🌿 Where You Are Now
My dear friend, carrying the weight of regret and guilt for your younger self can feel like a heavy burden pressing on your heart. Yet, within you lies the gentle strength to heal and forgive. Remember, every soul grows through its journey — even through mistakes. There is hope, and the possibility of peace, waiting patiently for you to embrace it with kindness.
🕉️ Timeless Words
सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज ।
अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥
(भगवद्गीता 18.66)
"Abandon all varieties of dharma and simply surrender unto Me alone. I will liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear."
This verse reminds us that no matter what has happened in the past, surrendering with trust and love can free us from the weight of guilt and regret. Forgiveness begins when we let go of harsh judgment and open our heart to divine compassion.

🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be whispering to yourself, “How could I have been so careless? I don’t deserve peace.” These thoughts are natural but gently remind yourself: you were learning, evolving, just like everyone else. The pain you feel now is a sign of your growth, not your failure. You are more than your past actions.
📿 What He Would Say...
"Beloved soul, do not be bound by the shadows of your past mistakes. I see your heart and the sincere longing within. Release your younger self with love, for that self was a seed from which your present strength has blossomed. Walk forward with trust — I am here, always, to carry you through."
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a young artist who paints a canvas with trembling hands, unsure and imperfect. At first, the strokes seem clumsy, the colors mixed wrong. But over time, with patience and practice, the artist learns, and the painting becomes a masterpiece. Your younger self was that artist — trying, learning, imperfect but precious. Forgive those first strokes; they were necessary steps toward your beautiful present.
