🌿 Let’s Begin Here
The thought of birth and death often stirs a deep, tender ache within us—a mixture of fear, wonder, and sometimes sorrow. It’s natural to feel small before such vast mysteries. Yet, within this cycle lies a profound invitation: to understand who we truly are beyond the changing forms of life and death. You are not alone in this quest, dear soul. There is a timeless wisdom waiting to cradle your heart.
🕉️ Timeless Words
सर्वस्य चाहं हृदि सन्निविष्टो मतिर्मया।
विभूतिं सर्वभूतानां विज्ञानमाधिपतिः ॥
(Chapter 10, Verse 20)
"I am seated in the hearts of all beings; I am the beginning, the middle, and the end of all creation."
This verse reveals that the Divine Essence is the eternal witness within every living being. Although bodies change, the soul — the true self — remains untouched, eternal, and beyond birth and death.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- The soul is eternal — it neither arises when the body is born nor perishes when the body dies.
- Birth and death are like changing clothes for the soul; the body is temporary, but the self is timeless.
- Samsara is the cycle of actions and their consequences, binding us until we realize our true nature.
- Detachment from the body and identification with the soul leads to liberation from this endless cycle.
- Steadiness of mind and devotion to the Divine help transcend fear of death and birth.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be whispering to yourself, "Why must I face this cycle? Will I ever be free from this endless turning?" It’s okay to feel vulnerable when contemplating the unknown. Your heart may feel heavy with loss or anxiety about what comes next. These feelings are the soul’s way of seeking deeper truth — a yearning that is sacred and real.
📿 What He Would Say...
"My dear friend, do not grieve for what is born, nor what must pass away. The soul that you truly are is neither born nor does it die. It is as infinite as the sky, untouched by the storms of change. Trust in this eternal presence within you. When you see yourself as this timeless spirit, you will find peace beyond all fear."
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a traveler changing trains at many stations. Each station is like a birth or death — a transition, not the end. The traveler’s journey continues smoothly, even though the landscape changes. Similarly, your soul moves through many lifetimes, each a station on the path home. The train (your true self) remains constant, no matter how many stops it makes.
