🌼 The Battle I Never Spoke About—Between Dev and Danav Within ⚔️

The Churning Within—Understanding Our Inner Manthan🌻

Hey my lovely readers🎀

Today let's talk about something that constantly happen within us. The Manthan, the inner churning of thoughts, emotions and decisions. Most of the time we don't even realize it's happening until something major shakes us or brings a moment of deep clarity.

We all have those moments when our mind and heart pulls us in different directions. That's exactly what Manthan feels like— A battle between logic and emotions , between what we think and what we feel

To explain this better let's take the example of Samudra Manthan —The great churning of the ocean from Hindu Mythology. Just like Dev and Asuras churned the ocean to bring forth the divine treasures , we too experience our own internal churning in search for our own treasures of  peace , balance and truth.

Our body is like that ocean, inside it, the heart and the mind act as two powerful forces. The heart represents (Dev) emotions, love and sensitivity, It gives depth to our experiences. Mind ( Asura, if not controlled) represents reason, clarity and control —it guide us with structure and discipline.

But here's the twist—if either of them dominates completely then imbalance begins. If the heart overpowers the mind, emotions can cloud over judgement. And if the mind takes over, life becomes mechanical and disconnected. 

The real beauty lies in balance—when the heart and the mind work together. That's when we gain true clarity, peace and understanding.

Heart ❤️ vs Mind 🧠

Our mind is like a (Danav , if not controlled) and our heart is Dev (divine being). The mind always teaches us how to think and plan, while the heart teaches us how to feel and love.

When we were born, our heart lead us. But as we grow, our mind starts to take control. Over time, we become more mindful, more aware and physically grown up . Slowly , we stop listening to our heart and begin to act through our brain. 

When this happens, we become more practical and logical. Our life becomes a battle between what our heart wants and what our mind decides.

Both sides have their own strength. The mind helps us survive in this world—it gives us logic, direction and control. The heart gives us emotions , love and deeper sense of purpose.

When both fights within us, it creates confusion. But through this confusion, we start to understand ourselves better. That's the Manthan that happens inside every person.

Let's take an example:

Imagine a girl has to take a very big decision in her life and her path is full of distractions and confusion. She wants to move forward, but her heart and mind keep pulling her in opposite directions. Her mind tells her to choose the safe and successful route—the one that promises stability and recognition. But her heart tells her to choose peace, love and what truly makes her happy.

In that struggle, she questions herself again and again. But somewhere deep inside, this confusion help her to discover, who she really is. Because every Manthan —every churning within —eventually brings about clarity, strength and understanding.

Our heart reminds us that "life isn't  just about achievements or status. It's about kindness, balance and inner peace.

The Turning Point 🔆

Sometimes, our mind starts drifting towards distraction, and our heart feels ignored. In today's world, our mind is often filled with materialism illusions and constant competition. Somewhere between these two forces—the heart and the mind—our balance begins to fade.

Our heart is sensitive; it shines through emotions and awareness. But there are times when one decision can either make or break our life. I believe those moments come to help us understand who we truly are and what we really want from life.

I am not specialist, but I have learned a lot from my own mistakes. They have taught me lessons that no book ever could!.

In those difficult times— the ones  that challenge us deeply—our decisions define the outcome of our Manthan (inner churning). It all  depends on how we act when everything feels uncertain.

Just like in the story of Samudra Manthan, where the true treasures emerged after deep struggle, our real strength also come out when we go through inner conflict.

If we make the wrong decision during that time, life keeps showing us the same lessons again and again until we finally learn from them. Without these inner churnings, our life could never reach its turning points. 

Do you know why? Because inside us, both the Dev(divine) and the Asura(dark) side exist. It's our responsibility to give more importance to our Dev side—the good habits, Good thoughts and the part of us that wants to grow and to let go of the bad side, the one filled with negativity and fear.

This inner Manthan that I talk about— it's something everyone experiences. And trust me, when you learn to recognize it, your entire perspective on life begins to change.

Because in the end , our goal should always be to stay connected to our divine side—the part of us that believes, that loves and that walks on the path of goodness. 

Walking In The Path Of The Divine Within ✨🌸

Always remember one thing—keep your thoughts 💭 and actions pure. You might be thinking, "this sounds good in theory, but how do I actually apply it in real life? How can I stop myself from making wrong decisions.

The real test comes exactly at those moments—when you face a difficult situation and have to decide what's right and wrong . In those times you should pause and think . ''What will happen if I take this step? How will it affect my life, my loved ones or the people connected to me?

Our ancestors have taught us that every choice we make ,creates an impact—not just on us, but for those around us too. That's why we should never rush into decisions without thinking deeply. 

Now I know it's not easy. We all make mistakes and sometimes we follow the wrong path because everyone else seems to be doing the same. But remember—just because something is common doesn't make it right.

We are living in a time where people often chase things that don't truly matter. But we don't have to repeat the same pattern. We can stop, reflect , choose differently. 

Even if we have made mistakes in the past, we can still change everything with one right decision. It's all about awakening the divine side within us—the Dev part and letting go of the negative side. 

Now this doesn't mean We will instantly become divine or perfect. It simply means, that we will start walking on the right path—the path that leads us closer to the truth, peace and self - understanding.

And remember, the journey to becoming your higher self doesn't happen overnight. It's a slow and beautiful process—but with every step, you will find yourself getting closer to your true essence. 

In The End—The Victory Within ✌️

In the end, I just want to say one thing—even today ,the battle between the divine and the dark still continues and every time it's the divine that wins.

So if they could win their battles, why can't we overcome the negative qualities within ourselves? Of course, we can!

Human beings are capable of achieving anything once they decide to. Don't forget we are created by the same divine energy that created this whole Universe—the same power that exist in the cosmos also exists Within us! We are not different!

So never doubt your strength. You already have the ability to rise above everything that tries to pull you down.

And now , I'd love to hear from you—what do you think about this?
