Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 2

The Self is the ultimate mystery—even those who glimpse it, speak of it, and hear of it find that knowing it fully remains forever beyond grasp.

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 2

Transcend the three gunas that even scripture operates within—rise beyond all dualities, release the anxiety of getting and keeping, and discover the Self that needs nothing because it already is everything.

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 2

When serenity dawns, all sorrow dissolves—and in that clear heart, wisdom quickly finds its stable ground.

Katha Upanishad, Chapters 1-2

Young Nachiketa, sent to Death by his angry father, waits three days at Yama's abode. Granted three boons, he refuses wealth and pleasures, persisting in asking about death's mystery. Yama reveals the eternal Self (Atman) is unborn and undying - immortality comes through Self-knowledge, not rituals.

Chandogya Upanishad, Chapter 4

Satyakama honestly admits to sage Gautama that he doesn't know his father. Impressed by his truthfulness, Gautama accepts him, declaring only a true Brahmin would speak such truth. While tending cows, Satyakama receives teachings about Brahman from a bull, fire, swan, and bird.

Krishna & Vidura

Remaining righteous in an unrighteous environment is its own form of courage. Sometimes we stay not to change things but to bear witness and mourn. Peace must always be offered so that war, if it comes, is clearly a choice.

Bhima & Jarasandha

Even the invincible can be tired of living. The secret to defeating the unconquerable is often hidden in their own despair. Sometimes the greatest mercy is ending what cannot otherwise end.
