🌘 The Weight of the World & The Voice of Shiva
A conversation from a wandering soul to the One who sees everything.
That evening, my mind felt heavier than my body.
Not because something terrible had happened…
but because of a very old, very familiar ache:
“What will people think?”
I carried it like a stone on my chest.
Every idea that came to me…
every dream I wanted to chase…
every spark I felt inside…
They all felt pure — until society’s voice entered.
So I closed my eyes, took a breath, and whispered into the silence:
“Shiva… why is it that when I don’t care about the world’s opinions, I feel so light?”
My own voice surprised me.
It felt honest… almost childlike.
I continued:
“But the moment society’s pressure hits me,
I feel that weight again.
Why do I fear what people think of my ideas?
Why does it become so hard to breathe?”
The air shifted.
Like the world had paused to listen.
And then… His presence.
Not loud.
Not dramatic.
Just a calmness that wrapped around me like truth.
Shiva spoke.
**“My child…
the world has never carried your dreams — you have.”**
His voice was steady, ancient, and kind.
“When you stop caring about opinions,
you become free.
Because your mind is no longer fighting itself.”
I felt something loosen inside me.
Shiva continued:
“But society teaches you to wear masks —
to impress,
to fit in,
to shrink when you should expand.”
The words pierced gently, like wisdom landing exactly where it needed to.
**“Remember this,” He said.
“The world judges from fear.
Creators act from truth.”**
The fire inside me flickered.
“Opinions are noise.
Your ideas are divine.”
I closed my eyes, letting the meaning sink in.
**“And when you walk your path with awareness,” Shiva whispered,
“the pressure dissolves…
because you finally realise something important…”**
I waited, breath held.
“No one is watching you as closely as you think.
And even if they are —
their thoughts cannot stop your destiny.”
The stone on my chest melted.
For the first time in a long time, I felt… free.
**🔥 And in that moment, I understood:
I was never meant to live under the world’s gaze —
I was meant to live under my own truth.**
A truth guided by faith.
A truth guided by Shiva.
Om Namah Shivaya 🙏🕉️
