🌿 You Are Not Alone
Dear one, I hear the quiet trembling in your heart — the restless mind that spins stories of what might go wrong. It’s a heavy burden to carry, this weight of fear and “what ifs.” Yet, within you lies a stillness waiting to be found, a light that can gently dissolve the shadows of anxiety. Let us walk together through the timeless wisdom of the Gita, where courage blooms even in the darkest moments.
🕉️ 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 existence is eternal and continuous. The fears that cloud your mind are about temporary moments, but your true self is beyond time and change. Fear arises when we forget this eternal nature and cling to fragile, passing things.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Fear and anxiety come from attachment to outcomes, but the soul remains untouched by any change.
- Focus on your present action, not the uncertain future; the future unfolds as it must.
- Trust in the eternal nature of your being — you are more than your worries.
- Cultivate steady awareness, observing your fears without being consumed by them.
- Surrender the need to control every outcome; peace grows in acceptance.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
It’s natural to feel overwhelmed when your mind races through endless “what if” scenarios. You might tell yourself, “If I don’t prepare for the worst, I’ll be caught off guard.” Or, “What if everything falls apart?” These thoughts echo loudly, but they are just stories—not the truth of your being. You are not your fears, and there is a part of you that watches these worries with calm and compassion.
📿 What He Would Say...
“Beloved soul, do not be ensnared by the illusions of fear. The future is not yours to command, nor is it yours to dread. Stand firm in the knowledge of your eternal self — unchanging, pure, and free. When you lose yourself in the maze of ‘what ifs,’ remember: I am with you, steady and unshaken. Breathe deeply, and return to the present moment, where your true power resides.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student before a big exam, heart pounding with fear of failure. They imagine the worst — flunking, disappointing loved ones, never recovering. But when the exam day arrives, they focus on what they can do now: reading one page, solving one problem. Slowly, the storm of anxiety settles, replaced by calm effort. Like this student, your mind can learn to focus on the present action instead of the uncertain future.
✨ Just One Step Today
Today, pause for a moment and notice when your mind drifts to worst-case scenarios. Gently bring your attention back to your breath. Just five mindful breaths can remind you: you are here, now, safe in this moment.
