🕉️ Timeless Words
सङ्कल्प्यात्मनात्मानं तत्त्वतो न संशयः |
धैर्यं च हि न संशयं महत्त्वं च जीवितस्य ||
(Chapter 18, Verse 35)
“By truly understanding the self, there is no doubt; courage and greatness in life arise from this.”
This verse reminds us that real courage is born from deep self-knowledge. When you see yourself clearly — beyond fear and illusion — strength naturally blooms.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Know Thyself: Fear loses its power when you remember your true nature — eternal and unshakable.

🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be telling yourself, “I’m too weak to handle this,” or “What if I fail and crumble?” These thoughts feel heavy and real. But inside you, there’s a quieter voice whispering, “I want to be brave.” It’s okay to feel afraid — that does not make you small. It makes you human. Let your heart listen to that softer voice, the one that longs for strength and peace.
📿 What He Would Say...

Trust in your inner self — the part of you that is untouched by any storm. Stand firm in your truth, and know that every challenge is a step closer to your own greatness.”
