My journey with reviving soul achieved initially thought objective to give me a direction, a sense of doing something as I fought with my anxieties. It leads to a beautiful discovery of inner faith and humility which ultimately made me realize one of my biggest dreams in life. I always desired to be a chef and baker and this year I took a step in this direction., Adversities or anxieties were there, but still with faith, support of the family and strong persevering desire to work kept me going in the right direction.

Earlier days it was more of insanity calls and hurts of losing this dream, which was a palpitating thought in my mind (my retrospection calls of the past, including the day of my father’s demise, the day when I wanted to leave life and lost all hopes, etc. This is my whole desire to completely accept my past and gone people for better…)

For quite a while I have been inconsistent with the blog work and I felt that ache of not able to write. Though the inconsistency is not caused by lethargy but indeed over-occupied schedule, which involved every core process (professional end and physical end) except reviving the soul (reading and writing). Amid this busy schedule, I got the time due to the lockdown. To my amazement, a tiny little creation that hopped from bats to humans, leads to such a pandemic situation that everyone around the globe is under lockdown. Initially, it terrified me but later I thought, “Oh! I should look for an opportunity in this crisis times”!

After my last post, Rendezvous with Mystic (1 & 2), something seemed to be covered in my life. Over the years I always had a keen, mystery unveiled a sort of, desire to capture the magical moments designed by mighty. Humour apart, this was a quest indeed of an unaware desire. I will put some more light in the end I promise.

So, the crisis time gave me time to read the book ‘Flowers on the path’ by Sadhguru. Since then I had this strong urge to write about it. To my amazement, I completed the book in the 1/3rd period of lockdown, which is not usual for a slow reader like me. I had my moments with it and those moments are the reason why I choose it for revupsoul. I was enthralled, and I was nostalgic, I got overwhelmed and suddenly I was telling my sister that if I can implement the gist of this book in my life, I would not only overcome my anxiety forever, but also I would be having a serenity to meet the energy I have been mysteriously looking for, over the years. This revelation was so strong that I found my self typing my thoughts on my laptop screen on its own, like I have to share this experience. I knew that God has listened to my prayers and healed me. He has not only given me the spirit to revive as well as poured dreams with his biggest fist.

P.S. I am telling my experience with this book solely, without any intention to propagate any idea or doctrine, etc. it is more like a diary of experience with a book, which enlightened my faith even more. The chapters of this book are taken from Sadhguru’s articles for the Speaking Tree column in Times of India Newspaper. Arundhathi Subhramaniam called these articles “a bouquet”.

…“and like flowers, they are essentially invitations. Invitations to follow a scent. A scent that teases, maddens and intoxicates. A scent that reminds one that life ar its deepest is not a puzzle to be solved, But a mystery to be experienced.    ”
