We are very good at telling the world we are fine.
Someone asks "๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐?" and without even thinking, we say "๐๐น๐น ๐ด๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ." We say it so many times, we start believing it ourselves. We outsource our truth to convenience.
And the strange part is โ we know. Somewhere deep inside, we always know. We know when something is off. We know when we are running on empty. We know when a relationship has slowly stopped nourishing us. We know when the work we are doing is no longer the work we were meant to do. The knowing is never the problem. The willingness to sit with that knowing โ that is where most of us quietly look away.
There is a beautiful story of Nachiketa from the Katha Upanishad. A young boy who, unlike every adult around him, refused to accept a comfortable lie. When his father offered hollow answers, Nachiketa persisted โ not with arrogance, but with an unbearable hunger for truth. He walked into the house of Yama, the God of Death himself, just to get an honest answer. The ancients honoured this courage and called it ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ต๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ โ ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ-๐๐๐๐ฑ๐. Not of books. Study of the self. Raw, honest and without filters.
The mirror cannot be impressed. It reflects exactly what arrives. Today, stand in front of one. Not to fix your hair. Look into your own eyes โ that is where your unspoken truth lives and ask.
