A daily inquiry into whether your choices come from fear of abandonment or authentic desire for connection.
Drawing from Mirabai's relentless self-honesty in her poems, this practice invites you to examine your heart's true motives. Each decision about togetherness—staying in a relationship, setting a boundary, reaching out—can arise from either the defended ego (fear of loneliness) or the awakened heart (genuine love). Mirabai refused false belonging; she left her husband's household not from rejection but from authentic calling. The examined heart asks: Am I here out of fear? Am I avoiding myself through merger? Am I honoring both my truth and the other's? This practice builds the capacity to navigate Autonomy and Togetherness with integrity, distinguishing between codependence and real devotion.
