🌿 Where You Are Now
Dear one, the weight of comparison can feel like carrying someone else’s burdens on your own shoulders. It quietly steals your joy and dims the light of your unique path. Yet, within you is a spark untouched by others’ achievements or possessions. Let’s gently explore how to free that spark and walk your own sacred journey with peace.
🕉️ Timeless Words
सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज।
अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः॥
— भगवद्गीता १८.६६
"Abandon all varieties of dharma and simply surrender unto Me alone. I will liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear."
This verse teaches us that when we stop clinging to external roles, labels, and comparisons — all the “should be’s” and “must surpass” — and surrender to the essence within, liberation naturally follows. True freedom is found beyond competition and comparison.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Your journey is unique: No one else can walk your exact path or carry your exact lessons.
- Comparison is a veil: It hides your inner worth behind shadows of others’ successes or failures.
- True contentment arises from within: When you simplify desires, you find peace untouched by external measures.
- Surrender to your inner self: Let go of the need to prove or compete; rest in your own divine essence.
- Celebrate others without losing yourself: Admire without envy, learn without judgment.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might hear a voice inside saying, “Why am I not as successful? Why do they have what I want?” That voice can feel loud and convincing, but it’s not the whole truth. It’s okay to feel this way — it means you are human. But remember, your worth is not tied to trophies or rankings. You are already complete, just as you are.
📿 What He Would Say...
“Beloved, why carry the heavy chains of comparison when your soul is already free? Look inward, not outward. When you see yourself as a reflection of the eternal, the race with others loses meaning. Walk your path with steady steps, knowing I am with you — always.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a garden where many flowers bloom — roses, lilies, sunflowers. Each flower grows in its own time, with its own fragrance and color. The rose does not envy the sunflower’s height, nor does the lily wish to be a rose. Each flower simply unfolds, radiant in its own way. So too, your life unfolds uniquely. Comparison is like forcing one flower to be another — it only harms the beauty that is inherently yours.
