From Darkness to Light: A Reflection on Goenka Guruji’s Discourse on the Four Types of Souls As Expounded by Lord Buddha!

There are moments in life when we pause and look at the people around us : some are blessed with abundance and peace, while others struggling through endless challenges and I wonder, why such stark differences?

Why do only some use their gifts to grow in light, while others sink deeper into the shadows despite having everything?

Recently, while reflecting on life’s contrasts, I recalled and revisited a beautiful timeless discourse by Goenka Guruji that I heard when I attended Vipassana 10 days courses, and it is based on the profound teachings of the Lord Buddha about the Four Types of Souls (or beings) who take birth on this Earth — and how their actions (kamma) determine the direction of their destiny.

Each soul, he said, is defined not merely by its birth, but by the direction it chooses to move in — towards light or darkness.

This understanding is both humbling and illuminating. It helps us see life not through the lens of wealth, birth, or circumstances alone, but through the movement of consciousness — the inner evolution that determines destiny.

Guruji explains that every being on Mother Gaia belongs to one of four categories — depending not on their external circumstances, but on the direction of their consciousness.

The Four Types of Souls:

1. Born in Darkness and Proceeding Towards Darkness:

These are souls who face difficulties and suffering from the very start — physical illness, poverty, emotional turmoil, or family strife.

Beings who, already burdened by past unwholesome actions, take birth in adversity and continue to act under ignorance and defilements. They remain trapped in cycles of anger, greed, deceit, jealousy, or violence — deepening their karmic darkness. Instead of learning from pain, they react to it, creating even more suffering for themselves and others. Instead of cultivating wisdom from their hardship, they allow bitterness, anger, and hatred to rule their hearts and make choices accordingly. They blame others for their misery, planting more seeds of negativity, ensuring that darkness multiplies in their future as well.

Their present is misery - They are born in darkness, and their future too remains bound in deeper darkness — a tragic spiral that continues until awareness arises in some future life. 

Personally, if I were to give an example of this category, it would be Adolf Hitler.

Though his early life was marked by pain, rejection, and hardship, instead of transforming that suffering into compassion or wisdom, he allowed hatred and delusion to consume him. His choices brought immense suffering — not just to others, but to his own soul.

He stands as a reminder of how unhealed inner darkness, when combined with power and ego, can lead to catastrophic consequences for oneself and for the world.

2. Born in Light but Proceeding Towards Darkness:

Some souls are born into comfort, privilege, and opportunity. These souls begin life in favorable conditions with good fortune — good families, opportunity, education, wealth, status, beauty, comfort/ luxuries, thus their lives begin in brightness — all fruits of wholesome past-life kammas. 

Though born in light, they move towards darkness — an unfortunate reversal of the soul’s evolution. By making unwholesome choices, they begin to exhaust the merits of their past lives and accumulate new burdens for future ones.

Despite being surrounded by light, they allow ego, greed, or delusion to guide their choices. Somewhere along the way, Temptations through Desire, Lust, Aversions (Illusions) — the Three daughters of Mara, as Buddha described — distracts them and successfully takes hold of their consciousness. 

They become enamored by sense pleasures, power, or self-importance, and lose touch with Dhamma.

Their inner compass weakens, and slowly, the light of wisdom fades.

Lacking wisdom and humility, they become arrogant and lose sight of Dhamma.

The brightness of their birth blinds them; ego, greed, power and indulgence replace compassion and gratitude. They misuse their knowledge, wealth, or influence, gradually exhausting their accumulated merits. Thus, they exhaust their past merits and create new seeds of suffering — falling from light into darkness.

This is what Goenka Guruji meant when he spoke of “souls who are in light but proceed towards darkness.” It captures those who are blessed with intelligence, opportunity, power and influence, but whose choices — driven by ego, pride, greed or delusion — lead to immense suffering for themselves and others.

A profound example of this is Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, the brilliant physicist who led the creation of the atomic bomb during the Manhattan Project. Although he did not drop the bomb himself, his creation made it possible. In that moment, humanity’s brightest scientific minds also unleashed one of its darkest chapters.

Later in life, Oppenheimer expressed deep remorse and introspection over the consequences of his work, famously recalling the Bhagavad Gita:

“Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.”

His life stands as a haunting reminder of how brilliance without wisdom can turn light into darkness — how intellect, when unanchored from compassion, can become an instrument of suffering.

3. Born in Darkness but Proceeding Towards Light:

This is the most inspiring category. 

These are the true heroes and exemplify integrity and spirituality.

Born in early challenging and unfavourable circumstances — perhaps into poverty, sickness, abuse, adversity, harships, loss, deprivations or ignorance, but they do not curse fate or harbour anger, resentment and jealousy. These beings nevertheless awaken to the Dhamma and make conscious choices to generate light, compassion, and positive karma.

Through suffering, they gain humility and wisdom. They begin to question life’s purpose, seek truth, and align their actions with compassion and mindfulness.

Their journey is inspiring: from the weight of suffering to the deliberate creation of goodness in the world.

They meet the Dhamma, or awaken through their own wisdom, and begin to understand:

“This hardship has come from my own past kammas. May I not create anymore suffering for myself or others from this point onwards.”

With love, compassion, and self-awareness, they transform their darkness into light.

Their present may be painful, but their future shines bright — for they have changed the direction of their soul’s journey through their awareness and choices.

By transforming pain into insight and darkness into understanding, they reverse the current of karma.

Their journey may be difficult, but each step is luminous. They are born in darkness, yet proceed towards light — symbols of hope for all who seek redemption and awakening.

A shining example in India is Dr. B. R. Ambedkar - The Father of Constitution Of India

Born in darkness: Ambedkar was born into a marginalized Dalit family in British India, facing severe social discrimination, poverty, and exclusion. His early life was full of hardships and systemic oppression.

Proceeding toward light: Despite these adversities, he didnt let bitterness take place in his heart but instead pursued education relentlessly, eventually earning doctorates from Columbia University and the London School of Economics. He became a champion of social justice, architected the Indian Constitution, and worked tirelessly to uplift the oppressed. His life reflects conscious effort, wisdom, and moral courage that transformed personal suffering into a force for collective enlightenment.

Dr B.R. Ambedkar’s life exemplifies how souls born in darkness can consciously cultivate light — not only for themselves but for entire communities. He reminds us that adversity, when met with wisdom and perseverance, can become a powerful catalyst for spiritual and social illumination.

4. Born in Light and Proceeding Towards Light

These are beings who, due to past-life merits, take birth in favorable circumstances — in loving families, with good education, health, and opportunities.

