Bhagavad Gita 2.27

For one who is born, death is certain; and for one who has died, birth is certain.

Theme: Fear

"For one who is born, death is certain; and for one who has died, birth is certain. Therefore, do not grieve over what is inevitable."

Modern explanation

In a moment of stillness, receive this: When you accept the worst as already woven in, the present becomes startlingly free.

Practical application

Sit with the fear instead of around it. Ask it what it is trying to protect. Listen.

Reflection question

What would my life look like if I stopped letting this fear vote?
