🕉️ Timeless Words
सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज ।
अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥
(भगवद्गीता 18.66)
"Abandon all varieties of dharma and simply surrender unto Me alone. I will liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear."
— Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 18, Verse 66
This verse reminds us that ultimate freedom comes from surrendering to the Supreme, beyond all attachments—even those of family and worldly duty. Krishna assures that surrender brings liberation, freeing us from the cycle of birth and death, and from the sorrow of separation.

🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be whispering to yourself, “How can I leave them behind? What will happen to them without me? Am I being selfish if I let go?” These feelings are tender and real. Your love is profound, and your heart aches at the thought of separation. It’s okay to feel this way. Your soul is wrestling with the mystery of impermanence, trying to hold on to what it treasures most. Remember, love does not vanish with the body; it transforms and lives on in a higher, unseen way.

I will carry you through the unknown with peace and light.”
🌱 A Familiar Story

She knows that clinging will only hold them back. With gentle love, she lets them soar into the vast sky, trusting they will find their own way. So too, the soul must leave the nest of the body and family ties, trusting the Divine to guide it safely home.
