The Altar of Convenience

"We no longer bow to gods. We kneel to comfort."

Once, we rose with the sun and gave thanks.Once, we walked with intention, aligned with sacred rhythms—of breath, of earth, of silence. Now?

We tap. We swipe. We scroll.Our rituals are digitized.Our temples are screens.And the altar… is convenience.

Convenience has become the god of the modern age.

Why climb the mountain when we can order the view?Why cook with love when we can microwave our cravings?Why pray when we can post?

But make no mistake: what we serve shapes us.And comfort, though seductive, is a cruel master.

• It dulls the senses.

• It starves the spirit.

• It replaces sacred effort with empty ease.

  
  

Devotion demands discipline.Ritual requires presence.Depth does not come to the distracted.

There is something holy in the act of doing things the hard way. Lighting a candle with intention.Preparing a meal with your hands.Sitting in stillness when the world screams for noise.

These acts don’t make headlines.But they keep the soul alive.

We were not made to worship ease.

We were made to wrestle with meaning. To sweat for understanding. To bleed for beauty. To remember that what is sacred often costs something.

And yet we trade all this for speed, comfort, and shallow convenience.

We wonder why we feel empty…But what else could we expect from a life lived at the altar of what’s easy?

This is your invitation.

Return to the fire.Return to the slow.Return to the real.

Let your life become a ceremony again—not a series of shortcuts.