They are surrounded by abundance, loving families, education, opportunities, comfort, and noble influences, yet they walk the path of humility, service, and righteousness. But most importantly, they recognize the preciousness of Dhamma when they encounter it. They understand that all worldly joys are temporary and  recognizing that their present brightness is the result of past meritorious deeds, and instead of wasting it on ego or indulgence, they use their abundance to uplift others. These are souls who not only enjoy comfort, wealth, love, and happiness in this lifetime but wisely utilise the fruits of their past good kamma for themselves becoming blessings for others as well. They live with gratitude, humility, and compassion, planting new seeds of brightness for lifetimes to come.

They continue walking the path of righteousness, compassion, meditation, and wisdom — thus using their good fortune to evolve further.

Such souls are like flames that keep rising higher, turning their blessings into service and spiritual growth.

From brightness, they move towards more brightness — expanding the light within and around them, the true progression of an awakened being.

Shining examples include Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi and J. R. D. Tata

Swami Vivekananda, born into a well-off and intellectually nurturing family in 19th century India, could have enjoyed a life of comfort. Instead, he chose the path of spiritual awakening and service, bringing Vedanta and yoga to the world stage. Through his teachings, speeches, and personal example, he inspired millions to live a life of courage, selfless service, and higher purpose.

Gandhiji, born into a respected family and educated as a barrister in London, could have easily lived a life of comfort and prestige. Instead, he renounced material privileges and dedicated himself to the pursuit of truth (Satya) and nonviolence (Ahimsa). His moral courage and compassion transformed not only a nation’s destiny but also the conscience of humanity. Gandhi’s light illuminated millions of lives — proof that true brightness multiplies when guided by humility and higher purpose.

Similarly, J. R. D. Tata, born into privilege, wealth and influence, lived a life defined not by luxury but by service. Born into privilege and wealth, he could easily have led a life of luxury and detachment from the struggles of the common man. Yet he chose to dedicate his life to nation-building and human welfare. Under his leadership, the Tata group pioneered countless employee-welfare measures, promoted women’s employment, and upheld ethics and integrity as sacred principles in business.

As an industrialist, he humanized the world of business — introducing labor welfare, women’s empowerment, and ethical corporate practices long before they became global ideals. His life reminds us that privilege becomes sacred when turned into compassion.

Swami Vivekanand's, Gandhiji's and J. R. D. Tata’s life were a journey from brightness to greater brightness — Souls who used their blessings and fortune to create light for others. 

Swami Vivekanand, Gandhiji and J. R. D. Tata exemplify what Goenka Guruji and Lord Buddha meant — souls born in light, who consciously continue walking towards greater light. They show us that enlightenment is not only confined to renouncing the world and living in monasteries or meditation halls, but can also be lived through karma yoga — conscious action, integrity, compassion, and service to humanity by engaging with life selflessly, turning privilege into purpose, and transforming prosperity into compassion.

Goenka Guruji’s Teaching

As Goenka Guruji beautifully summarizes:

“The Buddha said: I see four types of people in this world —

those running from darkness to darkness,

those running from brightness to darkness,

those running from darkness to brightness,

and those running from brightness to brightness.

One is one’s own master; one is the master of one’s own future.

The present is the child of the past, but the future is the child of the present.

Develop brightness within. Let your present be full of Dhamma,

and your future will naturally be full of happiness.”

— S. N. Goenka

My own Reflection Upon The Mirror of Dhamma:

When I reflect upon this teaching, I see how truly it mirrors the world around us.

Everywhere, we meet people who fall into these four categories — the ever-evolving, the declining, the awakening, and the lost.

And yet, none of these are fixed. Buddha never taught condemnation — only transformation.

At any moment, with awareness and right effort, a being can turn from darkness to light.

The Dhamma is that bridge.

Even one moment of insight, one sincere act of compassion, can begin reversing the tide of lifetimes and it is never too late to reflect inwards and grow upwards in our thoughts, words and actions, it is just a matter of choice and resolution

With Dhamma, At Any Moment, a Soul Can Turn from Darkness to Light

One of the most powerful examples of transformation in the Buddha’s teachings is Angulimala. Born into a troubled life and driven by malicious rumors, Angulimala became an outlaw and vowed to kill a thousand people. He kept count by taking a finger from each victim, earning the name “Finger-Garland.”

Even as he became the terror of the countryside, the Buddha intervened — not with force, but with wisdom and compassion. Angulimala’s confrontation with the Buddha became the turning point of his life. The Buddha explained:

“I have stopped. It is you who have not stopped.”

These words from The Enlightened One broke through the fog of Angulimala’s mind. He surrendered his weapons, sought guidance in meditation, and began cultivating love, patience, and moral conduct. Over time, he transformed from a fearsome murderer into a compassionate, mindful, and peaceful individual, devoted to helping others.

Angulimala’s story reminds us: no matter how far someone has fallen, no matter how much darkness surrounds them, the potential for light always exists. Awareness, guidance, and conscious effort can help a being course-correct, cultivate compassion, and evolve spiritually.

Even a soul that has caused immense suffering — like Angulimala, who had taken countless lives — can choose transformation. The Dhamma is that bridge: it allows us to consciously move from darkness to light, from ignorance and harm to wisdom, compassion, and freedom.

This example is especially inspiring when reflecting on our own lives. If a man capable of such ruthless killings and destruction could turn into a a liberated Arahat (Saint/Siddha) in that very life, then at any moment, we too have the capacity to recognize our mistakes, align with Dhamma, and consciously proceed toward light.

As I observe life and people’s journeys — including my own — I realize how beautifully compassionate this teaching is.

This discourse reminds me that our external situations don’t define us — our choices do.

We cannot control whether we are born in brightness or darkness, but we can always choose which direction we move toward.

That choice — made moment by moment, thought by thought — is what defines the evolution of the soul.

Whether our lives begin in light or in shadow, the Dhamma gives us the power to change direction.

The past may not be in our hands, but the present moment is — and that present moment contains the seed of all future brightness.

These Teachings doesn’t label our  consciousness, it invites us to see that consciousness is ever changing and ever evolving, helping us to become aware and make conscious choice to grow towards light.

It reminds us that being “born in light” or “darkness” is merely the starting point — what defines us is the direction we choose.

Every act of mindfulness, kindness, and self-awareness moves us towards light.

And every moment of ego, deceit, or greed pulls us back towards shadow.

The choice — in every breath, thought, and action — is ours.

