🌿 Let’s Begin Here
Dear soul, facing the mystery of death is one of the deepest challenges life offers. It stirs fear, sadness, and sometimes a feeling of helplessness. Yet within this very uncertainty lies a profound invitation — to see beyond the final breath, to understand the eternal essence that death cannot touch. You are not alone in this journey, and the wisdom of the Gita can gently light your path through grief and impermanence.
🕉️ Timeless Words
न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचि न्न्नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः।
अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे॥
(Chapter 2, Verse 20)
Translation:
The soul is never born, nor does it ever die; it did not spring from something, and nothing springs from it. It is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval. It is not slain when the body is slain.
Meaning:
This verse reminds us that our true self — the soul — is beyond birth and death. The body changes and perishes, but the soul remains untouched, timeless, and immortal. Death is only a transition, not an end.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- The body is temporary, but the soul is eternal and indestructible.
- Death is not annihilation but a change of form, like changing clothes.
- Grief arises from attachment to the body and external forms, not from the soul’s reality.
- Understanding impermanence helps us live fully without fear of loss.
- Surrendering to the divine order brings peace in the face of death.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You may feel a heavy weight in your chest — the ache of loss or the fear of the unknown. Your mind might whisper, “Why does this have to happen? What if I lose those I love?” These feelings are natural and deeply human. It’s okay to feel vulnerable. Your heart is tender because it loves deeply. Allow yourself to grieve, but also remind yourself that beneath the pain, your true essence remains whole and untouched.
📿 What He Would Say...
"My dear one, do not grieve for the body that you see changing and fading. The soul within you and your loved ones is eternal, beyond all birth and death. Just as a person discards old clothes and wears new ones, so too does the soul move on. Trust this eternal truth. Hold onto Me, and you will find peace even in the face of loss."
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student who finishes one school year and moves on to the next. The classroom changes, the teachers change, but the student’s inner self—their curiosity, their spirit—continues to grow. Death is like moving from one classroom to another, a transition in the journey of the soul. The sadness of leaving friends behind is real, but the essence of the student remains, ready to learn anew.
