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

When the day pushes against you, remember: What you grieve is the form you loved. What you loved within the form has not ended.

Practical application

Let grief have its hour. Set a timer if needed. Then return to the living world.

Reflection question

Can I hold this pain without making it the whole story of who I am?
