Bhagavad Gita 8.6

Whatever state of being one remembers when leaving the body, that state alone one attains, having been ever absorbed in its thought.

Theme: Grief

"Whatever state of being one remembers when leaving the body, that state alone one attains, having been ever absorbed in its thought."

Modern explanation

In a moment of stillness, receive this: How you carry someone in memory shapes the love that stays. Carry them gently.

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?
