The Soul Diary

"Nātyaśnatas tu yogo 'sti na caikāntam anaśnataḥ, na cāti svapnaśīlasya jāgrato naiva cārjuna" (Bhagavad Gita 6.16)

"Yoga is not for one who eats too much or too little, nor for one who sleeps too much or too little, O Arjuna."

Since childhood, I have been a seeker—drawn to the mysticism of existence, the rhythm of Nature and the eternal truths woven into the cosmic order. The question, Who am I?  has echoed within me, not as a burden but as a doorway into the vastness of being.

Nature has been my scripture, her elements my silent Gurus. The mountains have taught me stillness, the rivers—surrender, the sun—tapasya, and the moon—serenity. The trees stand as timeless witnesses, the birds carry the whispers of the unseen and the oceans remind me of the depth of silence within. In their presence, I have learned to stay unattached—to witness the dance of life without getting lost in its rhythm.

As Sri Krishna reminds us, “Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ, ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā kartāham iti manyate” (Gita 3.27)—All actions are performed by the modes of Nature, but the deluded self thinks, "I am the doer."

I have come to see that life moves effortlessly when one learns to simply be—to witness, to flow and to surrender. There is a space within, untouched by thought or time. This is the true home, the eternal refuge. Tat Tvam Asi—You are That.

My spiritual journey has taken me to sacred places, where the presence of the Divine is tangible. The recent holy dip at Triveni Sangam during Maha Kumbh and my obeisance to Mahadev at Kashi were moments of deep purification, dissolving the little self into the vast current of the infinite.

"Yatra yatra mano yāti tatra tatra samādhiḥ" (Vivekachudamani 356)—Wherever the mind goes, let it rest in samadhi.

Life has been kind and grace—immeasurable.
