🌿 You Are Not Alone
I know these thoughts can feel heavy—wondering about life after death, about what happens when this body grows old and fades. It’s natural to feel a mix of curiosity, fear, and sometimes even confusion. You’re not alone in this journey. There is a deep, eternal rhythm unfolding beyond what we see, and the Gita offers a gentle light to guide us through these mysteries.
🕉️ Timeless Words
न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचि न्नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः।
अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे॥
(Chapter 2, Verse 20)
“For the soul, there is neither birth nor death at any time. It is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval. It is not slain when the body is slain.”
This verse reminds us that the true self — the soul — is timeless. Our physical form changes, ages, and eventually dies, but the soul continues beyond these changes. Birth and death belong to the body, not the eternal essence within.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- The soul is eternal and does not perish with the body.
- Rebirth happens because the soul carries impressions (karma) that shape its future journey.
- Life is a continuous cycle of birth, death, and rebirth until liberation (moksha) is attained.
- The way one lives, their actions and attachments, influence the circumstances of the next birth.
- Understanding this can ease the fear of death and inspire living with awareness and purpose.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be feeling unsettled, wondering if death is an end or just a doorway. Perhaps there’s a fear of the unknown or a sadness about losing loved ones. It’s okay to feel this way. Your heart is seeking clarity and comfort, and that’s a beautiful sign of your deep yearning for truth.
📿 What He Would Say...
“Beloved soul, do not grieve for the body that wears away like old clothes. I am the eternal witness within you, untouched by time or change. Your essence moves onward, carrying the seeds of your actions. Live with courage and wisdom, for every moment shapes the path ahead. Trust in the eternal nature of your being, and find peace in that knowing.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student who changes schools every few years. Each school is different, with new teachers and friends, but the student remains the same at the core. The experiences at each school shape the student's growth. Similarly, the soul moves through different bodies like changing schools, learning and evolving until it finds the ultimate home — freedom from all cycles.
