🌿 Where You Are Now
Dear one, the ache of loss feels like a quiet storm inside us — a mixture of sorrow, confusion, and sometimes even fear. When life’s impermanence touches our heart deeply, it can feel as though the ground beneath us shifts endlessly. Yet, in this fragile moment, there is a gentle truth waiting to cradle your soul. You are not alone in this experience. The Bhagavad Gita offers us a timeless light to hold onto when everything seems fleeting.
🕉️ Timeless Words
न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचि न्नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः।
अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे॥
(Chapter 2, Verse 20)
English Translation:
The soul is never born, nor does it ever die; nor, having once existed, does it ever cease to be. The soul is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval. It is not slain when the body is slain.
Simple Meaning:
This verse reminds us that what we truly are — our inner self, the soul — is untouched by birth or death. Though our bodies and worldly forms change and fade, the essence within remains forever steady and alive.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Life’s physical forms are transient, but your true self is eternal and beyond change.
- Grief touches the surface, but beneath it flows the unchanging river of your soul’s being.
- Accepting impermanence can open the door to deeper peace and surrender.
- Death is a transition, not an end; it is the soul’s journey beyond the temporary.
- Holding onto memories with love is natural, but do not lose sight of the eternal presence within.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
It’s okay to feel lost, to wonder why things must end, to ask, “How do I move on when this pain feels endless?” Your heart is heavy, and your mind may be restless. These feelings are real and valid. Remember, grief is not a flaw but a sacred process of love’s expression. In this turmoil, your soul quietly whispers for you to look beyond the surface — beyond the pain — toward the timeless truth that you are never truly alone or lost.
📿 What He Would Say...
“My dear friend, do not grieve as if the soul itself has perished. The body you see is but a garment, worn for a time and then shed. Just as you change clothes, so does the soul change bodies. This life, with all its joys and sorrows, is a fleeting moment on your eternal journey. Trust in the indestructible light within you. Let your heart find refuge in that unchanging essence, and you will discover peace beyond all loss.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student who finishes one school year and feels the bittersweet pain of leaving friends behind. The classrooms change, the faces shift, and the familiar hallways become memories. But the student carries within them the knowledge, the friendships, and the growth — these are eternal treasures that no change can take away. Just like that student, your soul carries the essence of all your experiences, untouched by the passing of time or loss.
