Wake Up! जाग पियारी अब का सोवै, रैन गयी दिन काहे को खोवै। जिन जागा तिन माणिक पाया, तैं बौरी सब सोय गँवाया। Today, we were about to release a surprise feature (which is now live on Android as well as iOS), and I was supposed to go for badminton at the same time. Initially, I thought going to play would affect the release. But honestly, that was just an excuse. I hadn't even examined whether it was true. I was ready to skip sports simply because my mind had presented a reason not to go. After a call and some discussion, I realised we could release the feature from the court too. And we did! There was no actual conflict between the two. The conflict was in my head. How often do we give up something meaningful without even examining the reasons "i" presents? We assume, we believe, and we obey. We don't even stop to look. Today, I went to play. I came back physically exhausted, yet refreshed. I've always loved sports. I was a state-level kabaddi player in school, but I'd never tried badminton before. Today was only my second day, and the resistance was still there. But I chose not to let it decide for me. And that makes me wonder: how much of life are we missing because we keep obeying this resistance? What else can we do with our time? Is scrolling really what we want to do with this life? We keep returning to what is familiar and comfortable, making excuses and mistaking them for genuine limitations. The sessions are helping me question what I would otherwise accept without examination. To see things as they are, rather than through the stories "i" tells me. In the last session, we discussed how a right fight can destroy us from within(dissolution). We can become so occupied with fighting the wrong battles that we fail to see what is actually happening. Today, I almost gave up something beautiful because of a conflict I hadn't even examined. And I feel so grateful for the people HE has brought into my life, people who keep holding up a mirror and helping me see what I would otherwise miss. "The bird must love only the sky." But how do we discover the sky if we keep protecting the cage? Drop the nonsense. See what is false, and stop carrying it merely because it is familiar. We want freedom, but we don't want to pay the price. Drop it. Just drop it. Today, it was just badminton. Tomorrow, it may be something far more significant. ये तो प्रेम की बात है उधो... 🙏 ------- ● अपने हृदय को अस्पर्शित रहने दो। Thank you, Acharya Ji. 🙏 Never imagined life could be this beautiful...
