🌿 You Are Not Alone
Dear one, I see the weight you carry in your body — the aches, the pains, the restless moments when health feels fragile. It’s not easy to live in a body that sometimes feels like a stranger or a burden. But there is a gentle truth waiting to soothe your heart: your body is not your master, but a devoted servant, a vehicle for your soul’s journey. You can learn to treat it with kindness and respect, without letting suffering define your entire being.
🕉️ Timeless Words
देहिनोऽस्मिन्यथा देहे कौमारं यौवनं जरा।
तथा देहान्तरेऽपि तथा कौमारं यौवनं जरा॥
— भगवद्गीता २.१३
"Just as the boyhood, youth and old age come to the embodied Soul in this body, in the same manner, is the Soul embodied in another body after death. The wise are not deluded by this."
This verse reminds us that the body is temporary, changing through stages like a servant performing its duties. The soul is the true self, eternal and untouched by physical suffering.

🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be telling yourself, “Why does my body betray me? Why must I suffer so much?” It’s normal to feel frustration, even anger. Yet beneath that, there is a quiet part of you that longs to be free — free from pain, free from fear. That part is your soul, watching patiently, inviting you to step beyond the body’s trials.
📿 What He Would Say...
"My dear friend, see your body as a faithful servant, not your master. It carries you through this life, but it is not who you truly are. When pain comes, greet it with compassion, but do not lose sight of the eternal light within you. Nourish the servant, yes — but remember, you are the master of your own spirit, untouched by suffering’s shadows."
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine your body as a car you drive on a long journey. Sometimes the engine sputters, the tires wear thin, or the road gets rough. You don’t curse the car or blame yourself; you care for it, repair it, and keep moving forward. Your soul is the traveler inside, steady and unshaken, guiding the journey with calm assurance.
