Bhagavad Gita 2.20

The Self is never born and never dies.

Theme: Fear

"The Self is never born and never dies. It has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. Unborn, eternal, ancient — it is not slain when the body is slain."

Modern explanation

Begin today by remembering: The deepest part of you cannot be threatened. Fear is loud only at the surface.

Practical application

Identify one small thing you've been avoiding and do it within the first hour.

Reflection question

What is one small, brave act available to me right now?
