I never thought of writing on this topic, till recently a close relative of mine urged me to.

When I started my journey as a kid, I thought that my world constituted of only objects with physical forms. As I grew, I noticed that these physical objects gradually slipped like water from, in between my fingers. Permanent separations shattered me the most. Lives were lost. I learnt two things. First, grief and pain are very powerful teachers. And second, there is certainly something present beyond these physical forms. During this time, I felt the presence of a Guardian Angel. I started introspecting and soon realised that more I tried to possess things, more I was scared of losing them, more I tried to confine myself within a ‘self’, more I was threatened of getting it broken into pieces. It was then I started experimenting with ‘expansion’. It is tremendously difficult. It is like fighting with my ownself. Very slowly I started learning that actually ‘joy’ lies only in ‘selflessness’, only in ‘giving away’. However, ‘Giving’ does not entail only the material objects, it also means sharing my inner joy, warmth, happiness and knowledge with all people around me. It is only possible when I include others also within my ‘self’ and expand my world.

My Spiritual journey is a quest for eternal joy and life. They say, ‘ begin with faith, continue with conviction and end with realisation’. I am trying, and sure to reach the goal sooner or later
