🌿 You Are Not Alone
Dear seeker, I feel the depth of your yearning — that quiet, tender longing to touch something beyond the restless waves of body and mind.

There is a light within you, waiting to be seen.
🕉️ Timeless Words
श्रीभगवानुवाच:
इन्द्रियाणि मनो बुद्धिरस्याद्याः परन्तप |
अव्यक्तादीनि भूतानि व्यक्तमधिष्ठितानि मया ||
(भगवद्गीता १५.७)
Translation:
"The senses, mind, and intellect are said to be born of the unmanifested; all beings are said to be seated in the manifested, O conqueror of enemies."
(Chapter 15, Verse 7)
Explanation:
This verse reveals that the body, senses, mind, and intellect are part of the manifested world — the changing, visible reality. But the soul, the true self, belongs to the unmanifested — beyond form, beyond change. To experience the soul, you must look beyond what you see and feel, beyond your thoughts and identity, into the silent, eternal essence beneath.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- You are not your body or mind. These are instruments, vehicles for experience — but the soul is the silent witness behind them all.
- The ego is a mask, a story you tell yourself. Beneath it lies the pure awareness that has always been, unshaken by roles or labels.
- Stillness reveals the soul. When the mind quiets, the soul’s light shines forth naturally. Meditation and self-inquiry are keys to this stillness.
- Detach from identification. Observe your thoughts and feelings as passing clouds, not as your true self.
- The soul is eternal and unchanging. It is the source of peace and bliss, untouched by birth or death.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be feeling confused — "Who am I really? Is this restless mind all there is? What if I never find that deeper self?" These doubts are natural. Your mind is used to defining you by what it knows: your body, your thoughts, your roles. But inside, there is a quiet voice waiting to be heard — patient and steady. Trust that this voice is your true self, patiently calling you home.
📿 What He Would Say...
"My dear friend, do not be troubled by the waves of the mind or the shape of the body. They are like the ocean’s surface — ever-changing, restless. But beneath lies the deep, still ocean — your soul. Dive inward with love and patience. Know that beyond all forms, you are the eternal light, untouched by time or change. Rest in that truth, and you will find peace that no outer circumstance can shake."
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine you are watching a movie on a screen. The screen itself never changes — it simply holds the images and sounds. Sometimes the movie is joyful, sometimes sad, but the screen remains calm and clear. Your body and mind are like the movie; your soul is like the screen. No matter what story is playing, the screen is always there, steady and silent. To experience your soul is to realize you are the screen, not the flickering scenes.
✨ Just One Step Today
Take five minutes today to sit quietly and simply watch your thoughts without judgment. Imagine you are the screen watching the movie — notice the thoughts come and go, but you remain calm and steady. This small pause is a doorway to your soul.
🧘 Pause the Scroll
- When I observe my thoughts and feelings, can I sense a part of me that is simply watching, untouched?
- How often do I identify myself with passing emotions or roles, rather than the silent self beneath?
