You are not mad

Image
  I want to share this not as a confession, but as a quiet offering to those who have once been lost in the same narrow fissure between the inner and the outer, between love and illusion, between belief and self-deception. I write it for anyone who has been swept away by signs, coincidences, dreams, inner “voices” that seem like whispers of fate, but lead to a place you later realize… was more your own pain than a divine message. I write it because no one speaks of this clearly enough: you can be completely sane and still have the world think you are mad. You can be completely honest and still be rejected as deceived. You can love deeply and still have your love appear as illusion to others. And it tears you apart. I want to say to anyone currently going through such an experience — you are not alone. You are not sick. And your sensitivity is not a defect; it is simply a place where the boundaries between worlds are thinner. When we fall in love with that peculiar, mystic...

Karma: A Path to Redemption, Healing, and Spiritual Growth

  Karma is a term often shrouded in misconceptions. Frequently perceived as a form of cosmic retribution or a means to exact punishment, karma is often portrayed as a lurking force that deals out slaps for wrongdoings. However, this perspective oversimplifies and distorts the true essence of karma, reducing it to a mere tool of vengeance. In reality, karma is much more profound and compassionate - a mechanism for redemption, healing, and spiritual growth. Rather than being a punitive force, karma offers a sacred opportunity to make amends, clear past missteps, and ultimately return to a state of unity with the Divine. Understanding Karma Beyond Punishment At its core, karma is not about punishment. It does not operate with a vindictive spirit, nor does it seek to inflict harm for the sake of justice. Instead, karma functions as a spiritual mirror, reflecting back to us the energies we have put into the world. These reflections are not meant to condemn but to enlighten, guiding us t...

Karmic Payback: Here and Now

  The concept of "instant karma," where one experiences the consequences of their actions immediately, is a fascinating topic that has intrigued people across cultures and centuries. Rooted in ancient spiritual traditions, the idea suggests that the universe responds swiftly to our deeds, rewarding the good and punishing the bad. The German proverb, "God punishes small sins immediately," echoes this belief, highlighting the notion that no action goes unnoticed by the divine forces governing the moral order of the world. Instant Karma: The Concept and Its Significance The term "instant karma" popularized by John Lennon in his 1970 song, refers to the immediate repercussions of one's actions. It aligns closely with the Hindu and Buddhist concept of Prarabdha Karma , which is the portion of past karma that is currently being experienced. Unlike other forms of karma that may manifest in future lives, Prarabdha karma is seen as the karma that is ripe and re...

The Gift of Self-Reflection: Insights from a Sea Retreat

 Each year, my annual journey to the sea is more than just a getaway—it's a profound experience that offers unforgettable moments and invaluable life lessons. The sea has always been a mirror, reflecting back to me the essence of who I am, offering a form of self-remembrance that is both humbling and enlightening. This year was particularly special. It presented an opportunity to see myself from an external perspective. Rather than delving into specific details and events, I aim to share the internal journey—my feelings, reflections, and realizations as I navigated through various situations. Life's lessons often come in stages, much like a school curriculum. First, there's the theoretical introduction, laying a philosophical foundation. Soon after, life presents a test to see if these lessons have been truly integrated and can be applied in practical situations. This year at the sea, I encountered such a test. I've always had a persistent desire to observe myself objec...
