The process of releasing communities and relationships based on false identity, then building new sangha aligned with truth.
Sangha—spiritual community—shaped Mirabai's identity from birth through restrictive family and court structures. Her spiritual path required dissolving these false sanghas and finding new community aligned with her authentic self. Grieving lost identity often means grieving the loss of belonging within structures that demanded your inauthenticity. This is painful and necessary. Mirabai left family and kingdom to find sangha among devotees who honored her truth. Your recovery involves honest assessment: which relationships require you to perform? Which communities are built on your false self? Dissolution of these sanghas creates space for reconstruction—finding or building community that welcomes your authenticity. This is not selfishness; it is the integrity required for genuine belonging. New sangha will emerge as you become genuinely yourself.
