- Healing happens when you are ready
Embodying true self I have learned the hard way that until people are ready, you can't help 'heal' them. They have to decide it for themselves. Essentially, they have to be ready to take ownership of why they created the situation and self-realize through it. Anything other than that isn't truly healing at all. We have got a million ways of healing modalities available. Yes, they all have their rightful place in the world. But from my perspective, fixing the situation—taking away the mental, emotional, or physical pain—without realizing why you created it in the first place is not healing at all. The physical pain is the symptom, not the cause. Confusion, anxiety, overthinking, these are all symptoms, not the actual cause. Why are many not ready? One of the reasons is that the world we live in has conned people into thinking healing will be done for you. And many are looking for quick fixes rather than permanent solutions. When I speak with people who are at this place, I can intuit what their karmic lesson is. I can empathically feel the pain they are carrying, yet I don't interfere. I can see their psyche is still very much invested, through blind trust, in the ways of the system/ matrix. To truly evolve and heal is to take responsibility, reclaim sovereignty, and inquire with self-honesty into our life situation. I have sat with people who are at this level, and I see how quickly they transform their lives—whether it’s a life situation that’s gone into disarray or some energetic blockage and pain they are carrying. It was because their mind was open enough to ask the right questions and approach healing differently. True healing is knowing yourself as the true self. All pain, disease, and unfulfilled life situations are the result of being the false ego self. Explode that, and we will liberate ourselves. Then, true healing happens.

- Journey begins - letting go of self images from the shadow to the light
Journey begins After a lot of confusion, doubt, and inner debating, I began this journey on my bike, carrying a tent, a sleeping bag, a few clothes, my ukulele, and just over 2000 rupees. When I checked my bank account this morning, it showed exactly 2222— a welcome surprise. That number has appeared many times on my journey, which feels like a sign of twin flame support. Last night, my attention was drawn to the back cover of a book— a girl reaching out to a boy on a shared adventure. This, too, felt like a reflection of the twin flame connection. I knew she would support me. I dont know how yet. Twinflame reaching out There were many intentions for this journey. But a few minutes after I hit the road, most of those intentions gave way to a surrendered openness . Carrying intentions felt like too heavy a burden. This surrendered openness had a lightness, a grace, a trust, and an acceptance to it. I let the flow decide where I would sleep, what I would eat, and how resources would come. The journey became relaxed and beautiful when there was no particular destination to reach. It’s challenging for the active mind to hold possibilities without rushing into action. The mind either wants to jump into a conclusion or reject the possibility completly. But therein lies the opportunity and growth. I know flow is manifested from open possibilities. I asked myself: Why am I taking this journey? Is it a desire to see places or have new experiences? The truth is— it’s to experience being in the flow. And also to see how I deal with adversities. Would I be hard on myself, or would I hold myself with compassion? What shadows are lurking in the darkness, wanting to be welcomed into the light? What self-images have I been carrying all my life, quietly dictating my life? Will they get a chance to see the light? Will I be courageous enough to face them? The flow took me to Dharamshala, McLeodganj. I visited the Dalai Lama temple, which was crowded with tourists. I couldn’t even find a spot to sit quietly. My peace and lightness quickly gave way to confusion and frustration, as the mind took over the show. I saw many Rajasthani buskers playing popular tunes on the street. I felt saddened that they were being paid little or no attention by the privileged tourists shopping around. Maybe they reflected a part of me? For a while, I considered opening my ukulele case and busking there myself, but I didn’t have the energy or courage yet. Maybe some other time. I didn’t feel like staying there either— I’d seen too much of the place already. Pitching my tent By evening, I parked my bike in a village not far from Dharamshala, near a river, and pitched my tent. It was such a blessing to have a refreshing natural pond nearby. The heaviness lifted again as I swam in the pond, and I saw a beautiful white feather drifting in the air towards me. There was a cemetery nearby. Perhaps a part of me was being washed away, and another part being born? Me! I had carried a monk’s robe with me. I wore it and lay on the rocks for a while, resting. Afterwards, I walked onto the street still wearing it, and my heart became heavy again. The word outcast drifted into my consciousness. I’m sure I’ve had these experiences many times before, in previous lifetimes. Part of me regretted the feeling, while another part simply knew it was time to meet these feelings and hold them without judgment. I reminded myself: There is no judgment. It’s absolutely fine whether I take this journey for a day or a hundred. I crawled back into my tent and felt safe again. The soothing sound of the nearby river became a lullaby for the night.

