Sanskrit to English Translation

Translator:
Know that to be indestructible, by which all this is pervaded. No one can cause the destruction of that, the Imperishable.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: 'that which pervades the entire body is indestructible' argues that if something can't be located or measured, grieving its ending doesn't quite make sense.

In life: we grieve identities, roles, and relationships as if the core of us went with them.

Teaching: separate what actually changed from what only felt threatened. Often less of you is at stake than it seems.
