What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?
“Having it all is not about perfection, but about harmonizing our spiritual, personal, and communal aspirations to create a life of true fulfillment.”
– Krishna Moorthy M
In the pursuit of a fulfilling life, the phrase “having it all” can hold varied meanings for different individuals. For me, deeply rooted in the principles of Sanatana Dharma, “having it all” intertwines spiritual fulfillment, personal growth, and community contributions. This concept transcends mere material wealth or social accolades, embodying a holistic approach to life.
Spiritual Fulfillment and Rituals
At the core of my understanding of “having it all” is spiritual fulfillment. My daily practice of Sandhya Vandana, coupled with reading sacred texts such as the Shiva Purana, Shri Devi Bhagavatham, and Bhagavatha Purana, grounds me in timeless wisdom. These rituals are not mere routines but pathways to a deeper connection with the divine and with my own inner self. They offer a sense of peace, purpose, and alignment with the greater cosmos.
Personal and Professional Growth
On the personal front, “having it all” involves continuous growth and improvement. This includes both overcoming physical challenges, like my ongoing recovery from Sciatica, and achieving professional milestones. As an entrepreneur, I have set ambitious goals: establishing a school and a graduate college that integrate Vedic teachings, achieving significant financial success, and excelling in business development. These endeavors reflect my commitment to personal excellence and societal contribution.
Community and Social Contributions
Creating educational institutions that specialize in Vedic life, and promoting social welfare and traditional values within the Hindu community, represent another dimension of “having it all.” By fostering environments where individuals can learn and grow in alignment with ancient wisdom, I aim to nurture well-rounded, culturally rooted individuals. This, I believe, is essential for the prosperity and sustainability of our community and culture.
Harmony and Balance
“Having it all” also means achieving a balance between various aspects of life. It’s about being productive and focused, yet also finding time for self-care and social interactions. My morning rituals, including cleansing and spiritual practices, set a tone of harmony and preparedness for the day. This balance extends to enjoying favorite holidays, celebrating important Thithis, and cherishing the quiet influences and unseen heroes in life.
Cultural Appreciation and Enjoyment
Appreciating cultural elements, such as fruits symbolizing nature’s beauty and abundance, or savoring moments at favorite restaurants, enriches my experience of life. Watching Artistic Gymnastics during the Olympics or attending live performances like the one by BABYMONSTER adds layers of joy and cultural connection.
Attainability of “Having It All”
Is “having it all” attainable? I believe it is, but it requires a clear understanding of what “all” encompasses. For me, it is not about perfection in every domain but about harmonizing spiritual, personal, and communal aspirations. It’s about small improvements and continuous growth, staying true to one’s values, and contributing positively to the world.
In essence, “having it all” is a dynamic, ongoing journey rather than a fixed destination. It is attainable when we define it in terms of our deepest values and commit to living in alignment with them. By embracing spiritual practices, striving for personal and professional excellence, and contributing to our community, we can indeed “have it all” in the truest sense.
