What if you’re not just a body, but a forgotten spark of the Divine? This soul-stirring article unravels why we lose touch with our true self in the chaos of life. Through emotional reflection and spiritual insight, it reveals the silent cry of your soul—trapped between God and the world. If you've ever felt lost, this is the truth your heart has been waiting to remember.
Have you ever felt as though something is missing when you glance in the mirror? As if your life, your hardships, and your physical appearance weren't the complete truth? You're not by yourself. Most of us have lost sight of our true selves in the midst of the craziness of contemporary life. We believe that we are nothing more than these experiences, this body, and this mind. What if you are more, though? What if you are a piece of God—pure, divine, and strong—but you are caught up in the world's delusion? The journey of the soul through the 24 components of nature, its fall, its forgetting, and its silent yearning to return to the light are all reflected in this article. This is both my tale and yours.
When the soul becomes entangled in the earthly world, it loses its radiance, much like a valuable gem buried in mud. Although the soul is divine—a part of God—it loses sight of its true nature when it becomes entangled in the web of identity, desires, ego, and the five senses. We scroll for hours on end these days, seeking approval and dreading stillness. We believe that our relationships, success, or beauty define who we are. The soul, however, remains concealed within, waiting to shine once again.
Taste, touch, pain, and pleasure are all provided by the body, yet it is not who we really are. But we hold on to it as though we wouldn't exist without it. Nowadays, the majority of souls have come to believe that their tale ends with their body. Because we believe that our bodies are all we have, we fear getting older, dying, and being rejected. However, the immortal witness, the soul, does not alter. The first step to awakening is realising this.
A cage of comfort is perilous. The soul no longer yearns for progress after becoming mired in habits, patterns, and comfort zones. It becomes numb. When was the last time you really stopped to think about your own life? When a soul doesn't work toward change, it begins to take delusions as fact. And the memory of divinity gradually disappears.
Does God cause your pain if all souls are a part of God? No. He lets you be awakened by both happy and terrible events. Suffering is not a kind of retribution. This alarm clock is beautiful. The failure, the heartache, and the betrayal are not curses. Invitations are what they are. We frequently call out to God when we are feeling hopeless. The soul recalls something deeper, as evidenced by that very cry. Something more elevated. That's where recovery starts.
True dharma is more than merely adhering to customs or ceremonies. It involves living in accordance with your divine identity and remembering it. It's showing compassion in a harsh world. It's looking for the truth in a noisy environment. Through dharma, even a soul that has forgotten its origin can find its way back. It resembles a compass indicating the direction to home. The soul that continues to walk in dharma gradually clears the dust and regains its brightness.
You can feel empty, worn out, or damaged. Your soul, however, isn't. There is brightness underneath the layers of pain, identity, struggle, and narratives. heavenly, eternal, and unending. Regardless of how far you've gone, there is a way back. A whisper, a quiet desire to discover your identity, is the first step. Take a listen. In a world obsessed with speed, pause. In a world addicted to noise, seek silence. In a world that tells you what you lack, remember what you already are—a soul, a spark, a part of God.
You are not the skin you wear,
Not the sorrow or the glare,
You are the breath, the still, the flame,
A soul forgotten, yet still the same.
May you rise, may you see,
What you were always meant to be.
God in motion, love so wide—
The soul that wandered now turns inside.
