An ocean is not always calm waves Its true nature is full of powerful currents. It’s not about resistance of errant waves It is in surfing in the midst of it.
When you find your anchor, You realize it’s not anywhere but within you. Your deepest truth is your stillness in the movements; In it lies your strength of flexibility. That’s true resilience.
And remembering movements are unique in themselves, Like one tide to the next, Each carries its energy waves differently. Every storm is meant to teach a new lesson: To dance with chaos, You realize, is to yield and adapt to the flow.
When I look back at the past few years, it really feels like we have all been learning a brand-new dance right in the middle of complete chaos. There were moments when the waves felt so massive and came so fast that it was incredibly easy to feel totally overwhelmed. But there is a simple, beautiful truth about being in deep water: you have to swim. If you stop moving, you drown. And that is exactly what you have been doing. Think about it…even on the days when you felt like you had absolutely no energy left, or when you couldn’t see the shore anywhere on the horizon, you still kept moving. You kept breathing. You didn’t give up.
When you are right in the thick of a storm, something incredible happens inside you. You find a way to move not just in spite of the chaos, but entirely beyond it. You discover an inner rhythm you didn’t even know you had. You realize that the storm might be incredibly loud, but it doesn’t get to decide who you are. Real strength isn’t about being tough like a brick wall. If a wall faces a strong enough force, it eventually cracks and breaks. True resilience is much softer and more fluid than that. It’s the ability to look at the messiness of life and say, “Okay, this is what is happening right now. How do I move with it?”
Every struggle we’ve faced over these last few years hasn’t just been difficult. It has been a teacher. It showed us that we are far more flexible, far more capable, and so much stronger than we ever gave ourselves credit for. Each day brings a slightly different kind of challenge. No two storms feel exactly the same. One day it’s a sudden setback, the next it’s just a wave of heavy exhaustion. Each one carries its own unique energy, and each one is trying to show us something new about our own capacity.
When you find that quiet space inside your own mind…that beautiful bit of stillness that stays calm no matter how loud the world gets…you stop drowning. Adapting to the flow isn’t giving up or surrendering. It is actually the truest alignment of your power. It’s choosing to surf the wave instead of letting it crash over you.
So if you are feeling tired today, or if the water feels a bit rough around you right now, take a deep breath. Remember how far you have already come. You are already swimming. You are already dancing. Trust that inner stillness, keep moving with the flow, and know that you have everything you need inside you to make it to the other side.
When was the last time you felt the charismatic power of calm?
What does calm feel like to you in this moment?
What is the distance between you and your sense of serenity?
Where and how do you think you can find your center?
A Note on the Dawn
My morning moments hold a precious tranquility for me. I choose the dawn to set my intention for the day ahead. In the quiet moments before the world wakes, I find my creative state of flow. Although I strive to connect with this peace throughout the day, the energy of the early morning resonates most deeply. It sets the tone for everything that follows.
Awareness that you are searching for…the deliverance from all the so called inflictions and challenging circumstances you are experiencing…
Its all in the Space that you occupy. If the Earth element catches fire, its remains become ash. If water engulfs earth everything decays.
The more you resist and pull the greater is the entanglement. True liberation is from the clutches of ego in ignorance.
What does it take to the awareness of letting go completely? The ability to see beyond the temporary illusions of attachment takes profound faith.
For faith is all there is.Without it nothing is.
Interestingly I wrote this contemplation while reading ‘Gajendra Moksham story & Stotram .
Here is the story below
Gajendra Moksham is one of most spiritually significant stories in the Srimad Bhagavatam A story of divine intervention and total surrender.
The story is set in Mount Trikuta, where Gajendra, the majestic king of the elephant herd went to drink water from the lake and pick up the lotus for worship. There Makara a powerful crocodile clasped his leg… it’s said for 1000 years a fierce tug of war ensued . Inspite of Gajendras strength as he was in the water which was the crocodiles element he began to lose his strength.
The Realization
While family and friends tried their best to help in time they too couldn’t release him . As he grew exhausted trying Gajendra realised that his physical might nor his kin could save him.
And then in total surrender in faith he lifted a lotus flower towards heaven and offered a soul stirring prayer to God Vishnu. But instead of asking for life he asked for ultimate liberation from the clutches of ignorance.
God Vishnu hears sincere plea and with his (divine discus) Sudarshana Chakra swiftly severes the crocodiles head and pulls Gajendra to safety and grants him Moksha (salvation)
This is a story of complete trust in the power of faith and divine grace.
Space allows and restrains you all at the same time In this and every now, space is filled with infinite possibilities. Abundance and scarcity of potential is the truth in coexistence, shifting as you perceive space. Space is a dynamic in the fluidity.
Space is what you make of it.
As what you sense in space, stays in space
So what happens in space stays in space.
Space is filled with wonder. An expansive phenomena.
Feeling of space for you and I is deeply different.
Is there a divide at all between the physics and metaphysical space or is it actually interweaved & deeply interconnected.
Just a question of how open we are to understanding Space & the possibilities in its potential… Its all in around and beyond there.
