October 1st, 2023.

The day I decided to forgive myself.
The day I picked up the bits and pieces.
The day I decided to move on with my life.
The day I got back to writing again.

Thank you, my Kalyan-Mitra. Thank you, my well-wisher. 🌹🥀

I wouldn't be inspired to write this post had Facebook not sent me this notification.

"You haven't posted in a while. Write a post to connect with people who like Bytes By Bhavin."

The first thing that came to my mind was Facebook acting like the spam callers (suggested by TRAI and Truecaller) who keep irritating the users through sales calls, messages, and notifications. But having read books like Jailer, Jain Ramayana, and Samaraditya Mahakatha (based on and related to Karma and Jainism), I realized that the Facebook notification was my Kalyan-Mitra (Well-wisher).

Who is a well-wisher?
1. Someone who advises you for your wellbeing.
2. Someone who thinks and prays for your betterment.
3. Someone who turns into a guiding light when you find yourself stuck in a situation.

But this answer lacks perfection. A well-wisher is someone who has more than these qualities. Let me share a short story about Gunasen and Agnisharma. (Please note, it's not a complete story.) Prince Gunasen was a bully during his childhood days. He and his friends would chide, bully, torture a boy named Agnisharma. Gunasen and his friends behaved cruelly and wickedly to the extent that made Agnisharma contemplate su***de. But the Universe had some other ideas. Agnisharma got a well-wisher in the form of Kulapati (a learned spiritual sage), who taught him about Dharma and Karma. Inspired by the teachings of Kulapati, Agnisharma took Diksha (renunciation from worldly desires). Time passed by, Gunasen became a benevolent king. Agnisharma became a renowned ascetic. Fate made Gunasen and Agnisharma cross their paths. One of the people hearing Agnisharma's sermons asked him why he became an ascetic. Agnisharma shared the story of his childhood days and later said Gunsasen inspired him to do so. He also noted that Gunasen was his Kalyan-Mitra, his well-wisher, because had Gunasen not oppressed him in his childhood days, then he wouldn't have run away. He wouldn't have thought of committing su***de, and he wouldn't have got the guidance of Kulapati. Gunasen felt ashamed for his deeds and sought Agnisharma's forgiveness. (The story doesn't stop here, it continues for nine cycles of birth and death.)

The abovesaid story expands the definition of a well-wisher.
1. A well-wisher doesn't necessarily be someone who thinks for your wellbeing but still inspires you to achieve something good in life.
2. A well-wisher may not necessarily give you correct advice, but you may still end up on the right path based on your Karmas.
3. A well-wisher may fill your ears with poison and then retract at the time of need, but it may help you win the war at the cost of losing a battle.

With all said, a well-wisher may be a genuine friend, a flatterer, an envious person habitual with backstabbing. It is necessary to acknowledge every person as your well-wisher, as your Kalyan-Mitra. You may not realize how their actions are helping you perform/destroy your Karmas.

If this post makes sense, then do like and share it. And finally, thank you, my Kalyan-Mitra. Thank you, my well-wisher. 🥀🌹

You lose opportunities. You lose status. You lose money. You lose relationships. But in the end, you end up finding yourself. ✨

Never let someone make you a side character in their story. You are meant to burn brighter. Never let this fire extinguish. 🔥

This one's for you, my friends and followers! Stay blessed! 🤗😇😘

Hello Beautiful,

I tried chasing you for so many years. Yet, like an estranged lover, you eluded me and had me forsaken. Today, I celebrate not our union. Today, I celebrate not my win. Today I celebrate my redemption and my closure. 😇

Dear 2021. Please be good and let me finish this. 🙈

Some wish to receive. Some wish to give. Some wish to bare their true selves. Some wish to share their inhibitions.
Some wish for change. Some become the change.

The Universe, my friend, is an unlimited gold mine. No matter how much you ever dig, the resources never exhaust.

The Universe conspires in some or the other way to make your wishes come true.

All you need to do is ASK because it’s called YOUniverse for a reason.

So go on... Make a wish.... because the YOUniverse is conspiring for YOU.

Happy 11:11 on this 11/11.
