Empathy without burnout
संवेदनशील का कवच
For caregivers, healers, friends who feel everything — and need boundaries.
Yoga Sutra 1.33
मैत्रीकरुणामुदितोपेक्षाणां सुखदुःखपुण्यापुण्यविषयाणां भावनातश्चित्तप्रसादनम्॥
Friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the hurting, joy for the good, and healthy distance from the harmful — this clears the mind.
When you absorb everyone’s mood and feel drained.
Bhagavad Gita 12.13
अद्वेष्टा सर्वभूतानां मैत्रः करुण एव च। निर्ममो निरहङ्कारः समदुःखसुखः क्षमी॥
Be a friend without hatred, compassionate without ego, steady in joy and pain, and forgiving — soft heart, strong center.
Before helping someone: care fully, without disappearing yourself.
