LOVE'S SILENT RETURN: THE JOURNEY WITHIN

Love is not something we seek; it is something that seeks us. It’s the essence beneath every thought, every breath, every longing. Yet we often forget it. We become lost in the pursuit of success, validation, and external approval, thinking that love exists outside of us. But the truth is, love has always been here. It has never left us. We are, in fact, love in disguise—veiled by our fears, desires, and conditioning.

The inner struggle we face—the battle between the false self (the ego) and the true self (our essence)—is not about conquering the ego but about remembering. The ego is not our enemy; it is part of the unfolding. It is in the process of letting go, of seeing clearly, that love is revealed.

This journey is not about fixing what’s broken but about returning to the love that’s already within us. Each step, each struggle, is part of the slow unfolding of who we truly are. Even in moments of fear or pain, love is moving through us, waiting for us to soften and let go of the need for control.

We are not lost; we are simply in the process of remembering. Love is always present, in the spaces between thoughts, in the quiet moments of surrender. It doesn’t need to be earned or found—it only needs to be recognized.

If we could see ourselves
And the lives we live
In our struggle and pain
Through the eyes of the divine
All our troubles would melt into that love.

-------------------------

We shine our light
Not by becoming perfect
But by carrying our flaws
And our wounds
With tenderness and dignity
With humility and grace.

------------------------

Mind will struggle, argue, fight—
twist and turn, scream and rail,
clinging to life.

Without the discipline
to return, again and again, to silence—
to surrender the trickster ways of mind—
you will never know mastery.

You will always be waiting
for some magical moment
when it all happens by itself.

-------------------------

Your spirit is radiant beauty itself
Why do you diminish it
By standing in the way.

------------------------

It took me years to master my mind
And my emotional mind.
It didn’t happen suddenly,
In one blinding enlightenment moment.
It came through an endless willingness
To show up and surrender the one
Who felt aggrieved or righteous,
Threatened or almighty.

I had to meet the pain beneath the anger,
The fear behind the pride,
The child beneath the warrior.

Over and over,
I laid my stories at the altar of truth—
Not once, but a thousand times,
Until truth was the only one left standing.

No method saved me.
Only the quiet courage
To bow my head in the midst of pain,
And not flinch when everything I believed
Started to fall apart.

This is not the path of fireworks—
But of fire.
Not the path of escape—
But of embrace.

And now, when silence speaks,
I listen.
Not because I conquered the mind,
But because I stopped trying to win.

----------------------

When no answer satisfies the question, ‘Who am I?’
A door opens into the unknown
And a great falling takes place
That never stops.

-----------------------

We fight and struggle
Clinging to form, to ego, to self
Eventually we become weary and let go
Surrender happens
And we didn’t do anything.

----------------------

The world is not starved of love
It is starved of those 
Who are prepared to serve love
With every fiber of their being.
