🌿 You Are Not Alone
Dear soul, I see the fire burning within you — the restless flames of anger and desire that cloud your peace. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed by these emotions; they are like wild rivers rushing through the heart. Yet, there is a way to gently calm these waters, to find a stillness that no storm can shake. You are not alone on this path, and within you lies the power to choose freedom over bondage.
🕉️ Timeless Words
कामात्मानः सङ्गस्तेषाम् कार्यकारणकारणम्।
जन्म कर्म च मे दिव्यमेवं यो वेत्ति तत्त्वतः॥
— भगवद्गीता १३.२७
"Those whose minds are attached to desires, who see the causes and effects of actions as divine, truly understand the essence of reality." (Chapter 13, Verse 27)
This verse reminds us that desire and attachment arise when the mind is caught in the cycle of cause and effect, craving results. Real wisdom comes when we see beyond these cravings and understand the divine flow behind all actions — freeing us from the turmoil of anger and desire.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Recognize desire as a restless mind’s craving, not your true self.
- See anger as a reaction born from attachment and expectation.
- Practice witnessing your emotions without judgment, like clouds passing across the sky.
- Understand that true freedom comes from detachment — acting without craving the fruits.
- Anchor yourself in the eternal self, which is untouched by the waves of desire and anger.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might hear a voice inside saying, “Why can’t I control this? Why does anger consume me so quickly? Why do desires keep pulling me away from peace?” It’s okay to feel frustrated and tired. These feelings are part of being human, not a failure. Your heart is yearning for calm, even if the mind feels stormy. This yearning is your greatest strength.
📿 What He Would Say...
“My dear friend, anger and desire are like wild horses — powerful, but not your master. When you hold their reins with awareness, they become your allies, not your enemies. Do not blame yourself for these feelings. Instead, observe them gently, and know that the true self within you remains untouched, calm, and free. Step by step, learn to act without attachment, and you will find peace beyond all storms.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine you are a student preparing for an important exam. Desire pushes you to want perfect results, and anger flares when things don’t go as planned. But if you cling too tightly to the outcome, stress and frustration overwhelm you. Instead, what if you focused on doing your best in the moment, without obsessing over the score? This shift from attachment to presence is like calming a wild river — it doesn’t stop flowing, but it no longer floods your heart.
