What Should I do Next? | Meditation for Clarity

April is Heartfulness Awareness Month. Let’s not talk about the logistics of it today but about the experiences. I joined Heartfulness meditation at a tender age of 18 in Chennai, India. At that time, I was drowned in the big question of “What should I do next?” I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I knew I didn’t wanna be in IT (Information Technology) LOL. I literally took all the subjects opposite to Computers - Biology and no Math!

At this time I didn’t realize there was a divine force guiding me. Was it because of the meditation? Anyway, I circled on this one college in Pune, India and to my surprise I passed the entrance exam with flying colors. I haven’t studied at all but I guess I was meant to be a biotechnologist, at least I thought. (LOL again)

Fast forward to when I finished my college. I was preparing for GATE to do my Master’s in India and this was a bittersweet experience because the Universe had other plans. I wouldn’t pass that exam no matter how many times I wrote it and I used to be one of those people who took exams way too seriously. So naturally, I was extremely stressed about this. I was jumbling between these exams and finding a job. Both didnt happen for a very long time. But a year later, I got into an IT role and that job brought me to the USA, where I am currently. Literally, everything works out in the end.

If I passed that GATE exam then, I wouldn’t be here, in the states right now and if I haven’t made the switch to IT then, USA would have been way harder. The divine force, I was talking about earlier, always guides us whether we feel it or not. Heartfulness Meditation helps us feel that divine giving us more clarity and guidance for “What Next!”

Oops! Was this a little long. Still, you should follow along on my journey anyway hehe.
