Why Only Those Who Dare to Be Brutally Authentic Find True Peace
Even if the path goes through pain.
It was 1:44 AM. My sleep again got disturbed.
Twisting and turning in my bed as I watch the night sky from my window. The darkness with a glint of light.
I again checked the time. 3 AM.
I wondered where all the time went.
I could not sleep. Maybe I am supposed to meditate. Maybe I should get up because I don't feel sleepy. Maybe I should just scroll and try to fall asleep again.
While in my chaotic thoughts, I slid my hand on the side of the pillow and pulled out my phone. I scrolled through social media. Feeding my eyes the blue rays and mind the garbage.
The top feed was from my ex-partner. It said, “When desires disappear, so do worries. The mind left free from trouble. He who doesn’t want anything is true king.”
These amazing spiritual words are of Saint Kabeer. Posted by my then-partner during the time when he repeatedly kicked my vulnerable and soft heart to be with an attractive lady.
We had been together for six years when he fell for her. Her entry made me an extra in our relationship.
