🌿 Where You Are Now
Dear one, facing the mystery of death stirs such deep emotions—fear, sorrow, confusion. It touches the very core of our being, making us feel fragile and small. Yet within this uncertainty lies a profound truth that can bring peace beyond words. You are not alone in this journey, and the Bhagavad Gita offers a timeless embrace for your heart.
🕉️ 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)
“For the soul, there is neither birth nor death at any time. It has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. It is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval. It is not slain when the body is slain.”
This verse gently reminds us that our true essence—the soul—is untouched by birth or death. The body is temporary, but the soul is infinite and beyond harm.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- The soul is eternal and unchanging, while the body is transient.
- Death is only the shedding of the physical form, like changing clothes.
- Grief arises from attachment to the body, but recognizing the soul’s immortality brings peace.
- Life and death are cycles; the soul moves on, never destroyed.
- True wisdom is to see beyond the physical and connect with the eternal self.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be whispering to yourself, “Why does it hurt so much to lose someone? How can I accept that they are truly gone?” Your heart feels heavy, tangled in memories and longing. This pain is real and sacred—it reflects your deep love. Yet beneath the grief, there is a quiet, eternal part of you that knows: the soul never leaves, never dies. It simply moves beyond what the eyes can see.
📿 What He Would Say...
“My dear friend, do not grieve as if the soul perishes. The body is but a temporary garment; the soul is your true self, radiant and untouched by death. When you look beyond the form, you will find a vast ocean of peace within. Hold onto this truth, for it is your unchanging refuge in times of loss.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student who outgrows their school uniform each year. Though the uniform changes, the student remains the same inside—growing, learning, living. Death is like changing the uniform; the soul continues its journey, shining brighter with each step. Just as the student’s identity is not in the clothes but in their spirit, your true self is beyond this body.
