Bhagavad Gita 2.11

You grieve for those who should not be grieved for, yet speak words of wisdom.

Theme: Grief

"You grieve for those who should not be grieved for, yet speak words of wisdom. The wise grieve neither for the living nor for the dead."

Modern explanation

As the day quiets, hold this: Honor the grief, but do not let it convince you that what you loved is gone forever.

Practical application

Write a short letter to what you've lost. You don't have to send it; the writing is the work.

Reflection question

How is love showing up in me, even now?
