THE POWER IS IN THE PULL & THE PUSH
The Yogis call it Rāga & Dveṣa — Attachment & Aversion.
Two forces that quietly shape almost every choice you make.
Most people think the spiritual path is about eliminating them.
But the yogis knew better:
Attachment isn’t the enemy.
Aversion isn’t a flaw.
They are teachers.
Maps.
Mirrors.
Rāga shows you where you seek comfort, beauty, belonging.
Dveṣa shows you where you fear discomfort, rejection, truth.
One pulls you forward.
One pushes you back.
Together, they reveal your karmic curriculum.
Every time you cling, something is asking to be understood.
Every time you resist, something is asking to be freed.
When you get lost in them, you suffer.
When you witness them, you wake up.
When you master them, you become unstoppable.
This is why self-study (svādhyāya) matters.
This is why meditation matters.
This is why your path — your pilgrimage — matters.
Because the goal isn’t to erase your human tendencies.
It’s to meet them with honesty, compassion, and awareness so they alchemize into wisdom.
