Writing with Purpose: How Screenwriting and Blogging Bring Me to Life
What gives you direction in life? There’s something about the blank page—the endless possibility, the quiet invitation to create—that electrifies me. Whether it’s screenwriting or shaping words in this blog, writing has become more than just a craft. It’s my sanctuary, my heartbeat, my way of breathing in a world that never stops moving. But it’s more than just words on a screen. My daughter,…

“Let the God in You Speak, Even if the World Doesn’t Understand”
“Let the God in You Speak, Even if the World Doesn’t Understand”
(Rishi’s Courage in Expression)
When Rishi Vamadeva uttered the hymns of the Rigveda, he was not merely composing poetry; he was channeling divinity. His words were often incomprehensible to the ordinary ear — layered with paradox, luminous with insight, unapologetically vast. Yet he did not censor the god within. He spoke what surged through him, whether the world understood or not.
This is the essence of spiritual courage: to give voice to the divine impulse inside you, unafraid of being misunderstood.
The God-Voice Within
Each of us carries two voices. The first is shaped by society — practical, polite, and palatable. It seeks approval and fears rejection. The second voice is older, deeper, sacred — it rises like fire from the soul. This is the “god-voice” that Vamadeva dared to release.
When he said, “I am Agni, I am the wind, I am beyond both,” he was not exaggerating but letting the divine awareness in him speak without restraint. This was not ego; it was surrender. He became the mouthpiece of eternity.
The Fear of Being Misunderstood
Most of us silence our god-voice out of fear. What if others laugh? What if they don’t understand? What if they dismiss us as strange? Vamadeva teaches the opposite: misunderstanding is inevitable. Truth is too vast to be immediately comprehended. The measure of authenticity is not how many approve, but how courageously we allow truth to be spoken.
Every breakthrough — in art, spirituality, science — has first been met with confusion, even ridicule. But history honors those who gave voice to what was unseen.
Expression as Sacred Duty
To speak from your god-voice is not indulgence; it is dharma. Silence it, and you betray your own essence. Express it, and you become a channel for others’ awakening. Vamadeva’s hymns still resonate thousands of years later because he allowed them to be born, even when they seemed incomprehensible.
True expression is less about being understood and more about being authentic. Understanding comes later; authenticity is eternal.
How This Applies to Us Today
In today’s hyper-connected world, everyone is performing for attention. But the deepest expressions rarely fit into trends. If you only speak what others expect, your life becomes an echo chamber. Vamadeva’s lesson is clear: let the god in you speak, raw and luminous.
Whether through words, art, work, or silence — expression rooted in the divine transforms not only you but those who encounter it. It plants seeds in their souls, even if the meaning unfolds years later.
The Courage of the Rishi
Rishi’s courage is not loud defiance but steady authenticity. To express the divine impulse in you is to honor both your soul and the universe that placed you here. Vamadeva’s voice survived millennia not because everyone understood it instantly, but because it carried truth beyond time.
So must ours.
🌿 Practical Toolkit for Daily Routine
Sacred Voice Meditation
Sit quietly and ask: “What does the god within me want to say today?”
Speak or write the first words that arise without editing.
Misunderstanding Practice
Share a thought, poem, or feeling honestly with someone — without seeking validation.
Let yourself be okay with being misunderstood.
Expression Journal
Every morning, write one thing your soul feels, not what your mind thinks. Over time, this builds inner trust.
Voice of Fire Ritual
Light a candle. Whisper into the flame something you’ve never dared to say aloud. Imagine the fire carrying it into the cosmos.
Daily God-Voice Check
Before decisions, pause and ask: “Am I speaking/acting from fear or from the god in me?”
Let the latter guide you.
Closing Thought
To let the god in you speak is to live without apology. The world may misunderstand, but eternity will remember. Rishi Vamadeva reminds us that the voice within is not ours alone — it is the timeless song of the universe seeking expression through us.
When you allow that voice to rise, you step into the lineage of rishis: fearless, authentic, and unforgettable.
I'm training to be able to speak in a way that completely removes any intent of power from my words (or any power that might generate itself). I want to speak so that my words can simply be accepted or not, with the reach of my message forming organically, without the support of symbolic capital. I'm training to reduce my words to what I truly think or am still coming to understand. In my opinion, this requires battling the ego, distinguishing externally imposed needs from those essential for proper functioning.
I’m training myself to not feel jealousy, to engage in only healthy competition, to cultivate good mental habits, assertiveness, and clarity without illusions. I’m training for balance between asceticism and a shout of vitality.
I’m not aiming for an ego-free expression; rather, I strive for a level of detachment where you can hear and see the thought ❤. It’s incredibly difficult because I have a tangled, contradictory nature, but I want this.

Her Poetry Wasn’t Written… It Was Breathed From Her Soul
Andal did not construct poetry. She exhaled it.
Writing is often an act of arrangement—words chosen, structured, refined. But there exists another kind of expression, one that bypasses construction entirely. It does not come from intellect. It comes from being.
Andal’s poetry did not feel assembled. It felt released.
Expression Beyond Effort
Most of what we create carries effort marks.
We edit, adjust, reconsider. We try to make our expression acceptable, impressive, or coherent. Andal’s words moved differently. They did not carry the tension of performance. They carried the ease of alignment with breath.
Breath is involuntary.
It is continuous. It is truthful.
You cannot fake breath. You can only restrict or allow it.
Andal allowed expression to move like breath—unforced, uninterrupted, and alive.
Why Breath Matters Spiritually
Breath is the bridge between the visible and the invisible.
It connects body and awareness. It reflects our state without distortion. When breath is shallow, we are tense. When breath is steady, we are grounded.
Andal’s poetry mirrored this quality. It did not strive to reach the Divine. It flowed from a state already connected.
This is the difference between speaking about truth and speaking from truth.
The End of Over-Creation
Modern expression is often overworked.
We refine endlessly, seeking perfection. But excessive refinement can dilute authenticity. When expression is over-managed, it loses vitality.
Andal’s poetry retained vitality because it was not over-processed. It was allowed to emerge in its natural rhythm.
This does not mean lack of clarity. It means absence of distortion.
The Courage to Let Expression Flow
To express like breath requires trust.
We fear rawness. We fear being misunderstood. So we filter, polish, and control. But control often replaces authenticity with approximation.
Andal’s expression suggests a different approach: trust the source more than the structure.
When inner clarity is strong, expression does not need excessive correction.
Living Without Internal Interference
Most of us interfere with ourselves.
We interrupt thoughts. We censor feelings. We reshape impulses.
This creates a gap between experience and expression.
Andal’s poetry closes that gap.
What she experienced moved directly into expression without unnecessary delay. This created immediacy—an aliveness that still resonates.
Why This Matters Today
We live in an age of constant expression.
Social media, communication platforms, digital content—all encourage output. But more expression does not mean more authenticity.
In fact, the opposite often happens.
We speak more, but feel less connected to what we say.
Andal’s way reminds us that expression must be rooted in presence. Without that, words become noise.
With it, even few words carry depth.
From Writing to Being
The deeper lesson is not about poetry.
It is about life.
Are we living in a way that requires constant editing? Or are we living in a way that allows natural expression?
When life is aligned, expression becomes effortless. When life is conflicted, expression becomes labor.
Andal’s poetry was not powerful because of literary skill. It was powerful because it was uninterrupted truth.
Breathing as a Way of Living
To live like breath is to live continuously, honestly, and without unnecessary tension.
It does not mean impulsiveness. It means clarity without friction.
When we stop over-managing ourselves, life regains flow.
And in that flow, expression becomes natural again.
