🕉️ Timeless Words
नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः ।
न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः ॥
— भगवद्गीता 2.23
"Weapons cannot cut it, fire cannot burn it, water cannot wet it, and wind cannot dry it."
— Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 23
This verse speaks of the soul’s true nature — eternal, untouched by the physical changes and losses we experience. The loved one you grieve is not lost in essence; their true self remains beyond the reach of death or decay.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- The soul is immortal and unchanging; death affects only the body, not the essence.
- Grief is natural but remember the deeper truth of eternal connection beyond form.
- Accept impermanence as a natural rhythm of life’s dance — birth, change, and return.
- Channel your love into remembrance and inner devotion rather than clinging to loss.
- Surrender your pain with trust, knowing the divine presence within all beings never departs.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You may find your mind caught in waves of sorrow, questioning why this had to happen, feeling empty or lost. It’s okay to feel broken — grief is the heart’s way of honoring love. Yet, beneath the pain, there is a stillness waiting to be known, a silent strength that can hold your tears and gently remind you: this too shall pass, and beyond it lies peace.
📿 What He Would Say...
"My dear one, I see your heart’s heaviness and the tears you shed. Know that the soul you mourn is not gone — it dances in the eternal light, free from pain and fear. Let your love not bind but liberate. Trust in the endless cycle of life and death, and find refuge in the unchanging Self within you. I am always near, in your breath, in your silence, in your love."
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a tree in autumn, shedding its leaves. At first, the falling leaves seem like loss — the vibrant colors fade, the branches appear bare and empty. But beneath the surface, the tree’s roots hold firm, drawing life from the earth, preparing for new growth. So too, your heart may feel bare now, but within you lies the root of eternal life, ready to bloom again with new understanding and peace.
