The garden

Try to educate a child about holiness, or a teenager about the power of now. It is us who should take notes instead. No, the quest for spirituality kicks in one day, typically when things are not going the way they are supposed to. Anyone who asks shall receive answers. It has to for you are That.

I try to reflect on my journey and have to say that I have been on a quest all my life. I was depressed in my university years. I didn’t understand then that I had internalized my father’s struggle with bi-polar. I couldn’t wait to leave for my post-graduate work in the US leaving all that behind. I read a lot about spirituality then but it was only ten years later when my spiritual Awakening really kicked in.

I kept on reading other people’s insights. I started connecting with other like-minded friends in spiritual communities. In all the magic that I experienced, there was still a quest for something. So I kept searching for answers, and kept sharing my experiences and lessons learned in blogs, notes like these, and books that I started writing.

I have found what I was looking for. I have brought the inner pain body to the surface and now understand what drives me. I have experienced the ‘out-of-self’ state and the love that our sages talk about. There is nothing left to do but being, allowing life to flow through me just as light mirrors specific colors in different parts of the prism. Mine is a serene blue.

We are born perfect and can return to our origin whenever we do choose. We are that powerful. So if you feel like you are on a spiritual quest right now, keep knocking, you wife find the door wide open. We have only one mandate, being. Create something. Express your talents and passions and purpose shall find you. Build a Garden!
