## Resource

In this very raw and personal episode of Dil Ki Baat, I’m opening up about my spiritual journey. Growing up in a conservative Pakistani household, religion always felt like a transaction—just collecting "Jannat points." This frustration pushed me towards agnosticism and questioning everything.But eventually, studying evolutionary computing, simulation theory, and science didn't pull me further from the Creator; it actually brought me closer to Him. Here is my story of unlearning cultural dogmas, fighting the human Ego, and finding true spirituality outside the boundaries of organized religion.Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
