Feeling of rejection is one of the deepest wounds a human can carry.
Even Karna felt this—first rejected by his mother, then by society. His life’s inner conflict was born from that one longing for love, acceptance, and belonging. When love doesn’t come from where we expect it, the heart becomes restless and wounded.
As a child, you don’t understand this pain. You only feel it.
But as you grow, you begin to see that your body, mind, and spirit have been silently seeking acceptance all along.
That’s when the awakening begins:
You realize that the love you were chasing outside must first be cultivated within — as self-love.
And then comes the final expansion:
When you nourish yourself with self-love, you open the doorway to universal love — the love that does not depend on people, relationships, or circumstances.
It is the love that exists simply because you exist.
It is the love that holds you even when the world doesn’t.
Self-love heals the wound.
Universal love fills the soul.
