We are all deeply conditioned to hold on to a certain image and carry that burden to our graves. Those like me, who are extremely bent on the creative side, usually have trouble settling with mediocrity. Some are brave enough to take a stand and choose to be naked, without worrying about the world.

Each soul has been programmed in a unique way, according to his or her purpose. Therefore, if you are meant to live a ‘normal’ life, you will be wired to live in a stable way. Most people we meet have a well defined character, not morally, but from an archetypal point of view.

As an artist, you eventually learn to distinguish between your instincts and what your soul desires. Only then, the real breakthrough occurs. It will happen, even if you don’t look forward to facing your true self.

A mystic is rooted in the unseen, hence, they remain detached from the physical. Sometimes manifesting as a beggar, and sometimes an animal. It’s all the same, when you know your Self.

When we are asleep, our soul possesses a body, then it tries to possess a personality, then material objects, a partner, and so on. This simply piles on layers and layers of information and the burden keeps getting heavier.

Once you turn within, you realise that you need to drop the facade. All this time, you were only in search of your Self, but were identifying with the wrong version.

The moment you merge with the One, you will see your Self everywhere.
