🌿 Where You Are Now
My dear friend, feeling worthless is a heavy shadow to carry in your heart. I see the pain behind your silence, the quiet ache that whispers you’re not enough. But know this — your true self is untouched by these dark thoughts. There is a light within you, eternal and pure, waiting patiently to be recognized. You are infinitely valuable, even when your mind cannot feel it. Let us gently explore the wisdom of the Gita together, to find that spark of hope and self-love again.
🕉️ Timeless Words
न मे पार्थास्ति कर्तव्यं त्रिषु लोकेषु किञ्चन।
नानवाप्तमवाप्तव्यं वर्त एव च कर्मणि॥
— भगवद्गीता 18.17
na me pārthāsti kartavyaṃ triṣu lokeṣhu kiñchana
nānāvāptam-avāptavyaṃ varta eva cha karmaṇi
Translation:
"O Partha, in all the three worlds, there is nothing that I have to do, nor anything unattained that I must attain; yet I continue to act."
Meaning:
Krishna tells Arjuna that the Divine does not act out of obligation or lack. This reminds us that our worth is not tied to what we do or achieve. Like Krishna, your essence is complete and whole, beyond your actions or failures. You are valuable simply by being.

🌊 Inner Dialogues
It’s okay to feel lost and small sometimes. Your mind may say, “I’m not enough,” or “I’ve failed.” These thoughts are heavy and real in your experience, and they deserve gentle attention, not harsh dismissal. You are not alone in this struggle. Many carry these burdens silently. Remember, feelings are not facts — they are visitors, not permanent residents.
📿 What He Would Say...
"My dear one, do not measure your worth by the fleeting shadows of your mind. You are not your failures, nor your fears. You are the eternal spirit, pure and whole. Even when you feel broken, I am there — steady and loving. Trust that your true self is beyond all doubt and darkness. Rise gently, for you are infinitely precious."
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student struggling with a difficult exam, feeling like they are failing at everything. They believe they are worthless because of one test score. But the wise teacher reminds them: “Your value is not in this single moment. You are more than any grade or mistake. Like a seed that may lie dormant beneath the soil, your potential is hidden but very much alive.” Just as the seed grows into a beautiful tree, your true worth will blossom beyond these hard days.