In the End…

The four types of souls are not four types of people — they are four states of consciousness that coexist within all of us.

At different stages of life, we might experience all four.

The Dhamma simply shows us the way back — from darkness to light, from ignorance to wisdom, from bondage to liberation.

So today, I pray —

May I walk from darkness towards light.

May I honor my karmic gifts and learn from my karmic lessons.

And may I never forget that the ultimate light lies within each one of us - to never brand or label any being / soul because we all have the potential seed of Bodhi in each soul

As Guruji says:

“Be master of the present. Let your present be full of Dhamma — and the future will be full of happiness.”

May all beings be happy.

May all beings be liberated.

Miraculous Pecision In Timings Of Messages!

I often wonder — how is this even possible!

That just when I begin to feel low, heavy-hearted, or emotionally unsettled, the exact antidote message that's exactly for the situation  I am facing, appears right before me — through a YouTube suggestion, a song, a short video, or a line that feels as though it was placed there just for me.

It’s almost unbelievable, yet it has become a way of life — a sacred rhythm of guidance that never fails.

Every time I stumble into doubt or sadness, the Universe seems to whisper, “I’ve got your back child!”

And thanks to the Divine, I find myself bouncing back — faster, lighter, and stronger than before — each time life tries to pull me down.

Abundant Gratitude Universe Supreme!

When Angel Number 222 and The Legend of Fuyao Brought Messages From My Father & Ancestors as Best Diwali Gift on Dhanteras

Yesterday night, I was about to make a payment to a priest for the offerings he had made on our behalf. As I was entering the amount, instead of a rounded number, the figure 222 suddenly flashed in my mind — clear, insistent, almost as if signalled by an unseen hand.

Trusting my intuition, I transferred Rs. 222 and sent him the screenshot.

I didn’t think much of it at the time, but just today, I am being made to realize that the number conveyed through intuition yesterday night actually carried a divine telepathic message.

For the past few days, I’ve been revisiting scenes from one of my all-time favorite Chinese dramas — The Legend of Fuyao. 

https://drracchanadfadia.blogspot.com/2025/10/dont-you-worry-divine-reply-from-maa-in.html

And today morning, I again felt a strong inner nudge to watch a very specific scene from The Legend of Fuyao: Episode 62, at the timestamp 17:17.

In that moment of the series, Fuyao is about to make a fatal mistake — a decision that could cost her life. Out of nowhere, her beloved Uncle Zhou reappears and saves her. What’s deeply moving is that Uncle Zhou had seemingly passed away long ago. Fuyao had believed he was gone forever, yet here he was returning at the exact moment she needed him the most.

As Fuyao breaks down, she tells him how exhausting her journey has been - the pain, the losses, the betrayals, the loneliness. She confesses how many times she had wished to return to the peaceful and carefree days spent with Uncle Zhou at Mt. Mystic Soul, where he had raised her like a father, protected from the wilderness and ways of the world.

Uncle Zhou listens and then gently reveals that, even after his death, he has always been by her side, watching over her, protecting her silently through every hardship and trial. He tells her that he never interfered with her free will but always looked out for her, the way only a father could and now took great pride to see all her triumphs!

Fuyao replies with tears, “If being able to see you again means going through all those hardships, then it was all worth it.”

That line pierced my heart as it resonated with my own feelings....After recently having recalled the Tears of Blood from my Father's eyes in a dream I saw within just few days of his passing away, I couldn’t help but wish the same — if only I could see my father again in good health and spirit, every pain would feel worth it!

After I was done watching this scene, a little while later, as I checked my phone, a YouTube Short popped up. My heart skipped a beat when I saw what was written boldly on the screen —  “Message From A Past Loved One? 222”

The message channelled by a psychic medium, is specifically from a past loved one and it said:

 

“Even though they are not with you anymore physically speaking, but they are with you spiritually and They have already moved on to a beautiful place in a Higher Realm, in a Higher Dimension they are watching over you, they are making sure that you are on the right path, that you don't make fatal mistakes that can jeopardize your life, They love you so much, and they are telling you to keep moving forward on your path, you are doing amazing, they are proud of you, and they love you so much”

As I listened to these words, tears welled up in my eyes. It felt as though the universe had gently connected every dot — the number 222 that flashed in my mind last night, the inner urge this morning to revisit the Father–Daughter reunion scene from The Legend of Fuyao, and now this YouTube message echoing the exact same emotions.

It felt like a message — a message from my Papa and my ancestors — flowing through synchronicity, spirit, and divine timing.

There have been moments when I’ve questioned my choices, wondering whether I’m truly on the right path. But this message felt like divine reassurance — a loving confirmation that the choices made from my heart have indeed been right ones, ones that have made my Papa and my ancestors proud of me.

Recently, our family narrowly escaped what could have been a fatal mistake — a deceitful builder’s attempt to trap us in a fake property deal through dummy buyers. Looking back, I know we were protected by unseen hands. Just as Uncle Zhou intervened to save Fuyao from danger, I truly feel that my Papa’s spirit and our ancestors intervened to save us from walking into another trap.

And today, on Dhanteras, receiving this divine message,

“I have reached a better place and am always watching over you, making sure you don’t make any fatal mistake that can jeopardize your life”

feels like the most precious Diwali gift I could ever receive.

My heart overflows with gratitude — for my Papa, my ancestors, and the higher powers that continue to guide and protect us through unseen yet unmistakable signs.

Dear Papa, Dear Ancestors, Thank you for letting me know you are at peace, You all are always with us and that I am doing well and you are proud of me! 

Papa, the journey since your passing has been tougher, filled with challenges, betrayals, and lessons. But knowing you are in a higher, beautiful realm — guiding and protecting us — fills my heart with calm and courage.

This Dhanteras, I have received the best Diwali Gift of most valuable wealth for my spirits!

Your message — that you all are safe, free, and still by our side — is my richest blessing.

Thank you, Divine, for your signs, synchronicities, and for taking care of our loved ones — both here on Earth and beyond the veil. Thankyou for making us realise that,

“Even when you think you walk alone, your loved ones in Spirit are still by your side — guiding, loving, and protecting you in ways you can’t yet see.”

Is Justice So Cheap for Criminals??? Outrage After Bail in the Pansare Case!!!

Just now, I read that the Hon’ble Bombay High Court has granted bail to the prime accused in the murder of senior social activist Govind Pansare.

My heart sank! I feel So ANGRY!!!

This wasn’t a secretive crime done under the cover of darkness — it happened in broad daylight. 

