There is a gentle path through these emotional tides, one that honors your heart’s rhythm while guiding you toward peace.
🕉️ Timeless Words
Chapter 12, Verse 15
"यस्मान्नोद्विजते लोको लोकान्नोद्विजते च यः ।
हर्षामर्षभयोद्वेगैर्मुक्तो यः स च मे प्रियः ॥"
Yasmān nodvijate loko lokān nodvijate ca yaḥ |
Harṣāmarṣabhayodvegair mukto yaḥ sa ca me priyaḥ ||
— Bhagavad Gita 12.15
Translation:
He by whom the world is not agitated and who cannot be agitated by the world, who is freed from joy, envy, fear, and anxiety — he is dear to Me.
Meaning:
True love and peace come when you remain steady amid emotional highs and lows — not swept away by elation or despair. This balance is what Krishna calls dear.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Love with equanimity: Feel deeply but don’t let your happiness or sadness control you.
- Observe without attachment: Witness your emotions like clouds passing in the sky, not permanent storms.
- Release fear and envy: These disturb your heart’s calm and block true connection.
- Seek inner steadiness: Your love is strongest when your soul is peaceful, not reactive.
- Remember your worth beyond love’s fluctuations: You are whole, with or without another.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be telling yourself, “Why do I feel so up and down? Is this love or just suffering? Will I ever find calm in my heart?” These questions come from a place of vulnerability, and that is brave. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed — your heart is learning how to hold space for both joy and pain. Trust that this too is part of your growth.
📿 What He Would Say...
“My dear friend, the heart that loves deeply will feel the storms of emotion. But know this: you are not your feelings. You are the silent watcher behind them. When you steady your gaze and do not cling to the highs or resist the lows, your love becomes a river — flowing freely, unshaken by rocks or rapids. Trust in your own inner strength; I am always with you in this journey.”

Yet, the wise student learns to keep studying steadily, neither carried away by excitement nor crushed by anxiety. Love, too, asks for this steady heart — to hold both joy and challenge with equal care, so you don’t lose your way.
