Chariots of the Sun: A Journey to Spiritual Wholeness

Vasistha, the illumined sage of the Rig Veda, invites us not merely to walk the spiritual path—but to ride it like a flaming chariot across the sky.

He does not speak of life as a burden to endure but as a journey propelled by light. The sun—Surya—is more than a celestial orb. In Vasistha's lens, it is the chariot of spiritual propulsion, and you are not merely a passenger—you are the charioteer.

But here’s the divergence: the destination isn’t heaven. It’s wholeness.

The Solar Journey Within

To Vasistha, the sun is the perfect metaphor for the self-realized soul. It rises without permission, burns without apology, and gives without depletion. It’s not worshipped in the Rig Veda as just a god—it is the symbol of the awakened self.

The journey of the soul is not from sin to salvation, but from fragmentation to wholeness. In Vasistha’s view, we are not broken beings in need of fixing. We are radiant chariots whose wheels have merely forgotten how to turn. The soul’s forgetfulness is its only bondage.

The Chariots of the Sun are not golden vehicles in the sky. They are inner momentum. Each thought, emotion, and choice becomes a wheel, a rein, a flame. And when aligned, they don't carry you to God—they reveal that you’ve always been divine.

Why Most Spiritual Paths Stall

Most seekers, Vasistha implies, try to reach the divine by disowning parts of themselves. They cut off anger, repress desire, and shame sadness. But dismembered souls cannot ride whole chariots.

Wholeness is not the absence of chaos. It’s the integration of it.

Just as the sun contains both gentle warmth and blinding blaze, the awakened soul contains joy and grief, clarity and confusion. Wholeness is riding with all parts of yourself—not dragging them behind.

Toolkit: Activating Your Inner Chariot

🚩 1. Solar Salutation (5-Minute Sunrise Presence) Each morning, stand facing the rising sun. Even if it’s cloudy, feel it. With hands at heart center, whisper: "I rise like the sun—whole, burning, giving." Let its energy ignite your inner fire. This daily ritual realigns you with your soul’s vitality.

🛞 2. Wholeness Journal Before bed, ask: What did I disown today? Which part of me needed light, not judgment? Welcome that part back onto your chariot. Write a line of love to it. Integration is healing.

🌞 3. Midday Flame Check Set a midday reminder. Pause and breathe. Feel your core. Ask: "Am I riding or hiding?" Choose one action that aligns you with truth. Even if it's saying no, resting, or laughing loudly.

🎯 4. Fire-Driven Choices Before any major decision, visualize the sun. Ask yourself: "Would this decision fan my flame or dim my light?" Let your choices orbit your soul—not your fears.

🌠 5. Nightly Light Merge Lie down in darkness. Visualize your body becoming golden light. Not from above—but within. Say: “I am the chariot. I am the light. I am whole.” Let this awareness lull you into unity-consciousness.

The Ride You Were Born For

You weren’t meant to crawl through this life hoping for drops of divine grace.

You were born with wheels of radiance. Vasistha saw this not as metaphor but truth. You are a blazing chariot destined to ride across the skies of awareness, not seeking heaven—but creating it with every breath.

The ride isn’t about leaving the earth behind. It’s about lighting it with your wholeness.

This morning, I asked the cards “How do I shine today?” I drew the Knight of Wands, the Hermit and the Queen of Wands from the True Black Tarot. ⭐ I’m drawn to look at the Hermit. He looks at me from underneath their hood and he shines so brightly in the darkness that is around him. On the left, the Knight of Wands holds a gold rose out to the Hermit, as if making amends or he is giving the Hermit a token of affection. On the right, the Queen of Wands holds a gold rose up to her eyes as if to see more clearly. The posture of the Hermit and the Queen are very similar to each other, as if they are both taking the time to look within. ⭐ I’ve been so focused on creating and the amount that I create. Like the Knight, I would forsake rest to keep going, eventually collapsing from exhaustion. As for the Queen, she is kind to a fault, taking care of those around her and sharing her light with little thought of herself. That’s another one of my bad habits, trying to make sure that everyone else is okay, that they are all right and happy with little thought to myself. The Hermit is asking me to put a pause on both of those aspects of myself. ⭐ He is my card for the year along with the Moon and he has been popping up a lot lately. Every time I see him, it’s an indication that I need to stop, reflect and pause. I need to look within. The light I carry is always there, but I have to let it shine for myself and just enjoy the peace of rest. I can’t create or care from an empty cup and the only way to fill that cup is to rest and spend time with myself, listening to spirit and making sure to take care of myself. I used to see the Hermit as a bad card, in that he was telling me to stop creating, to stop living. What he is encouraging me to do is to find a balance within myself that I need to move forward. To shine today, I need to find that balance within myself and sparkle in the dark. 🌟 #tarot #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarottribe #trueblacktarot #KnightofWands #Hermit #QueenofWands #creativedrive #compassion #empathy #sympathy #light #shineon #lightfromwithin #balance #shineformyself #deepenmyknowledge #sparkleon #shinebright #likeadiamond #cardoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CYeIkKFu5V2/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.“ – Steve Jobs So many people live their precious years ticking boxes or following norms imposed on them by others, trying to fulfill other peoples’ requirements and expectations. I find this heartbreaking. Some do not go for their dreams because they feel afraid or guilty. They wouldn’t want to disappoint anyone, especially their dear ones. In reality, we can’t disappoint anyone. People disappoint themselves with the expectations they set for whom they want us to be, or what they want us to do. People with no agenda cannot get disappointed, nor can they get involved in drama. They accept and love us unconditionally, as we are. #wordpord#wordsofwisdom #desertmusing #soakinginit#intheflow #rawbeauty #nakedtruth#shecanandwill #waterislife #nudesoul#nakedearth #livingthedream #mebeingme#letgo #poetryinmotion #lightfromwithin#tappingintosource #withgod #peace #joy#unbridled #beauty #natureheals #soulfood
