At first glance, it might sound counterintuitive. After all, when life throws challenges, hardships, or pain our way, our natural response is to find solutions, to fix what seems broken. We search for answers outside ourselves, hoping to resolve problems, ease discomfort, or regain control. And there is nothing wrong with seeking solutions. In many ways, it is necessary. But if we stop there, we miss the deeper essence of healing.
True healing is not merely about fixing what appears broken. It is not about changing circumstances or forcing ourselves into a “better” version of life. It is about reconnecting with the self that has always been whole. It is about rediscovering the inner light that has always existed within us, even if we have forgotten it.
That inner light is none other than Shri Sadguru Himself. He resides within us, not somewhere far away. His grace is not limited to outward rituals or external forms, but shines silently from the core of our being. The world may make us feel incomplete, wounded, or broken, but when we turn inward, we realize that Shri Sadguru’s light has never left us.
Whenever sorrow, failure, pain, or obstacles arise, we instinctively look outward. We hope that external remedies, a person, a solution, a change of circumstances, will relieve our suffering. Yet, this approach often only addresses the surface. Real healing begins from within. It starts with the remembrance of Shri Sadguru, through the Holy Naam (Divine Name) that He has blessed us with.
The Holy Naam is not just a word,it is a living connection, a bridge between us and the eternal source of light. Repeating the Naam with faith draws us back to our center, dissolves inner restlessness, and reminds us of our completeness. Through Holy Naam, the scattered mind gathers, the heavy heart becomes lighter, and the seeming darkness of life gradually fades away.
Healing, then, is not about repairing ourselves as if we were broken objects. We are not broken. At our core, we are already pure, whole, and complete. What we often lose is the awareness of our bond with Shri Sadguru. Healing is the journey of reawakening that awareness, of seeing again the inner lamp that Shri Sadguru has kindled in us through Holy Naam.
When we live in this remembrance, something remarkable happens. The challenges of life do not disappear, but they no longer overpower us. Pain becomes bearable, failures transform into lessons, and obstacles become stepping stones. Most importantly, a quiet peace takes root inside us, the peace that comes from knowing that Shri Sadguru is within, guiding, holding, and protecting us every step of the way.
In essence, healing is not about changing who we are. It is about realizing who we have always been: beings of light, carrying within us the eternal flame of Shri Sadguru. And every time we remember His grace, every time we take the Holy Naam on our lips, we step back into that light.
So, the next time life challenges you, pause. Don’t rush to fix or change. Close your eyes. Take His Naam. Feel the Sadguru who dwells in your heart. Healing is not about becoming something new, it is about remembering the divinity that already resides within you.
