The Journey to Become Whole

The journey to become whole is not about becoming something new - it is about remembering who we truly are. In the noise of the world, we forget our essence. We become fragmented by roles, responsibilities, and expectations, and in that fragmentation, we lose touch with the completeness that already exists within us. The path shown by Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog and the divine guidance of Shivkrupanand Swamiji gently leads us back to this forgotten wholeness.

Wholeness is our natural state. The soul is already complete, already perfect. It is not lacking anything. But when we begin identifying with the mind, the ego, the body, and the outer world, we feel separate and incomplete. We start seeking outside what always existed within. This is the root of all suffering - a misidentification. Swamiji explains that our real journey is not outward but inward. In silence, in surrender, in deep inner connection, we begin to dissolve the illusion of separation.

Through Samarpan Dhyanyog, we are taught to sit in pure awareness, without desire or effort. It is not a practice of doing, but of being. When we surrender our thoughts, identities, and even our spiritual ambitions to the Guru Tattva, we start returning to our natural state of completeness. Meditation becomes a mirror where the broken pieces of the self begin to realign. The scattered parts of our consciousness begin to unite under the presence of the soul.

Swamiji often says, “You are not incomplete; you are unaware of your completeness.” This simple yet profound statement shifts our entire spiritual approach. Instead of striving, we start observing. Instead of chasing experiences, we become still. Instead of collecting knowledge, we become available to grace. The journey to become whole is not about adding more; it is about shedding layers that are not truly ours.

In the Himalayan tradition, wholeness is not defined by perfection in the outer world, but by inner balance. A person who is whole may face challenges, emotions, and human limitations - but they are not disturbed by them. They remain centred in the soul. This inner centre is cultivated in Samarpan Dhyanyog through consistent meditation, surrender to the Guru’s energy, and by simply being in the present moment.

The Guru is not just a teacher of knowledge, but a living presence that awakens wholeness within us. When we connect to the Gurutattva, we begin to resonate with divine balance. We slowly remember that we are not the mind, not the emotions, not the name, not the past—we are pure consciousness. As this remembrance deepens, a quiet joy arises. There is no rush, no fear, no lack - only a calm presence that pervades everything.

This is the fruit of the inner journey. It is not dramatic or loud. It is silent and complete. Like a flower blooming without noise, like the sun rising without effort, our wholeness reveals itself naturally when we live in surrender. The more we let go, the more we realize that everything we were searching for is already here, within us. 

In this sacred path, wholeness is not a destination, but the nature of the soul rediscovered. We do not become whole; we simply awaken to the wholeness that we always were. And in that awakening, there is peace, joy, and deep fulfilment - not because something has changed outside, but because something eternal has been remembered within.
