Becoming a friend of the universe
The realization that, like the sun, the mountains, and the trees, our truest nature is to serve all beings is a truth witnessed by all when the mind’s vision is not distorted by self-centeredness. One can endeavor to embody and make progress in this understanding—that the individual and the universe are one, even when one is in the pits of despair. However, the dawning of crystal-clear clarity in this regard is up to the universe. In the meantime striving for this understanding is the truest, surest path for contentment and peace.
Our daily question then is not “What should we do?” but “Who are we being?”—do our thoughts, words, and actions align with seeing the universe as our friend?
We usually consider such questions only during our darkest hours.
Saarathi’s goal is to employ innovation and technology to help people during such times.
Why
Having navigated through years and various seasons of despair due to mental health challenges and other things, I have come to understand that one of the most effective ways to begin the healing process and invite lasting joy into our lives is by gently shifting our focus from ourselves to the greater universe.
What
Shifting focus involves a sincere introspection of our connection with the universe, where we embrace the truth through actions that reflect this understanding. This may entail moving away from a self-centered perspective and cultivating a compassionate relationship with the universe, seeing it as a benevolent ally.
How
Thoughts, words, actions are the currencies of change. The interventions will focus on engaging in inverviews, conversations, sharing experiences, coaching, and training sessions all designed to cultivate a transformed human being, reflected in their behavior that arises from a sense of universality.
The Heart of Vishwamitra
Patience
Vishwamitra recognizes that life presents us with seasons of waiting, whether we are longing for a return to normalcy, the restoration of freedom, or the resumption of our daily routines. This period of waiting can evoke a mix of frustration, hopelessness, anger, sadness, and even a temptation to surrender, particularly when clear solutions elude us. However, within this uncertainty lies a valuable opportunity, albeit fraught with challenges, to nurture and develop patience.
Right View
Vishwamitra understands that our happiness and the happiness of those around us hinge on the presence of Right View, which is fundamentally an understanding grounded in facts rather than in delusion. She believes in the possibility of liberating ourselves from the suffering brought about by misguided perceptions. Right View transcends ideology, systems, or even pathways; it represents the profound insight we possess into the essence of life, a dynamic comprehension that imbues us with understanding, peace, and love.
Unity Consiousness
She perceives with clarity that a true and rational basis for action transcends a self-centered perspective. Dynamic in her ability to recognize, envision, and work towards the greater common good, she embodies this principle in every situation. Her deep understanding of her interconnectedness with the universe allows her to cultivate harmonious and peaceful thoughts in her heart, enabling her to address the challenges faced by larger systems.
