🌿 Let’s Begin Here
Dear soul, I see the weight you carry—the heaviness that dims the light within. Depression can feel like a long, dark night where hope seems distant and peace, elusive. Yet, within you lies a spark untouched by the shadows. Spirituality is not a magic cure, but a gentle, steady companion that can help you navigate this darkness with tenderness and profound healing. You are not alone in this journey.
🕉️ Timeless Words
सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज |
अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ||
(भगवद्गीता १८.६६)
"Abandon all varieties of dharma and simply surrender unto Me alone. I will liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear."
— Chapter 18, Verse 66
This verse is a divine invitation to release the burdens of judgment, guilt, and fear. It reminds us that surrendering to the Divine, with trust and openness, can bring liberation from the deepest pains, including the heaviness of depression.

🌊 Inner Dialogues
It’s okay to feel lost, overwhelmed, or stuck. Your mind may tell you, “I am broken,” or “This will never end.” These thoughts are heavy clouds, but they do not define your true being. Your heart’s silent yearning for peace is real and valid. You are seen, you are heard, and your struggle is honored.

“My dear friend, do not fear the darkness that envelops you. Just as the night gives way to dawn, so too will your heart find light. Surrender your burdens to Me — I am here to carry them with you.

🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student overwhelmed by exams, feeling trapped by anxiety and despair. One day, a trusted teacher tells them, “You have prepared well. Now breathe, trust yourself, and let go of the outcome.” The student learns to face the challenge with calm, not by forcing control, but by surrendering to the process. Like that student, your journey through depression is not about rushing or fighting the darkness, but about gentle trust and patience with yourself.
