Don't Remove Anything. Just Give It A Boundary

How wonderful. I am learning so much from our ancient wisdom and here I am, trying to pass the same learning to you.

Today Moon is in Bharani Nakshatra. Bharani comes from the word Bhri - to bear, to carry, to nourish and to hold. The one who holds something inside for a long time before it comes out.

Bharani's lord is Yama. And there is a beautiful story around Yama. Yama was the first one to die. He was not appointed from outside but he went first and he was the one to receive everyone who came after.

Yami was in complete grief and could not stop crying. There was no night then - only endless day. So whenever anyone asked her when he died, she said "today." It was always today.

The gods made night. Now a day could finish. She could say "yesterday." And the grief could be put down.

And here's the point - Nobody removed her sorrow. They gave it a boundary.

Most people carrying something heavy are carrying it the way Yami did — without a night. No hour when it stops. No place where it's set down. It's always today.

We have to think and give everything a boundary. Just like Yami did. Just like Bharani has. Bharani is represented as Yoni, a small passage with the capacity to hod something in the dark, for as long as it takes and to let go through a narrow gate at the correct time., neither earlier not later.

Close with the practical version: give the thing an hour. Not forever. Just a boundary. Don't carry it forever within you. Just create a boundary.

Five minutes here.
A clearer head for the day.