- When we let go of self expectations- perspective from a performing musician.
Do you know what is the hardest thing in the world? It’s to be yourself . Everything else seems relatively easy! Do you know why? Society has placed a whole lot of expectations on us — that we should be one way or another. This starts from our childhood through our parents, teachers... We get rewarded for behaving a certain way and punished if we behave differently. Over time, we learn to cope with these expectations by forming certain behaviourisms. It becomes a prison. But really, this is a self - imposed prison . We take in these expectations and make them self-expectations. Playing music in local art market As someone who plays music in front of people regularly — this has had the biggest impact on me. I have seen how I’m expecting myself to be a certain way — to live up to a standard when I’m performing in front of people. But there were many experiences that had punched holes in these formed beliefs. For example, I have seen when I make mistakes — sing the wrong lyrics, say the stupidest thing — I had connected with audiences more. Probably this is because my vulnerability was connecting with them. In other words, they could see how this guy is not so different from them, but just as imperfect as they are. Hence, they could relate. I remember one time I was waiting to play at an open mic in Goa. Many musicians came and played their songs — some of them were really beautiful, heart-touching, and well-received. But then this guy came on stage and started singing “Lalalaa Lalalala” and whatever lyrics came to his mind. He looked quite stupid. But he was confident in himself. You know who got the most claps that night? You guessed it right — it was that guy! It was his confidence in his vulnerability and freedom to be that, which sent a resonance to the audience. So nowadays, when I’m playing music or speaking in front of people — there is only one intention I carry with me: How can I be fully myself there? This has increasingly made me feel free! I realized I don’t need to be anything other than just being me ! The paradox is that this freedom helps me to surrender and relax on stage — which, in turn, helps me to ‘perform’ better. When I let go of trying to impress or be perfect, I become more present. I start to enjoy the moment, the connection, the music — and that energy flows to the audience too. Does this resonate?

- A self retreat in vattakanal - enjoying connection with nature
Recently, I traveled to Vattakanal, a beautiful little village in Tamil Nadu. Loved by free-spirited travelers, it’s a place where you’ll often see many Israelis spending time immersed in its serene atmosphere. The energy of the mountains and valleys is truly off the scale. I felt that the valley holds a unique energy we can tune into. Many of my early mornings and late evenings were spent in meditation in my cozy little hamlet—a charming home that seemed to manifest perfectly for my self-retreat. Nestled in a quiet, secluded spot backed by the forest, my house also offered a lovely view of the morning sunrise. One of my favorite places was Altaf’s Café, a great spot to enjoy coffee and vegan falafel wraps while taking in breathtaking views. A must-visit is the Dolphin’s Nose viewpoint. The short walk through the forest to reach the viewpoint adds to the experience. The rock, shaped like a dolphin’s nose reaching out into the valley, offers a spectacular sight. On my first day there, I was mesmerized by an eagle soaring gracefully ahead of me, drawing intricate patterns in the sky—as if she were communicating a message. During my three-day stay, I spent the first day walking to a nearby town, where I visited some peaceful churches that offered ample space for meditation. During my three-day stay, I spent the first day walking to a nearby town, where I visited some peaceful churches that offered ample space for meditation. After hours of walking back from town, I stumbled upon a stream and waterfall. I sat there for some time, bathing in its grace and presence, feeling deeply refreshed. I had heard about a place called red rock which was closed for the tourist as there had been a number of accidents recently and the place had declared as dangerous. I had a pull to visit the place but did not ask for any direction. On the last day I found a narrow path through the woods and felt to walk on it. Believe it or not it ended up to the red rock. I could see why it was closed. It was steep and in the rainy seasons quite slippery. I had the whole place to myself for some considerable time. After a while a few monkeys visited me. The younger ones kept prodding at my feet curious to see who this guy who had come to visit their place. It was such a remarkable connection. During these few days there I had some inquiries about belonging and soul connections. There was no feeling to connect with anyone there but I had ample connection with nature which was feedback for my soul. With love Vimal 🙏
- Addiction as a doorway to transformation
