🌿 Where You Are Now
Dear soul, as you face the quiet shadows of old age or the inevitable thoughts of death, it’s natural to feel a mix of fear, sadness, and wonder. The unknown can feel heavy, but within the Bhagavad Gita lies a gentle, eternal promise — that you are more than this fragile body, more than the passing moments. Your true essence is immortal, untouched by time or change. Let’s walk together through this truth and find peace.
🕉️ 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)
English Translation:
The soul is never born; nor does it ever die;
It did not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being;
Unborn, eternal, everlasting, and ancient,
It is not slain when the body is slain.
Explanation:
This verse gently reveals that your true self — the soul — is timeless and indestructible. The body ages, weakens, and dies, but the soul remains untouched, forever existing beyond birth and death. It is the eternal witness to all experiences.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Your soul is eternal and beyond physical decay — it neither begins nor ends.
- Old age and death affect only the body, not the essence of who you truly are.
- Recognizing the soul’s immortality frees you from fear and sorrow about loss.
- Life is a journey of the soul through many forms, like changing clothes, but the soul remains the same.
- True peace arises when you identify with your eternal nature, not the temporary body.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be thinking, “I feel so fragile and scared as my body changes. What will happen when I’m no longer here?” It’s okay to feel this way. These thoughts arise because we naturally cling to what we know — our physical presence, our memories, our identity. But deep inside, there is a part of you that has never aged and never will. That part is your soul, quietly watching, unshaken.
📿 What He Would Say...
“Beloved friend, do not grieve for this body that you have worn for a lifetime. It is but a temporary garment, a home you will leave behind. Your true self is beyond all change — untouched by birth, untouched by death. When you embrace this truth, you will find a lightness in your heart, a freedom from fear. Rest in the knowledge that you are eternal, and in that eternity, you are always safe.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine an old, cherished book. Over time, its cover fades, pages yellow, and the binding weakens. Yet, the story inside — the words, the meaning — remains unchanged, alive in every reader’s heart. Your soul is like that story: the body is the worn cover, the soul is the timeless tale that never fades. Even when the book is set aside, the story lives on.
