🌀 Ativrushti Anavrushti: When Too Much Is As Harmful As Too Little - By Satya | Bhuangan Blog

Neither flood nor drought nurtures life. Only the quiet stream sustains.

🌧️ The Wisdom in Rain

There’s a saying in our place:
“Ativrushti Anavrushti.”
Too much, or too little — both are dangerous.

It may speak of rain and harvest, but its wisdom goes far beyond weather.
It speaks to the rhythms of your body.
To the rituals we follow.
To the silence between advice and action.

“Moderation is sacred. Balance is everything.”

🧬 Your Body Is Ancient — And Uniquely Yours

No one comes into this world empty-minded or blank-bodied.
You carry within you the memory of generations — in your genes, in your gut, in your cells.
What works for one may not work for you — and that’s not a flaw. It’s your fingerprint.

Some bodies absorb quickly, some resist at first, some bloom slowly over time.
So when someone suggests a healing practice, a food ritual, or a spiritual fix — listen.
But then… pause.

Ask:

Is this right for my pace?
Does this honor my past?
Is this a flood when I need a stream?

🌱 Start Small. Go Slow. Don’t Overturn Your World Overnight.

Your body is not a trend to hack.
It’s a landscape to understand.

Take advice, take inspiration — yes.
But don’t bulldoze your entire life overnight. That overwhelm?
It’s why so many start strong, then quit.
Because they rushed to follow, instead of learning to adapt.

“If one tulsi tea helps, you don’t need five.
If one sun salutation feels right, you don’t need fifty.”

Understand first, then begin. Begin small, then walk.
Let your body trust you again.

🌸 Your Pace Is Sacred

Some see results in days.
Others — months.
And for a few — it takes years.

But here’s the secret:
If you give your body the right inputs — something is happening.
You may not feel it yet, but your body is listening, shifting, responding.
Not all healing makes noise.

So as long as there’s no harm — continue.
Let time and patience do their invisible work.
But never — ever — cross the line of balance.

“Too little and nothing grows.
Too much and everything drowns.”

🕊️ A Bhuangan Thought to Carry:

“Even sacred things, when overdone, become burdens.
True wellness is knowing how much, when, and why.”

So next time someone offers you a practice, a mantra, a diet, or a lifestyle:
👉🏽 Don’t reject it.
👉🏽 Don’t copy it blindly.

Reflect. Adjust. Listen. And then, if it feels right, begin. Slowly. Gently. With respect.

Because your body is not slow.
It is sacred.
And sacred things take time.
