"Perhaps it would be enough if some individuals became pure gold, for this would be enough to change the course of events"... "This courage, this heroism which the Divine wants of us, why not use it to fight against one's own difficulties, one's own imperfections, one's own obscurities?"

I was going through one of the toughest phases of my life but was unable to understand the nitty-gritties of how one must live in the grander scheme of things. I felt I wasn’t really getting anywhere, from a spiritual, emotional and a psychological context. I was full of fear and insecurities. I, albeit with my seemingly limited intellect, tried extremely hard to manipulate situations in order to forcefully carve my way through life and figure out my place in it, but to no avail.

I started to have regular one to one sessions and was soon introduced to the concept of “Complete Surrender.” We, as humans, have a tendency to be attached to materialistic things, situations and people. I learnt that by surrendering all that we cherish, including our very existence, fears, traumas and experiences of the past to the Divine Presence within; we can work towards a state of absolute liberation. 

I decided to integrate this concept in my life and in my outwards actions. Initially, it was an excruciatingly difficult process to carry out, but with a deep faith in the Divine, and trust in the process, I practiced surrender regularly. I kept my faith and continued to offer “myself” and “all that belongs to me” to the Divine.

And here lies the beauty of this approach: when there will not be a “me” left, and each and every trace of my existence will melt and merge with the supreme, only Divine’s Grace will remain. I would be able to carry out the Will of the Divine, as an instrument.

It was revealed to me that true liberation comes with a complete surrender to the Divine Presence within and not before that. 

During the beginning of lockdown, when I stopped going out, I connected more within. It was then that through a workshop called, Heal Yourself, I came in contact with Living Light. 

I watched the recordings of the session repeatedly as the things were explained in a very firm manner, which I resonated with. After that I came to know about the various weekly online sessions that are help under this initiative. I started attending some sessions, mainly Friday Study Circle, Savitri Study Circles and Prayers and Meditations started benefitting me a lot. 

I had doubts and questions about everyday life, I felt I had so many problems. But after attending these sessions, it was explained several times that problems are allowed by the Universe. Do not weave stories around your thoughts, rather meet the emotions and feelings and step back from these stories. This appealed to me a lot - I am more than my story. I took these two learnings as my Mantras. 

I took one-to-one sessions as well and I felt my attitude started changing. I am now approaching life without expectations and my life has become more joyous. I can now live life in more faith in Divine. I know I have a long way to go, but now I have a lot of confidence on this path. I love their approach of being firm, sweet, sincere and have a strong strengthening force. My heartfelt gratitude to the Divine. Thank you!

I love the open and non-judgmental space provided in these sessions to share and explore my inner turmoil.   

Monica and Taru lead the sessions with incredible insight and wisdom. Each talk has helped me gain more clarity and a greater sense of connection within. 

I feel empowered to face our daily issues and live more authentically. I definitely feel lighter and more at peace within.
