We are often pushed or compelled to change our very nature, either due to the challenges life throws at us or people we come across. Sometimes, such experiences can be traumatic and life-changing, and we turn into something we are not. We leave ourselves behind, and soon, we have forgotten our true nature.

Charles Bukowski once said, “Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?”  

It becomes a very important question to ask ourselves repeatedly. When the saint couldn’t help but guide the scorpion out of the river, the scorpion did what it does best: each one playing out its true nature. 

Even if the emotional wounds seem overwhelming, healing seems difficult, remember the person you used to be before donning new masks. This question serves as a reminder to reconnect with our core, urging us to seek our inner truth amid the complexities of modern life.

For that we retreat to our sacred space where peace and tranquility surround us, all the worries of the world come to a halt, and we can just be!
