We Never Really Knew

• Did you know where you would be born?

• Did you know who your parents would be?

• Did you know where you would receive your education, who your friends would be, or what path your life would take?

• Did you know who your life partner would be, whether you would have children, or what their lives would become?

• Did you know where your final years would unfold?

• Did you know where this journey would ultimately dissolve into eternity?

The honest answer is simple: No.

• We did not know.

• We still do not know.

• We anticipate. We plan. We hope. We imagine.

Yet certainty remains beyond our grasp.

From the moment of birth, life has carried us through an ocean of unknowns.

• Who will stay?

• Who will leave?

• Who will support us?

• Who will oppose us?

• What opportunities will arrive?

• What challenges will appear?

We do not know.

And yet, despite all these uncertainties, we continue to live.

We continue to trust.

Somewhere deep within, there is already a silent faith that life will unfold as it must.

If so much of life has always been unknown, why do we struggle so hard to control everything?

Why do we exhaust ourselves trying to secure what has never been fully in our hands?

Even the next breath is not guaranteed.

Tomorrow has never been promised.

The future has always remained hidden.

Perhaps true peace begins when we stop demanding certainty from life.

Perhaps wisdom begins when we surrender to the Eternal Consciousness that has carried us from our first breath until this moment.

Surrender does not mean becoming passive.

It does not mean abandoning responsibility.

It means offering the fruits of our actions to the Divine while continuing to perform our duties with sincerity and love.

• Let us walk the path as it unfolds.

• Let us play our roles with awareness.

• Let us perform our karma without attachment to outcomes.

And let us trust that the same intelligence that guided our arrival here knows the way forward.

The unknown is not our enemy.

It has always been our companion.

And perhaps the Divine has been hidden within it all along.
