It’s believed that Agasthya Siddhar gave Gorakanathar the duty to safeguard the secrets of Alchemy. Thus, even today, people pursuing Alchemy is advised to pray to Gorakanathar Siddhar in order +

If you have a spiritual practice, this would be a good time to double down on it.
If you don’t have a spiritual practice, this wouldn’t be the worst time to start one.

Thread on why
Do yr spiritual practice. Even when you don't feel like it.
“Hardly does our head begin to ache than we stop going to choir, which won’t kill us either. We stay away 1 day bc our head ached, another bc it was just now aching & 3 more so that it won’t ache again.” Teresa of Avila
Ok: a spiritual practice. Something that you do regularly, and if you do it with the right intention, can transform your relationship to yourself, other people, the world and your place in it and (if this resonates with you) the divine.