An elderly couple, returning home from their morning walk, were shot at close range. The brazenness of the act and the ease with which the accused now walks free send chills down my spine.

How easy it seems for some criminals to buy and / or bend justice???

How casual the entire process appears when the victims are gone and cannot speak for themselves about the immense pain they suffered at the hands of their killers???

💔 Can the Guardians of Justice Truly Empathize???

Sometimes I wonder — do those who declare judgments in the courts of Law, ever pause for a moment and imagine if the victim were their own child, their spouse, their parent?

If they had to face the same horror, the same sleepless nights, the same helpless rage — would the interpretation of “BAIL” and “Benefit of Doubt” still feel so light?

Justice is meant to be blind, yes — but not heartless. Empathy should be its eyes.

Every time such a decision is made, it doesn’t just affect one case — it shakes the very faith of ordinary people in the system meant to protect them.

For the families of victims, for witnesses who live in fear, for citizens who still believe in the rule of law — this isn’t just a headline - It feels like Betrayal.

Each time justice is delayed, diluted, or denied, something dark is born within society.

The birth of monsters doesn’t happen overnight — it begins when injustice becomes a routine way of life!

When the innocent are silenced and the criminals - guilty walk free, anger turns into hopelessness, hopelessness turns into rage, and slowly, the moral fabric of humanity begins to rot.

⚖️ Justice — No Longer a Right, But a Luxury?

Justice today feels less like a sacred right and more like a luxury — a privilege reserved for those who can afford to buy it.

What was once meant to be the foundation of a civilized society — “justice and equality for all” — is slowly morphing into a marketplace where influence, connections, and money often decide the outcome.

Behind polished courtroom language and legal technicalities lies an uncomfortable truth: the scales of justice are too often tipped by the weight of wealth and power.

The highest-paid counsels are hired not to uncover truth, but to outsmart it — to find loopholes, to delay, to manipulate the system until exhaustion replaces hope.

Meanwhile, the innocent, the poor, and the underprivileged continue to wait for their turn to be heard — unheard, unseen, and unprotected — as justice becomes a toy in the hands of a few privileged!

When that happens, society doesn’t just lose trust in its courts; it loses faith in its own conscience. People begin to believe that integrity is pointless, that only money and influence can buy safety, dignity, or justice. 

And slowly, the collective moral compass tilts — more and more people start chasing wealth by hook or by crook, because life has taught them a bitter lesson: in a world where truth doesn’t pay, deception becomes currency.

When English law — drafted by exploiters centuries ago — is merely emulated without adaptation or critical thinking, the result can be catastrophic. Courts can end up protecting the accused and justifying the liberty of murderers and rapists more than safeguarding the victims, unintentionally feeding the very evil they are meant to restrain.

Anticipatory bail was originally intended for situations where someone might be falsely accused of a crime without prima facie evidence. Today, however, it is routinely exploited: rapists and murderers often walk free immediately after committing heinous crimes, fully confident they will escape justice, while the actual cases drag on for years with victims and families left to endure the ordeal.

There is something not quite right in the way these laws were enacted, applied, and interpreted — and the system is crying out for urgent reforms now.

And yet, even in this despair, I still hold a fragile hope — that Divine Justice will not remain silent forever. Because when human systems fail, a higher law takes over — one that no money, power, or manipulation can escape!

Until then, all we can do is keep speaking, keep questioning, and keep reminding the world that justice — real justice — is sacred, not for sale.

When a court allows a person accused of such a brutal public crime to walk free on bail, it feels as though the scales of justice are tipping in the wrong direction. 

For victims’ families, for communities who live in fear, and for anyone who believes in accountability, this is not just a legal decision — it is a moral wound.

I am furious — not because I wish harm on anyone, but because the institutions we trust to protect us sometimes appear to treat public safety and evidence as negotiable.

If the judiciary truly understood the pain of families who lost loved ones to violence in some way or the other, would such decisions feel so justifiable?

If courts are to remain the guardians of justice, then public scrutiny — calm, persistent, and fact-based — must follow every decision that affects the safety of ordinary citizens. Justice is not an abstract ideal; it is the heartbeat of civil life. 

We owe this not only to the memory of the lives lost but also to the safety of those still with us.

When an elderly social activist is murdered in broad daylight, society expects only one thing from its justice system: Quick decisive action.

So when a court grants bail to a prime accused in such a case, the consequence is not merely legal — it is a loss of faith.

How we, as citizens, respond to such decisions will determine whether our institutions protect us or leave us vulnerable to fear and impunity.

Monsters Are Not Born Evil — They Are Forged in the Fire of Injustice: They Are A Byproduct of a Justice System That Delays, Dilutes, and Denies the Cry of the Innocent!

Each time injustice is allowed to pass unchecked, something darker takes root in our collective psyche. Every time a victim’s cry goes unheard, or an accused walks free despite clear evidence, the moral fabric of society tears a little more.

The birth of monsters in our world — those who choose violence, hatred, and cruelty — is often the direct offspring of systemic injustice. When law and conscience are silenced, despair and anger fill the void. It is not just the crime itself that wounds us — it’s the ease with which accountability is evaded, the indifference of those in power, and the coldness of the process that follows. These are the conditions that nurture bitterness, revenge, and hopelessness.

The chilling murder of Govind Pansare — an elderly, compassionate social activist — and the news of bail being granted to the prime accused feel like fresh blows to our collective faith in justice.

When people see this pattern repeating, trust in the system withers — and cynicism grows stronger. If justice systems fail to correct the wrongs of the powerful and fail to protect the weak, they unwittingly help create the very darkness they claim to fight.

That is why accountability is sacred.

Without it, monsters are not just born — they multiply by leaps and bounds, growing bolder, angrier, and more ruthless.

When people lose faith in the law, they may feel compelled to take justice into their own hands, rather than rely on the slim chances of fairness from man-made courts.

Yearning for Divine Justice: A Cry of the Heart Amid the Suffering of Our Times

Lately, I’ve been feeling an unbearable heaviness in my heart — a deep sadness that words can hardly capture. Everywhere I look, it feels like the world is drenched in pain and injustice.

The tragic deaths of Sushant Singh Rajput, Disha Salian, Alan Yu Menglong, the horrifying Texas incident involving the beheading of an Indian man, and even the many humanitarian crises like the Syrian conflict, Wars between countries and so much more — each of these events leaves me shaken and heartbroken. They remind me of how fragile life becomes when Ego takes control of hearts and minds, and how often innocence becomes the victim of cruelty, greed, and darkness.

