The truth is that we are not what we see or what we appear to be. Everything in this visible world is perishable, and that means my body is also perishable — so it cannot be the real “me.” This naturally brings up the question: Who am I? When we look through the lens of metaphysics or energy, things start becoming much easier to understand.
To simplify this, imagine two differently coloured balls placed on a table. If both a living human and a corpse are asked to pick one particular ball, who will be able to do it? We all know the answer. So what is the difference between the two? Something special is present in the living being — something that makes the body active, aware, and functional.
These days, we often hear words like soul, spirit, spiritual energy… so the terminology is familiar. But have we ever truly understood or experienced that I, the soul, am not this body, but a separate living entity? It is the soul that energises the human body, that enters the zygote or fetus and takes its place near the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, in that tiny space within the mother’s womb. From that subtle seat, I, the soul, control the five sense organs along with the deeper faculties of intellect and mind.
It’s true that the religion we are born into, or the faith we follow, influences our roles in life. But understanding spirituality and knowing the one fundamental truth — Who am I? — transforms our perception and changes how we see the world. This inner shift can impact not just our lives, but the entire universe.
In the end, it has never been about religion, but about spirituality — the light that fills me and then spreads through me into the world. Peace is not outside; it is within. It’s a vast topic, and I leave it here for everyone to reflect upon.
With love, peace & awareness
