Hare Krishna ji.......🙏 Thank you for taking the time to share this insightful feedback. You write wholeheartedly, sharing your learning experiences with a rare depth and beauty that invites the reader not just to observe, but to walk the path alongside you.

Whilst swimming earlier and reflecting on your post, I found myself arriving at a deep insight into the symbolism of rivers/water and flow and how it teaches us to be adaptable, learn to flow, resilience, persistence, reflection, clarity, fluidity and balance.

Really appreciated your Instagram live on the “harsh truths” last night, it was a lovely surprise for a Saturday night, beats clubbing haha……. The film that you had mentioned with the quote

“I want the truth, you can’t handle the truth” was in A few good men movie, the scene is on You tube. Thankyou for taking the time to offer a live session, much appreciated.

Hare Krishna. 🙏

Thank you so much for sharing this! This reflection truly feels like medicine. It’s not asking for different weather, just a different state of being within it. Water frozen isn’t broken, it’s paused and it felt very comforting to be reminded that it’s the same with us. When life hardens us through pressure, fear or comparison, flow hasn’t disappeared, it’s simply suspended. One conscious choice, a small reorientation and movement can return. As you wrote, we don’t manufacture purity, we remove what’s blocking it.

I really appreciated how you reframed flow. In the modern world, we often mistake flow for ease, comfort or a certain “vibe” but this was such a grounding reminder that flow actually means alignment. To stop watching others, stop negotiating with the ego and stop getting intoxicated by success feels both challenging and deeply freeing. Flow as a single-pointed service, where effort compounds because it’s not fragmented by insecurity, landed strongly for me. Duty done with devotion - simple but profound.

What also stood out is how practical the shifts you describe are. They’re not mystical tricks, just honest inner work that feels especially relevant today, learning flexibility instead of rigidity, contribution instead of credit, courage instead of letting fear have the final word.

The Bhagavatam image of saintly souls as flowing rivers tied everything together so beautifully. Saints don’t fight obstacles, they wear them down through consistency. They don’t drag people forward, they carry them. They don’t slow down for validation, they speed others up. That image of leadership, quiet, steady and life-giving, will stay with me.

Thank you again for this timely reminder to flow, even in the freeze. 🙏🏻

Hare Krsna Prabhu! I really needed to read this today, “Where credit no longer concerns us and contribution takes the lead”. Your posts here are invaluable!
