Have you ever felt trapped in a storm of emotions — regret, anger, anxiety — as if you’re drowning in your own mind? We all have moments when our thoughts seem louder than life itself, when we can’t tell where we end and our feelings begin.
But Bhagwan Swaminarayan offers a profound way out of this inner chaos. In Gadhada I-21, He explains that when the mind is disturbed by fluctuating thoughts, one should realize their true self as distinct from the body.
This simple yet powerful insight can transform the way we experience life’s emotional waves.
You are not your stress.
You are not your mistakes.
You are not your passing moods.
You are the observer — the soul, Sat-Chit-Anand — eternally true (Sat), conscious (Chit), and blissful (Anand).
So the next time your emotions flare up, pause for a moment. Take a deep breath. Remind yourself, “This is not who I am. This is something I am experiencing.”
When you stop identifying with the noise, you begin to hear the calm beneath it. And in that stillness, you rediscover your strength — the power to choose how to feel, how to act, and how to rise.
You are not broken. You are simply buried under a few restless thoughts.
And with awareness, you can gently brush them aside and return to who you truly are — peaceful, radiant, and free.