In this article, I want to explore the nature of addiction—how it impacts our body, mind, and emotions, and how to address it at its source. Some of the insights I share will be based on personal experience, and this exploration will look at addiction from spiritual, experiential viewpoints. Almost all of us have formed an addiction to some stimulus, whether it’s a drug, food, entertainment, or something else. In the world we live in, addiction is often treated as normal behavior. Looking at the root cause First, I want to clarify that addiction is not the problem—it’s merely a symptom. The real problem runs much deeper. If you've consciously explored the nature of addiction, you might have already realized this. Therefore, any approach to dealing with addiction must address the root cause, not just focus on the symptom. Let’s say you’re addicted to cigarettes. Clearly, the cigarette is fulfilling something internally. It could give you a sense of completion, confidence, contentment, relaxation, or something else. Now, where do we feel this sense of completion? The obvious answer is that it’s within us. This means that the completion is already there; the cigarette is merely a stimulus that triggers this feeling. It’s not the cause of it. The cause is always within. Real completeness within What if I told you that we have the power to access this completion without relying on external stimuli? Even more, what if I said the stimulus is actually diminishing the depth of this inner completeness and only offering a fleeting glimpse of it? At this point, some may ask, “Why should I get rid of the habit if I enjoy it?” I assume that if you’re still reading this article, you’ve likely explored how the habit negatively influences your life and have made a commitment to change. But if you haven’t come to that realization yet, there’s no judgment. I would suggest you revisit this when you're ready to make that shift. Addiction is a blessing Here’s something counterintuitive: Addiction is a blessing! Yes, you heard that right. I understand it may be hard to see this, especially if you've been struggling with the habit for a long time. But I’ll say it again—it’s a blessing because it offers a great opportunity for self-realization and inner growth. It shows us where we believe we are incomplete or unworthy and need something external to fulfill us. But rest assured, this belief is not true. We are innately complete. There’s nothing we need to achieve, consume, or fix—either internally or externally—to complete ourselves. The Key : Non - Judgmental awareness The key to working with any addiction is to observe it—and ourselves—without self-criticism. Everyone faces challenges. It’s these challenges that make life interesting. Without them, we wouldn’t have the impetus to learn and grow. Addiction can often trigger feelings of shame, guilt, and unworthiness. It can be incredibly helpful to witness ourselves during these moments with full awareness or mindfulness. For example, if you're short-tempered and it feels out of control, can you use those moments to observe yourself? What emotions are tied to that behavior? By witnessing ourselves this way, we can disengage from the behavioral pattern without identifying with it. The more we practice this, the more we can observe our behavior without criticism or judgment. Have you noticed how the urge to consume or soothe pain can come out of nowhere? The more we notice this, the more power we gain to respond differently to those urges. Ultimately, it’s not about stopping the urges entirely, but rather about how we respond to them . Those urges may contain some truth—they might signal that the body or mind is asking for rest or relief, for example. Over time, we can learn to make better, more positive choices in response to our natural needs. So, the next time you feel the urge to consume something or fall back into familiar behaviors, that increased awareness will give you enough space to question the urge and make a conscious choice. If we’re not making a conscious choice in the moment, we’re simply following programmed behaviors that aren't authentic to our true selves. It’s crucial to break these behavioral patterns and use them as a path to reconnect with our true essence. If you've read this far, you’ve probably realized that addiction is actually a self-soothing mechanism that helps us cope with emotional, mental, or physical pain or discomfort. For example, it might stem from a lack of love we experienced as children, and when we feel that lack again, we reach for an emotional fix that has turned into an addiction. Or it could be that we’re in a state of confusion, uncertainty, or unresolved issues, which is uncomfortable. In these cases, we can clearly see that the habit is serving as a quick fix for emotional pain, but it’s not a real solution. In fact, it can ultimately derail us and damage our well-being. This leads us to the question - what is the real solution? Honor the pain and sit with it without trying to escape it. Pain is the doorway to mental clarity and emotional completeness. There will be times when we stray from this discipline and give in to the urge, and that’s okay. That’s why patience and self-compassion are so important. It’s the ability to witness our behavior without judgment. In this practice lies our greatest learning. From personal experience, I can confidently say that addiction teaches us to be self-compassionate, disciplined, surrendered, and mindful. When we approach addiction this way, it transforms into a blessing. Do you resonate with this writing. What are your thoughts on it? Feel free to comment below you experiences with it.

