🌿 Let’s Begin Here
My dear friend, feeling spiritually dry can be one of the loneliest places in the heart. It’s as if the light you once felt flickers faintly, and doubt creeps in quietly. Yet, this dryness is not a sign of abandonment but a gentle call — a sacred invitation to look deeper. Even in those moments when connection feels distant, Krishna’s presence is as close as your breath, waiting patiently for you to remember.
🕉️ Timeless Words
सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज।
अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः॥
(Chapter 18, Verse 66)
"Abandon all varieties of dharma and just surrender unto Me alone. I will liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear."
This verse reminds us that no matter what spiritual dryness or confusion arises, Krishna’s promise is unwavering. Surrender is the key — not to perfection, but to presence. Even when your heart feels empty, your surrender to Him is enough for liberation and connection.

🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be telling yourself, "I don’t feel Krishna near me. Maybe I’ve failed somehow, or maybe He has forgotten me." That voice of doubt is real and understandable. But it is not the final truth. Your feelings are clouds passing across the vast sky of your soul — Krishna is the sky itself, vast and ever-present, holding space for every storm and every clear moment.
📿 What He Would Say...
"Beloved, even when your heart feels parched and silent, I am with you — closer than your own breath. Do not despair in the dryness, for it is the soil from which new devotion will bloom. Trust me with your doubts; surrender them gently. I carry you always, even when you cannot see or feel Me."

Just as the student trusts the process, trust that this quiet phase is part of your spiritual unfolding.
