will feel peaceful. If we have so much wealth, we will be at bliss. But if we look back at our lives, we can see definite growth, we have fulfilled our desires, some if not all - and even then, have those desires vanished? Do desires end? And then does it mean that only achieving something or the other, will make us peaceful? So what is the reality of manifestation? If reality is but an illusion, then where does this creation and attraction happen? If it is the subconscious, then how do I control it? If I cant see it, how do I attract it?  What is subconscious mind? It your deep seated beliefs about yourself - it is where the I reigns - it is the ...

What is Spirituality? And how do I blend it in your Life?

Image
Spirituality, a single word carries so much of knowledge in itself. So many meanings, and methods, and jargons. All but connected to one answer, of being your best blissful version. And while we try the several ways to imbibe it in us, we forget to see that is exists all around us and within us too. Like a little lamp flickering within, waiting to blaze and engulf our being. You see spirituality is never from the external, it blazes within and empowers the external. So, knowing what ignites that spark of Divine within us, is important to experience spirituality. Not bound to religion, or any god, or any distinction - spirituality is the effortless being of human. When people think spiritual, they think they will be required to let go of many things, and that yogis are the way to spiritual being. So, we go about our everyday lives, hoping to make that time to meditate, trying to force our focus on the nothingness. We try so hard to hold on to it, hoping to experience all those things we...

Spirit Guides tell the truth about Manifestation & the Art that needs to be learnt

Image
While we flow in the beauty of the Divine, the love, the wonder, the ease - when we are out of the trance, reality feels a lot different to get back to. It's like you have to choose the bliss over chaos - but if you are ever feeling this choice then you have got it all wrong. Because time is linear, and duality non existent on higher planes, the only feeling that exists is of bliss and abundance. And if you wish to tap into this reality of abundance and materialise your manifestations, your first key to spiritual growth is to bridge this gap between reality and spirituality. My Guardian angel says, the art of visualisation can become addictive because imagination is boundless. It is also alluring and misleading where you are surviving in your mental creation, but the act of manifestation happens in the physical - and that requires action, some step to drag that visual into the physical, as when He gives the power of creation to you, it is you who have to create, that is power you h...

Easy Meditation & Mindfulness Technique : All it takes is 5 mins

Image
 Finding the right technique or method can be a task. Especially, with the plethora of information available out there, the endless trials and errors leave us feeling even more confused than we started. Some techniques feel good, while the others spark our curiosity, some feel calming, while others get us all charged up - while we embark on this spiritual path, we do know that regular practice is what will take us to that Divine nectar. We feel it in our bones, that doing a practice daily will open more doors and take us closer to the soul. We have felt it in bits and pieces, and are hungry for more - and when we become hungry, we end up exploring and learning more and more!  But meditation and mindfulness, is all about letting go. So, the more we hold on to the feeling of awakening, the more it will go away from us. Because nothing but bliss is permanent, and thats how our mind should be, calm, peaceful and aware of itself. So here is a simple technique that you can do anytim...

Is Spirituality another Business Model - Can one become a Spiritual Millionaire?

Image
 I came across an interesting podcast that featured a Shaman who published his book titled ' How to become a Spiritual Millionaire'. With the amount of ads we are bombarded with over social media, tracking our earnest search algorithm, that finding the genuine content through the swarm is one task, isn't it? So, we decide let us explore as much as we can, attend all the free webinars, take those short courses - all centred around spirituality, and energy manifestation, metaphysics even - its like everyone knows what the key is to success, but doesn't know how to apply it!  But this Shaman took me by surprise, as I was really impressed by what he said - he says spiritual awakening is a life long learning process, and to have reached a point to be able to share your learnings, its like that took you so many years of work on yourself, so much discipline and effort to uncover those Universal truths - and now you want to serve the people and help them elevate their lives too...