- Dissolution of identity - Embracing who we truly are
Every time I visit my family home, I feel different from the previous time. There is a greater sense of clarity and a more aligned perception of reality. This transformation has come from working on myself internally and letting go of layers of attachment and identification. Each visit brings an increased feeling of peace and freedom. Like everyone else, I grew up in a society where I was assigned fixed roles—the role of a son, a student, an employee, a citizen, and so on. I now recognize that these are all identities, temporary roles we play. The truth of who we really are—the essence of our being—is something entirely different. It is not confined by any of these limited identities. Identities place us in a box of expectations and obligations, often tied to concepts like love and purpose. But can love and purpose exist without the limiting confines of identity? They certainly can. In fact, as we shed these layers of identification, love and purpose not only persist but grow deeper. However, to experience this, we must increasingly align with the truth of who we are. If you are spiritual, you may have heard the saying, "We are all one." Let’s contemplate this for a moment and feel the gravity of this statement. If we are all one—which I agree with—there can be no other conclusion than to accept that there is only one being in the entire universe, and we are that! What else could we be if we are all one? To truly embrace this truth means embracing dissolution—the dissolution of all identification until we become the ONE. This also means embracing aloneness— all-oneness . It is not an easy truth to behold and embrace, but within it lies the greatest liberation. This does not mean we must distance ourselves from society or live in a cave. Wherever we are, we can embrace the truth of ourselves and connect with others from that place. We begin to relate with others in wholeness and authenticity. Relationships are no longer built on the tired old ways of obligation and expectation. Instead, they are founded on truth, mutual respect, learning, growth, and opportunities. We no longer need others to change; instead, we begin to accept them as they truly are, without requiring them to change. I would like to share a personal life example: the relationship between my mother and me. The word mother is often loaded with preconceptions. Through the lens of being a son, I had sought validation, love, support, and nurture from her. However, through deep inquiry, I discovered that when I seek these things from an external source—whether it is a mother or a partner—I am far from the truth of who I really am. What I truly am is a unique expression of the ONE, who has chosen to inhabit this body to experience life. Let’s call this unique expression - the soul. To grow, this soul has many inquiries: how to be sovereign while still being in relationship with others, how to support others without overstepping boundaries, and how to avoid making ourselves or others dependent. To embrace the truth of who I truly am meant being authentic, vulnerable, and honest in relationships, no matter the perceived consequences. This led to many relationships that were not meant to last falling away, while those that were meant to stay became even more beautiful and valuable. In this plane of reality, I am the son, and she is my mother. However, I recognize both of us as souls who are temporarily together, sharing a mutual opportunity for inquiry and learning. I do not share this to impose this concept on anyone else, as each of us must arrive at our own understanding. For me, this realization has meant being able to accept her as she truly is, without feeling the need to change her. People who are close to you often struggle to see you as you truly are. Frequently, they will try to pull you into the box of limitation and identification, as that feels like the safest place for them. Embracing the truth of who we truly are means embracing the death of identity—a process that can feel as daunting as real death. However, what they may not realize is that birth follows death—the birth of truth. Are you in a process of change and transformation. Many of us are embracing it and finding gifts that we never dreamt possible. Reach out if you would like to connect.
