"Break Free: How to Stop Holding Yourself Back Spiritually"

"Maanasa chala, karuna vighna nahi"

The mind should move forward; do not create obstacles.

Saint Tukaram’s doha, "Maanasa chala, karuna vighna nahi," is a call to move forward with resolve and clarity. In the realm of spirituality, this simple yet profound verse encourages us to advance on our spiritual path without creating unnecessary barriers. Let’s explore the spiritual depth of this doha and how it can transform our daily lives.

Spiritual Essence

1. The Mind’s Journey Forward: In spirituality, the mind is often the vehicle that carries us toward enlightenment. Sant Tukaram’s doha reminds us that the mind must move forward, unhindered by doubts, fears, or distractions. Spiritual growth requires progression, and this movement is essential to breaking free from the cycles of ignorance and suffering.

2. The Nature of Obstacles: Obstacles in the spiritual path are often self-created. Whether it’s the fear of the unknown, attachment to material desires, or the comfort of the familiar, these barriers arise from within. Sant Tukaram’s wisdom urges us not to erect these obstacles, allowing our minds to move freely toward higher consciousness.

3. The Power of Intentional Progress: When we set our intention to grow spiritually, we must be vigilant about not sabotaging our efforts. This doha emphasizes the need for intentional progress, where every step is taken with purpose and awareness. By aligning our thoughts, words, and actions with our spiritual goals, we ensure that our path remains clear.

4. Liberation from Mental Blocks: The ultimate message of this doha is liberation from the mental blocks that hinder our spiritual journey. Sant Tukaram invites us to recognize these blocks for what they are—temporary and illusory—and to move beyond them. This liberation leads to a state of flow, where the mind effortlessly progresses toward its true nature.

Unique and Transformative Insight

Consider the mind as a river that naturally flows toward the ocean of enlightenment. Obstacles are like dams built out of fear, doubt, or attachment, disrupting the natural flow. The more we cling to these barriers, the more turbulent the mind becomes. However, when we allow the river to flow unobstructed, it moves swiftly and surely toward its destination.

This insight challenges the conventional approach to spiritual growth, where obstacles are often seen as external challenges to be overcome. Instead, it suggests that the true work lies in removing the internal barriers we create, allowing our mind to naturally progress toward spiritual awakening.

In a world filled with distractions and challenges, Sant Tukaram’s doha offers a powerful reminder: the only real obstacles are the ones we create within ourselves. By dissolving these self-imposed barriers, we unlock the mind’s potential to move forward, unhindered and free.

Practical Toolkit for Daily Routine

1. Morning Intention Setting:

Start your day by setting a clear intention to progress spiritually.

Affirm that you will not allow self-created obstacles to hinder your growth.

2. Mindful Observation:

Practice observing your thoughts without judgment.

Identify any fears, doubts, or attachments that arise, and consciously let them go.

3. Daily Reflection:

At the end of the day, reflect on any mental barriers you encountered.

Write them down and acknowledge that they are temporary and can be overcome.

4. Visualization Exercise:

Visualize your mind as a river flowing toward enlightenment.

Imagine removing any obstacles in its path, allowing the river to flow freely.

5. Affirmation Practice:

Use affirmations to reinforce your commitment to spiritual progress.

Examples: "I move forward with clarity," "I release all mental barriers," "My mind flows freely toward enlightenment."

6. Focused Breathing:

Practice focused breathing exercises to calm the mind.

With each exhale, visualize releasing any mental blocks.

7. Nature Immersion:

Spend time in nature, observing how it moves and flows without resistance.

Use this as a reminder to allow your mind to move forward naturally.

8. Gratitude Practice:

Cultivate gratitude for the progress you’ve made on your spiritual journey.

Recognize that every step forward is a victory over self-imposed obstacles.

9. Supportive Conversations:

Engage in conversations with others on the spiritual path.

Share experiences and strategies for overcoming mental barriers.

10. Digital Detox:

Take regular breaks from digital distractions.

Use this time to reconnect with your spiritual goals and intentions.

By integrating these practices into your daily life, you can embody the wisdom of Sant Tukaram’s doha and ensure that your spiritual journey is one of continuous forward movement. This toolkit is designed to help you remove any self-created obstacles and allow your mind to flow naturally toward enlightenment.

Juneteenth is the day to celebrate the emancipation of slaves in America. While their physical chains were broken our society since that day has still held the black community and minorities in the shackles of racism and intolerance. The world must break the chains of prejudice and hate. Until then, none of us are truly free. I will not be silent. No justice, no peace.

#2corinthians517: “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” #Amen! • Thank You, dear Jesus, that we have new life through You. Heavenly Father, You came in human form to have a true personal relationship with us, and Your Son, Jesus Christ died, descended, broke the chains of death, and rose again to bring us to Salvation. How wonderful, how marvellous! We sing with joy that our God can never be praised enough, never be praised enough! It’s Your breathe in our lungs, so we pour out our praise, pour out our praise! Lift up our hearts, we lift them LORD to thee! Thank You, dear Jesus. We pray in Your glorious name: Jesus, name above all names.

🙃 Plot twist! ⛓️ Did you expect a different quote that goes more like "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link."? Well, building upon this notion, Polish poet and aphorist Stanisław Jerzy Lec shows us his different, unique view of it. "The weakest link in a chain is the strongest because it can break it."

Picture taken by yours truly, spreadfire1.
