🌿 Let’s Begin Here
My dear friend, I see the heavy weight of grief resting on your heart like a silent storm. It’s okay to feel lost in this darkness; your pain is real and deeply human. Yet, within this shadow, there is a gentle light waiting to guide you — a light that the Bhagavad Gita calls forth with timeless compassion and wisdom. You are not alone in this journey, and healing is possible, step by tender step.
🕉️ Timeless Words
न त्वेवाहं जातु नासं न त्वं नेमे जनाधिपाः।
न चैव न भविष्यामः सर्वे वयमतः परम्॥
(Chapter 2, Verse 12)
English Translation:
"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."
Meaning:
This verse reminds us that our true self — the soul — is eternal. Grief often traps us in the illusion of finality and loss, but the Gita gently reveals that life’s essence never truly disappears. Your pain is part of a larger, unbroken flow of existence.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Grief is part of the human experience, but your soul is beyond it.
- Accept your feelings without resistance; they are waves passing through the ocean of your being.
- Detach gently from the idea that loss means annihilation; life’s essence is eternal.
- Find refuge in steady, mindful breath and small moments of presence.
- Remember: sorrow transforms when seen with the eyes of the eternal self.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be telling yourself, “Why does this pain feel endless? Will I ever feel whole again?” These thoughts are natural, and your heart is crying out for relief. It’s okay to be vulnerable and to rest in your sorrow for a time. In that space, the seeds of healing quietly begin to grow.
📿 What He Would Say...
"My beloved, grief touches the surface of your being, but beneath lies the unchanging self — untouched, steady, and infinite. Do not mistake the passing shadows for the light itself. Let your heart open gently to the truth that you are never truly separated from what you love. Breathe, be still, and know that this too shall pass, like the evening clouds before the dawn."
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student who has just failed an important exam, feeling devastated and lost. At first, the failure feels like the end of their dreams. But with time, support, and reflection, they realize the exam was only one moment, not their entire story. Like that student, your grief is a chapter — painful but not the whole book. Life’s pages keep turning, and new beginnings are quietly waiting.
✨ Just One Step Today
Today, take a few slow, conscious breaths. Sit quietly for five minutes and simply observe your feelings without judgment. Let the grief be there — you don’t have to fix it right now.
