Bhagavad Gita 2.28

Beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their middle state, and unmanifest again in their end.

Theme: Grief

"Beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their middle state, and unmanifest again in their end. What is there to lament?"

Modern explanation

In a moment of stillness, receive this: Every visible life is a brief crossing between two great silences. The crossing itself is the gift.

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?