- Being our sovereign self
What does it mean to be free and sovereign in the world? There is a beautiful Kabir poetry that goes like this: Rahe aazad ya jag me Haman duniya se yaari kya This literally means, Be free in the world; what have I got to do with the concerns of this world? For a very long time, I was singing this song as: Rahe aazad ya jag se Haman duniya se yaari kya. This means, Be free from the world. Until a close friend corrected me, I hadn’t realized the difference. It was a small mistake, but it had a big impact on me. There is a significant difference between being free in the world and being free from the world. If we let go and surrender, we can quite easily touch bliss and contentment. We can even call this freedom. But how about bringing this freedom into the world? How about bringing this freedom into our relationships, work, expression, and other areas of our life? All these areas can trigger us. How do we behave and feel when we are in the middle of such triggers? Does it define us? Being our sovereign self I feel it’s all about sovereignty. Every day, every moment of our life, we are influenced by everything around us. Many people say that who we are is a collection of ideas and thoughts we have learned from the world. But is there something beyond this? I feel there is. When I look back, I can see how I had been losing my sovereignty throughout my life—first in family, then in school, college, and beyond. I behaved as others behaved, seeking love, appreciation, and acceptance from the world. I thought, If I act this way, I will be rewarded, and if I do otherwise, I will be punished. At around age 23, I experienced a significant shift in my consciousness. I realized I had been following someone else’s rules and desires. This led to a complete transformation in my life, where everything changed, including my career, location, and friendships. Later, when I was drawn to spirituality, I embraced many new ideas that greatly assisted my journey. I let go of many layers of fear and ego identity. But then came the realization that I had been losing my sovereignty to spirituality as well, through another set of identities—spiritual identities. These identities served me for a while, but it was time to let go of them too. Anyone who has let go of their old sense of self will agree that it feels like death—the death of the old self. But just like a butterfly emerges from its cocoon, something new emerges from the old. This new self feels much more liberated. It is the freedom to be who we truly are: unbound and undefined by the conditions and limitations of this world. Most of us are searching for something—lasting peace, contentment, happiness, fulfillment. The problem is one of confusion: we think the external conditions of our lives will deliver these things. They might, but only temporarily. Nothing can truly replace the fulfillment of connecting with our true essence. Photo taken from Rewalsar Lake This connection is difficult to put into words. I could use terms like presence, awareness, true happiness, or emptiness. But if we haven’t truly experienced this, these words lose their meaning. When we are truly connected to this inner place, life takes on a different form. It is no longer about reaching an illusory destination that promises fulfillment. We have already found it! It then becomes about discovering who we truly are. At some point, we also realize that the external circumstances of our life are assisting in this discovery. They reveal where we are attached to a specific version of reality and how this limits us. They show how we avoid pain and seek pleasure. But what if we could reach a place within ourselves where we understand the deeper meaning behind all events and circumstances—and embrace them, even when we feel pushed and battered by the world? Wouldn’t it be truly empowering to feel gratitude for everything in life—the good, the bad, and the ugly? In this state, we reach an inner place where there is no one (no identity or ego) dictating how life should unfold. We become open to the river of life, trusting that it will take us exactly where we need to be. In this place, there are no agendas or ulterior motives to taint our true expression. Then we have begun to grasp the true meaning of sovereignty. Vimal 🙏 Subscribe to receive blog posts in the mail. Check out the service I offer:
- Reactivation of flower of life in Tashi Jong
As we approached Tashi Jong, there was already a mob of teenage boys and girls making Instagram reels and taking pictures of themselves with the monastery in the background, and they were making quite a ruckus. They appear completely unaware of the energy of the surrounding mountains and the monastery itself. It was a perfect reflection of modern society's collective unconsciousness. I tried not to be troubled by it, instead finding a position in the shade under a tree and tuning into the silence within. The majority of the gathering quickly left the monastery, and it was quiet again. Was it the power of meditation and reactivation of the energy field, or were they merely finished filming reels and taking photographs? Or perhaps both? I'll leave the decision to you. I am often drawn to this monastery, partially because of the energy of the surrounding majestic Himalayan mountains, and partly because of the monastery's stillness and calm. The monastery is located in Tashi Jong village, which is a small rural area situated between Paprola and Taragarh. Home to the Drugpa Kagyu tradition