Bhagavad Gita 15.7

An eternal fragment of myself, having become a living soul in the world of the living, draws to itself the mind and the senses.

Theme: Grief

"An eternal fragment of myself, having become a living soul in the world of the living, draws to itself the mind and the senses."

Modern explanation

When the day pushes against you, remember: The spark you loved in someone was never theirs to own or yours to lose; it belongs to the same source that lit you.

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?
