We challenge the modern narrative of being self-made, pondering instead the role of divine grace and community in our life's journey. Our exploration takes us through the complex relationship between personal spirituality and the divine, using the analogy of individual souls as waves in an all-encompassing ocean. We reflect on the similarities between humans and the divine, and contemplate the unique characteristics of Krishna as a personal deity. Unexpected parallels arise, such as an encounter with a famous drag queen that sheds light on our understanding of divine personalities. Join us as we navigate through these reflections, considering how they challenge our perceptions of love and self-love and question the dynamics of true love in its fullest form. The journey continues with personal stories and reflections on divine presence across different cultures and religions, emphasising sincerity and devotion in spiritual practice. Finally, we recount a transformative experience of surrender, where letting go in meditation opened a portal to divine bliss. Through these tales, we invite you to reflect on your own encounters with the divine and the role they play in your spiritual awakening.
