A SACRED PACT WITH THE DIVINE
I was exhausted and slept for 24 hrs straight.

If you stare at the blank screen, it’s not because of artist\’s block.
It is due to a lack of clarity.
I haven’t written for a while. Too much was going around.
Not writing felt like a crucial part of my day that was missing.
No matter how desperately I wanted to write, I couldn’t.
It would have been easy to label it as an artist block. But it wasn’t.
I had many things to share. There were so many that it was hard to pick just one at a time.
Knowing too much, using too much and doing too much brought me to a halt.
I was exhausted and slept for 24 hrs straight.
For 24 hrs, I was a sleeping member of this world.
The mind was exploding helplessly. I see the dreamy images of thoughts disappear as they appeared.
I wasn’t participating. Did I miss the life?
Not really. I was experiencing the Joy of missing out.
Fight is won by fight, peace is won by peace.
I gave up the fight against daily shenanigans. Made peace with the peace.
A sacred pact with the divine.
Our boundaries of knowledge are limited to the known world.
And we fight with ourselves and others to shape the reality around us, based on what we know.
Something tangible that people can acknowledge.
We were humbled by the fact that the world is yet to be discovered.
The world is always waiting to be discovered.
What we think the world is, is exactly what we think it is.
Thoughts are fantasies.
I ran two extra miles to find myself in the same place where I was.
The run, the chase and the goal were not worth it.
What is bound to happen will happen.
And what is about to happen is always a mystery.
We have grown to know every part of the physical world.
We have not grown humble enough to accept that we don’t understand it.
Can we acknowledge that it has changed ever since it was first found?
It continues to change as we speak.
Can mere discovery be granted as understanding?
Does science have answers to all the questions?
We try to steer our reality with reasoning.
Quantitative and Qualitative.
Quantitative rational reasoning can only limit us to what can be quantified.
Qualitative reasoning has a quality of empathy which goes beyond the boundaries of logic.
Science Searches. Spirituality Seeks.
Deep water is quiet, shallow water makes noise.
It’s better to know you are going nowhere than to struggle to understand where you are going.
Understanding brings puzzles. Knowing brings courage.
Your step towards nowhere is no step at all.
Be where you are.
What you need in the moment will come to you at the right time.
The human mind is not trained to withdraw from the vicious cycle of thoughts.
A monk has to train the mind to settle down.
Like a horse.
It is not natural for a horse to have a rider on its back.
His reflexes of being attacked by a predator are triggered when someone tries to mount on his back.
It is careful training and conditioning that make it possible to ride the horse.
Once done successfully, it is said that the horse is broken.
We have to break the mind.
All our lives, we have been told that the mind steers the wheel of life.
If it were true, everything we think and say would have come true.
Life would have been easy. Without conflicts and disappointment.
The “Law of attraction” book emphasizes the concept of manifestation strongly.
But, it doesn’t work the way they preach.
Life has its flow, spirituality has its path.
We are souls having this human experience.
You are in a very bad mood today, and yet you win the lottery.
You have all the wealth in the world, and yet you are unhappy.
What is happening biologically can not always be linked to spirituality.
Many people who stumbled upon the inventions and discoveries were clinically mad.
Many artists who created beauty in the world were crazy.
They manifested something beautiful in life.
Not because they were conscious of their mind, but they were conscious of the super-conscious.
The victory is not in controlling life.
True success is to accept the fact that there is something more significant than what we can comprehend.
That divine, the divine, is interfering in your life moment to moment.
And the conflicts and the disappointments in your life are nothing but your ego mind\’s interference with the superconsciousness.
How long can a dog bark at an elephant? The mind has to give up sooner or later.
Interestingly, you decide whether it is sooner or later. If not now may be in the next life.
The mind compels us to delay our confluence with the divine source of everything.
Source that is source of the source.
Everything that is in existence and everything that is yet to be born.
Everything tangible and non-tangible.
Once you set yourself free from the bondage of the mind, you are divine.
Without mind, you experience the joy of missing out.
Missing out on the competition you volunteered to join and feel bad if you lose.
Missing out on what is determined by the narcissistic leaders as right and wrong.
Missing out on the shallow, noisy stream of water.
Enjoy the joy of missing out on the riverbank.
It will take you to the depths of the vast, empty ocean within.
Remember when parents were not home and you were on your own with your siblings.
You must have explored your house in a deeper sense without no one there noticing what you are doing.
No one minds you.
No one is trying to fit you into the imaginary frames of perfection.
You are more than someone\’s son, daughter, wife, husband or whatever label you can come up with.
You were born into the role of family and society. Nonetheless, you don’t merely serve to be part of it.
You are not a slave. To anybody, not even your mind.
Let the light within scatter spontaneously.
And it is only possible when you step aside from your way.
You have been dragging yourself.
It is called surviving, not living.
Life happens from the moment you start to let go.
The crux of life and the meaning, and the purpose are not about what you can accumulate.
Spirituality begins with what you are willing to let go.
Are you willing to let go of everything? Even yourself?
Oh! Joy, missing out seems so expensive.
Who will be left to experience if the experiencer is not there?
The experience itself.
When you are not, it is.
When you are not, you are everything and everyone in the universe.
When you are not, you are the ultimate.
You are Love, bliss and happiness.
And this body is just a vessel.
The divine blows the stream of consciousness into it, and it starts to sing.
You have spent everything you had to get everything you never had.
Everything.
By not accumulating the fragments of gratification in the mall.
But becoming the source itself.
Have you ever asked the gods what they want? Nothing.
What you need is given. What is given to you is what you need.
In the very moment, moment to moment.
I was given the joy of missing out.
A break from my loathing of knowing too much and my unreasonable urge to share everything I know.
Firstly, it is impossible to know everything I know, even if you are married to me.
Secondly, it\’s not about sharing the information. It\’s about simplicity.
These writings are not meant to be an exhibition of knowledge.
For me, it is just an occasion to share my love and warmth with you.
I might be entertaining if we are lucky, but that is not the goal either.
There is no goal. And I am okay with it.
There is no agenda or syllabus that I want to teach someone.
We are fellow travelers, and sharing stories is a joy.
Like the wolves howl in the blue moonlight, they only convey the story.
I am here. Where are you? Oh, you are there, good to know.
Nothing changes until it changes, and nothing can be changed.
All that I have come to know is that there is no deliberate attempt to live a life.
I don’t want to drag myself and my beloved readers into a whirlpool of let’s do this, let’s do that.
There are too many people out there, so-called gurus, trying to teach people how to do things.
Life can’t be taught, it has to be learned.
Life can’t be remembered, you have to forgive and forget.
Forgive the conditioning and the people who paralyzed you with it.
Forget that you have ever learned anything.
What makes you ready for life is not the burden of knowledge.
But you are in this moment to see the moment to come unfold.
When you forget what you have learned, you will forget to teach.
When you forget about where you are going, you will remember where you come from.
From the vast empty nothingness within.
If something in these words echoed within you,
and you’re seeking clarity, peace, or deeper connection,
I offer Tarot Readings as sacred moments of reflection.
Not to predict the future, but to realign with your knowing.
When you’re ready, you’ll know.
