32 unread messages, Saloni put on the phone, frustrated. How would it get through the next few days? Looking for answers or distractions, she picked up the phone and started watching videos. One video caught saloni’s eye. A remarkable individual, talking about something religious or spiritual. She couldn’t quite make it out, but she was interested and found something impressive, maybe admirable, about the person. So she continued watching, and all she could think of at that point was how pressure from all the corners was bombarding her, how her personal relationships or friendships weren’t just working out. Maybe at this point all she needed was space for herself to calm down her mind. For Saloni, this phase was quite stressful, and she was frustrated by all the dynamics of her life. She actually wanted to immerse herself in spirituality for a long time, but then kept procrastinating. Watching this video sparked something in her that made her feel alive again, calmed her mind a bit, and maybe showed her a direction that, even if nothing is working out, eventually everything will.
