🕉️ Timeless Words
सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज ।
अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥
(Chapter 18, Verse 66)
"Abandon all varieties of dharma and simply surrender unto Me alone. I will liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear."
This verse is a profound invitation from Krishna to surrender completely — not as a sign of giving up, but as a sacred release of burdens. It means that when the mind feels overwhelmed and lost, turning inward and surrendering to the divine presence can bring liberation from the weight of suffering.

🌊 Inner Dialogues
It’s okay to feel lost, tired, and unsure if relief will ever come. Your mind might whisper, "Why me? When will this pain end?" These thoughts are real and valid. But remember, feeling this way does not mean you are broken or alone. Your suffering is a chapter, not your whole story.
📿 What He Would Say...
"My dear one, do not fear the night within you. I am here, always, waiting silently in the depths of your heart. When the mind is overwhelmed, surrender to Me—not as defeat, but as a sacred trust. I will carry your burdens, and together, we will find the dawn. You are more than this moment of darkness."

Then, a wise teacher invites them to pause, breathe, and trust in their preparation and inner strength. Slowly, the student learns to release the panic and find calm focus.
