Willpower is powerful. It gets us out of bed, pushes us through challenges, and helps us strive for more. But is willpower alone truly enough to find peace and lasting purpose? Imagine trying to cross a vast ocean by swimming—no boat, no support, just your own strength. That’s how many of us live: hustling, meditating, reading self-help books, trying to fix everything through personal effort. While these practices have value, Bhagwan Swaminarayan offers a deeper insight. He reminds us that someone seeking liberation through effort alone, without relying on God’s grace, is like a lone swimmer in the ocean. But the one who turns to God and surrenders to His grace is like a traveler who boards a ship—carried, guided, and protected through the vastness of life. The message is clear: our efforts matter, but grace is essential. You don’t have to carry everything on your own. Yes, show up. Yes, do the work. But also, learn to surrender. Trust. Let something higher carry you when your strength runs out. Because when you board the ship of God’s grace, your journey doesn’t just continue—it transforms. So ask yourself today: are you still swimming alone, or are you ready to board the ship?
