🌿 Where You Are Now
Dear one, I feel the gentle tug of your heart — the restless pull of desires that seem to define you, yet also bind you. It’s so human to want, to crave, to long. But beneath those wants lies a deeper yearning: to be free, to breathe without the chains of attachment. You are not alone in this journey. Let us walk together toward that quiet freedom where the soul dances lightly, untouched by fleeting desires.
🕉️ Timeless Words
सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज ।
अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥
(Chapter 18, Verse 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 true freedom comes not from clinging to desires or identities but from surrendering to the eternal Self within. When you let go of the need to define yourself by what you want, you open the door to liberation.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Desires are like waves: They rise and fall, but the ocean beneath remains calm and vast.
- Detach from the fruits: Focus on your actions, not on the outcomes or cravings attached to them.
- See the Self beyond wants: Your true essence is untouched by temporary desires.
- Surrender gently: Freedom blooms when you trust the flow of life rather than resist it.
- Practice mindful witnessing: Observe your wants without judgment, allowing them to come and go like clouds in the sky.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be whispering to yourself, "If I stop wanting, will life lose its color? Who am I without my desires?" These fears are natural. Our mind often confuses desire with identity, as if without them, we would be empty. But dear soul, beneath the noise of wants, there is a silent, steady presence that has always been whole and free. You are not your desires — you are the space in which they appear and vanish.
📿 What He Would Say...
"My beloved, do not fear letting go. Just as a bird must release the branch to soar higher, you too must release your attachments to rise into freedom. I am here within you, the eternal witness. When you stop identifying with what you want, you discover the unchanging peace that is your true nature. Trust me, and step lightly into this vastness."
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student clutching a single exam result as if it defines their entire worth. Anxiety grips them, sleepless nights follow, and their world narrows to that one outcome. But when they finally breathe, realizing that their value is not tied to a single mark, they open to learning, growth, and joy beyond grades. Similarly, your wants are just one part of your vast being — not the whole story.
