Bhagavad Gita 2.22

As a person casts off worn-out garments and puts on new ones, so the embodied soul casts off worn-out bodies and enters new ones.

Theme: Grief

"As a person casts off worn-out garments and puts on new ones, so the embodied soul casts off worn-out bodies and enters new ones."

Modern explanation

In the middle of the day, return to this: What you grieve is the form you loved. What you loved within the form has not ended.

Practical application

Allow yourself two minutes of full feeling. Then drink water and rejoin your day with tenderness.

Reflection question

What would the person I miss want me to do with this afternoon?
