Just as water remains water, regardless of its temperature, a human being should simply be. No additions, no subtractions. Our essence isn’t defined by external labels or conditional states.
We often distort our true nature by appending descriptors: spiritual, religious, good, or bad. We become fixated on these identities, deriving self-worth from them. But what happens when these labels fade or change? Does our essence shift?
Consider water. It doesn’t deny its fundamental nature due to temperature fluctuations. It remains water, whether hot, cold, or lukewarm. Its potentiality for transformation doesn’t alter its intrinsic being.
Similarly, our souls should unapologetically be human. No pretenses, no embellishments. Our highest self isn’t achieved by adding qualifiers; it’s realized by embracing our unadulterated existence.
The illusion that we must become something more to be worthy is a weighty burden. It leads us to chase validation, clinging to external definitions. But true freedom lies in being, untainted by artificial distinctions.
In this simplicity, we find liberation. Our souls, unencumbered by the need for external validation, can flourish. We become authentic, unshakeable, and whole.
Let us shed the need for added identities and simply be. Like water, our essence will remain unchanged, regardless of life’s temperatures.