It isn’t just what I see on the news — it’s also what I’ve personally lived through. The struggle to get justice for my Papa has made me experience firsthand how unjust and insensitive the world can be. Sometimes it all feels too much — like the pain of humanity itself seeps into my soul. I question to myself in solitude - "Is there an end to this? What is the world turning into? Why so much pain and atrocity on the innocent?”

How did we lose our compassion, our conscience, our humanity?

And yet… amid all this sorrow, one flame of hope continues to burn within me.

I hold onto the recently heard words of Yogiraj SatGurunath Siddhanath, declaring that Shri Kalki Avatar  aka The Buddha Maitreya aka The Imaam Mahdi — the Divine Redeemer — has already taken birth, and that the world may witness confirmation of this truth by 2032.

Something in my heart leaps at this thought — as if my soul yearns that the time for divine justice be reeled in asap! 

It feels like the Earth herself, Mother Gaia, has been crying out for balance, for purification, for truth to return. And perhaps, in the divine scheme, there will be complete cleansing before renewal.

Yes, it hurts to witness so much pain. But these words from the wise sages help me remember that a higher plan is unfolding — that somewhere, quietly, Divine Justice is preparing to reveal itself — & I find strength and solace.

So eager to see that day — when truth rises above lies, when compassion dissolves cruelty, and when the cries of all troubled souls, living or departed, are finally heard.

Until then, I pray for strength, for faith, and for the courage for all innocent beings - to hang in there, keep walking the path of truth — holding onto light even when surrounded by darkness!

Don’t You Worry”: A Divine Reply from Maa in the Midst of My Tears

It just happened — moments ago.

I was watching a few scenes from The Legend of Fu Yao, one of my most beloved dramas, when suddenly, a wave of emotions hit me. 

The Strength of a Fearless Spirit - Endurings Of Betrayal Without Giving Into Bitterness!

The story’s depth, its echoes of destiny and courage, brought flashbacks from my own life — faces, places, moments. People who once walked beside me and drifted away. Those I had to leave behind. The kind-hearted ones, the eccentric ones, the painful endings and silent goodbyes.

It all came rushing back at once, and a deep heaviness filled my heart. I cried — not out of self-pity, but from the sheer intensity of everything I’ve lived through.

Still teary-eyed, I began my evening prayers. I looked at Maa’s image on my mobile screen and whispered softly, “Maa, why was I ever born on Earth? This pain is so heavy to carry.”

And right in the middle of my prayer — as if the Universe wanted to respond instantly — a YouTube Short notification popped up at the top of my screen. It read:

“Don’t You Worry.”

I froze. My heart knew. This is Maa speaking through a Channel/ Medium.

I clicked on the video. It was by Lovely  Angel Psychic Erika, and she received divine message as this song:

“More than you ask, think, or imagine,

According to His power,

He is working it out,

He’s working it out...

So don’t you worry,

No, don’t you worry...”

As those words flowed through the screen, my tears turned to warmth. I could feel the message vibrating through my being — as if the Divine Mother herself had chosen this exact moment, this exact medium, to comfort me.

All the heaviness I had been feeling moments before began to lift. My heart whispered back, “Thank You, Maa… I hear You.”

It was such a simple moment — a phone screen, a random video, a few gentle lyrics — yet it carried the unmistakable touch of grace.

I realized again that the Divine truly speaks in mysterious ways. Sometimes through silence, sometimes through strangers, sometimes through something as unexpected as a YouTube notification.

And tonight, Maa chose to reach me through a song — to say, “I’m working it all out. You’re safe. Don’t you worry.”

Now the tears that flow are not of pain, but of peace — tears of joy — because my heart knows:

I was never alone, and I never will be.

Tears of Joy: Realizing I Was Never Alone — The Invisible Forces That Protected Me All Along

Just two hours ago,  a YouTube video was uploaded and that moved me to my core. It felt like the Universe had handpicked it for me — a divine validation of my deepest inner knowing. The speaker’s words echoed everything my soul had been whispering all along: that every challenge, every betrayal, every heartbreak I endured was not meant to destroy me, but to fortify me from within.

For the longest time, I carried the weight of pain and disbelief — wondering why life seemed to turn on me when all I did was love, trust, and give. But today, as I listened to that message, something inside me shifted completely.

I realized that I was never alone. Through every sleepless night and silent tear, invisible yet supremely powerful forces were holding me, guiding me, and protecting me. Even when I couldn’t see the bigger picture, my soul was being prepared — strengthened, purified, and made ready for a higher purpose.

What once brought tears of sorrow now brings tears of gratitude. The tears that used to fall in despair are now tears of joy — the kind that come when you finally understand the sacred design behind your journey.

I feel immense gratitude for finding my tribe — a collective of souls who, too, have walked through darkness only to discover light. We may have different stories, but our essence is the same: we are the ones who were tested not to fail, but to rise.

Every trial, every betrayal, every loss was an initiation — a divine alchemy turning pain into wisdom, loneliness into faith, and wounds into wings.

Today, I bow to those invisible forces, to the lessons that shaped me, and to the light that never left my side — even when I couldn’t see it.

This short video also resonated completely to my life and every word Dr Neeti Kaushik speaks is so relevant to how I have felt and experienced the world outside of me!

And it was the message supposedly from Mother Teresa that always made me choose light over darkness, compassion over bitterness despite situations and people trying to pressurize me into becoming that I am not!

And Boy! What a divinely timely synchronistic message of Maa Kaali!

I am soooooooooooo glad I always listened to my innermost voice and chose what felt right!

Insight Through Pain - Lessons From Past - My Dark Night Of The Soul Chapter!

There are phases in life that test you to the core — times when everything you believed about love, friendship, and loyalty comes crashing down. My darkest phase was one such chapter, filled with betrayals from people I trusted blindly, cared for deeply, and treated as my own family.

I once had two sisters as my close friends - both of whom I believed were my soul-sisters and one of them was also a practicing lawyer in the Hon. Bombay High Court. Their elder brother and sister-in-law were  also Hon. Bombay High Court lawyers as well. 

Our bond was deep: we shared meals, laughter, took short trips, celebrated together, had family moments and cared for each other’s families like our own! We even shared our worries and we were very close - almost inseparable! I stood by them and their family as though they were my own. In return, I thought I was safe in their care and support. But life had a harsh lesson waiting for me that I now realise today only!

