🕉️ Timeless Words
शरीरं यदवाप्नोति यच्चाप्युत्सृज्यते।
सर्वमेतद्विमृश्यैतदात्मन्येव विन्दति॥
(भगवद्गीता ६.५)
śarīraṃ yadavāpnoti yaccāpyutsṛjyate |
sarvametadvimṛśyaita dātmanyeva vindati ||

English Translation:
Whatever the body gains or loses, whatever pleasures or pains it experiences—
the yogi, discerning all this, remains rooted in the Self alone.

🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be telling yourself, “Why am I so weak? When will this pain end? How can I find peace when my body betrays me?” These feelings are valid and deeply human. It’s okay to feel frustrated or scared. But within that turmoil, there is a quieter voice inviting you to rest — to simply be — beyond all struggle.
📿 What He Would Say...
“My dear one, your body is like a passing cloud, sometimes heavy with rain, sometimes light with sunshine. But your true Self is the vast sky—unchanged, endless, and serene. When your body feels weak, turn your gaze inward. There, you will find a stillness that no illness can touch. Trust in this inner refuge, and let your mind bathe in its calm.”

But instead of forcing the mind to race, the student closes their eyes and breathes deeply, remembering the core of their being—their true wisdom beyond grades and stress. In this quiet, the mind finds strength, and healing begins, little by little.
