True spirituality, I’ve come to learn, is not about being certain. It is about being sincere. It is about the courage to ask what you were told not to ask, and the humility to admit you don’t know what you were told you had to know. As Socrates once said, “The more I learn, the less I realize I know” And when I finally let that truth in, something beautiful happened. I didn’t lose God. I lost the illusion of control.
Letting go of certitude has not been easy. There are still days when I miss the comfort of being told what to believe and how to think. There’s a strange safety in dogma. But I wouldn’t go back for anything. Because in this space of not knowing, I have found a deeper knowing. One that doesn’t come from books or doctrines or declarations, but from stillness, presence, and experience. I don’t need to be right anymore. I just want to be real.
And in that, I’ve found more freedom than certainty could ever offer. I’ve tasted a peace that doesn’t come from having the answers, but from being willing to live the questions.
Spiritual pride is seductive because it masquerades as devotion. But true devotion is not about convincing others you’ve found the light. It’s about embodying the kind of openness that makes space for all.
The moment I stopped needing to be right was the moment I became free to love. And to me, that’s what this whole journey is about. Not proving anything, but being everything I already am, beneath the labels, the beliefs, and the illusions of separateness.
So yes, it’s been scary at times. Yes, it’s felt like losing ground. But in truth, I’ve only ever lost the ground that was never mine to stand on. And in its place, I’ve found the vast and sacred mystery that I now call home.

I woke up missing the India I knew.
The one that was never perfect
but imperfectly good.
Where neighbors argued,
then shared chai.
Where women could speak
without being torn to pieces.
Where hate existed,
but wasn’t celebrated.
When government would fail us
We stood up, together.
We protested.
We cared.
Now, cruelty trends.
Kindness feels outdated.
And my generation
the one that should’ve known better
is louder in cruelty than in courage.
I miss my India.
The messy, imperfect one
that still had a heart ♥️

It is a privilege to create new public spaces, especially when they are wetlands that clean sewage and lakes
The first (and only) wetlands built by citizens in Delhi.
Check out the Hauz Khas Urban Wetlands on Google Maps by @IndiaEvolves@LtGovDelhi

@ranjitkmnair@misskaul@IndiaEvolves Fortunately the wetland we made in the inlet is almost impossible to destroy and @official_dda and their contractors now understand they make lake worse so while tender is still issued they dont add as much crap to the lake. So lake doesn't smell as much as it did.
Despite the efforts of 100s of #citizens who came together to clean & #revive this lake, DDA made a calculated & conscious decision to keep adding #fertilizers/metals/fruit peels (packaged in fancy bottles) to the lake
Our #constructedwetlands have kept cleaning
#silentsentinel
We are glad that our #wetlands have withstood ignorant & unmindful actions of DDA steadfastly, kept cleaning the incoming #Sewage without a hitch & thankfully all the work didnt go to #waste - #lake hasnt gone back to it's previous condition of a stinking mess
#saveenvironment
@bsebti@WorldBankWater@WorldBank@WorldResources Very true! @evolve_admin began working on this issue in India in 2010
We restored 16th century old Hauz Khas Lake in Delhi & created Hauz khas urban wetlands. Our incoming water channel filters dirty & pungent smelling water from a sewage treatment plant & keeps lake full & clean
Turning dirty stinking sewage drains that have plagued the public for over a decade into lush thriving wetland ecosystems
#constructedwetland#lakerevival
@LtGovDelhi when Hauz Khas lake was clean and nice due to wetlands built by citizens which removed nutrients. Then @official_dda paid contractor Kalpana Arora over 40 lakhs to add nitrogen fertilizer (nutrients) back to lake.
Talk about gross incompetence.
Learn how citizens outperformed the @official_dda@LtGovDelhi
And how DDA destroyed our work and then took credit for it.
DDA doesn't want clean lakes, it wants to issue tenders for eternity to add things like fertiliser to Delhi's lakes
