Preface

‘The Vertical Path’ is a book very close not only to my heart, but my soul. In a way, this book reflects my inner journey that I have covered in the last six years. My life has never been the same since I published ‘The Way Ahead’. In fact, I’ve not been the same. Though it feels like yesterday that I released my debut book, it’s actually been six long years, but internally it feels like a lifetime has passed personally and professionally. The reason that it took me six years to come up with my second book is because I wanted to bring to the world, in the right word, language, and format, the universal truth of my inner journey and realisation, in a manner that is true to my calling-simple, practical and awareness provoking. A lot of people who’ve had deep conversations with me have spoken and pushed me to write about my knowledge and wisdom, but I know that there are enough people doing that. Everyone has a certain level of innate knowledge and wisdom that is inculcated by books, society, exposure, philosophy and of course, personal experience. For me, I try to look past knowledge and wisdom. Anyone who has read ‘The Way Ahead’ will agree that the purpose of my writing is to make people aware. I believe every soul is blessed with the tools of thought and feeling. However, in order to reach their soul truth, one needs the tool of realisation, which can only be inculcated by the moment of awareness. I know a lot of people might wonder whether ix

‘awareness’ and ‘realisation’ are the same thing, and to that I’d say ‘no’. ‘Awareness’ is that moment of truth when you shift your focus from thoughts and feelings, and move towards the deeper truth. It’s instant, almost like a ‘click’ or an ‘Ahhaaa...!’ moment. On the other hand, ‘realisation’ is the choice you make in the journey thereafter, be it mental or emotional. Realisation isn’t a ‘click moment’. It’s an ongoing process of accepting, containing, practising, and sustaining the awareness that you have gathered. For example, someone might be aware about their action of hurting someone and instantly apologise. This means they are aware that they have hurt someone, but they may not be in a state of ‘realisation’ about how their action has affected the other person. The word ‘sorry’ is created from a space of awareness but is incomplete without the ‘realisation’. Hence, I speak about awareness and realisation as the two most powerful tools for soul growth in each and every soul’s life. It’s only through these tools that one can alter everything else that the spiritualists and philosophers talk about. One can use these tools not only to alter their actions and creations, but also their energy frequency, and the doorway to grace is initiated in one’s life automatically. Coming back to my journey (without getting into personal details because that’s going to be another book all together), in this book, I have taken the universal truth a notch deeper to throw light not only on the tools that lead us to the vertical path, and the lessons that we need to master x

in order to battle through the rut of life our personality self goes through, but I have also tried to throw some light on the ‘SELF’. During the process of writing ‘The Way Ahead’, I made a very conscious effort to keep the book simple, short, practical and easy to read in our chaotic life. Each chapter demanded not more than 40-50 seconds of reading time, but I was certain that the impact would definitely last longer. In fact, after being gracefully acknowledged and appreciated for my book by my readers, audience, friends, family and followers, I got all kinds of feedback, but there was one feedback that changed my entire thought process and really moved me deep inside. I met an acquaintance at a gathering and she said to me, “Oh, by the way, I loved your book. I wake up to it every morning and not only me, but my family reads it too. I really want to know one thing though, how and what really goes on in your mind when you write something that has so much depth. I wonder what kind of situations you must have encountered, the things you must have observed about the human psyche, which have been ignored by so many authors and philosophers, that has made you pay attention to such concerns.” When I heard this, I almost froze because in the nine years of my professional life as a psychic, spiritual coach and a blogger, no one had ever asked me that question or even thought at a human level about ‘what really goes on’. In fact, I never thought of it myself. I get aware, I realise, observe, but in between awareness, realisation and writing I never thought about the inner journey I went through, and that was the day that I started making a conscious effort to pay attention to my own internal thought process. That moment is still so fresh because it really inspired me to format this book xi

in a deeper way to break the thought process down for my readers, in order for them to get a sneak peek into my mind. This is the reason I am writing about what I do. This book is not only a reflection of universal truth through my quotes but it’s also a reflection of why and what really inspired me to write the quote or what I ‘really’ mean by it. In my first book, I’d left it for the reader to derive an understanding or meaning about what they read, depending on the situation they were in, but in this book, I want to convey ‘exactly’ my reason for writing it without making it too dramatic, complicated or philosophical. Those who are familiar with my work know about my voice and the language that I write in, but for those who are not, you have nothing to worry about. The fact that you’ve picked this book up means that you understand basic terms like ‘karma’, ‘self’, ‘energy’, ‘Universe’ etc. Even if you don’t, I promise you that by the time you reach halfway through this book, you will find yourself speaking in the same language. I suggest you play with this book rather than read it from cover to cover. Just hold a question or thought in your head and ask the universe what it is you need to know, gently flip through the pages and read a chapter that calls out to you, and it’s through that you will find your answers, not only to what you must do in order to resolve the situation at the level of the energy inside you, but how you should operate thereon in all situations of your life. In short, it pinpoints the transformation you need to bring about in all layers of levelphysical action, mental reaction and emotional feeling. It’s the energy sum totality of all these dimensions that govern your psyche and choices in life, which has a direct impact xii

on your energy patterns. It’s because of this you attract a lot of situations (not all because a lot of situations are either karmic or created by choice of free will by others around you). By transforming level to level—physical, mental and emotional energy patterns—you will bring about the energy transformation you need, in order to either attract graceful situations or relationships or if something isn’t under your control, you will be able to deal with it strongly and gracefully. When people visit me for personal sessions and healing, I tell them that I can’t alter their time or problems, but I can equip them with the guidance and energy to handle the situation in a better way or at least protect them from getting affected the way they have been in the past. I often say, “Miracle is just a shift in perception.” Once you shift your energy, it’s like a big bang effect that will create miracles in your life without you actually having to do anything much. Through this book, I intend to create a healing space through awareness directed by my words to create a realisation that will help you alter and transform your energies for all the things your soul deserves.

Note from Author

The term ‘ascension’ is of uttermost importance to those who walk the journey of spirituality, healing and selftransformation. But the meaning has never been deeply understood. When we talk about ascension, we usually associate it with Buddha Consciousness and wish to attain that state of mind. We wish to acquire a state of divine being where nothing affects us; there is absolute bliss and calmness. Well, as much as this is true, we also need to go back to the period when this term was defined. In times like those, our ecology, relationship patterns, social systems, and belief patterns were very different from today. Ascension was difficult then and it is still difficult today. But in today’s day and age, it’s an ongoing process. Ascension in today’s day and age can only be acquired by ascending and upgrading in each and every stage. While people think that meditation and learning various spiritual courses is a way to ascend, that’s absolutely a myth. One cannot achieve ascension by enrolling for courses and shutting the mind off during meditation practices. These methods are just tools to give ourselves confidence and strength to work in our daily life with the people around us. The true essence of ascension in today’s world lies in the fact xv
