Reimagine Your Life Purpose
Leela Newsletter
Namaste everyone,
I hope you're feeling
safe, relaxed, and easy where you are.
As I shared in my last letter, it’s time for us to
reset and reimagine our energy.
It means showing up for
new realizations,
new steps, and
new moments.
It means that our soul will get ready to
unlearn how the mind and body were
taught to suffer,
how the mind and body were
systematically trained to live in the lack.
Speaking of lack, let's talk about purpose.
Let's talk about how life's purpose is
manipulated and missed by everyone around us.
If we were a seed, in these modern times,
the seed would be taught to look a certain way,
to grow a certain way.
Not to be thin and not to be too big.
Not to grow in this direction.
And always
compete, calculate, and indulge in
transactional relationships with others.
“I'll give you the trade if you give me this; I'll do this if you do that.”
I find it so sad.
But this is how we are trained to understand life's purpose.
The next few weeks are carrying a powerful frequency. If you become available to it, it will help you to tap into the purpose of life, the way Tantra has designed this magnificent arc to help us see life's purpose.
I would advise against joining a spiritual path
with a specific goal in mind,
as it can lead to frustration.
See, the problem is we are trained to think
we are incomplete;
we need to hustle,
we need to work hard,
we need to do this and that.
And as a result,
we study hard,
try to get the best grades,
try to get the best jobs, and
the trauma multiplies.
But unfortunately, you are made to feel that drama is life.
and life is drama.
We are made to feel
incomplete
as we are.
As a result, we want to find love externally
because we feel
it's not already within.
And when you fall in love, society says
love is not enough.
Now possess it, control it.
You then start to go deeper into possession and control.
When you eventually get marriage, the mind will say
marriage is not enough.
How will you live after the body dies?
You might feel the need to have children so that you leave behind a legacy and have a purpose, even if it's done unconsciously.
Play,
passion, and
living an intentional life
aren’t taught to us.
So you could continue to do things because others are doing it that way or they expect you to do it, but that's not how your life purpose unleashes itself.
I want to bring the concept of Leela, which means the play of life.
And Leela teaches us that life does not have a purpose.
Life is a purpose.
Because if you continue to seek your goals,
from the norms of society,
from conditioning and narratives placed on you,
then all you do is
jump from one race to another.
When you were in the race to
have a certain professional status,
achieve wealth,
creating your art with the
wrong intentions for some sort of name and fame,
that is one race.
And when you feel that
it’s not enough or feel that
it hasn’t brought you anything meaningful,
then you move on to the other race— which you call
yoga, meditation, tantra, and so on.
But there is rarely a difference between these two.
Because what needs to happen is knowing who you are.
When you know who you are,
you will know what to do.
When you know who you are,
you will automatically be assigned that dharma,
the life purpose
designed and destined for you.
This letter is a reminder to
invite more playfulness into your life.
To drop the overthinking and
come back to the present moment.
To show up for life itself.
Reflect on this note one more time and
watch what shifts for you.
And in my last letter, I mentioned that we had the Guru Purnima ritual.
So as a bonus gift, I'm attaching the video HERE of the entire ritual, which is a few hours for those interested in knowing what happens in these rituals.
For those of you wondering, “What do they look like?”
How do they feel like?
Here's the video for you to experience it.
You may enjoy listening, watching, or even meditating while it is happening.
The event was in English, Hindi, and Sanskrit.
And you will also see me speaking there.
I hope you enjoy it, and do let me know what you think of it.
With love,
Chandresh
