Still Being Carved!!

 Still Being Carved!!

In a world that worships polished stone,
He chose to remain unfinished.

He holds every broken heart,
And reaches those who have lost their way.
With eyes that never blink,
He watches silently, not to judge, but to embrace.

We spend our lives becoming
A title, a designation, a success story.
He sits upon His throne and smiles,
For He knows we were never meant to become things,
But human beings.

We rush through life with calendars and deadlines,
Chasing promotions, applause, and victories.
He reminds us that the finest sculptures of life
Are carved slowly, in silence, by time itself.

The King opened the door too soon.
How often do we do the same?
Impatient with our failures,
Restless with our journey,
Forgetting that God is still at work within us.

Lord Jagannath whispers—

"You are allowed to be unfinished."

You need not earn your worth.
You need not become perfect to deserve peace.
You need not conquer the world to discover yourself.

Your designation will retire one day.
Your possessions will change hands.
Your achievements will become memories.

But your kindness will remain.
Your compassion will remain.

Life, too, is a Rath Yatra.

Sometimes we pull the chariot.
Sometimes we are carried by it.
Sometimes the wheels move slowly.
Yet, every turn of the wheel is taking us home.

Work with excellence, but do not become your work.
Lead with humility, but never with pride.
Grow without comparison.
Change without losing yourself.

For the Lord of the Universe chose a wooden body,
and a boundless heart
To teach us the simplest truth of all:

You do not have to be complete to be divine.

So when the world asks,"What have you achieved?"

May Lord Jagannath inspire you to ask instead,

"What kind of human being have I become while achieving it?"

Jai Jagannath!!