of Buddhism, this monastery is one of the schools of Kagyu tradition established by 8th Khamtrul Rinpoche, Dongyu Nyima. My attention was drawn to the red edifice located near the center of the campus, above the main temple. As we hiked up to this stupa, it became evident that this is where the monastery's head lama meditates and prays. My friend and I had a conversation about hierarchy and superiority in the monastic tradition, the loss of sovereignty, the attachment to purity in spiritual practices, and how this can disconnect oneself from the grounded connection to the base chakra while pulling one's consciousness into the higher chakras. This state of being can be highly appealing because separating from density can result in a temporary experience of serenity, happiness, or even bliss. However, this can be ultimately self-derailing because, as souls, we have come to this density to anchor our consciousness in physicality while remaining connected to the higher dimension and our soul team. This stone beneath the stupa appeared pretty unique, with mantra carvings on it. It is my understanding from working with some advanced spiritual organizations that one of the root nations Andromedan were seeded in this location millions of years ago. However, due to dogmatism in spiritual practices, this frequency was restricted and ultimately bereft of its core. But, at its foundation, is the truth about the original frequency. We can see this vividly in the mandalas and elaborate art works created by Tibetan Buddhists. Below are some images of mandalas, Thanga paintings and wax artwork from Norbulinka Monastery. As we meditated on the location, we could feel a rigidity around the chakra points, which we sought to release through breathing. Soon, the energy field was restored, and we observed supportive synchronicities surrounding it. It is fair for readers to wonder at this stage, "How is it possible to do these things?" Well, it's not sorcery or black magic. We are all empathetic beings, and once we have dissolved our identity to some degree, we can expand our field to embrace that of our surroundings and empathically feel into it, whether it is a person or a location. And while we seek to restore coherence inside ourselves through the resurrection of the flower of life, we may also reactivate the flower of life in the location. I feel this is one of the purposes and missions of lightworkers on the planet. If you ever visit this monastery, stop by Sujatha cafe, which serves some delicious coffee. As we prepared to return home from the cafe, the flow took an unexpected turn, and we ended up driving to the top of the mountain behind the monastery.I would not have missed this stunning scenery and sunset for anything. Despite how beautiful the location was, I could feel my solar plexus tightening when I reached it. It was quite evident that the place had been tampered with energetically with alcohol bottles and cigarette butts strewn about. Some have used this location to liquor and party, bringing in intervention consciousness. We worked on the energy field at the place. We were accompanied by fire dragons, who illuminated and burned the energetic dross from the region. Later, this gorgeous and graceful being emerged on the clouds just where we were working. This was priceless feedback from the energy field on the work that took place there. A feedback for the soul.

- Reframing success - life as an endless game.
Reframing Success and Failure What constitutes success and failure? Different people have different interpretations of what these things signify to them. Some may argue that happiness equals success. Some may argue that it is having enough money, performing well in their endeavors, or expressing themselves creatively. But consider this: we live in a cosmos that is continually changing; change is the only constant. In that situation, human life is constantly evolving. No state can be considered fixed in time and space. Even feelings of contentment, peace, and so on are transient. Yesterday's winner could lose today. Today's loser could become tomorrow's winner. What then, we can adopt a different measuring scale, which substantially simplifies the path and provides us with a broader and more evolved perspective. At this point, I would define success as the ability to move with this constant change of the universe. This is well depicted in a recent film I saw. In the film Chandu Champion, the protagonist, a champion boxer, loses his ability to walk due to the war and is forced to give up his sport. However, his coach persuades him that the actual championship is overcoming life's challenges and quieting the inner critic who tells him he has failed. As a result, he pursues a new sport and wins a gold medal at the Paralympics. Settling into the Void of Presence In a continually changing universe, there appears to be one constant: the observer phenomenon, which simply observes the change. Some refer to it as the presence, singularity, or source. When the identity, which is a collection of emotional and mental programs, vanishes, we just dissolve into this presence and become it. This realization brings a great sense of serenity. It's like returning home to who we truly are! After generations of quests, we have returned to where we began. Rekindling the flame If we can look for the truth within distorted, negative behaviors and thoughts, the negative behaviors will fade with time and the truth will grow. It's a basic mechanism - what you fuel grows! Several