🌿 You Are Not Alone
Dear soul, I see you carrying the weight of your past mistakes, the silent ache of regret that shadows your every step. It’s natural to feel this way—our hearts often replay what we wish we could change. Yet, within this struggle lies a gentle invitation: to learn, to forgive yourself, and to move forward with grace. You are not alone in this journey, and the light of wisdom can soften even the deepest regrets.
🕉️ 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 the soul is eternal, untouched by the mistakes of the past. Regret arises when we identify ourselves only with the temporary body and moments. But the true self remains beyond all errors and time. Your essence is pure and constant, no matter what has happened.

🌊 Inner Dialogues
It’s okay to feel the sting of regret. Your mind might say, “If only I had done differently,” and your heart might ache with “I’m not good enough.” These voices are part of your healing process. But remember, they do not define you. You are more than your past. Each breath you take is a new chance, a fresh page waiting for your courage and kindness.
📿 What He Would Say...
“Beloved, do not be lost in the shadows of what once was. The soul never errs, only the mind wanders. Release your grip on past mistakes like a leaf falling from a tree—natural and necessary. Focus instead on your present actions, for that is where your true power lies. I am with you in every moment, guiding your heart toward peace.”
