The Divine within you

The search of the infinite and beyond...

We often have hard time seeing the divine within. Caught with all the definitions while growing up we always keep looking for it outside ourselves. We wait for the divine to come and save us from all the sufferings, rescue us from all that is unwanted.

Embrace your unique Divine expression

While waiting for the divine outside we often miss witnessing the different phases of divine that we go through in different phases of life..

As a Bengali girl we are very familiar with the phrase 'Rupe Lokhhi, Gune Saraswati", ( someone who looks like Goddess Laxmi and have knowledge like Goddess Saraswati). Now both these deities has their own distinct features created by human imagination. When a baby girl fail to fulfil these humanly created definition by Divine intervention. While she is still unaware of the fact that how God created each one of us with our own divine qualities and we keep perfecting, thriving our own uniqueness that we are born with. We are not meant to follow or fulfil the rules others set for us with their own level of understanding.

While constantly trying to be Laxmi and Saraswati , we in most of the situation miss knowing the Kali, Chandi, Tara and many other divine feminine phases that supports us to survive during our difficult times. Life constantly burden us with filling someone else's cup by looking and behaving and constantly trying to be like someone we are not happy being from our core.

There are so many phases where we stop liking the version of ourselves, forget about loving . We hide, we cry silently and constantly ask why me. Why I am failing to fit in to the crowd. And we keep training ourselves to fit into the crowd until the moment when we stop trying to fit in.

when you finally witness the whole Universe within...

The moment when we finally start the journey of discovering and rediscovering our true selves, we start liking every version of ourselves. We are now able to create the protective shield where criticism doesn't touch us anymore. We see how Divine mother created us in her own light. And with every ray of light we put one step towards removing the darkness.

Is this realization permanent??

I don't feel so. There are always times when we go back to our dark phases where we wish to hide from the world. Take a break. Recharge. But once this process of inner knowing of self touched, you know it is real. It can never be taken away from your reality.

You start cherishing, rejoicing and loving your true self. You witness the whole Universe within. You nurture the Divine within. You now see her in her full light and let the light flow through you to each life that cross your path.

Embracing the one who needs your acceptance the most. Until she gains the power to bloom.

you often wished to hide. But now you have learnt to rest and recharge while taking a pause from world.

Embrace her...

Embrace her in her full quirk. Be with her, dance with her, love and pamper her, witness the whole universe in her. Most importantly let her be free. Let her be herself. And never forget to tell her every now and then how much you love her. How grateful you are for her enormous courage to keep the show going. Look deep into her eyes when you see her reflection in the mirror. You are the Divine in your own self, with your own unique super power. Don't let anyone make you believe the other way.

You finally see her, nourish her and let her be free

Let me know if you have witnessed your divine self. And what did she tell you? Or what did you tell her when you first met her. And if you haven't already, let the journey of knowing your divine now...
