Surrender is the path

We Teach What We Need To Learn

-Kali Grayce

Belly full of fruit, bathtub full of flowers,

Soaking into her cells—the place she once lost power.

This world wears her down the longer she’s in it,

A body in pain when it forgets its limits.

Somewhere along the way, she lost her spark,

She sees only shadows—believing the world is dark.

Slow down, child,

There’s no need to rush.

Soften your edges,

Embrace a gentle touch.

Breathe in deeply,

Feel the earth below.

You are safe here—

There’s nowhere to go.

Dreaming of paradise, where the body feels lighter,

God gave her this struggle because He knows she’s a fighter.

But struggle is not a badge to be earned,

We end up teaching what we need to learn.

Her limiting beliefs keep her chained to the floor,

Forgetting her essence, what she is at the core.

Identifying with form, she fights to break free,

Forgetting that deep down, she’s pure energy.

When all is said and done, we’re skin and bones,

Where is the place she will finally call home?

So fuck the scale—who cares about size?

None of it matters—when will she realize?

She is not this body. She is not this mind.

God’s creation—whole and divine.

We remember to forget. Forget to remember.

The key to samadhi is unconditional surrender.

Recite the mantras.

Perform the asana.

And whenever you’re in doubt—

Ishvara Pranidhana.

Kali Ma, tear away the illusion,

strip me of all that is not mine to hold.

Let me fall freely into your arms,

trusting the divine flow that carries me home.

I release. I remember. I return.

Ishvara Pranidhana.
