🌿 Where You Are Now
My dear friend, grief is like a silent river flowing deep within the heart—sometimes calm, sometimes overwhelming. When someone we love leaves this world, the emptiness feels unbearable. But know this: your sorrow is a sacred expression of love, and healing is possible. The Bhagavad Gita offers gentle light to guide you through this tender, painful journey of loss.
🕉️ Timeless Words
न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचि न्न्नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः।
अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे॥
(Chapter 2, Verse 20)
English Translation:
The soul is never born, nor does it ever die; it does not come into being again when the body is born, nor does it cease to be when the body dies. It is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval. It is not slain when the body is slain.
Meaning:
This verse reminds us that the true self—the soul—is beyond birth and death. The body is temporary, but the soul’s essence is eternal. Though it may feel like everything is lost, the soul’s journey continues beyond the physical world.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Grief is natural but remember: the soul you mourn is timeless and free from suffering.

🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be whispering to yourself, “How can I live without them? Will this pain ever end? Am I alone in this?” These feelings are real and profound. It’s okay to feel lost and broken. Grief doesn’t mean weakness—it means you loved deeply. Your heart is carrying their memory, and that is sacred. Let yourself feel, but also gently remind yourself that this too shall pass.
📿 What He Would Say...
“My dear one, do not grieve as if the soul is lost. The soul you cherish is beyond the reach of death. Just as you change clothes, the soul changes bodies. I am with you always, in every breath and every tear. Let your heart open to trust in the eternal journey. Your love is not ending—it is transforming. Walk gently with your sorrow, for in time, it will become the soil where new peace grows.”

The teacher’s physical presence is gone, but their spirit guides the student’s steps forever. So too, your loved one’s essence remains with you, invisible but deeply present.