When I was going through the toughest phase of my life, I naturally turned to my closest friends for help. When I and my family had become entangled in legal and property issues, I naturally turned to my best friends being lawyers. I placed my complete faith in their professional guidance. I showed them every document, trusted their counsel and advice wholeheartedly, and believed that being Law professionals - and as people who loved me - they would protect my interests like their own and steer me right. But now, after I began studying law myself, the reality hits me hard and hardest! 

Despite being experienced lawyers, they never advised me to collect solid evidence that could stand in court or safeguard my rights — something any legal mind would consider essential. I being a layman, didnt know the nitty-gritty of court rooms, but they surely did! Looking back, I can now see how my blind trust and emotional attachment clouded my discernment.

In a way, they witnessed my career and peace of mind crumble, yet never once imagined that one day, as a dermatologist who later turned to law, I would gain the insight and knowledge to uncover the truth behind their actions. The shock of that realization cut deep — not just because of the betrayal itself, but because it came from those who had once spoken the language of love and justice.

But years later, now, studying law myself and understanding how things actually work, I see how profoundly my trust and love had been misplaced. What I once believed to be genuine support now, in hindsight, is exposed as a painful betrayal akin to back-stabs. 

Realizing that someone trained to uphold justice could let a friend  like-one's-own-family go down despite knowing how to have saved friend and her family from doom, has so deeply shook my faith in people now! In these personal and legal challenges, I discovered that the very people I trusted most had been silently working against me — manipulating situations, misusing my trust, and taking advantage of my kindness. The pain is indescribable. It feels like the ground beneath my feet disappeared!

I cant stop asking myself: How could people I loved so deeply, people I defended and supported, turn against me so cruelly?

But slowly, amid the unbearable pain, I began to understand something profound:

Trust is sacred, and giving it blindly — without discernment — is not love; it is self-abandonment.

 During my journey of healing, I had come across a profound line "Insight Through Pain" coined  by Sir Michael Bernard Beckwith that deeply resonates with above experiences. 

He speaks of two distinct ways we gain insight in life — through pain or through wisdom of others - The Kensho and Satori Perspective - a Japanese philosophy!

Kensho  represents insight through pain — those moments when life’s challenges, heartbreaks, and betrayals shake us so deeply that we are forced to awaken. It’s when suffering becomes the teacher that pushes us to evolve.

Satori, on the other hand, represents growth through the wisdom of others - serious resolve to evolve  through  gentle yet powerful flashes of realization that come through meditation, reflection, study, or divine guidance. These are our “a-ha” moments — the enlightenment that lifts us to higher consciousness without the sting of pain.

Looking back, I can see that this phase of my life that ushered in the Dark Night Of the Soul  — filled with betrayals, heartbreak, and disillusionment — were my Kensho moments. They have burnt away all my illusions, tested my faith, strengthened me internally and stripped away everything that wasn’t authentic. Pain became the catalyst for clarity. Perhaps I wasn’t ready to learn through gentler insights, so life sent me lessons wrapped in fire — jolts powerful enough to shake me up and awaken me. But I am done now. I bow to those lessons with gratitude and pray that from here onward, my growth unfolds through love, light, and wisdom, not suffering.

Through meditation, introspection, and divine alignment, I am moving into Satori — a space of inner insight where I no longer need pain to teach me. Instead, awareness, peace, and faith have become my new teachers and companions.

Both paths are sacred. Pain opens our eyes; insight opens our hearts. Together, they guide us toward our true nature — resilient, wise, and divinely protected.

Lessons This Phase Taught Me

Love Doesn’t Mean Losing Yourself

Caring deeply for others is beautiful, but when your kindness turns into self-neglect and you allow toxic people to be around you, it becomes dangerous. You can love people and still protect your boundaries.

Discernment Is a Spiritual Gift

Not everyone who smiles at you and talks sweet words wishes you well. Life will keep sending lessons until you learn to listen to your intuition and recognize the subtle red flags you once ignored.

Betrayal  Is a Mirror

It shows us where we have over-given, over-trusted, or refused to see reality. As painful as it is, betrayal can purify us of illusions.

Faith in Humanity Must Begin With Faith in Self

I used to think losing faith in others was the worst thing that could happen. But I realized what’s worse is losing faith in yourself. When you rebuild that inner trust, you begin to attract people who reflect your strength, not your wounds.

Let Pain Become Purpose

My heartbreak didn’t end my story — it redirected it. I learned to channel the pain into self-awareness, prayer, challenges that fuelled my inner strength and meditation. Slowly, the anger and frustration turned into wisdom, and the grief became compassion — for myself first.

These experiences all the more made me closer and closer to Divine and making me reflect deeply on  "The Four Noble Truths" taught by the Great Enlightened one - Lord Buddha!

Alan Yu Menglong’s Tragic Death in China – Another Sushant Singh Rajput in Entertainment Industry – Truth, Rumours, and the Spiritual Lessons from Lord Buddha’s Maha Mangal Sutta That Made Me Reflect Deeply!

Just a couple of days ago, while I was casually searching for clips of the Chinese drama Eternal Love on YouTube, I stumbled across something that shook me to the core. The news of Alan Yu Menglong, just 37 years old, passing away suddenly and mysteriously. Yu played the brother of Yang Mi’s character "Bai Qian" in Eternal Love, a role that had etched him deeply into the hearts of viewers across the world.

 At first, I thought it might be another celebrity hoax. But as I dug deeper, the reality emerged: Yu Menglong had indeed died after falling from a building in Beijing. His studio and police confirmed the news, and his mother later stated it was an accidental fall, possibly after drinking.

 

And yet, the story didn’t end there.

According to official reports:

• Yu Menglong died on September 11, 2025, after falling from a friend’s apartment building.
• Police ruled out criminal involvement.
• His mother called it an accident, saying alcohol might have played a role.

But online, a much darker picture is circulating:

• Allegations that he was murdered, tortured, or pressured by powerful forces.
• Screenshots of alleged messages where Yu said, “They may kill me anytime… money transferred to me is dirty.”
• Claims that social media posts about his death are being deleted or censored.

Yu Menglong Death: Lawyer Claims Doubts Around Investigation, Says 'If There Really Was Evidence Tampering...'

Whether fact or fabrication, these rumours have spread fast — because fans feel the official narrative leaves too many unanswered questions.

In this post, the author says that Alan Yu Menglong had totally given up his freedom and sovereignty to some Media company in China before he was signed up for the company and hence he could not leave that company despite feeling suffocated!  

Is This Another Same Painful Reminder of Sushant Singh Rajput - With Suspected Political Associations???

