  Shloka 14 of chapter -2 of Bhagavad Gita explains that nothing in this world is permanent. Just as winter and summer come and go, so too do moments of pain and pleasure. They are fleeting experiences, part of the natural cycle of life. By understanding their impermanence, we can cultivate equanimity, remaining steady through life’s highs and lows, knowing that neither joy nor sorrow lasts forever. Is everything temporary in life? If we look closely at our daily experiences, the answer seems to lean toward yes. The impermanence of life is something we can understand simply by observing ourselves, our surroundings, and the passage of time. Let’s begin with our own personality. Our personality is not static; it evolves continuously. Just as the seasons change, so too do we. As we grow, learn, and experience new things, our perspectives shift, our behaviors adapt, and our sense of self transforms. Who we are today is not who we were yesterday, and it’s not who we will be tomorrow....

  As I sit here to write my feelings for you my dear daughter, my heart overflows with emotions, because no words can truly capture the depth of my love for you. I find myself overwhelmed as words can never truly capture just how much you mean to me. From the very moment you came into my life, you filled every corner of my heart with a love so profound I never knew it existed. You are, and always will be, my most adorable sweetheart—my heart’s deepest joy and the embodiment of all the love and hope I carry within. You are my heart's greatest treasure, a reflection of all the love and hope I hold inside. There isn’t a single day that passes when I don’t marvel at how incredibly blessed I am to call you my daughter. Your smile, like the sun breaking through clouds, has the power to brighten even the darkest of days, and your laughter is the sweetest sound in the world to me. When I think back to all the moments we've shared since you were a child, my heart swells with pride and j...

  Life is an enigma—one that constantly shifts, evolves, and defies understanding. Every day unfolds as something new, often far from what we envisioned. At night, as I reflect on the day that has passed, I realize that another chapter of my life has come to an end. When I evaluate the day, I see that none of it went according to my plans. In my attempts to make sense of life, I try to plan each new day, imagining how everything will unfold. Yet when tomorrow comes, life rarely adheres to my script. The day seems to move according to its own rhythm, leaving me once again at night, wondering about the unpredictable nature of it all. Life feels like a puzzle—one we try to piece together, but which ultimately assembles itself in ways beyond our control. We never know who we will meet, how long people will stay in our lives, or why they come and go. Some people stay with us for a lifetime, while others leave partway through our journey. Some pass by without leaving a mark, while others...

  Feeling low is something we all experience at some point in life. It can be triggered by past regrets, future worries, or even a lack of clarity about the present.    Despite knowing that life is in the moment and we should focus on the present, our emotions don’t always align with logic. Here's why we often feel low and how to address it: The Mind’s Attachment to the Past and Future : Our minds are wired to dwell on the past and worry about the future. When we think about the past, especially painful memories, we may feel regret or guilt. Similarly, when we think about the future, we might feel anxious about uncertainty or failure. This robs us of peace in the present moment. Emotional Build-Up : Sometimes, emotions pile up unnoticed. Stress, unexpressed feelings, and unresolved issues build up, and seemingly minor triggers can lead to sudden waves of sadness or crying. It’s not that we’re weak or incapable, but that our emotions need release. Self-Criticism and Expect...
