🌿 You Are Not Alone
Dear soul, I see the weight you carry — the heavy burden of blame for things beyond your reach. It’s natural to feel this way, to want to make sense of pain by holding yourself responsible. But know this: you are not alone, and your heart deserves gentle forgiveness. There is a path to release this suffering, a way to soften the grip of guilt and embrace peace.
🕉️ Timeless Words
न त्वेवाहं जातु नासं न त्वं नेमे जनाधिपाः।
न चैव न भविष्यामः सर्वे वयमतः परम्॥
(Chapter 2, Verse 12)
"Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be."
This verse reminds us that life’s flow is eternal and beyond our limited moments of control. The blame we place on ourselves is often tied to fleeting moments, but the Self remains untouched and timeless beyond these events.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- You are not the doer of everything: Many things happen beyond your control; your responsibility is to act with sincerity, not to carry the whole world’s burden.
- Forgiveness starts within: Be as kind to yourself as you would be to a dear friend who is hurting.
- Detach from outcomes: Your duty is effort, not the result—release attachment to what you cannot change.
- The present moment is your refuge: Let go of past regrets by anchoring in the now, where healing begins.
- Your true Self is beyond blame: The soul is untouched by mistakes; it is pure, whole, and free.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
It’s okay to feel stuck in self-blame. Your mind might be whispering, “If only I had done differently...” or “I should have prevented this.” These thoughts are natural but don’t define your worth. Behind this inner critic is a tender heart longing for peace. Listen to that heart and remind it gently: you are learning, growing, and deserving of compassion.
📿 What He Would Say...
“My dear one, do not carry the weight of the uncontrollable as if it were your own. Like the river flows around stones, let your heart flow around these moments without damming yourself with blame. You are a spark of the eternal — pure, unblemished by transient mistakes. Forgive yourself as I forgive you, and step forward with courage and love.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student who studied hard for an exam but fell ill on the day of the test. Despite all preparation, the outcome was not in their hands. Would you blame them for the illness? Of course not. Similarly, life’s events sometimes unfold beyond your control, and blaming yourself is like punishing the student for the unexpected rain. Be gentle with yourself, as you would with a friend in such a situation.
