🌿 Let’s Begin Here
Beloved soul, I sense the heaviness you carry when your darkest moments seem to define you. It’s so natural to feel trapped by those shadows, as if they are the whole story of who you are. But remember, even the night is not the sky—it is only a part of the vastness above. Your true self is far greater, untouched by any moment of pain or despair. There is hope, and you are not alone in this journey.
🕉️ Timeless Words
न त्वहं कार्यमिति मतोऽस्मि न कर्मणि लोकसि न मे कर्मफलानि सङ्गानि त्वया जातानि सर्वानि।
(Chapter 18, Verse 59)
na tvahaṃ kāryamiti mato'smi na karmaṇi lokasi na me karmaphalāni saṅgāni tvayā jātāni sarvāni.
Translation:
"I am not the doer, nor am I the cause of action in this world. Nor do I have any attachment to the fruits of actions; none of the results of actions belong to me."
Explanation:
This verse gently reminds us that the true Self is beyond actions and their outcomes. Your identity is not limited to what happens to you or what you do—even your lowest moments are not the essence of who you are. You are the silent witness, untouched and free.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- You are the eternal witness, not the temporary emotions or events. Your pain is a passing cloud, not your sky.
- Attachment to any moment, good or bad, creates suffering. Learn to observe without clinging.
- Your true nature is pure consciousness, beyond all fluctuations of the mind.
- Suffering and joy are like waves on the ocean; the ocean itself remains calm and vast.
- Healing begins when you stop labeling yourself by your lowest points and recognize your deeper, unchanging essence.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
It’s okay to feel lost and overwhelmed right now. You might be telling yourself, "This darkness is who I am; I’m broken beyond repair." That voice, though loud, is not the ultimate truth. It’s a story your mind is telling, shaped by pain. Your heart knows there is more—a light waiting to be seen beyond the shadows.
📿 What He Would Say...
"My dear friend, do not mistake the passing storm for the eternal sky. You are not your pain, nor your mistakes, nor your moments of despair. I am with you, always, reminding you that your soul is untouched by all that seems to weigh you down. Rest in that truth. Let go gently, and find peace in your own being."
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student who fails an important exam. At first, they feel crushed, believing this failure defines their worth and future. But with time, reflection, and support, they see that this one moment does not capture their whole story. They are still capable, still learning, still growing. Just like that student, your lowest moments are only chapters, not your entire book.
✨ Just One Step Today
Take five quiet minutes to simply observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment—like watching clouds pass by. Notice that you are the sky, not the clouds.
