Ṣharaṇāgati : Surrender to the Divine Ṣharaṇāgati - Every Bhakt’s dilemma On the path of Love, the ego dissolves through Ṣharaṇāgati - surrender to the Divine. For many walking the path of devotion, the idea of surrender is beautiful yet baffling.  Every spiritual master preaching Bhakti, speaks of surrender. But what exactly is surrender? Is it being careless? Or is it being carefree? And in any case, how would anyone go about their daily life? There is work, there is family, there are social obligations. Who will handle these if I am supposed to surrender? Decoding the Ego Spirituality is not external behaviour. It is about internal perspective. Hence, Ṣharaṇāgati also is not just external surrender. It is surrendering the ego-based existence to the Divine. Our senses are always turned outwards, sharing signals with the brain. The brain identifies these signals and  tries to map them to familiar situations stored in memory. This triggers the mind, where ...

Just Be It. Existence over Action In today’s world, we are so deeply engrossed in the external that we often forget our core purpose. We’re always Doing —running, achieving, performing. But in that rush, we forget the simple yet profound importance of just Being . Life is a natural unfolding. We are born, we live, and we die. That is nature. Yet there is existence in every stage—even in death. The essence of nature is to exist . Our planet has simply existed for millions of years.

Nature holds all these forms, existing continuously since the beginning of creation. But we forget this simple truth. We complicate our lives by overemphasizing doing . We t...

Love The misunderstood idea of Love Love is the most undervalued and misunderstood truth in today’s world. Most people glorify only that form of love which is driven by physical attraction toward someone else. But love is not limited to that alone. Parental love, sibling love, love for nature, love for God—all of these are also forms of love. Yet no one talks about them. This love is taken for granted. Only the kind of love where the mind is ruled by physical attraction and pleasure, is glorified in the world. And that is because hardly anyone truly understands what love actually is. What is Love? I thought I knew love. But my love was always wanting — even from God. God showed me what true love is: By accepting me with all my faults By giving without expecting By staying — even when I had abandoned HIM. That is true love. Love which only HE is capable of. Love is not: Physical attraction An emotional high A poetic expression A dramatic act Love is: Sacrifice ...
