It is the moment to reckon the truth that you are perhaps not marked for the things that you are seeking in ignorance. It is a sign that the Divine has better plans for you and that there are higher things awaiting you.

To be honest, I don’t actually know as to how and where to progress on the Spiritual path and in Studies. Even the simplest of things, I am finding it difficult to face off. Really don’t know what to do ahead.🌧️🧑‍⚕️💊🫠
