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

In a moment of stillness, receive this: What you grieve is the form you loved. What you loved within the form has not ended.

Practical application

Place a hand on your heart and say: this hurts because it mattered. Both can be true.

Reflection question

What part of the love stays, no matter what?
