🌿 Where You Are Now
Dear seeker, it’s so natural to wonder who you truly are beneath the surface of this ever-changing body and swirling thoughts. In the quiet moments of doubt or confusion about your identity and purpose, remember: the essence of your being is untouched by time, pain, or change. Let’s gently explore this truth together, for within it lies a profound freedom.
🕉️ Timeless Words
शरीरं यदवाप्नोति यच्चाप्युत्क्रमति तदा।
अन्तकालेऽपि तं देहं तस्य न कश्चित्क्षणं लपेत्॥
(Chapter 2, Verse 13)
English Translation:
Just as the boyhood, youth and old age come to the embodied Soul in this body, in the same manner, is the attaining of another body; the wise man is not deluded at that.
Meaning:
Krishna explains that the soul is eternal and simply moves from one body to another, much like we change clothes. The body is temporary and perishable, but the soul is the true self — unchanging and timeless.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Your true identity is the soul (ātman), not the physical body or mind.
- The body is a temporary vessel, a costume in the play of life, while the soul is the eternal actor.
- Realizing this truth frees you from fear, attachment, and confusion about your purpose.
- Life’s purpose is to awaken to your soul’s nature — pure, infinite, and beyond birth and death.
- Self-realization is the journey inward, beyond the fleeting roles you play in the world.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be feeling lost in the noise of “Who am I really?” The body seems so real—its pain, its desires, its limits. And yet, deep inside, there’s a quiet voice whispering that you are more than this. It’s okay to feel torn; your soul is patiently waiting for you to see beyond the surface. This confusion is a sacred invitation to awaken.
📿 What He Would Say...
“Beloved, do not be swayed by the changing seasons of your body. Just as a person discards old clothes and wears new ones, so does your soul move through bodies. You are not this fragile form, but the eternal witness within. Rest in this knowing, and your purpose will unfold naturally, like the dawn after night.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student who feels overwhelmed by exams, grades, and the pressure to perform. They forget that their true worth is not in the marks on a paper but in their inner spirit — their curiosity, courage, and kindness. The body is like the school uniform, temporary and changeable. Your soul is the student’s shining light, always present, always learning, always free.
✨ Just One Step Today
Take a moment to sit quietly and simply observe your breath. Remind yourself gently: “I am not this breath, but the one who watches the breath.” Let this awareness settle softly in your heart.
🧘 Pause the Scroll
- When I look in the mirror, do I see my true self or just a body?
- How can I nurture the part of me that is eternal and unchanging today?
