Inspiration to self realization

Inspiration is something which when imbibed in oneself allows a inner transformation from a place unknown to our intellect, unknown to the repetitiveness of our routine lifestyle, bringing forth the juice of inner trust, enthusiasm for life, overflowing joy in each moment, and the unmovable conviction in the divine.

Inspiration pierced into my life by reading stories of self realized beings such as Buddha, Krishna, and also their modern contemporaries. I found myself practicing tai chi, yoga and meditation from the comforts of my home. I then decided to take steps to practice vipassana meditation on a 10 day course, there was resistance from my family as they was unfamiliar with such things and were confused of what would become of me. In my heart, I felt a deep untruth in just living a pattern tailored by family, society and the human condition. Inspiration to seek for, what is truth? Who am I?, which Moved me from my very being, emotions, thoughts and actions. After taking a firm stand and following my intuition to go to the meditation course, energy flowed to areas of me which needed to be watered with wisdom and heartfelt experiences of one’s true nature. During this period videos, meetings and wisdom from modern day mystics inspired me to be led by my true nature whatever the circumstances.


I built the confidence in myself to follow inspiration and intuition in life to lead me to experiences where I truly learnt about my misguided self image and the “I” which is beyond just an individual, unknown to the intellect, the “I” which moves in unforeseen ways and which is the source of all experience. My inner conviction grew with travelling to India and meetings with yogi’s, sharing joy with the people, seeing the harmony in nature and seeing the goodness and divine nature in each and every being. I met people who would advise me on my worries even without me saying a word, was caught from falling off a ridge in the Himalayas, was told my destiny, and other remarkable happenings.

Inspiration for me has become the very heart of each of my actions, words and being. It allows expression of what is truly needed for our own self development and sharing our creativity and the joy of life in each and every moment and with each and every being ( be it animate or inanimate).

Inspiration comes from a place unknown and leads us to melt into the unknown. We may dance with inspiration, truly melting into the dancing and music. We may follow some activity or work which inspires us and allows us to contribute our creativity and joy with others. We may be inspired to practice meditation or change our lifestyle. Whatever we do, when it comes from the depth of the unknown it creates the transformation in our lives for learning from life in its every aspect. Each moment can be used to discover our unknown self, leaving behind our self made image (ego) to the boundless, infinite, and all encompassing nature of oneself which is ever-present.
