Driving Backwards Moving Forwards

The Divine Sparks 06 Sep 2026 6 views
A heartfelt reflection on healing, surrender, and returning to one’s authentic self—where faith becomes greater than fear, every experience carries a lesson, and sincere action is offered with trust in Mahadev’s divine timing.

Driving Backwards, Moving Forward


The journey of healing, to me, is a journey of meeting your true authentic self and learning to be at peace with who you are.


I see transformation not as becoming someone new, but as taking one step closer to yourself.


It is a journey of unlearning — peeling away, layer by layer, the societal conditionings, expectations, and belief systems that may have held you back from your own truth.


This journey takes effort and dedication. Yet when one truly surrenders, something begins to shift. The process starts unfolding more gracefully, in Divine Timing.

But What Does Surrender Really Mean?


Is surrender simply saying, “I surrender”?


To my current understanding, surrender does not mean the absence of fear or worry.


I experience both.


The difference is that I do not allow fear or worry to consume me. I do not allow my fears to become greater than my faith.


Deep within, I trust that something good can emerge from every experience.


It is either a blessing or a lesson.


And every lesson, too, can become a blessing in disguise, because it brings growth, understanding, and completion.


Either way, I choose to trust that life is always working in my favour.

Karta Mat Bano, Karm Karo


A line from the series Devo Ke Dev... Mahadev has stayed with me ever since I first heard it:


“Karta Mat Bano, Karm Karo.”


Do not become the doer; simply do your duty.


To me, this is the essence of surrender.


It means letting go of the need to control the outcome and instead focusing on doing our part with sincerity.


I work towards doing my best, while trusting that Mahadev will take care of the rest.


The outcome will unfold in the way that serves my highest good.

With Gratitude


Today, as I pen down these thoughts, I conclude with gratitude.


Gratitude for having Rajkumar Kamdar as my Guru.


Heartfelt gratitude to my Guru for always imparting knowledge in the most gentle and uplifting manner.


Gratitude to my mother for introducing me to The Divine Sparks.


And gratitude to Mahadev for always bestowing His Grace and unconditional Love.


Har Har Mahadev
