May be this should have been yesterday’s post after all yesterday was #WorldWeirdo’s day. Yet the synchronicity happened today at a Teacher’s meet.
Okay, vulnerability time—and honestly, admitting this feels a little ridiculous, but here we are.
It started with a chain reaction today: my student Saket Raje dropping a LinkedIn musing about being able to contribute however, wherever, and whenever, followed right after by Vijay Sai mentioning Baba. That combo instantly dragged me back into a personal “experiment” I’ve been running behind the scenes.
Then, to top it all off, Dr. Yuvraj spoke today about the World Wide Web calling it World Wise Web– and finding our unique space. I still remember when his abundance talk felt like a distant, one-off eye-opener “once upon a time,” but hearing him talk about the web today hit differently. I mean, I didn’t create the internet, neither did I spin the spider’s and I certainly don’t own either of it, but somehow, it still carves out a little breathing room for me to just be and do my thing.
It made me realize how much time I waste agonizing over, “Which Guru is giving me a direct instruction?” when a much smarter question is staring me in the face: What kind of seva is already awkwardly tumbling out of my life and work?
Looking at the data I’ve accidentally stacked up:
- Sathya Sai keeps hovering around service.
- Sri Aurobindo won’t leave me alone about transformation.
- Mahesh Yogi is my go-to for not losing my mind (meditation).
- And my actual job? It keeps revolving around healing, teaching, behavior, emotional baggage, storytelling, and helping people through transitions instead of just slapping a band-aid on them.
Turns out, my path isn’t “go do textbook charity.” It’s much more specific: turning my weird mix of professional knowledge into a safe space where people can navigate hard transitions without losing themselves.
When you map it out, it all weirdly clicks:
- Doctor: Understands the physical mess.
- Hypnotherapist: Understands the inner chaos.
- Storyteller: Makes the chaos make sense.
- Teacher: Passes the notes along.
- Seva: Makes all of it useful to someone else.
I’m definitely not slapping a dramatic “Guru’s command” sticker on this just yet—mostly because I don’t need another thing to overcomplicate. But I am dropping one question into my journal:
If service is my path, what is uniquely mine to serve?
No grand visions required. I’m just going to pay attention to what keeps showing up—the people who wander in, the problems I keep noticing, and the work I can’t seem to stop creating in this little corner of the web.
Has a random string of conversations ever completely reframed a personal experiment you were running?