As I read more, I couldn’t help but be reminded of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death in India. A similar story:

• Young, gifted, humble actors from a modest background, adored by millions.
• Sudden and shocking death.
• Allegations of foul play, cover-ups, silenced voices.
• Fans grieving not just the loss, but the unanswered “why.”
• Suspected Political associations

And even the shocking facts about Disha Salian's death just before Sushant Singh Rajput!

All of them, Alan Yu Menglong , Sushant Singh Rajput and Disha Salian shared qualities that made them beloved: talented, charming, hardworking, good-hearted, innocent, rising to fame quickly. And perhaps — tragically — but all may have shared the burden of being caught in bad company, toxic power circles, and ego-driven environments that suffocate sensitive souls.

Seeing the plight of so many good people being harassed in various walks of life, and myself still grieving the shocking news of Yu Menglong’s sudden death, I found myself in deep frustration and sorrow. In my grief, I couldn’t stop wondering: what karma must have brought these events upon such innocent victims?

Feeling shocked and depressed, I turned to the internet with the age-old question that humanity has asked for centuries:

“Why do bad things happen to good people?”

The answers I came across gave me much to reflect upon. One post struck me to the core, in particular: it said to the effect that,

"Often, it is our ignorance or recklessness in our associations that brings us into danger. Sometimes, out of peer pressure, ambition, dependency, or a false sense of status, we align ourselves with people whose values are completely different from ours. Such company can bring not only pain but also grave danger, especially when those people are driven by ego, jealousy, greed or vindictiveness"

And this mismatch can bring danger.

This thought echoed a teaching of Lord Buddha in the Maha Mangal Sutta, which emphasizes the importance of keeping the right company:

• Stay away from fools and harmful influences.
• Seek the company of the wise and spiritually awakened.
• Stay in good place (that is earned by past life merits)
• Avoid intoxicants (alcohol, substances and drugs affecting consciousness levels)
• Abstain from evil (actions and people)
• Practice Self-control and chastity
• Reflect deeply on the Four Noble Truths

It’s a reminder that the company we keep can be as crucial to our wellbeing as our own intentions.

This also reminded me of other striking similarities in the role of intoxicants and parties between all recent tragic deaths.

Yu Menglong is said to have been at a party with drinks the night before his fall. 

Disha Salian, closely linked to Sushant’s case, too was reported to have attended a party involving intoxicants and alcohol. 

And Sushant himself, according to claims, was pushed into using hashish under peer pressure from his then-girlfriend and brother-in-law.

Avoid the Traps of Sensory Enticements - Choose Restrain & Contentment

Here, the words of Lord Buddha in the Maha Mangal Sutta ring with timeless relevance. The Blessed One clearly advises us to avoid and abstain from evil people, intoxicating drinks, practice self-control and chastity, and reflect deeply on the Four Noble Truths. These are not simply personal disciplines, but shields against situations that can make one vulnerable to manipulation, downfall, and avoidable tragedy.

Manipulative people often exploit our attachments to pleasures of the five senses — enticing us through wealth, fame, food, drink, or even relationships — to control, distract, or exploit us. As Lord Buddha taught, such attachments can cloud judgment, weaken discernment, and lead us away from our higher purpose.

By staying aware of these subtle traps, remaining content (albeit progressive in organic manner) and self- restrain, we can choose paths that truly nourish the soul rather than being lured into deception, co-dependency, or harm. Cultivating mindfulness, meditation, and a clear inner compass allows us to see beyond the glitter and maintain sovereignty over our mind, body, and spirit.

Among the thirty-eight blessings described in the Sutta, the conclusion is striking: one who abides by these blessings is “victorious everywhere” and succeeds in all their goals. It is as if the Buddha foresaw how intoxicants and reckless associations could become gateways to destruction, while restraint and wisdom pave the way to victory and lasting peace.

MahaMangal Sutta With Hindi Translation Subtitles :

The Illusion of Fame-Power and Proximity

Many times, people associate with the famous and the powerful — hoping that by staying close to them, or by remaining in their good books, they can benefit from their position, influence, or reach. It can give a temporary feeling of strength or importance, as if some of their power rubs off on us through association.

But this illusion can be extremely dangerous. If these powerful individuals are not aligned with Divine principles, truth, and values, their power becomes destructive rather than protective. The moment their self-interest is threatened, such people can sacrifice anyone — even those closest to them — for their gain or to protect their image.

In darker cases, if one happens to see, hear, or witness things they wish to keep hidden — their “cannot-afford-to-have-even-a-single-proof” secrets — they may go to any extent to silence or eliminate that threat. History and real life are full of such examples.

This is why discernment, integrity, and spiritual grounding are far more valuable than mere connections with the powerful. It’s better to walk alone in truth than to walk with those who have lost their conscience.

Maybe, just maybe if Alan Yu Menglong did not give up his sovereignty to anybody in the hopes of name and fame, he may have been alive today!

Alan Yu Menglong’s, Sushant Singh Rajput's & Disha Salian's painful and unfortunate sudden passing with unanswered questions leaves us with grief, confusion, and suspicion. The truth may or may not ever be fully known. But what it certainly leaves us with is reflection:

• To remember that life is fragile and uncertain.
• To question the systems around us that hide or twist truth.
• To protect our own paths by choosing wisely the people we trust, work with, and draw influence from.
• To live with compassion, because often the kindest people carry the heaviest unseen burdens.
• To Never Trade Freedom for any shiny object or any wealth of the world!!!

And perhaps most importantly: when we experience red flags from any individual, we must choose to let go of that and instead choose (those who / that which) to nurture our soul — instead of holding onto the shortcuts to artificial enrichment or co-dependency driven by greed and lust.

The Silent Fear: When Good Souls Sense Danger

Another common thread between Yu Menglong, Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput is chilling: all of them seemed to sense that their lives were in danger.

• Yu Menglong is said to have sent messages indicating he was being threatened, that money forced upon him was “dirty,” and that “they may kill me anytime.”
• Disha Salian also sent some messages to her contacts as per sources
• Sushant too, according to many close accounts, had confided fears of being watched, controlled, and harmed. He had changed his sims multiple times in just few days before his painful passing away.

For sensitive, innocent souls in power-driven, exploitative environments, this is not rare. Many sense danger before anything happens, but often they lack the right support system to protect them.

If these tragic stories teach us anything, it is that awareness and support are not luxuries, but necessities. To avoid such situations, here are lessons we can all take:

1.    Trust Red Flags Early

When your intuition /inner voice signals danger through repeated patterns — whether through controlling / toxic behavior, threats, manipulation, or coercion — listen. Don’t dismiss intuition.

