To serve the universe and the universe in return serving each of its beings. Including you. Because you are the universe too.           What if you have been created as the reason for a grain of rice to exist and persist. What if the grain of rice went through its entire journey only to realise its purpose of satiating your hunger.           What if a flute's purpose is to be played only through your lips and fingers and fill the world with its airy, light, poetic and mellow sound.           What if the purpose of that one dandelion is to grow only to be blown away by your breath and the purpose of its seeds as you blow them in the air is only to carry your thoughts, love, dreams and wishes to your loved ones.           What if you are the purpose of one cotton plant to exist. To evolve into a shirt that you would wear on your first date.           What if you were the purpose of a dog. To love you unconditionally till the end of time - its or yours.           What if you were the purpose of the small drop of water as it became a wave and then an ocean just so that you enjoy the vastness of the planet and the bigness of your dreams sailing on it.           What if you are the purpose of a honeybee's entire life to give you one spoon of honey for your weightloss regime every morning.           What if the purpose of a tree was actually to feed you over your lifetime and once you perish you become fodder for the same tree. So, you could feed yourself again in your next lifetime.           What if you are created for a book to honour its purpose of changing a life and setting you on the path of redemption.           What if you are the purpose of another human being who has been sent here to the planet to be your angel and guide and she serves her purpose by loving you unconditionally and helping you learn an important lesson in giving without expectations.           What if you are the universe where every worm, human, wolf, grain, shrub, fruit, rock, life, microorganism, cell, and bird has been created to serve you with abundant, unconditional love, and that's their purpose. What if you are in the universe and the universe is in you?                 The cheat code to being alive.                     Have a moonbath. Create bad art. Have a lunch date with a whacko.

Do everything. Do the things that they say you should not. Do the things you feel you should not. Do the things that shake the very foundation of the self-image you have created to be seen in a certain way. Do the things that trigger people. It’s not your job to walk on eggshells just because someone gets irritated by your childlike nature and authenticity. It’s theirs to deal with. Yours is to be joy.           Be free, fearless, playful, and magical.           Then surrender.           That's the only way to come alive.             Our upcoming retreats                         Jodhpur Sold Out 11th to 17th August     In a place of princely palaces and forts, travel back in time as we seek to relook into your life.
