3rd Journey Towards Self-Realisation - When the Universe Spoke Back

Part 3: When the Universe Spoke Back

The Silence That Spoke Louder Than Words

There comes a time when the world becomes silent —

and the only voice you hear is the Universe itself.

During the lockdown of COVID-19, when the world stood still,

I found myself completely alone at home.

My family had gone to Ahmedabad soon after my elder daughter’s exams —

and due to restrictions, they got stuck there.

I was alone for 99 days — but not lonely.

Because in those 99 days, the Universe became my closest companion.

The Dialogue with the Universe

In that stillness, something magical happened.

Under the guidance of the Universe, I began creating —

educational, motivational, and spiritual videos.

They weren’t just recordings — they were conversations between me and the divine energy I call “Universe.”

Together, we reached out to teachers, parents, students, and even strangers —

anyone who needed a little light during those dark days.

Many teachers then were struggling to shift to online teaching.

With the Universe guiding me, I helped them learn digital tools,

create online classrooms, and rebuild their confidence.

It was not teaching — it was healing through knowledge.

The Presence Beyond Presence

I managed everything alone — cooking, cleaning, teaching, editing, and researching -

yet I never felt alone.

There was a strange, warm presence in the room,

a silent assurance that said, “I am here.”

Every time I faced a challenge — a technical issue, a moment of fatigue —

the Universe seemed to whisper a solution through intuition.

And somehow, every small miracle fell into place.

Blessings and Realisations

Those 99 days became a sacred retreat.

They taught me that peace doesn’t come from comfort —

it comes from connection.

The blessings, messages, and gratitude I received

from teachers, parents, and learners felt like divine rewards.

That phase deepened my understanding:

“When you serve others selflessly,

the Universe serves you silently.”

Reflection

Earlier, I had asked, “Who am I?”

Now, I began to see the reflection of that answer —

I am not separate from the Universe; I am its instrument.

The same questions that once disturbed me

were now being answered — not through words, but through actions.

Takeaway

When life locks you down,

perhaps the Universe is unlocking you from within.

The 99 days of solitude became 99 lessons in faith, resilience, and grace.

Those days did not isolate me — they initiated me.

From the Desk of the Author

COVID-19 taught me one eternal truth —

that even in isolation, we are never alone.

The Universe is always speaking;

we just need silence deep enough to hear it.

Note / Appeal

Dear readers,

if you ever find yourself alone, don’t rush to escape that silence.

Sit with it. Listen. Create.

Because the moment you stop running from loneliness,

it transforms into divine company.

Stay tuned for Part 4 - “The Universe Within the Classroom,”

where I’ll share how those realizations shaped my teaching,

my relationships, and my mission through Mathivation HUB.