approaches may advise us to either stop the negative behavior or focus on the positive. But this can be likened to throwing the baby with the bath water and It would never truly go away because the negative behavior sprang from an underlying truth. Let us take sexual intimacy as an example. Sexual intimacy is a powerful, pleasurable, and highly spiritual experience that we can engage in, yet it can easily descend into lust, for example. So, in this scenario, it is not useful to criticize the behavior but rather to bring light into it and align it by looking for the aligned expression. Let's take another example. The desire to succeed and become better. In our world of material success, achievement, and competitiveness, this may easily turn into a desire to outperform others, comparison, jealousy, and so on. So, is there no benefit in improving or achieving? Certainly, there is! Learning from nature - improving naturally Look at nature: is it not evolving to get 'better'? Nature does this without animosity or conflict. What can we learn from that? Of course, we are nature. Working on computers and living inside four walls does not separate us from nature. This means that, without effort, we can become a better version of ourselves in every instant and express ourselves more accurately in the world. When we use this approach, the struggle disappears and is replaced by an unrestrained flow. We are neither detached from reality as a result of spiritual discipline, nor are we lost in materiality as a means of compensating for an emotional gap or a lack of self-love; rather, our actions and expressions are motivated by love. The spiritual path as an infinite game of life What if there is no particular destination to reach, but life is an endless game of growth, exploration, and expression? Would you not be able to take small steps every day? What if we accept the reality that all of our creations will disintegrate at some point? It must to since it is the natural order of life - death and rebirth. What then is the most important to you? For me, It matters what we learn as beings through all of the creation processes, something that will stay with us even when our physical body dies. Whatever our current circumstances are, there will always be an opportunity to learn. That is the law of nature. Have you read Victor Frankln's book, Man's Search for Meaning? He spent 30-odd years in German concentration camps. In the book, he beautifully encapsulates how a man can find meaning and purpose in even the most difficult circumstances, driving him to better himself and others around him. Those extreme experiences shaped him as a person and helped him improve his expression. So, how can we apply this knowledge positively in our lives? Take any scenario that presents itself as a challenge in our lives. Investigate what it is eliciting in us. Perhaps it is a negative emotion. Explore what we can learn and let go of. Explore what new qualities are emerging from the challenges. Maybe it's surrender, humility, or self-acceptance. Perhaps it's focus, willpower, and commitment. Consider what actions arise from this new beingness. Now, bring this positive expression into the world. It's my passion to offer my assistance to those who are on an awakening path.

- Overcoming the past, anchoring in the present
What makes us think about past events and wish they could have been different? What does the imagination bring us? Maybe it is some guilt or regret but there could also be some pleasurable feelings associated with it. In which case how does one go about overcoming them? First, we have to be clear with ourselves, we do want to overcome them. To be at that place, one must first allow these imaginations to take place without judgments and see how one feels about it. Does it make us sad, happy, exhausted, etc? Does it serve to be in that? At some point, we would realize that it's not worth going us down ultimately and not positively adding to life. If we are clear about the previous step, the best approach would be discipline. Every time the mind visions about the past, bring the attention towards the present and be clear that we dont want to give energy to the past. We can bring attention to the present by focusing on the breath and feeling the body's sensations such as the heart. In this way are anchoring our energy into the present. In this case, the mind quietens and can recede into the background. Now look for the feeling the quiet space brings - it could be stillness, lightness, relaxation. The more we do that with patience and persistence, the more we orient our lives positively and the mind stops interfering altogether and starts working positively in our lives.

- Naiharwa( Activational music with video)
This is a heart touching poetry and traditional Kabir Bhajan that I had been singing for a while, I thought it needed a video of its own. I feel called to create more such videos with music. Whenever I sing these songs, poeple have told me , it has been quite activational in helping them connect to their heart centre. So here it is, the first in the series - Sounds of Kabir - Naiharwa. In this poetry, Kabir speaks of the pain of separation from the divine(beloved) and how following your own inner guru(soul) can lead to the union with the divine. I'm sharing the poetry and the translation below. You can either close your eyes , relax and let the music do its job or open your eyes and let the visuals and the poetry take you on a different journey. Much love Vimal 🙏