2.    Avoid Isolation

Dangerous people often thrive by isolating their targets. Build and maintain a circle of trustworthy reliable and loyal friends, family, mentors, or spiritual guides, who can see what you might not. Keep them close.

3.    Stay Away from Intoxicants

As Lord Buddha taught in the Maha Mangal Sutta, intoxicants cloud judgment and weaken self-control, making one vulnerable to exploitation and peer pressure.

4.    Seek Wise Counsel

Surround yourself with people of values, integrity, and spiritual grounding. Stay in company of those with spiritual wisdom, integrity, and values. Just as bad company accelerates downfall, good company provides clarity, courage, and resilience.

5.    Document and Share Concerns

If feeling threatened, speak up, document, and confide in trusted people and document what is happening. Silence and secrecy empower abusers. Maintain a Daily Diary and at the least write down most important events on paper, inform your confidante about the place where you keep such a diary.

6.    Choose Soul-Nurturing Paths : Avoid shortcuts, greed, artificial enrichment, and toxic co-dependencies born of greed or lust.  Seek those who and that which truly uplifts your spirit and Cultivate Impeccable Bond with Higher Self and Intuition Through Meditation 

The surest way to do this is by going within. Regular meditation clears the clouds of doubt and fear, aligning our inner compass with the Divine and our higher Self. This inner GPS gently but powerfully guides us toward the right people, the right choices, and the right circumstances — while helping us sense and step away from danger or manipulation before it’s too late.

7.    And Last But Not the Least - MAINTAIN The Delicate Balance Between Ambition and Discernment - Learn to Say "NO" when it does not feel right in your heart!   

Ambition is not wrong — in fact, it is the fire that drives growth, creativity, and achievement. But ambition without discernment can become a trap. 

Be ambitious, but with clear judgment and discernment about whom to associate with and whom to avoid. 

Do not get so carried away by the glamour and shine of people who repeatedly show red flags, that by the time you realize it, you are already trapped in their chakravyuh — a one-way maze of regret, manipulation, and loss of freedom. In such circles, the danger of becoming mere puppets of unconscientious people is very real. 

So yes, be ambitious — but ambitious enough to retain sovereignty over your own mind, body, and spirit. That is the kind of ambition Lord Buddha’s teachings point us towards: one that nurtures inner strength, clarity, and freedom, rather than ensnaring us in the glitter of false company.

 

The Wisdom of Good Losses vs. Bad Losses

Being a life-Long Learner with varied interests, I once attended a seminar on the stock market where I learned about Good Losses and Bad Losses. Investors are taught that it is always wiser to cut losses early and walk away at the slightest inkling that the market trend is not in one’s favor.

Through personal experiences, I have come to realise that Life, too, works on the same principle. Even if a loss has already occurred, the moment we gain clarity that a relationship, friendship, or situation is not moving in the right direction, it is far wiser to cut those losses and move on. These are Good Losses — the kind that preserve our peace, self-respect, and alignment with truth.It is always better to cut out the losses in relationships and friendships that show signs of betrayals, lies, toxicity, suffocation, manipulation, deliberate lies, mistreatment, unhealthy comparisons, or competitiveness - The list is endless — but our gut feeling never lies, especially when we are centered in spiritual practices and connected to our Higher Self and the Divine.

But the Bad Losses are those where, out of greed, fear, attachment, or FOMO (fear of missing out), we keep staying stuck — hoping to recover what is gone, ignoring our soul’s warning signs, and sinking deeper into a spiral of compounded pain and abuses.

Our soul never lies. When we are connected through meditation, prayer, and self-reflection, we can clearly sense when something is no longer right for us. Acting on that clarity — even when it hurts in the short term — is what saves us from far greater suffering later.

This is not just theory for me; it is lived truth. My father and family once failed to discern red flags early on in a property deal, that led to my Father's manipulated legal murder - wherein I was made totally helpless in saving him despite myself being a Covid treating Doctor - this was to break my spine and defeat my morals after I had refused to withdraw a criminal FIR against influential lobby. That placed me in ongoing legal battles. I have consciously set aside my career and prospects — not out of defeat, but out of commitment to pursue justice for my father’s soul.

I cannot forget the dream I had of my father just within days after his passing — he was crying tears of Blood. That image of his pain, the betrayal by those he blindly trusted, and the injustice done to him keeps fuelling the fire in my belly to go on, no matter how long it takes.

The price he paid for continuing to trust manipulative people despite clear red flags, ignoring signs, and allowing lies to continue deepening roots in close contacts and in business deals was unbearably high, ultimately making him lose his life in an unnatural manner 

That very pain is my reminder - and now  become my strength and my message to others: never ignore the red flags, never compromise your inner voice, and never allow yourself to remain bound by the snares of deceitful unscrupulous people, cut out losses and walk out at slightest of gut feelings of being taken for a ride - that it is always wiser to walk away from unhealthy bonds than to remain trapped in them until it’s too late to be free.

As I thought more, I was reminded of a Hindi and Gujarati saying: 

“Kaashi me bhi kauvve kaale hote hai.”

Even in the holiest of places, the crows are still black. 

In other words, no matter where we go in the world, the same patterns exist — power struggles, rat races, human emotions of greed, FOMO, fear, lust, anger etc hijacking mind, enticement traps, competitions, crimes committed for ego wars, lust and money. 

This isn’t bound by geography or culture; it is a universal human weakness. 

And perhaps that is why the teachings of wisdom traditions — like Lord Buddha’s call to discernment and wise company in the Mangal Sutta — remain so timeless, boundless, universal and urgent.

 

Final Thoughts

The deaths of Alan Yu Menglong, Sushant Singh Rajput and his philanthropic team including Disha Salian, is not just the loss of young innocent talents, but the loss of  gentle souls who deserved much better in life, who touched many hearts through their work. 

Whether their end was an accident or something darker, it reminds us to live with vigilance, empathy, and spiritual discernment.

Like Sushant Singh Rajput and Disha Salian, Alan Yu Menglong will live on through his art and through the conversations his untimely passing has sparked.

And maybe — just maybe — their stories will make us to reflect deeper and choose better company, seek truth, and walk our own journeys with courage, discernment and wisdom.

 

✨ Rest in peace, 

Alan Yu Menglong, 

Disha Salian and 

Sushant Singh Rajput! 

Lovingly 

Pray for all of your soul's liberation!
